Cake Baking

Rapid airflow in oven will influence the heat transfer in baking process therefore the purpose of this study is to experimentally and numerically investigate the effects of operating conditions on the heat transfer mechanism and volume expansion during baking. Cakes are baked in an air fryer and convection oven with constant speed 5.11 m/s and 0.88 m/s respectively at 150, 160, 170 °C in different baking times. A heat transfer model was defined to describe the influence of baking temperature on internal cake temperature by Fourier’s law. It was observed that the presence of rapid airflow (air fryer) and increment in oven temperature yielded an increase in volume expansion but produced a less moist product. Cakes baked in the presence of rapid airflow at 150 °C were moister but with little volume expansion in the cakes compared to convection oven-baked cakes. Significant correlation between the numerical models with experimental temperature profiles were recorded during complete cake baking process.

In this paper a mathematical model was developed to predict temperature profiles for two-phase oil-water stratified flows. Based on the energy balance of a control volume, analytical solutions were derived for the prediction of temperature profiles for two-phase oil/water stratified flow pattern in pipe flows. The model has been verified with a single-phase heat transfer model, which is available in most heat transfer textbooks. Two typical cases were simulated for extreme operating conditions with water cuts of 0% and 100%, respectively. This analytical model was also validated against experimental data. The test was conducted on a multiphase facility with accurate flow control devices and effective thermal treating units. The water cut was set at 50% for this test. The simulation results and experimental data agree within the experimental uncertainty. The closure relationships can be conveniently applied to a two-phase oil/water paraffin deposition model, which is dependent on the heat transfer process. The model was also used to predict the temperature profiles for two-phase oil and water flows with different water cuts.

Experiments were conducted to determine the effects of buoyancy and Coriolis forces on heat transfer in turbine blade internal coolant passages. The experiments were conducted with a large-scale, multipass, heat transfer model with both radially inward and outward flow. Trip strips on the leading and trailing surfaces of the radial coolant passages were used to produce the rough walls. An analysis of the governing flow equations showed that four parameters influence the heat transfer in rotating passages: coolant-to-wall temperature ratio, Rossby number, Reynolds number, and radius-to-passage hydraulic diameter ratio. The first three of these four parameters were varied over ranges that are typical of advanced gas turbine engine operating conditions. Results were correlated and compared to previous results from stationary and rotating similar models with trip strips. The heat transfer coefficients on surfaces, where the heat transfer increased with rotation and buoyancy, varied by as much as a factor of four. Maximum values of the heat transfer coefficients with high rotation were only slightly above the highest levels obtained with the smooth wall model. The heat transfer coefficients on surfaces where the heat transfer decreased with rotation, varied by as much as a factor of three due to rotation and buoyancy. It was concluded that both Coriolis and buoyancy effects must be considered in turbine blade cooling designs with trip strips and that the effects of rotation were markedly different depending upon the flow direction.

Abstract An axisymmetric model coupling counter-current gas-solid flow, heat transfer, and thermochemical redox reactions in a moving-bed tubular reactor was developed. The counter-current flow enhances convective heat transfer and a low oxygen partial pressure environment is maintained for thermal reduction within the reaction zone by using oxygen depleted inlet gas. A similar concept can be used for the oxidation reactor which releases high-temperature heat that can be used for power generation or as process heat. The heat transfer model was validated with published results for packed bed reactors. After validation, the model was applied to simulate the moving-bed reactor performance, through which the effects of the main geometric parameters and operating conditions were studied to provide guidance for lab-scale reactor fabrication and testing.

Due to their greater flexibility in heating and high productivity, continuous tunnel-type ovens have become the best option for industrial processes. The geometric optimization of ovens to better take advantage of the heat transfer mechanisms by convection and thermal radiation is increasingly researched; with the search for designs that combine lower fuel consumption, greater efficiency and competitiveness, and lower costs. In this sense, this work studied the influence of height on heat exchanges by radiation and convection and other flow parameters to define the best geometric height for the real oven under study. From the dimensions and real operating conditions of continuous tunnel-type ovens were built five numerical models of parametric variation, which were simulated with the free and open-source software OpenFOAM®. The turbulent forced convection regime was characterized in all models. The use of greater heights in the ovens increased and intensified the recirculation regions, reduced the rates of heat transfer by thermal radiation, and reduced the losses of heat by convection. The order of magnitude of heat exchanges by radiation proved to be much higher than heat exchanges by convection, confirming the results of the main references in the technical-scientific literature. It was concluded that the use of ovens with a lower height provides significant increases in the thermal radiation heat transfer rates.

Each of the elements that make up the turbocharger has been gradually improved. In order to ensure that the system does not experience any mechanical failures or loss of efficiency, it is important to study which engine-operating conditions could produce the highest failing rate. Common failing conditions in turbochargers are mostly achieved due to oil contamination and high temperatures in the bearing system. Thermal management becomes increasingly important for the required engine performance. Therefore, it has become necessary to have accurate temperature and heat transfer models. Most thermal design and analysis codes need data for validation; often the data available fall outside the range of conditions the engine experiences in reality leading to the need to interpolate and extrapolate disproportionately. This article presents a fast three-dimensional heat transfer model for computing internal temperatures in the central housing for non-water cooled turbochargers and its direct validation with experimental data at different engine-operating conditions of speed and load. The presented model allows a detailed study of the temperature rise of the central housing, lubrication channels, and maximum level of temperature at different points of the bearing system of an automotive turbocharger. It will let to evaluate thermal damage done to the system itself and influences on the working fluid temperatures, which leads to oil coke formation that can affect the performance of the engine. Thermal heat transfer properties obtained from this model can be used to feed and improve a radial lumped model of heat transfer that predicts only local internal temperatures. Model validation is illustrated, and finally, the main results are discussed.

A heat transfer model that can predict the temperature distribution in moving flexible composite materials (webs) for various heating/cooling conditions is developed in this paper. Heat transfer processes are widely employed in roll-to-roll (R2R) machines that are used to perform processing operations, such as printing, coating, embossing, and lamination, on a moving flexible material. The goal is to efficiently transport the webs over heating/cooling rollers and ovens within such processes. One of the key controlled variables in R2R transport is web tension. When webs are heated or cooled during transport, the temperature distribution in the web causes changes in the mechanical and physical material properties and induces thermal strain. Tension behavior is affected by these changes and thermal strain. To determine thermal strain and material property changes, one requires the distribution of temperature in moving webs. A multilayer heat transfer model for composite webs is developed in this paper. Based on this model, temperature distribution in the moving web is obtained for the web transported on a heat transfer roller and in a web span between two adjacent rollers. Boundary conditions that reflect many types of heating/cooling of webs are considered and discussed. Thermal contact resistance between the moving web and heat transfer roller surfaces is considered in the derivation of the heat transfer model. Model simulations are conducted for a section of a production R2R coating and fusion process line, and temperature data from these simulations are compared with measured data obtained at key locations within the process line. In addition to determining thermal strain in moving webs, the model is valuable in the design of heating/cooling sources required to obtain a certain desired temperature at a specific location within the process line. Further, the model can be used in determining temperature dependent parameters and the selection of operating conditions such as web speed.

Abstract The open volumetric air receiver (OVAR)-based central solar thermal systems provide air at a temperature > 1000 K. Such a receiver is comprised of porous absorbers, which are exposed to a high heat-flux > 800 Suns (1 Sun = 1 kW/m2). A reliable assessment of heat transfer in an OVAR is necessary to operate such a receiver under transient conditions. Based on a literature review, the need for developing a comprehensive, unsteady, heat transfer model is realized. In this paper, a seven-equations based, one-dimensional, zonal model is deduced. This includes heat transfer in porous absorber, primary-air, return-air, receiver casing, and their detailed interaction. The zonal model is validated with an inhouse experiment showing its predictive capability, for unsteady and steady conditions, within the reported uncertainty of ±7%. The validated model is used for investigating the effect of operating conditions and absorber geometry on the thermal performance of an absorber. Some of the salient observations are (a) the maximum absorber porosity of 70–90% may be preferred for non-volumetric and volumetric-heating conditions, (b) the minimum air-return ratio should be 0.7, and (c) the smallest gap to absorber-length ratio of 0.2 should suffice. Finally, suggestions are provided for extending the model.

Abstract The thermal stability parameter is an important parameter for predicting the lifespan of structures. In this paper, a two-dimensional transient heat transfer model of machine gun barrels undergoing continuous firing developed and analyzed for different geometries and thermal properties. The model for the transient thermal analysis is based on the forced convection heat transfer at the inner surface of the gun barrel. Finite element simulations were performed to predict the interior and exterior barrel temperature profiles and temperature contours after continuous firing process. The incomplete Cholesky Conjugate Gradient (ICCG) solver was adopted in solving unsymmetrical thermal transient analyses. The material thermal behavior studied for the basic circular cross section of gun barrels showed that the lowest inner wall temperature was for high rounds was achieved in steel barrels due to the rapid conducted and convective heat transfer to the environment. While the highest inner wall temperature was recorded for ceramic STK4 barrels and an increase of inner wall temperature by 17% was observed as compared to the typical case of circular cross section steel barrel. In general, a higher inner temperature in the gun barrel is undesirable and harm due to the possibility of reaching the cook-off scenario at earlier rounds. Results concluded that non-circular geometries with constrained cross section areas of typical case improve thermal management and the hexagonal geometry had the best thermal management and could provide more rounds for users. In addition, titanium barrels would have a weight drop of 41% while the overall barrel’s temperature increases by 49%.

Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cell

A three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and electrochemical model has been created to model high-temperature electrolysis cell performance and steam electrolysis in an internally manifolded planar solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) stack. This design is being evaluated experimentally at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) for hydrogen production from nuclear power and process heat. Mass, momentum, energy, and species conservation are numerically solved by means of the commercial CFD code FLUENT. A solid-oxide fuel cell (SOFC) model adds the electrochemical reactions and loss mechanisms and computation of the electric field throughout the cell. The FLUENT SOFC user-defined subroutine was modified for this work to allow for operation in the SOEC mode. Model results provide detailed profiles of temperature, operating potential, steam-electrode gas composition, oxygen-electrode gas composition, current density and hydrogen production over a range of stack operating conditions. Results will be presented for a five-cell stack configuration that simulates the geometry of five-cell stack tests performed at the INL and at Materials and System Research, Inc. (MSRI). Results will also be presented for a single cell that simulates conditions in the middle of a large stack. Flow enters the stack from the bottom, distributes through the inlet plenum, flows across the cells, gathers in the outlet plenum and flows downward making an upside-down “U” shaped flow pattern. Flow and concentration variations exist downstream of the inlet holes. Predicted mean outlet hydrogen and steam concentrations vary linearly with current density, as expected. Contour plots of local electrolyte temperature, current density, and Nernst potential indicate the effects of heat transfer, reaction cooling/heating, and change in local gas composition. Results are discussed for using this design in the electrolysis mode. Discussion of thermal neutral voltage, enthalpy of reaction, hydrogen production, cell thermal efficiency, cell electrical efficiency, and Gibbs free energy are discussed and reported herein.
