Proposed Model

Solutions to stationary and moving heat sources on a half space are reviewed for rectangular and elliptic contacts. The effects of shape, heat flux distribution, and orientation with respect to the direction of motion are examined. The dimensionless thermal resistance is shown to be a weak function of heat source shape if the square root of contact area is used as a characteristic length scale. Simple expressions are developed for calculating total thermal resistances of non-circular moving heat sources by combining asymptotic solutions for large and small values of the Peclet number. Both uniform and parabolic heat flux distributions are examined. A model is developed for predicting average or maximum flash temperatures of real sliding contacts. Comparisons of the proposed model are made with numerical solutions for two cases involving non-circular contacts.

Solar thermal towers are a maturing technology that have the potential to supply a significant part of energy requirements of the future. One of the issues that needs careful attention is the heat flux distribution over the central receiver’s surface. It is imperative to maintain receiver’s thermal stresses below the material limits. Therefore, an adequate aiming strategy for each mirror is crucial. Due to the large number of mirrors present in a solar field, most aiming strategies work using a data base that establishes an aiming point for each mirror depending on the relative position of the sun and heat flux models. This paper proposes a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) closed control loop based on a methodology that allows using conventional control strategies such as those based on Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controllers. Results indicate that even this basic control loop can successfully distribute heat flux on the solar receiver.

Heat Flux Model

This paper studies the heat transfer mechanism in deep grinding process, especially the heat flux to the workpiece. On the basis of triangle moving heat source, a quadratic curve heat flux model in the grinding zone was developed to determine the heat flux distribution and to estimate the surface temperature of workpiece. From the calculated theoretical expression of heat flux to the workpiece, the quadratic curve heat flux can be understood as the superposition of square law heat flux, triangular heat flux and uniform heat flux in the grinding zone. Then four heat flux models using the determined amount of heat flux were applied to estimate the workpiece surface temperatures which were compared with that measured by the embedded thermocouple. It has been found that the quadratic curve heat flux distribution seems to give the best match with measured and theoretical temperature, although square law heat flux model is good enough to predict the temperature.

Thin Film Thickness

The effects of contact angle and superheat on thin-film thickness and heat flux distribution occurring in a rectangle microgroove are numerically simulated. Accordingly, physical, and mathematical models are built in detail. Numerical results indicate that meniscus radius and thin-film thickness increase with the improvement of contact angle. The heat flux distribution in the thin-film region increases non-linearly as the contact angle decreases. The total heat transfer through the thin-film region increases with the improvement of superheat, and decreases as the contact angle increases. When the contact angle is equal to zero, the heat transfer in the thin-film region accounts for more than 80% of the total heat transfer. Intensive evaporation in the thin-film region plays a key role in heat transfer for the rectangle capillary microgroove. The liquid with higher wetting performance is more capable of playing the advantages of higher intensity heat transfer in thin- film region. The current investigation will result in a better understanding of thin- -film evaporation and its effect on the effective thermal conductivity in the rectangle microgroove.
