Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) is a technology used for fast consolidation of metallic, ceramic, and composite powders. The upscaling of this technology requires a reduction in energy consumption and homogenization of temperature in compacts. The application of Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Carbon (CFRC) insulating plates between the sintering setup and the electrodes is frequently considered as a measure to attain these goals. However, the efficiency of such a practice remains largely unexplored so far. In the present paper, the impact of CFRC plates on required power, total sintering energy, and temperature distribution was investigated by experiments and by Finite Element Modeling (FEM). The study was performed at a temperature of 1000 °C with a graphite dummy mimicking an SPS setup. A rather moderate influence of CFRC plates on power and energy demand was found. Furthermore, the cooling stage becomes considerably longer. However, the application of CFRC plates leads to a significant reduction in the axial temperature gradient. The comparative analysis of experimental and modeling results showed the good capability of the FEM method for prediction of temperature distribution and required electric current. However, a discrepancy between measured and calculated voltage and power was found. This issue must be further investigated, considering the influence of AC harmonics in the DC field.

Computational study of the moderator flow in calandria vessel of a heavy water reactor is carried out for three different inlet nozzle configurations. For the computations, PHOENICS CFD code is used. The flow and temperature distribution for all the configurations are determined. The impact of moderator inlet jets on adjacent calandria tubes is studied. Based on these studies, it is found that the inlet nozzles can be designed in such a way that it can keep the impact velocity on calandria tubes within limit while keeping maximum moderator temperature well below its boiling limit.

Abstract This paper evaluates a static heating system from a church. They are presented in almost every church. Temperature distribution in the church is done in 2d plane. The simulation is presented on a particular example, the Dormition of the Mother of God Church from Jassy, Romania. The heating system had been simulated in FLUENT and the consequences over the interior climate in the church are showed. An important issue is the impact of this system over the artwork, the church being rise in XVIII century.

Selective Laser Melting (SLM) process is a Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) technique, which has shown significantly growth in the recent years. The demand for this process is justified by the versatility and ease in manufacturing the parts from 3D models as well for the increased complexity of engineered parts generated from topology or shape optimization. Automotive, aerospace, medical and aviation industries are taking great advantage of this process due the unique geometry characteristics found in the components. To enhance the benefits of SLM, a vital task is to analyze the laser power input impact on the temperature distribution through the powder bed, important for posterior residual stresses analysis. The Finite Element Method proposed in this study is a transient thermal model, able to predict temperature distribution through different sections of the powder bed when performing a single track of the laser scanning. Furthermore, the impact of the laser power input is carried out utilizing SS 304L, a low cost Stainless Steel alloy that can be employed in the SLM process, in order to determine the influence on the temperature distribution along the different cross sections.

The impact of micro porous layer (MPL) with various thicknesses of polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) on heat and mass transfer characteristics, as well as power generation performance of Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell (PEFC), is investigated. The in-plane temperature distribution on cathode separator back is also measured by thermocamera. It has been found that the power generation performance is improved by the addition of MPL, especially at higher current density condition irrespective of initial temperature of cell (Tini) and relative humidity condition. However, the improvement is not obvious when the thin PEM (Nafion NRE-211; thickness of 25 μm) is used. The increase in temperature from inlet to outlet without MPL is large compared to that with MPL when using thick PEM, while the difference between without MPL and with MPL is small when using thin PEM. It has been confirmed that the addition of MPL is effective for the improvement of power generation performance of single PEFC operated at higher temperatures than normal. However, the in-plane temperature distribution with MPL is not even.

Accurate simulation about the grinding temperature distribution helps to decrease the thermal damage and microcracks during the grinding process. In this article, the grinding heat transfer process of form grinding was analyzed and a temperature distribution model was derived in form grinding of 9Mn2V thread gauge. Considering the characteristics of form grinding, the temperature rise of the intersection region can be affected by two kinds of heat sources, and the impact between the two heat sources has been investigated. Also, the influence of the grinding depth on the temperature rise was analyzed. Depending on the analysis, an improved heat partition model has been derived, which is based on single-grain energy partition model. A series of experiments were carried out to investigate the grinding performance of 9Mn2V. The grinding force was obtained, the specific grinding energy was discussed, and the experimental temperature was measured by infrared imager. It is shown that the experiment results correspond well to the theoretical temperature calculated by the prediction model. This temperature model can be used to optimize the grinding conditions and the critical depth in form grinding of 9Mn2V thread gauge.
