The equivalent radial thermal conductivity is adopted by statistical analysis regression approach through the combination of a large quantity of production data collected in practice and theoretical analyses. The effect of the number of coils on circulating flow gas is considered for calculating the convection heat transfer coefficient, The temperature within the coil is predicted with the developed model during the annealing cycle including heating process and cooling process. The good consistently between the predicted results and the experimental data has demonstrated that the mathematical model established and the parameters identified by this paper are scientifically feasible and the effective method of calculation for coil equivalent radial heat transfer coefficient and circulating gas flow has been identified successfully, which largely enhances the operability and feasibility of the mathematic- model. This model provides a theoretical basis and an effective means to conduct studies on the impact that foresaid factors may imposed on the steel coil's temperature field, to analyze the stress within coils, to realize online control and optimal production and to increase facilily output by increasing heating and cooling rates of coils without producing higher thermal stress.展开更多

In this work, the equivalent thermal conduction resistance of PCHE is studied. The influences of thermal convection resistance are analyzed. The results indicate that the equivalent thermal conduction resistance of PCHEs with unequal numbers of hot plates and cold plates are sensitive to the thermal convection resistance of hot side and cold side. Specifically, for case C which has unequal number of hot and cold channels, the maximum value of equivalent thermal conduction resistance can be 1.7-2.4 times the minimum value. The equivalent thermal conduction resistance is underestimated under the isothermal boundary. In addition, the non-uniformity of the lengths of all the heat flux lines determines the influence degree of thermal convection resistance on the equivalent thermal conduction resistance. For further investigation, Latin hypercube sampling method is adopted to generate a large number of design points for each PCHE configuration. Based on the sample data, mathematical correlations and artificial neural network(ANN) for prediction of equivalent thermal conduction resistance for each case are developed. The proposed correlations of equivalent thermal conduction resistance for each case have acceptable accuracy of prediction with a wide range covering general engineering applications. The ANN model can achieve much better prediction accuracy than the proposed correlations thus it is recommended in the cases that the prediction accuracy is considered as the priority need.展开更多

As both power and the number of pins in such packages increase, thermal conditions become more important. In this paper, the thermal resistance of CoF packages is studied using Ansys software to perform finite-element analysis. Because of circuit complexity, two equivalent methods-a length-weighted method and an image-recognition method--are proposed in place of an accurate model to get equivalent thermal conductivity of CoF package devices. In our experiments, the simulated value of thermal resistance based on the length-weighted method was 1.653 K/W, and the value based on the image-recognition method was 1.911 K/W. The real thermal resistance value of the CoF package device is 1.812 K/W. So the error between the real value measured by a tester and the simulated value based on the length-weighted method is 8.8%, and the error between the real value and the simulated value based on the image-recognition method is 5.5%. Hence, both methods can provide effective simulation results, and the image-recognition method is more accurate. In addition, we optimized the CoF package structure. From the simulation results, the drop in thermal resistance after the optimization is obvious.展开更多
