In deep mines, two urgent problems are a high temperature thermal environment and solid waste. Filling the goaf with slurry mixed with ice grains is an effective way to solve these two problems simultaneously. The thermal property and mechanical property of the ice-added backfill have a great influence on the cooling effect in the deep mine. In this study, an experimental facility for measuring the temperature distribution of ice-added backfill slurry was established, and the temperature of backfill slurry with different proportions was measured. Then, the thermal properties of temperature distribution and cooling capacity and the mechanical property of uniaxial compressive strength of the backfill specimens were analyzed, and the results indicated the following: firstly, the cooling capacity of ice-added backfill specimens is negatively related with the slurry concentration C and is positively related with the ice-water ratio Ω; secondly, the strength of backfill specimens is affected by the slurry concentration C and ice-water ratio Ω by a contrary law compared to the cooling capacity; thirdly, ice-added backfill slurry with an ice-water ratio Ω of 1:1 has the best mechanical property after solidification. The effects of the slurry concentration and ice-water ratio on the thermal and mechanical properties were analyzed, and the results indicated that the optimum proportion of ice-added backfill slurry is a slurry concentration of 74% and an ice-water ratio of 1:1 in the present research range. This study is significant for the deep mine cooling method with ice-added backfill.

To reduce the risk of high-temperature geothermal environment in deep mine exploitation, an innovative method for cooling stopes by backfill slurry with ice particles has been focused on. In this paper, aiming at the cooling effect of backfill slurry with ice particles, an experimental device including stope region and ice-filled filling slurry region was established for temperature measurement experimental simulation study. The results showed the ice-filled slurry had a significant cooling effect on the stope region. Orthogonal design experiment and range analysis methods were applied for studying the influencing regularities of four factors, including boundary heat flux, ice-water ratio, sand-cement ratio, and slurry concentration. The effective cooling heat coefficient which is defined by radiation heat flux and boundary heat flux of surrounding rock was applied as an evaluation index for scheme optimization. The influencing rank of the four factors is boundary heat flux >sand-cement ratio >ice-water ratio >slurry concentration. By comprehensive analysis, the optimization of mixture ratio was obtained: the boundary heat flux of the simulated surrounding rocks is 111 W/m2, the ratio of ice to water is 8 : 5, the ratio of sand to cement is 4 : 1, and the slurry concentration is 64%.

The selection of twin variants has a great influence on deformation texture and mechanical property in hcp metals where slip systems are limited and twinning types are abundant during deformation. Local strain accommodations among twin variants are considered to shed light on variant selection rules in Ti and Mg alloys. Five kinds of strain accommodations are discussed in terms of different regions that are affected by the twinning shear of primary twin. These regions contain (I) the whole sample, (II) neighboring grain, (III) adjacent primary twin in neighboring grain, (IV) adjoining primary twin within the same parent grain, and (V) multi-generation of twinning inside the primary twin. For a potentially active variant, its operation needs not only relatively higher resolved shear stress but also easily accommodated strain by immediate vicinity. Many of the non-Schmid behaviors could be elucidated by local strain accommodations that variants with relatively higher SFs hard to be accommodated are absent, while those with relatively lower SFs but could be easily accommodated are present.

Of all the processing stages for wafers, interior temperature distribution in thermal treatment furnaces has a great influence on wafer properties. Therefore, internal temperature distribution is a key factor for operating a furnace. However, it is practically impossible to directly measure temperatures within the furnace, and consequently the need for a reliable numerical model to analyze temperature distribution is becoming increasingly urgent. Exact modeling of the processing is very difficult because the structure of the furnace used for thermal treatment is very complex, with large numbers of Si wafers stacked within. Therefore, simplified modeling is necessary. The modeling strategy of the present study is to reduce the radiation calculation domain and simplify the model by replacing the wafer stack region with a single block. It is necessary to determine the vertical and horizontal effective thermal conductivities of the block to reflect radiation heat transfer between wafers. In this study, calculations were performed through numerical experimentation, using r k as the heat transfer coefficient in the direction of the radius, and v k for the vertical direction. Using these calculated property values, the temperature distribution within a 300mm thermal treatment furnace can be obtained.

The design and construction of a cold production system from the ice water submitted by a mechanical direct expansion system contributing to the development of knowledge in the area of air conditioning were carried out. Among the technical design parameters, a direct expansion system with cooling capacity of 9000 BTU/Hrs, R134 refrigerant gas to a turbine for the work of the Fan Coil of ½ Hp of force 220 V was selected, as was the fan motor of the cooling tower as fundamental means for heat transfer. The recirculation pumping system is carried out by pumps of 0.37 kW of power and a maximum flow of 40 l/min. For both the evaporator sump (cold) and the condenser sump (hot). The work stage is given in two independent circuits, the Fan Coil system is connected to the evaporator sump and the cooling tower, in turn, is connected to the condensation system for proper operation and achieve condensation temperatures of 35 ° C and in case of having water requirements in the cold sump, the tower is connected by means of an electromagnetic valve for its supply.

In this study, the authors evaluated clothing insulation and changes in the metabolic rate of individuals in an office environment to determine thermal comfort. Clothing was evaluated using a questionnaire completed by 1306 workers in nine offices. The metabolic rates of 86 workers in three offices were measured using a physical activity meter. The distribution of the temperature at which a person in the room perceived a neutral thermal sensation was then calculated from the determined metabolic rates and clothing insulation values. The results demonstrate a noticeable difference between the average and most frequent values during the summer. Moreover, the required temperature distribution is not normal; rather, it is broad and skewed to the low-temperature side. Therefore, even if a thermally uniform environment is provided at the average required temperature by preventing temporal and spatial variations in the thermal environment, complaints of an unacceptably hot thermal environment are more likely to occur than complaints of an excessively cold thermal environment.

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to determine the effect of ventilation openings and fire intensity on heat transfer and fluid flow within the microclimate between 3D human body and clothing.Design/methodology/approachOn account of interaction effects of fire and ventilation openings on heat transfer process, a 3D transient computational fluid dynamics model considering the real shape of human body and clothing was developed. The model was validated by comparing heat flux history and distribution with experimental results. Heat transfer modes and fluid flow were investigated under three levels of fire intensity for the microclimate with ventilation openings and closures.FindingsTemperature distribution on skin surface with open microclimate was heavily depended on the heat transfer through ventilation openings. Higher temperature for the clothing with confined microclimate was affected by the position and direction of flames injection. The presence of openings contributed to the greater velocity at forearms, shanks and around neck, which enhanced the convective heat transfer within microclimate. Thermal radiation was the dominant heat transfer mode within the microclimate for garment with closures. On the contrary, convective heat transfer within microclimate for clothing with openings cannot be neglected.Practical implicationsThe findings provided fundamental supports for the ease and pattern design of the improved thermal protective systems, so as to realize the optimal thermal insulation of the microclimate on the garment level in the future.Originality/valueThe outcomes broaden the insights of results obtained from the mesoscale models. Different high skin temperature distribution and heat transfer modes caused by thermal environment and clothing structure provide basis for advanced thermal protective clothing design.

Steady-state analysis of heat transfer in a base-load power generation gas turbine was conducted by thermal conjugation inside and outside of the first stage nozzle, which consists of thermal convection and conduction by coupling of fluid flow and solid body. A computer CFD code was used to solve the problem. The principal issues of the work were concerned with three-dimensional behaviors of the temperature distribution of the nozzle vane, which are influenced by inlet gas flow conditions, internal cooling conditions and film cooling conditions. The numerical results of the effects of cooling flow rate and temperature on heat transfer rates in the nozzle are also presented. The paper focuses on the estimation of the temperature distribution on the nozzle vane by prediction of the thermal environment around the nozzle vane and heat conduction in the nozzle which is necessary to carry out the nozzle thermal load analysis and finally life assessment. Also, the evaluation of service induced degradation of cobalt base alloy FSX-414 of the nozzle, after 24000 hours of operation at high temperature is presented. The assessment includes the nozzle carbides precipitation and grain type and size characterization.
