Characterization of heat transfer to calorimeters engulfed in pool fires is extremely important. To estimate the heat flux to the calorimeters, experiments are performed with horizontal stainless steel 304L pipes engulfed in diesel pool fires. The concept of adiabatic surface temperature is applied to predict the incident heat flux to horizontally oriented calorimeters engulfed in diesel pool fires. Plate thermometers are used to measure the adiabatic surface temperature for diesel pool fires. The estimated subsurface temperatures inside the steel pipes using the adiabatic surface temperature concept and the measured temperatures are in good agreement. Adiabatic surface temperature is also computed from fire simulations. The incident heat fluxes to the steel pipes engulfed in fire predicted from the simulations are found to be in good agreement with the experiments. The fire numerical code is validated against the 1 m pool fire experimental results of centerline temperature distribution and irradiances away from fire. A correlation is provided for the estimation of adiabatic surface temperature for large diesel pool fires. These results would provide an effective way for thermal test simulations.

Thermal Transient

The scope of this work was to develop a technique based on the regression method and apply it on a real cooled geometry for measuring its internal heat transfer distribution. The proposed methodology is based upon an already available literature approach. For implementation of the methodology, the geometry is initially heated to a known steady temperature, followed by thermal transient, induced by injection of ambient air to its internal cooling system. During the thermal transient, external surface temperature of the geometry is recorded with the help of infrared camera. Then, a numerical procedure based upon a series of transient finite element analyses of the geometry is applied by using the obtained experimental data. The total test duration is divided into time steps, during which the heat flux on the internal surface is iteratively updated to target the measured external surface temperature. The final procured heat flux and internal surface temperature data of each time step is used to find the convective heat transfer coefficient via linear regression. This methodology is successfully implemented on three geometries: a circular duct, a blade with U-bend internal channel, and a cooled high pressure vane of real engine, with the help of a test rig developed at the University of Florence, Italy. The results are compared with the ones retrieved with similar approach available in the open literature, and the pros and cons of both methodologies are discussed in detail for each geometry.

High Output

High-output diesel engine heat transfer measurements are presented in this paper, which is the first of a two-part series of papers. Local piston heat transfer, based on fast-response piston surface temperature data, is compared to global engine heat transfer based on thermodynamic data. A single-cylinder research engine was operated at multiple conditions, including very high-output cases – 30 bar IMEPg and 250 bar in-cylinder pressure. A wireless telemetry system was used to acquire fast-response piston surface temperature data, from which heat flux was calculated. An interpolation and averaging procedure was developed and a method to recover the steady-state portion of the heat flux based on the in-cylinder thermodynamic state was applied. The local measurements were spatially integrated to find total heat transfer, which was found to agree well with the global thermodynamic measurements. A delayed onset of the rise of spatially averaged heat flux was observed for later start of injection timings. The dataset is internally consistent, for example, the local measurements match the global values, which makes it well suited for heat transfer correlation development; this development is pursued in the second part of this paper.

This paper investigates the effects of gear geometry, rotational speed and applied load, as well as lubrication conditions on surface temperature of high-speed gear teeth. The analytical approach and procedure for estimating frictional heat flux and heat transfer coefficients of gear teeth in high-speed operational conditions was developed and accounts for the effect of oil mist as a cooling medium. Numerical simulations of tooth temperature based on finite element analysis were established to investigate temperature distributions and variations over a range of applied load and rotational speed, which compared well with experimental measurements. A sensitivity analysis of surface temperature to gear configuration, frictional heat flux, heat transfer coefficients, and oil and ambient temperatures was conducted and the major parameters influencing surface temperature were evaluated.

Shape Dependence

The laminar boundary layer equations for free convection over bodies of arbitrary shape (i.e., a three-term series expansion) and with arbitrary surface heat flux or surface temperature are solved in local Cartesian coordinates. Both two-dimensional bodies (e.g., horizontal cylinders) and axisymmetric bodies (e.g., spheres) with finite radii of curvature at their stagnation points are considered. A Blasius series expansion is applied to convert from partial to ordinary differential equations. An additional transformation removes the surface shape dependence and the surface heat flux or surface temperature dependence of the equations. A second-order-correct, finite-difference method is used to solve the resulting equations. Tables of results for low Prandtl numbers are presented, from which local Nusselt numbers can be computed.

Abstract A transient, in-situ method was examined for calibrating thin-film heat flux gauges using experimental data generated from both convection and radiation tests. Also, a comparison is made between this transient method and the standard radiation substitution calibration technique. Six Vatell Corporation HFM-7 type heat flux gauges were mounted on the surface of a 2-D, first-stage turbine rotor blade. These gauges were subjected to radiation from a heat lamp and in a separate experiment to a convective heat flux generated by flow in a transonic cascade wind tunnel. A second set of convective tests were performed using jets of cooled air impinging on the surface of the gauges. Direct measurements were simultaneously taken of both the time-resolved heat flux and surface temperature on the blade. The heat flux input was used to predict a surface temperature response using a one-dimensional, semi-infinite conduction model into a substrate with known thermal properties. The sensitivities of the gauges were determined by correlating the semi-infinite predicted temperature response to the measured temperature response. A finite-difference code was used to model the penetration of the heat flux into the substrate in order to estimate the time for which the semi-infinite assumption was valid. The results from these tests showed that the gauges accurately record both the convection and radiation modes of heat transfer. The radiation and convection tests yielded gauge sensitivities which agreed to within ±11%.
