Abstract The procedure explained in this paper permits calculation of individual tire region contributions to rolling loss without altering the tire. Many different tire-build configurations can be considered using this technique. Different belt, bead, and subtread materials' contributions to rolling-loss distribution can be studied; different tire shapes and thicknesses can be considered. Only a single tire of each configuration need be built, and it can be retested if necessary. Results obtained here show that the tread region of the tire tested behaves differently than the other regions. Changes in tire pressure, load, and speed lead to changes in the remaining individual tire regions' contributions that are in the same direction as the overall tire loss. A tire design that is altered to accommodate new specifications may lead to an increase in rolling loss that is greater than some designated value. An analysis of the type presented here may show which region of the new tire design should be changed to bring the loss within desired limits. The heat-transfer coefficient of the tire in this model is a linear function of velocity, independent of tire load and pressure. We have confidence in this relation as the model results are derived from both loss measurements and tire surface temperature measurements made in the laboratory. The model output is based on fundamental heat-transfer precepts and treated mathematically by established analysis techniques.

Heat transfer measurements are made in the separated, reattached, and redeveloped regions of the two-dimensional air flow on a flat plate with blunt leading edge. The flow reattachment occurs at about four plate thicknesses downstream from the leading edge and the heat transfer coefficient becomes maximum at that point and this is independent of the Reynolds number which ranged from 2720 to 17900 in this investigation. The heat transfer coefficient is found to increase sharply near the leading edge. The development of flow is shown through the measurements of the velocity and temperature in the separated, reattached, and redeveloped regions.

Incipient boiling superheat for exponentially increasing heat inputs to a platinum wire supported horizontally in a pool of water was measured for exponential periods ranging from 5 ms to 10 s and for subcoolings ranging from 25 to 75K under atomospheric pressure. The heat transfer coefficient before the initiation of boiling was related to those by conduction and by natural convection. The heat flux at the incipient boiling point increased with the decrease in the period. The log-log plot of the heat flux against the superheat at the incipient boiling point had a single asymptotic line of slope 2 which was independent of subcoolings in the high heat flux region. On the other hand, as the heat flux decreased to zero, the superheat tended to approach to a constant value for each subcooling. This asymptotic superheat at zero heat flux was higher for higher subcooling. Transient incipient boiling superheat was reasonably explained by the combination of two kinds of incipient boiling models.

Many of the pulp mill biorefinery concepts recently presented include removal of lignin from black liquor. In this work, the aim was to study how the change in liquor chemistry affected the evaporation of kraft black liquor when lignin was removed using the LignoBoost process. Lignin was removed from a softwood kraft black liquor and four different black liquors were studied: one reference black liquor (with no lignin extracted); two ligninlean black liquors with a lignin removal rate of 5.5% and 21%, respectively; and one liquor with maximum lignin removal of 60%. Evaporation tests were carried out at the research evaporator in Chalmers University of Technology. Studied parameters were liquor viscosity, boiling point rise, heat transfer coefficient, scaling propensity, changes in liquor chemical composition, and tube incrustation. It was found that the solubility limit for incrustation changed towards lower dry solids for the lignin-lean black liquors due to an increased salt content. The scaling obtained on the tubes was easily cleaned with thin liquor at 105°C. It was also shown that the liquor viscosity decreased exponentially with increased lignin outtake and hence, the heat transfer coefficient increased with increased lignin outtake. Long term tests, operated about 6 percentage dry solids units above the solubility limit for incrustation for all liquors, showed that the heat transfer coefficient increased from 650 W/m2K for the reference liquor to 1500 W/m2K for the liquor with highest lignin separation degree, 60%.

AbstractInvestigations of flow boiling in highly viscous fluids show that heat transfer mechanisms in such fluids are different from those in fluids of low viscosity like refrigerants or water. To gain a better understanding, a modified standard apparatus was developed; it was specifically designed for fluids of high viscosity up to 1000 Pa∙s and enables heat transfer measurements with a single horizontal test tube over a wide range of heat fluxes. Here, we present measurements of the heat transfer coefficient at pool boiling conditions in highly viscous binary mixtures of three different polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS) and n-pentane, which is the volatile component in the mixture. Systematic measurements were carried out to investigate pool boiling in mixtures with a focus on the temperature, the viscosity of the non-volatile component and the fraction of the volatile component on the heat transfer coefficient. Furthermore, copper test tubes with polished and sanded surfaces were used to evaluate the influence of the surface structure on the heat transfer coefficient. The results show that viscosity and composition of the mixture have the strongest effect on the heat transfer coefficient in highly viscous mixtures, whereby the viscosity of the mixture depends on the base viscosity of the used PDMS, on the concentration of n-pentane in the mixture, and on the temperature. For nucleate boiling, the influence of the surface structure of the test tube is less pronounced than observed in boiling experiments with pure fluids of low viscosity, but the relative enhancement of the heat transfer coefficient is still significant. In particular for mixtures with high concentrations of the volatile component and at high pool temperature, heat transfer coefficients increase with heat flux until they reach a maximum. At further increased heat fluxes the heat transfer coefficients decrease again. Observed temperature differences between heating surface and pool are much larger than for boiling fluids with low viscosity. Temperature differences up to 137 K (for a mixture containing 5% n-pentane by mass at a heat flux of 13.6 kW/m2) were measured.

In this article, we use BR0.3 type plate heat exchanger for experiment,and the heat transfer coefficient of the mixed plate heat exchanger is explored. Through the test platform of plate heat exchanger, a large number of experiments have been done in different mixed mode but the same passageway,and lots experimental data are obtained. By the linear fitting method and the analysis of the data, the main factors which influence the heat transfer coefficient of mixed plate heat exchanger were carried out,and the formula of heat transfer coefficient which fits at any mixed mode plate heat exchanger is obtained, to solve the problem of engineering calculation.The fact , there is no denying that the result which we get has great engineering significance

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose a method of determining the transient temperature of the inner surface of thick-walled elements. The method can be used to determine thermal stresses in pressure elements. Design/methodology/approach An inverse marching method is proposed to determine the transient temperature of the thick-walled element inner surface with high accuracy. Findings Initially, the inverse method was validated computationally. The comparison between the temperatures obtained from the solution for the direct heat conduction problem and the results obtained by means of the proposed inverse method is very satisfactory. Subsequently, the presented method was validated using experimental data. The results obtained from the inverse calculations also gave good results. Originality/value The advantage of the method is the possibility of determining the heat transfer coefficient at a point on the exposed surface based on the local temperature distribution measured on the insulated outer surface. The heat transfer coefficient determined experimentally can be used to calculate thermal stresses in elements with a complex shape. The proposed method can be used in online computer systems to monitor temperature and thermal stresses in thick-walled pressure components because the computing time is very short.
