The thermal behavior of a canned motor also depends on the losses and the cooling capability, and these losses cause an increase in the temperature of the stator winding. This paper focuses on the modeling and simulation of the thermal fields of the large canned induction motor by different calculation methods of water friction loss. The values of water friction losses are set as heat sources in the corresponding clearance of water at different positions along the duct and are calculated by the analytical method, loss separation test method, and by assuming the values that may be larger than the experimental results and at zero. Based on Finite volume method (FVM), 3D turbulent flow and heat transfer equations of the canned motor are solve numerically to obtain the temperature distributions of different parts of the motor. The analysis results of water friction loss are compared with the measurements, obtained from the total losses using the loss separation method. The results show that the magnitude of water friction loss within various parts of the motor does not affect the position of peak temperature and the tendency of the temperature distribution of windings. This paper is highly significant for the design of cooling structures of electrical machines.

Conductive Thermal Field

A three-dimensional heat transfer model has been developed to obtain the conductive thermal field inside a brick-type solid under a moving heat source with different beam profiles. The problem in quasi-steady state has been approximated by neglecting the axial diffusion component; thus, for Peclet numbers greater than 5, the elliptic differential equation becomes a parabolic one along the motion direction. The dependence of the solution on the radiative and convective heat losses has been highlighted. Thermal fields are strongly dependent on different spot shapes and on the impinging jet; this situation allows control of the parameters involved in the technological process.

An algorithm for modelling of the heat transfer in storage halls at different combinations of open doors and smoke vents is developed. The models allow numerical simulations of velocity, pressure and temperature fields in the halls in cases of transient and steady state conditions, taking into account the indoor buoyancy, heat sources, heat transfer through the building envelopes and outdoor wind pressures. The models are solved numerically via finite volume method in order to estimate the necessity of additional heating at a design stage of a courier logistic storage hall, situated in the temperate climate zone, at the hardest winter conditions of the region. Recommendations about the organization of the heating and the cargo input are done based on the analyses of the fluid flow and thermal fields at the modelled scenarios.

The influence of utilizing different nanofluids types on the liquid cold plate (LCP) is numerically investigated. The thermal and fluid flow performance of LCP is examined by using pure ethylene glycol (EG), Al2O3-EG and CuO-EG. The volume fraction of the nanoparticle for both nanofluid is 2%. The finite volume method (FVM) has been used to solved 3-D steady state, laminar flow and heat transfer governing equations. The presented results indicate that Al2O3-EG able to provide the lowest surface temperature of the heater block followed by CuO-EG and EG, respectively. It is also found that the pressure drop and friction factor are higher for Al2O3-EG and CuO-EG compared to the pure EG.

Proposed Model

The conception of the comprehensive thermal error of servo axes is given. Thermal characteristics of a preloaded ball screw on a gantry milling machine is investigated, and the error and temperature data are obtained. The comprehensive thermal error is divided into two parts: thermal expansion error ((TEE) in the stroke range) and thermal drift error ((TDE) of origin). The thermal mechanism and thermal error variation of preloaded ball screw are expounded. Based on the generation, conduction, and convection theory of heat, the thermal field models of screw caused by friction of screw-nut pairs and bearing blocks are derived. The prediction for TEE is presented based on thermal fields of multiheat sources. Besides, the factors influencing TDE are analyzed, and the model of TDE is established based on the least square method. The predicted thermal field of the screw is analyzed. The simulation and experimental results indicate that high accuracy stability can be obtained using the proposed model. Moreover, high accuracy stability can still be achieved even if the moving state of servo axis changes randomly, the screw is preloaded, and the thermal deformation process is complex. Strong robustness of the model is verified.

This paper presents computations for natural convection within a porous cavity filled with a fluid saturated permeable medium. The finite volume method in a generalized coordinate system is applied. The walls are maintained at constant but different temperatures, while the horizontal walls are kept insulated. Governing equations are written in terms of primitive variables and are recast into a general form. Flow and heat transfer characteristics are investigated for two energy models and distinct solid-to-fluid thermal conductivity ratio.

AbstractThis paper deals with numerical investigation of a natural convective flow in a horizontal annular space between a heated square inner cylinder and a cold elliptical outer cylinder with a Newtonian fluid. Uniform temperatures are imposed along walls of the enclosure. The governing equations of the problem were solved numerically by the commercial code Fluent, based on the finite volume method and the Boussinesq approximation. The effects of Geometry Ratio GR and Rayleigh numbers on fluid flow and heat transfer performance are investigated. The Rayleigh number is varied from 103 to 106. Throughout the study the relevant results are presented in terms of isotherms, and streamlines. From the results, we found that the increase in the Geometry Ratio B leads to an increase of the heat transfer coefficient. The heat transfer rate in the annulus is translated in terms of the average Nusselt numbers along the enclosure’s sides. Tecplot 7 program was used to plot the curves which cleared these relations and isotherms and streamlines which illustrate the behavior of air through the channel and its variation with other parameters. The results for the streamlines, isotherms, local and average Nusselt numbers average Nusselt numbers are compared with previous works and show good agreement.

Abstract Directional motion plays a crucial role in various mechanical systems. Although mechanisms for nanoscale directional motion have been widely used in many aspects of nanotechnology, it remains a great challenge to generate continuous and controllable motion at the nanoscale. Herein we propose a nanoscale continuous directional motion in cyclic thermal fields by using a double-walled system which consists of an outer BN/C heterojunction nanotube and a concentric inner carbon nanotube (CNT). By manipulating the heating region of the outer BN/C heterojunction tube, the continuous motion of the inner CNT can be realized with ease. The inner CNT demonstrates three distinct movements due to the joint actions of the asymmetric thermal gradient forces and interlayer attraction forces caused by the presence of the outer BN/C heterojunction nanotube. The mechanism revealed in the present study may be useful in designing novel devices for energy conversion and directional transportation.

Present study focuses on numerical investigation of fully developed flow and heat transfer through three channels having sine-shaped, triangle-shaped, and arc-shaped wall profiles. All computations are performed at Reynolds number of 600. Finite volume method on collocated grid is used to solve the time-dependent Navier–Stokes and energy equations in primitive variable form. For all the geometries considered in the study, the ratios Hmin/Hmax and L/a are kept fixed to 0.4 and 8.0, respectively. The thermal performances of all the three wall configurations are assessed using integral parameters as well as instantaneous, time-averaged and fluctuating flow fields. The geometry with the sinusoidal-shaped wall profile is found to produce the best thermal properties as compared to the triangle-shaped and the arc-shaped profiles though the obtained heat transfer is the highest for the arc-shaped geometry.
