LNG-FSRU (Liquefied Natural Gas-Floating Storage and Regasification Unit) can adopt the structure of double-row cargo tanks. Meanwhile, its heat maintenance system has the characteristics of the special structure, the large temperature difference between inside and outside and the complicated heat transfer process. Aiming at this particular structural form and considering the hull structure and some effect of convection in cavity, this paper establishes the mathematical model and utilizes the finite element method to conduct the deep analysis of ultra-low temperature field in order to obtain its temperature distribution in the ultra-low temperature field. Moreover, the results indicate that the temperature distribution of the double-row-tank structure is linear from the inside out with the relatively uniform overall distribution; the temperature difference above and below the waterline has affects the temperature distribution of the inner shells; the temperature of the middle longitudinal cofferdam zone is relatively lower than that of other areas.

Heterogeneous integration in microelectronic systems using interposer technology has attracted significant research attention in the past few years. Interposer technology is based on stacking of several heterogeneous chips on a common carrier substrate, also referred to as the interposer. Compared to other technologies such as System-on-Chip (SoC) or System-in-Package (SiP), interposer-based integration offers several technological advantages. However, the thermal management of an interposer-based system is not well understood. The presence of multiple heat sources in various die and the interposer itself needs to be accounted for in any effective thermal model. While a finite-element based simulation may provide a reasonable temperature prediction tool, an analytical solution is highly desirable for understanding the fundamentals of the heat transfer process in interposers. In this paper, we describe our recent work on analytical modeling of heat transfer in interposer-based microelectronic systems. The basic governing energy conservation equations are solved to derive analytical expressions for the temperature distribution in an interposer-based microelectronic system. These solutions are combined with an iterative approach to provide the three-dimensional temperature field in an interposer. Results are in excellent agreement with finite-element solutions. The analytical model is utilized to study the effect of various parameters on the temperature field in an interposer system. Results from this work may be helpful in the thermal design of microelectronic systems containing interposers.

The temperature distribution of the cyclone was analyzed in the presented work, which was imitated by using RSM turbulence model of software FLUENT. Temperature difference in different regions is less than one centigrade degree with the maximum temperature in the cone part and the minimum temperature in inlet tube and cylinder part of the cyclone, what’s more, the temperature is relatively higher near the wall. The air compression can lead the higher temperature in the lower part, so the cone part has the maximum temperature. The higher temperature near the wall is caused by the friction between the wall and flow.

AbstractWe present a mathematical model for determining the temperature field around radioactive waste containers in very deep geological boreholes. The model is first used to predict the temperature rise for some simple, but well-established cases with known solutions in order to verify the numerical work. The temperature distribution is then determined for two variants of the deep bore hole concept; a low temperature variant and a high temperature variant. The results from these studies are discussed in terms of their utility in establishing deep borehole disposal as a workable concept.

Radiant floor heating as a new type of energy-saving heating method has more and more used in modern building heating project. According to the different heat source, radiant floor heating is divided into low temperature hot-water floor radiant heating and electrical floor radiant heating. This paper analyzes the heat transfer process of structure layer of the low temperature hot-water and electrical floor radiant heating system, establishes two dimensional steady heat transfer mathematic model, numerical calculation using Fluent software. Respectively simulated when floor materials is different, the heat transfer process of low temperature hot-water floor radiant heating and electrical floor radiant heating system, The analysis results show that: for low temperature hot-water floor radiant heating, when floor material is soft wood, the ground temperature distribution is more uniform; for electrical floor radiant heating, when floor materials is marble, the ground temperature distribution is more uniform; electrical floor radiant heating is more energy saving, and temperature distribution in the ground of floor using the constant heat flux electric heating mode is more uniform than which using the low temperature hot water heating mode.

Considerable cold energy embodied in liquefied natural gas (LNG) can be recycled in LNG regasification, which can not only save energy but also avoid cold pollution within the low-temperature fluid emission. Review on both domestic and overseas is conducted on the recycling of LNG cold energy in different applications. Against the single purpose utilization of LNG cold energy with a large amount of energy loss, the cascade recycling strategy is proposed for highly-efficient utilization of LNG cold energy. Based on the defined cold exergy efficiency, the exergy analysis is performed for some different recycling applications of LNG cold energy. The system exergy rate method is used to compare the superiority of modes in which the LNG is converted into NG under normal temperature. The results show that the exergy efficiency of a LNG cold energy cascade recycling system is higher than that of a single utilization system. Apart from the improved efficiency, the cascade recycling strategy can expand the applicable temperature range of LNG cold energy compared with the single utilization. Finally, the entropy and entransy for evaluating the LNG cold energy transport process are compared and discussed, from which it is indicated that entransy is more appropriate for the heat transfer process with low-temperature or large temperature difference, as is the case for LNG cold energy recycling.

Pressurizer surge line is one of the key equipments of nuclear power plants. The thermal stratification due to the intersection of hot and cold fluids inside the pressurizer surge line may affect the safe operation of nuclear power plant. In order to investigate the stress distribution and fatigue characteristics of surge line subjected to long-term thermal stratified loadings, a mechanical model of the surge line was established. And then, according to different temperature distribution assumptions, thermal stress analysis and fatigue assessment were conducted. The results show that the maximum stress appears under the load condition with maximum temperature difference, and finer temperature distribution can obtain more accurate stress and displacement results. The maximum value of fatigue cumulative coefficient appears at the junction of straight pipe and elbow with large temperature difference.

This paper mainly focuses on the numerical simulation of temperature field in the cyclone separation. The authors took advantage of RSM turbulence model of software FLUENT to imitate the temperature field. This thesis puts forward the temperature distribution of the cyclone, and figures out that the overall temperature is 373°C. Temperature difference in different region is less than one centigrade degree with the maximum temperature in the cone part and the minimum temperature in inlet tube and cylinder part of the cyclone, what’s more, the temperature is relatively higher near the wall. The air compression can lead the higher temperature in the lower part, so the cone part has the highest temperature. The higher temperature near the wall is caused by the friction between the wall and flow.
