The heat transfer coefficient at the bottom surface of a splat rapidly solidified on a cold substrate is self-consistently and quantitatively investigated. Provided that the boundary condition at the bottom surface of the splat is specified by introducing the obtained heat transfer coefficient, solutions of the splat can be conveniently obtained without solving the substrate. In this work, the solidification front in the splat is governed by nonequilibrium kinetics while the melting front in the substrate undergoes equilibrium phase change. By solving one-dimensional unsteady heat conduction equations and accounting for distinct properties between phases and splat and substrate, the results show that the time-dependent heat transfer coefficient or Biot number can be divided into five regimes: liquid splat-solid substrate, liquid splat-liquid substrate, nucleation of splat, solid splat-solid substrate, and solid splat-liquid substrate. The Biot number at the bottom surface of the splat during liquid splat cooling increases and nucleation time decreases with increasing contact Biot number, density ratio, and solid conductivity of the substrate, and decreasing specific heat ratio. Decreases in melting temperature and liquid conductivity of the substrate and increase in latent heat ratio further decrease the Biot number at the bottom surface of the splat after the substrate becomes molten. Time-dependent Biot number at the bottom surface of the splat is obtained from a scale analysis. [S0022-1481(00)01004-5]

Convective heating is used in materials processing industry for heat treatment and melting applications. Only recently, a new plasma device for convective heating at atmospheric pressure has become commercially available. In this paper, we have investigated heating of an aluminum sprue by conventional convective heating by air and by plasma flow. Transient temperature measurements were made in the sprue interior and the overall heat transfer coefficient was computationally predicted in the two cases. Results show that there is significant enhancement of heat transfer in convective plasma heating compared to heating due to unionized gas under identical flow and temperature conditions. For the cases considered in this study, close to a 60% increase in the heat transfer rate was obtained. The key finding is that even small amount of ionization (~ < 1%) can lead to significant increase in heat transfer coefficient.

This paper provides an extension of the previously described [1] formulation of a one-dimensional model for steady, compressible flow inside a channel, to the steam turbine application. The major challenge faced in the network simulation of the steam turbine secondary system is the prediction of the condensation that occurs during the engine start-up on the cold parts that are below the saturation temperature. Neglecting condensation effects may result in large errors in the engine temperatures since they are calculated based on the boundary conditions (heat transfer coefficient and bulk temperature) which depend on the solution of the network analysis. This paper provides a detailed formulation of a one-dimensional model for steady, compressible flow inside a channel which is based on the solution of two equations for a coupled system of mass, momentum and energy equations with wall condensation. The model also accounts for channel area variation, inclination with respect to the engine axis, rotation, wall friction and external heating. The formulation was first validated against existing 1D correlation for an idealized case. The wall condensation is modeled using the best-suited film condensation models for pressure and heat transfer coefficient available in the literature and has been validated against the experimental data with satisfactory predictions.

The article discusses the process of heat exchange of a finned wall with a coolant. The temperature field in the wall volume was determined on the basis of a numerical solution of the two-dimensional heat conduction problem, and the analysis of the characteristics of temperature distributions was carried out according to the simulation results. The values of the heat transfer coefficient of cooling fins with rectangular cross section were calculated for two variants of heat transfer conditions at the end of the fins in a wide range of dimensionless parameters. The error in calculating the heat transfer coefficient in the approximation of a thin fin was determined by means of a one-dimensional computational model

An analytical solution for the heat transfer in hollow cylinders with time-dependent boundary condition and time-dependent heat transfer coefficient at different surfaces is developed for the first time. The methodology is an extension of the shifting function method. By dividing the Biot function into a constant plus a function and introducing two specially chosen shifting functions, the system is transformed into a partial differential equation with homogenous boundary conditions only. The transformed system is thus solved by series expansion theorem. Limiting cases of the solution are studied and numerical results are compared with those in the literature. The convergence rate of the present solution is fast and the analytical solution is simple and accurate. Also, the influence of physical parameters on the temperature distribution of a hollow cylinder along the radial direction is investigated.
