Thick-wall components of the thermal power unit limit maximum heating and cooling rates during start-up or shut-down of the unit. A method of monitoring the thermal stresses in thick-walled components of thermal power plants is presented. The time variations of the local heat transfer coefficient on the inner surface of the pressure component are determined based on the measurement of the wall temperature at one or six points respectively for one- and three-dimensional unsteady temperature fields in the component. The temperature sensors are located close to the internal surface of the component. A technique for measuring the fastchanging fluid temperature was developed. Thermal stresses in pressure components with complicated shapes can be computed using FEM (Finite Element Method) based on experimentally estimated fluid temperature and heat transfer coefficient

Using the basic principle of heat transfer, tribology and numerical simulation, a two-dimensional heat transfer model of the three-layer composite brake pair materials were established. The temperature fields of brake pairs during the process of friction were analyzed. Applied given heat loads at different time node on the brake pair model, the temperatures of different bicycle brake pairs were compared and analyzed. Results show that the improved surface structures of brake pair have positive effect on decreasing the temperature of contact areas than that of ordinary surface structure.

AbstractDirect numerical simulation (DNS) of an impinging jet flow with a nozzle-to-plate distance of two jet diameters and a Reynolds number of 10 000 is carried out at high spatial resolution using high-order numerical methods. The flow configuration is designed to enable the development of a fully turbulent regime with the appearance of a well-marked secondary maximum in the radial distribution of the mean heat transfer. The velocity and temperature statistics are validated with documented experiments. The DNS database is then analysed focusing on the role of unsteady processes to explain the spatial distribution of the heat transfer coefficient at the wall. A phenomenological scenario is proposed on the basis of instantaneous flow visualisations in order to explain the non-monotonic radial evolution of the Nusselt number in the stagnation region. This scenario is then assessed by analysing the wall temperature and the wall shear stress distributions and also through the use of conditional averaging of velocity and temperature fields. On one hand, the heat transfer is primarily driven by the large-scale toroidal primary and secondary vortices emitted periodically. On the other hand, these vortices are subjected to azimuthal distortions associated with the production of radially elongated structures at small scale. These distortions are responsible for the appearance of very high heat transfer zones organised as cold fluid spots on the heated wall. These cold spots are shaped by the radial structures through a filament propagation of the heat transfer. The analysis of probability density functions shows that these strong events are highly intermittent in time and space while contributing essentially to the secondary peak observed in the radial evolution of the Nusselt number.

Selective laser melting (SLM) is a modern method for producing objects with complex shape and fine structures in one working cycle from metal powders. Combination of the advanced technology of SLM with unique properties of Ti6Al4V alloy allows creating complex 3D objects for medicine or aerospace industry. Since properties of SLM parts depend on the geometrical characteristics of tracks and their cohesion, optical monitoring is actually used to for control the process. Temperature gradient determines the microstructure and mechanical properties of the SLM part, so studies about temperature fields are primarily important. On-line monitoring during laser scanning of Ti6Al4V alloy and formation of a single track in real-time with high-speed IR camera was studied. Numerical simulation allowed estimation the temperature distribution during processing. Conclusion regarding control system based on the online monitoring of deviations of the signal from IR camera during the SLM process was done.
