Purpose The buried pipe element method can be used to calculate the temperature of mass concrete through highly efficient computing. However, in this method, temperatures along cooling pipes and the convection coefficient of the cooling pipe boundary should be improved to achieve higher accuracy. Thus, there is a need to propose a method for improvement. Design/methodology/approach According to the principle of heat balance and the temperature gradient characteristics of concrete around cooling pipes, a method to calculate the water temperature along cooling pipes using the buried pipe element method is proposed in this study. By comparing the results of a discrete algorithm and the buried pipe element method, it was discovered that the convection coefficient of the cooling pipe boundary for the buried pipe element method is only related to the thermal conductivity of concrete; therefore, it can be calculated by inverse analysis. Findings The results show that the buried pipe element method can achieve the same accuracy as the discrete method and simulate the temperature field of mass concrete with cooling pipes efficiently and accurately. Originality/value This new method can improve the calculation accuracy of the embedded element method and make the calculation results more reasonable and reliable.

Proposed Model

The adiabatic temperature rise model of mass concrete is very important for temperature field simulation, same to crack resistance capacity and temperature control of concrete structures. In this research, a thermal kinetics analysis was performed to study the exothermic hydration reaction process of concrete, and an adiabatic temperature rise model was proposed. The proposed model considers influencing factors, including initial temperature, temperature history, activation energy, and the completion degree of adiabatic temperature rise and is theoretically mature and definitive in physical meaning. It was performed on different initial temperatures for adiabatic temperature rise test; the data were employed in a regression analysis of the model parameters and initial conditions. The same function was applied to describe the dynamic change of the adiabatic temperature rise rates for different initial temperatures and different temperature changing processes and subsequently employed in a finite element analysis of the concrete temperature field. The test results indicated that the proposed model adequately fits the data of the adiabatic temperature rise test, which included different initial temperatures, and accurately predicts the changing pattern of adiabatic temperature rise of concrete at different initial temperatures. Compared with the results using the traditional age-based adiabatic temperature rise model, the results of a calculation example revealed that the simulated calculation results using the proposed model can accurately reflect the temperature change pattern of concrete in heat dissipation conditions.

The Difference

Most existing temperature field calculation programs have relative defects. In the present paper, based on merits of ANSYS platform, a temperature field calculation program of mass concrete structure is developed and demonstrated. According to actual pouring progress and thermodynamic parameters, a roller-compacted concrete dam is simulated. The difference of maximum temperature between calculated and measured values of measuring points is less than 1.8°C. Furthermore, the relative difference is -5%–5%. This result shows that the calculation program developed based on ANSYS platform can simulate and calculate the temperature field of mass concrete structure.

The paper presents the experimental and theoretical study for temperature distribution around the cooling pipes of an ice rink pad. The heat transfer in the skating rink track is nonstationary and phase changing. In case of skating rinks equipped with pipe registers, the temperature field during the ice formation process can’t be modeled by analytical methods. The experimental research was targeted on finding the temperatures in several points of the pad and also details on ice shape and quality around the pipes. The temperatures measured on the skating ring surface using thermocouples is impossible due to the larger diameter of the thermocouple bulb compared with the air-water surfaces thickness. For this reason we used to measure the temperature by thermography method, thus reducing the errors The experimental results were compared against the numerical modeling using finite elements.

Thermal Hydraulic Analysis

A special-shaped water tank with large aspect ratio and limited volume for cooling was investigated using computational fluid dynamics. The influence of a separator on the heat transfer ability in the water tank is analyzed. When there is no separator, the arrangement of cooling pipes is very important to the heat transfer and temperature field in the water tank. The total heat flux of the pipe bundle and the temperature field will become bad if the pipe bundle is arranged not uniform in the water tank. Adding a separator can greatly enhance the integral natural convection of cold and hot water in the water tank and a uniform temperature field and regular velocity field could be got. The heat transfer ability for the structure with a separator is better than the structure without a separator, and is not sensible to the arrangement of the pipe bundle. The heat transfer ability also did not change when the position of separator and pipe bundle exchanged, and is not a strong function of the distance between separator and the pipe bundle or the wall of the water tank. Finally, the inclination of the water tank is discussed.

Concrete Mass

In construction practice of concrete mass needs a large amount of concrete. Due to the small surface area to volume ratio, the concrete mass is often happening thermal cracking caused by the release of heat during the hydration of the cement. The causes of thermal cracking in concrete mass are complex but the main reason is the increase in temperature in the concrete structure. Provide measures to control the maximum temperature concrete mass is very absolutely necessary. A finite element model of the concrete mass was established by the software Midas civil, the temperature field in the concrete mass has been determined and a mathematical model was created that adequately describes the influence factors on the temperature field in a concrete mass such as unit cement content, cement maximum heat released, the placing temperature of concrete and the water temperature in order to determine the optimal parameters.
