Heat transfer behavior of AZ80-1%Y alloy during low-frequency electromagnetic casting

Heat transfer behaviors of AZ80?1%Y alloy during low frequency electromagnetic casting (LFEC) and direct chilling casting were studied by in-situ temperature measurement. The results demonstrated that the low frequency electromagnetic field (EM) caused forced convection in the melt during LFEC. The forced convection led to uniform solidification velocity and temperature field. EM frequency, excitation current intensity and casting temperature could control the heat transfer behavior. The forced convection could improve the microstructure and degrade the difference in microstructure between the edge and center of billet. Appropriate parameters of low frequency EM for casting Mg alloy are 20 Hz of frequency and 60 A of electric current intensity.

A study of metal/die interfacial heat transfer behavior of vacuum die cast pure copper

High pressure die casting copper is used to produce rotors for induction motors to improve efficiency.Experiments were carried out for a special"step-shape"casting with different step thicknesses.Based on the measured temperature inside the die,the interfacial heat transfer coefficient(IHTC)at the metal/die interface during vacuum die casting was evaluated by solving the inverse problem.The IHTC peak value was 4.5×10^3-11×10^3 W·m^-2·K^-1 under the basic operation condition.The influences of casting pressure,fast shot speed,pouring temperature and initial die surface temperature on the IHTC peak values were investigated.Results show that a greater casting pressure and faster shot speed could only increase the IHTC peak values at the location close to the ingate.An increase of pouring temperature and/or initial die surface temperature significantly increases the IHTC peak values.

Interfacial heat transfer behavior at metal/die in finger-plated casting during high pressure die casting process

Heat transfer at the metal-die interface has a great influence on the solidification process and casting structure. As thin-wall components are extensively produced by high pressure die casting process(HPDC), the B390 alloy finger-plate casting was cast against an H13 steel die on a cold-chamber HPDC machine. The interfacial heat transfer behavior at different positions of the die was carefully studied using an inverse approach based on the temperature measurements inside the die. Furthermore, the filling process and the solidification rate in different finger-plates were also given to explain the distribution of interfacial heat flux(q) and interfacial heat transfer coefficient(h). Measurement results at the side of sprue indicates that qmax and hmax could reach 9.2 MW·m^(-2) and 64.3 kW ·m^(-2)·K^(-1), respectively. The simulation of melt flow in the die reveals that the thinnest(T_1) finger plate could accelerate the melt flow from 50 m·s^(-1) to 110 m·s^(-1). Due to this high velocity, the interfacial heat flux at the end of T_1 could firstly reach a highest value 7.92 MW·m^(-2) among the ends of T_n(n=2,3,4,5). In addition, the q_(max) and h_(max) values of T_2, T_4 and T_5 finger-plates increase with the increasing thickness of the finger plate. Finally, at the rapid decreasing stage of interfacial heat transfer coefficient(h), the decreasing rate of h has an exponential relationship with the increasing rate of solid fraction(f).

Experimental Analysis of Heat Transfer Behavior inside Heat Pipe Integrated with Cooling Plates

This work used experimental methods to study heat transfer behavior inside a heat pipe and found that heat transfer behavior inside the heat pipe was changed due to its integration with cooling plates. This change caused the heat pipe to have copper-like heat transfer behavior. Experimental performances first built a CPU simulator with maximum heat power 300 W in accordance with the ASTM standard as heat source and measured temperature distribution by using infrared thermography and thermocouple thermometer. Observation of heat transfer behavior inside heat pipe influenced by its integration with cooling plates used color schlieren technique. A commercial CPU heat pipe cooler was also used as reference object in this work. Integration of the heat pipe with cooling plates causes the heat pipe to have the copper-like heat transfer behavior. The results indicate that rebuilding the bare heat pipe’s heat transfer behavior is the best solution for improving cooling efficiency of the heat pipe cooler.

Determination of Interfacial Heat Transfer Behavior at the Metal/Shot Sleeve of High Pressure Die Casting Process of AZ91D Alloy

The interfacial heat transfer behavior at the metalJshot sleeve interface in the high pressure die casting （HPDC） process of AZ91D alloy is carefully investigated. Based on the temperature measurements along the shot sleeve, inverse method has been developed to determine the interfacial heat transfer coefficient in the shot sleeve. Under static condition, Interracial heat transfer coefficient （IHTC） peak values are 11.9, 7,3, 8.33kWm-2K-1 at pouring zone （S2）, middle zone （S5）, and end zone （510）, respectively. During the casting process, the IHTC curve displays a second peak of 6.1 kWm-2 K-1 at middle zone during the casting process at a slow speed of 0.3 ms 1 Subsequently, when the high speed started, the IHTC curve reached a second peal〈 of 12.9 kW m-2K-1 at end zone. Furthermore, under different slow casting speeds, both the calculated initial temperature （TIDs） and the maximum temperature （Tsimax） of shot sleeve surface first decrease from 0.1 ms-1 to 0.3 ms-1, but increase again from 0.3 ms-1 to 0.6 ms-1. This result agrees with the experimental results obtained in a series of ＂plate-shape＂ casting experiments under different slow speeds, which reveals that the amount of ESCs decreases to the minimum values at 0.3 m s-1 and increase again with the increasing casting slow speed.

Effect of different processing parameters on interfacial heat-transfer behavior in high-pressure die-casting process

Vacuum die casting can reduce the'air entrapment'phenomenon during casting process.Based on the temperature measurements at metal-die interface with different processing parameters,such as slow shot speed(VL),high shot speed(VH),pouring temperature(Tp)and initial die temperature(Tm),inverse method was developed to determine the interfacial heat transfer coefficient(IHTC).The results indicate that a closer contact between the casting and die could be achieved when the vacuum system is used.It is found that the vacuum could strongly increase the values of IHTC and decrease the grain size in castings.The IHTC could have a higher peak value with increasing the Tp from680to720℃or the VL from0.1to0.4m/s.In addition,the influence of the VH and Tm on IHTC could be negligible.

Development and application of inverse heat transfer model between liquid metal and shot sleeve in high pressure die casting process under non-shooting condition

To predict the heat transfer behavior of A380 alloy in a shot sleeve, a numerical approach(inverse method) is used and validated by high pressure die casting(HPDC) experiment under non-shooting condition. The maximum difference between the measured and calculated temperature profiles is smaller than 3 °C, which suggests that the inverse method can be used to predict the heat transfer behavior of alloys in a shot sleeve. Furthermore, the results indicate an increase in maximum interfacial heat flux density(q_(max)) and heat transfer coefficient(h_(max)) with an increase in sleeve filling ratio, especially at the pouring zone(S2 zone). In addition, the values of initial temperature(T_(IDS)) and maximum shot sleeve surface temperature(T_(simax)) at the two end zones(S2 and S10) are higher than those at the middle zone(S5). Moreover, in comparison with fluctuations in heat transfer coefficient(h) with time at the two end zones(S2 and S10), 2.4-6.5 kW ·m^(-2)·K^(-1), 3.5-12.5 kW ·m^(-2)·K^(-1), respectively, more fluctuations are found at S5 zone, 2.1-14.7 kW ·m^(-2)·K^(-1). These differences could theoretically explain the formation of the three zones: smooth pouring zone, un-smooth middle zone and smooth zone, with different morphologies in the metal log under the non-shot casting condition. Finally, our calculations also reveal that the values of q_(max) and h_(max) cast at 680 °C are smaller than those cast at 660 °C and at 700 °C.

Evolution of interfacial heat transfer,contact behavior and microstructure during sub-rapid solidification of molten steel with different hydrogen contents

Typical Q235 low-carbon steel samples with different hydrogen contents(0.0004,0.0008,and 0.0013 wt.%)were prepared by adjusting the environment humidity and moisture.The effects of hydrogen on interfacial heat transfer,contact behavior,and microstructure evolution were investigated using a novel droplet solidification technique.The results revealed that when the hydrogen content increases from 0.0004 to 0.0013 wt.%,the maximum heat flux between the molten steel and cooling substrate decreases from 8.01 to 6.19 MW/m^(2),and the total heat removed in the initial 2 s reduces from 10.30 to 8.27 MJ/m^(2).Moreover,the final contact angle between the molten steel and substrate increases from 103.741°to 113.697°,and the number of pores on the droplet bottom surface increases significantly from 21 to 210 with the increase in hydrogen.The surface roughness of the droplet bottom surface increases from 20.902 to 49.181 pm.In addition,the average grain size of the droplet increases from 14.778 to 33.548 pm with the increase in the hydrogen content.The interfacial contact condition becomes worse due to the escape of hydrogen from the steel matrix during the cooling process,which leads to the reduction in the interfacial heat transfer and the increase in the grain size.

Experimental investigation of surface roughness effects on flow behavior and heat transfer characteristics for circular microchannels

This paper experimentally investigates the effect of surface roughness on flow and heat transfer characteristics in circular microchannels. All test pieces include 44 identical, parallel circular microchannels with diameters of 0.4 mm and 10 mm in length. The surface roughness of the microchannels is R= 0.86, 0.92, 1.02 lm, and the Reynolds number ranges from 150 to 2800.Results show that the surface roughness of the circular microchannels has remarkable effects on the performance of flow behavior and heat transfer. It is found that the Poiseuille and Nusselt numbers are higher when the relative surface roughness is larger. For flow behavior, the friction factor increases consistently with the increasing Reynolds number, and it is larger than the constant theoretical value for macrochannels. The Reynolds number for the transition from laminar to turbulent flow is about 1500, which is lower than the value for macrochannels. For the heat transfer property, Nusselt number also increases with increasing Reynolds number, and larger roughness contributes to higher Nusselt number.

黏土岩温度-渗流-应力耦合特性试验与本构模型研究进展

竖直U型地埋管传热性能数值模拟

对土壤源热泵系统在制冷季中垂直U型地埋管的传热性能进行数值模拟,揭示U型管入口水温、入口流速和回填材料导热系数对地埋管传热性能的影响规律.计算结果表明：在30～60°C的入口温度范围内,当雷诺数从3 000提高到11 000时,会使地埋管热流量增大10～23W,但会导致流体进出口温差降低0.2～1.34°C,在工程应用中流体进口流速要控制在一定范围内.水的入口温度和雷诺数分别为45°C和7 000时,回填材料导热系数从0.5 W/m·K增大至2.5 W/m·K,U型地埋管的热流量增大了将近2倍,也就是说在工程应用中,如果在回填土中掺混一定比例的保水材料将会增强埋管换热,并防止埋管长期运行时由于土壤本身保水性差使得土壤板结从而导致埋管失效.模拟结果与实验数据进行对比吻合较好.
