A hybrid modeling approach based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element method (FEM) is presented to simulate and study cryogenic machining (CM) of Ti–6Al–4V alloy. CFD analysis was carried out to study the characteristics of the fluid flow and heat transfer process of liquid nitrogen (LN2) jet used as a coolant in turning operation. The velocity, turbulence, gas volume fraction, and temperature of the impingement jet were investigated. Based on the analysis results, the coefficient of heat transfer (CHT) between the LN2 and cutting tool/insert was obtained and used in the FEM analysis to model the heat transfer process between the LN2 and the tool/chip/workpiece. A three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model was developed to simulate a real CM operation. CM tests were carried out to validate the 3D FE model by comparing cutting forces and chip temperature. To evaluate LN2 cooling effect on tool temperature and tool wear, a two-dimensional (2D) FE model was developed for steady-state thermal analysis of cryogenic and dry machining. Based on the predicted temperatures, the tool wear was estimated, showing that LN2 cooling can significantly improve tool life.

This paper first describes a variety of heat transfer which exists in cable’s discharge pipe laying process, and analyzes the entire heat transfer process of 10kV three core cable in a two-dimensional interface qualitatively according to the heat transfer ways. Meanwhile, a finite element model of 10kV three-core cable’s discharged pipe-laying is established, and its temperature field equations and boundary condition equations has been discussed. Finally, we get the heat transfer process of the three core cable’s pipe-laying discharged and a finite element model which can be applied to simulated calculation.

In the fast filling process, in order to control the temperature of the vehicle-mounted storage tank not to exceed the upper limit of 85 °C, it is an effective method to add a hydrogen pre-cooling system upstream of the hydrogenation machine. In this paper, Fluent is used to simulate the heat transfer process of high-pressure hydrogen in a shell-and-tube heat exchanger and the phase change process of refrigerant R23. The accuracy of the model is proven by a comparison with the data in the references. Using this model, the temperature field and gas volume fraction in the heat transfer process are obtained, which is helpful to analyze the heat transfer mechanism. At the same time, the influence of hydrogen inlet temperature, hydrogen inlet pressure, and refrigerant flow rate on the refrigeration performance was studied. The current work shows that the model can be used to determine the best working parameters in the pre-cooling process and reduce the operating cost of the hydrogen refueling station.

AbstractIn this work, the finite element method is employed to simulate heat transfer and irreversibilities in a mixed convection two-phase flow through a wavy enclosure filled with water–alumina nanoliquid and contains a rotating solid cylinder in the presence of a uniform magnetic field. Impact of the variations of undulations number (0 ≤ N ≤ 5), Ra (103 ≤ Ra ≤ 106), Ha (0 ≤ Ha ≤ 100), and angular rotational velocity (− 500 ≤ Ω ≤ 500) were presented. Isotherms distribution, streamlines and isentropic lines are displayed. The governing equations are verified by using the Galerkin Finite Element Method (GFEM). The Nusselt numbers are calculated and displayed graphically for several parametric studies. The computational calculations were carried out using Buongiorno's non-homogeneous model. To illustrate the studied problem, a thorough discussion of the findings was conducted. The results show the enhacement of the maximum value of the flow function and the heat transfer process by increasing the value of Rayleigh number. Furthermore the irreversibility is primarily governed by the heat transfer component and the increment of the waviness of the active surfaces or the cylinder rotational velocity or hartmann number will suppress the fluid motion and hinders the heat transfer process.

Composite printed electronic boards are susceptible of structural failure or irreversible damage under thermally raised stresses. A thermal/structural finite element model is integrated in this study to enable the predictions of the temperature and stress distribution of vertically clamped parallel circuit boards that include series of symmetrically mounted heated electronic modules (chips). The board is modeled as a thin plate containing four heated flush rectangular areas that represent the electronic modules. The finite element model should be to able to accept the convection heat transfer on the board surface, heat generation in the modules, and directional conduction inside the board. A detailed 3-D CFD model is incorporated to predict the conjugate heat transfer coefficients that strongly affect the temperature distribution in the board and modules. Structural analyses are performed by a FE model that uses the heat transfer coefficients mentioned above, and structural elements capable of handling orthotropic material properties. The stress fields are obtained and compared for the models possessing different fiber orientations and fiber volume fractions. Appreciable differences in stress and thermal gradient fields were observed. The values of fiber volume fraction and fiber orientation at which to conduct analyses was guided by experimental design (DOE) ideas leading to a metamodel of the stress intensity and temperature gradient in the board which was used to represent the complied results of this study.

The Container Analysis Fire Environment (CAFE-3D) is a computer code developed at Sandia National Laboratories to simulate heat transfer from large fires to engulfed packages for transportation risk studies. These studies require accurate estimates of the total heat transfer to an object and the general characteristics of the object temperature distribution for a variety of fire environments. Since risk studies require multiple simulations, analysis tools must be rapid as well as accurate. In order to meet these needs, CAFE-3D links Isis-3D (a general purpose computational fluid dynamics/radiation heat transfer code that calculates fire behavior) to commercial finite element (FE) codes that calculates package response. In this scheme, CAFE-3D runs Isis-3D only periodically during the calculation to update local fire boundary conditions to the FE model. The frequency and duration of the fire update calculations are user controlled based on the fire time and/or package temperature rise. In this paper we outline various models employed by Isis-3D and the method for finding the soot volume fraction used to define the edge of the diffusively radiating fire zone. Then, the linkage between Isis-3D and the MSC P\Thermal finite element code is explained. Finally a benchmarking simulation, which reproduced the temperature data from the 30-minute light-crosswind fire using only 10 hrs of computational time on a standard workstation, is described.

This work is part of a series of articles under the general title The structural design of the blast furnace wall from efficient materials [1–3]. In part 1, Problem statement and calculation prerequisites, typical multilayer enclosing structures of a blast furnace are considered. The layers that make up these structures are described. The main attention is paid to the lining layer. The process of iron smelting and temperature conditions in the characteristic layers of the internal environment of the furnace is briefly described. Based on the theory of A.V. Lykov, the initial equations describing the interrelated transfer of heat and mass in a solid are analyzed in relation to the task – an adequate description of the processes for the purpose of further rational design of the multilayer enclosing structure of the blast furnace. A priori the enclosing structure is considered from a mathematical point of view as the unlimited plate. In part 2, Solving boundary value problems of heat transfer, boundary value problems of heat transfer in individual layers of a structure with different boundary conditions are considered, their solutions, which are basic when developing a mathematical model of a non-stationary heat transfer process in a multi-layer enclosing structure, are given. Part 3 presents a mathematical model of the heat transfer process in the enclosing structure and an algorithm for its implementation. The proposed mathematical model makes it possible to solve a large number of problems. Part 4 presents a number of examples of calculating the heat transfer process in a multilayer blast furnace enclosing structure. The results obtained correlate with the results obtained by other authors, this makes it possible to conclude that the new mathematical model is suitable for solving the problem of rational design of the enclosing structure, as well as to simulate situations that occur at any time interval of operation of the blast furnace enclosure.
