Lubricant spray application experiments were conducted for the die casting process. The heat flux was measured in situ using a differential thermopile sensor for three application techniques. First, the lubricant was applied under a constant flowrate while the nozzle was held in the same position. Second, the lubricant was applied in a pulsed, static manner, in which the nozzle was held over the same surface while it was turned on and off several times. Third, the lubricant was applied in a sweeping manner, in which the nozzle was moved along the die surface while it was held open. The experiments were conducted at several die temperatures and at sweep speeds of 20, 23, and 68 cm/s. The heat flux data, which were obtained with a sensor that was located in the centre of the test plate, were presented and discussed. The sensor can be used to evaluate lubricants, monitor the consistency of die lubrication process, and obtain useful process data, such as surface temperature, heat flux, and heat transfer coefficients. The heat removed from the die surface during lubricant application is necessary for (a) designing the cooling channels in the die, i.e. their size and placement, and (b) performing accurate numerical simulations of the die casting process.

A light-weight oceanic thermal gradient probe was used for heat flow studies in Bras d'Or Lake, Nova Scotia. The measurements were made in St. Andrew's Channel, an elongated trough 270 m deep and 540 m wide. The heat flux of 1.50 μcal/cm2 s (63 mW/m2) is corrected for sedimentation, conductivity contrast, topography, and surface temperature differences.

The scope of this work was to develop a technique based on the regression method and apply it on a real cooled geometry for measuring its internal heat transfer distribution. The proposed methodology is based upon an already available literature approach. For implementation of the methodology, the geometry is initially heated to a known steady temperature, followed by thermal transient, induced by injection of ambient air to its internal cooling system. During the thermal transient, external surface temperature of the geometry is recorded with the help of infrared camera. Then, a numerical procedure based upon a series of transient finite element analyses of the geometry is applied by using the obtained experimental data. The total test duration is divided into time steps, during which the heat flux on the internal surface is iteratively updated to target the measured external surface temperature. The final procured heat flux and internal surface temperature data of each time step is used to find the convective heat transfer coefficient via linear regression. This methodology is successfully implemented on three geometries: a circular duct, a blade with U-bend internal channel, and a cooled high pressure vane of real engine, with the help of a test rig developed at the University of Florence, Italy. The results are compared with the ones retrieved with similar approach available in the open literature, and the pros and cons of both methodologies are discussed in detail for each geometry.

High-output diesel engine heat transfer measurements are presented in this paper, which is the first of a two-part series of papers. Local piston heat transfer, based on fast-response piston surface temperature data, is compared to global engine heat transfer based on thermodynamic data. A single-cylinder research engine was operated at multiple conditions, including very high-output cases – 30 bar IMEPg and 250 bar in-cylinder pressure. A wireless telemetry system was used to acquire fast-response piston surface temperature data, from which heat flux was calculated. An interpolation and averaging procedure was developed and a method to recover the steady-state portion of the heat flux based on the in-cylinder thermodynamic state was applied. The local measurements were spatially integrated to find total heat transfer, which was found to agree well with the global thermodynamic measurements. A delayed onset of the rise of spatially averaged heat flux was observed for later start of injection timings. The dataset is internally consistent, for example, the local measurements match the global values, which makes it well suited for heat transfer correlation development; this development is pursued in the second part of this paper.

This paper investigates the effects of gear geometry, rotational speed and applied load, as well as lubrication conditions on surface temperature of high-speed gear teeth. The analytical approach and procedure for estimating frictional heat flux and heat transfer coefficients of gear teeth in high-speed operational conditions was developed and accounts for the effect of oil mist as a cooling medium. Numerical simulations of tooth temperature based on finite element analysis were established to investigate temperature distributions and variations over a range of applied load and rotational speed, which compared well with experimental measurements. A sensitivity analysis of surface temperature to gear configuration, frictional heat flux, heat transfer coefficients, and oil and ambient temperatures was conducted and the major parameters influencing surface temperature were evaluated.

The laminar boundary layer equations for free convection over bodies of arbitrary shape (i.e., a three-term series expansion) and with arbitrary surface heat flux or surface temperature are solved in local Cartesian coordinates. Both two-dimensional bodies (e.g., horizontal cylinders) and axisymmetric bodies (e.g., spheres) with finite radii of curvature at their stagnation points are considered. A Blasius series expansion is applied to convert from partial to ordinary differential equations. An additional transformation removes the surface shape dependence and the surface heat flux or surface temperature dependence of the equations. A second-order-correct, finite-difference method is used to solve the resulting equations. Tables of results for low Prandtl numbers are presented, from which local Nusselt numbers can be computed.

Thermal flow tests were performed on steamed bamboo powder using capillaries that were processed under different conditions in order to investigate the effect of the die surface state on the fluidity of the woody powder. The capillaries were processed by wire-cut electric discharge machining, reaming or drilling, and the arithmetic average roughness (Ra) varied from 0.5 to 2.5 μm. The bamboo powder was first steamed at 200 °C for 20 min, and its particle size was then controlled using different mesh screens. The thermal flow temperature was set at 200 °C. The results indicated that the flow behavior improved with increasing particle size. For the capillaries processed by WEDM, the flow rate for samples with particle sizes of 75~150 and 150~300 μm decreased with increasing Ra. On the other hand, when reaming or drilling was used to process the capillaries, the flow rate was almost independent of Ra, regardless of the particle size.
