The present work describes the state-of-the-art technology for a Sideway Faced Porous Radiant Burner (SFPRB) of 10–15 kW capacity, operated by liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) applicable for industrial furnace and incinerator. The newly developed SFPRB is a two layer burner, consisting of a reaction zone and a preheat zone. The combustion zone is of reticulated SiC ceramic matrix of porosity 90%, diameter 120 mm and thickness 20 mm and the preheat zone is of Al2O3 ceramic having 463 through holes (diameter 1.5 mm), with 15 mm thickness and 120 mm diameter. The work presents the effect of geometrical parameters (length of mixing pipe and diameter of orifice) on the radial temperature distribution of burner surface. Experimentation has been done in 15 kW input power to study the behavior of air-fuel mixture entering the burner. Ultimately, it is focused for uniform temperature distribution on the burner surface with a suitable arrangement. The work also presents a detailed account of the temperature distribution along the two main burner axes and the emission measurements (CO and NOx) for the suitable SFPRB. Investigation was done for an input power range of 10–15 kW with an equivalence ratio of 0.5.

Comfort conditions in air-conditioned rooms require that temperature in the occupied zone should not vary by more than 1?C and velocity, every where in the room, should be less than 0.15 m/s so that occupants do not feel draft. Recent developments in providing effective insulation and making leak tight buildings are considerably reduced the cooling load requirements and the supply airflow rates. Obtaining uniform temperature distribution with reduced air volume flow rates requires careful design of air distribution system. This study aims to find velocity and temperature distribution in the room towards this end.

Taking account of the marine gas turbine operation features, the author has chosen the hot corrosion peak temperature of materials as the guide vane material limiting temperature while evaluating the overall temperature distribution factor. Along with the blade cooling effectiveness a safety margin factor has been introduced during its evaluation. The gas temperature distribution along blade height is assumed to satisfy the condition that approximately equal safety factor in respect of strength prevails along blade height. Once the gas radial temperature profile becomes known, the radial temperature distribution factor can be readily determined.

Conical friction surface is a novel configuration for friction plate in transmission. Numerical FEA models for transient heat transfer and distribution of conically grooved friction plate have been established to investigate the thermal behavior of the conical surface with different configurations. The finite element method is used to obtain the numerical solution, the temperature test data of conical surface are obtained by the friction test rig. In order to study and compare the temperature behavior of conically grooved friction plate, several three-dimensional transient temperature models are established. The heat generated on the friction interface during the continuous sliding process is calculated. Two different pressure conditions were defined to evaluate the influence of different load conditions on temperature rise and the effects of conical configuration parameters on surface temperature distribution are investigated. The results show that the radial temperature gradient on conical friction surface is obvious. The uniform pressure condition could be used when evaluating the temperature rise of conically grooved friction plate. The increase of the cone height could improve the radial temperature gradient of the conically grooved friction plate.

Accurate and efficient modeling of convective heat transfer coefficient (CHTC) by considering the detailed room geometry and heat flux density in building is demanding for economy, environmental amiability, and user satisfaction. We report the three-dimensional finite-volume numerical simulation of internal room flow field characteristics with heated walls. Two different room geometries are chosen to determine the CHTC and temperature distribution. The conservation equations (elliptic partial differential) for the incompressible fluid flows are numerically solved using iterative method with no-slip boundary conditions to compute velocity components, pressure, temperature, turbulent kinetic energy, and dissipation rate. A line-by-line solution technique combined with a tri-diagonal matrix algorithm (TDMA) is used. The temperature field is simulated for various combinations of air-change per hour and geometrical parameters. The values of HTCs are found to enhance with increasing wall temperatures.

The SEED (Swirled Enthalpy Equilibrium Device) process was used to produce semi-solid slurries. One of the factors that controls whether or not a slug can be used to produce high quality castings is the solid fraction distribution within the slug, and the solid fraction distribution is strongly dependent upon the temperature distribution. In this study, a model has been developed using ProCAST to investigate the relationship between process parameters and the temperature distribution within slugs. The parameters examined included the heat transfer coefficient between the crucible and slug, the heat transfer coefficient between the crucible and air, the slug diameter, and the initial melt temperature (pouring temperature). It was found that the most important parameters controlling the temperature distribution within slugs were the crucible size and the heat transfer coefficient between crucible and air. Adjustment of other parameters had little influence on the temperature distribution. Processing parameters will be discussed in order to allow the SEED process to be used for the production of large diameter slugs (>100 mm), and for narrow freezing range (0.3<fs<0.5, fs is fraction solid) alloys such as 6063.

The nonuniform abrasion failure and high-temperature thermal failure of packing rings have a significant influence on compressor reliability, particularly that of oil-free compressors. In this study, a test rig was constructed to measure the dynamic temperature of packing rings under different operational conditions in an oil-free reciprocating compressor. The dynamic axial and radial temperature distributions of the packing rings were obtained using an innovative internal temperature testing device that kept the thermocouples and packing box relatively static during compressor operation. A three-dimensional heat transfer model was also developed to analyze the temperature distribution of the packing boxes, piston rod, and cylinder during such operation. Good agreement was observed between the simulation results and experimental data, which showed an average relative error of less than 2.35%. The results indicate that the pressure ratio exerts a significant effect on the axial temperature distribution and determines which packing ring reaches the maximum temperature. They also show the average temperature to rise with an increase in the rotational speed and to fall with an improvement in the external cooling conditions. Finally, the material of the packing rings was found to affect the temperature gradient from their inner to outer surface.
