The combustion of multi-hole pyrophoric activated metal is solid combustion and the combustion mechanism is quite complex, which is a difficult problem to be solved. Once the pyrophoric activated metal is exposed to air, the oxygen diffuses to the interior of the activated metal within plenty of holes and reacts with it, which enlarges the contact area with oxygen. Consequently, the whole combustion is vigorous and the temperature rises rapidly. To study the combustion mechanism of the chaff, the surface heat balance equation is established in this work by taking Mg as the activated metal. To solve this equation, the chaff adiabatic wall temperature distribution is computed by computational fluid dynamics in the presence of high-speed airflow. Then, the chaff surface temperature distribution is obtained by solving the heat balance equations. Finally, numerical and experimental results obtained via an infrared thermal imager are compared to demonstrate the effectiveness of the established equation.

Accidents of icing on catenary have great impacts on normal operation of trains. An on-line anti-icing technology used static var generator (SVG) for catenary was proposed, which can prevent icing formation without interrupting trains normal operation. The heat balance equations for catenary were solved, whose results were compared with data provided by TB/T 3111 and testing show the equation was correct. The simulation model based on Matlab was bulit , whose results and analysis show the correctness of the method.

An approximate method for calculation of the hourly output of a solar still over a 24-hour cycle has been studied. The hourly performance of a solar still is predicted given the values of the insolation, ambient temperature, wind heat-transfer coefficient, water depth, and the heat-transfer coefficient through base and sides. The proposed method does not require graphical constructions and does not assume constant heat-transfer coefficients as in the previous methods. The possibility of using the values of the heat-transfer coefficients for the preceding time interval in the heat balance equations is examined. In fact, two variants of the basic method of calculation are examined. The hourly rate of evaporation is obtained. The results are compared to those obtained by numerical solution of the complete set of heat balance equations. The errors from the approximate method in prediction of the 24-hour output are within ±1.5 percent of the values from the numerical solution using the heat balance equations. The range of variables covered is 5 to 15 cms in water depth, 0 to 3 W/m2K in a heat-transfer coefficient through base and sides, and 5 to 40 W/m2K in a wind heat-transfer coefficient.

The paper is focused on the physical phenomena that occurs during gas atomization process, like fragmentation mechanism of the molten stream, the secondary breakup mechanism, droplets velocities and particles temperature history. The modeling of droplet dynamic and thermal history was achieved by using a software program realized by authors, called MetLAB, using the heat balance equations between the cooling gas and the molten metal droplets.

Abstract The results of an experimental study of the adiabatic wall temperature for a supersonic air flow across the cylinder are presented. The temperature was measured contactlessly using an InfraTEC ImageIR 8855 thermal imager through a ZnSe infrared illuminator. The freestream Mach number was 3.0, input flow total temperature was 295 K, and the total pressure 615 kPa. The Reynolds number calculated from the cylinder diameter (30 mm) was about 106. It is shown that it is possible in principle to determine the high-speed flow total temperature by defining the maximum temperature of a cylindrical probe at the front critical point. Thermograms of the wall temperature distribution along the profile of the cylinder were obtained. The research was performed at the experimental facilities of the Institute of Mechanics of Lomonosov Moscow State University.

To test the validity of the theory, described in Part I of this investigation, calculations are performed for a cylindrical, two-axial groove journal bearing over a range of loads and speeds. The results give the temperature distribution in the lubricant film and in the bearing sleeve, the journal surface temperature, the heat balance for the bearing, the journal center eccentricity, and the film pressure profile. The calculated results are compared with experimental measurements, and although significant discrepancies are observed, the overall agreement is satisfactory, considering the usual tolerance effects and the uncertainties in defining some of the design parameters

The objective of this study is to evaluate the thermal performance of clay-straw walls of buildings integrating phase change materials (PCM). The influence of integrating different types of PCM in the envelope has been studied numerically in several studies. The optimal wall thickness with PCM integrated suitable for the climatic conditions of Errachidia has been studied. The heat balance equations for the different wall configurations are formulated and solved numerically under the same climatic conditions. The results obtained show that the integration of PCM in the clay-straw wall instead of the cement wall increases the heat flux density as a function of time by up to 80 % based on the thermal properties of the PCM and the environmental conditions of the study.

The increment of heat load in Wind Turbine's engine room could cause the system shut down. In this paper the heat balance of Wind Turbine's engine room is investigated according to the structure of the engine room, environmental operating requirements as well as heat-dissipating of different components of a 3MW Wind Turbine System. The heat load of the engine room is analyzed and the physical model is developed based on finite volume method. After that, the temperature distribution of the cabin is obtained under different conditions with/without the jet unit. The temperature distribution in engine compartments with different number and the arrangement of jet units is compared in this paper. Based on the analysis, the cabin cooling design is carried out to achieve the purpose of stopping heat gathering and keeping heat balance of the cabin. This work puts forward the heat balance maintenance and completes the corresponding research, which could be helpful for the optimization of large-capacity Wind Turbine cooling system.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the time dependence distribution of workpiece cutting temperature in milling process. An experimental system used to achieve a measurement of cutting temperature in high speed milling is designed by use of the thermocouple and infrared thermal imager. The general regularity of temperature distribution is concluded, and the influence of the process variables such as cutting speed, cutting depth, etc. on the temperature distribution was investigated in detail. All the experiment results can be effective used to develop a new non-contact soft-sensing method for high speed cutting temperature prediction.
