This ranges from slow cooling rates close to equilibrium up to rates above complete supersaturation and is covering seven orders of magnitude in cooling rate (0.0005 to 5000 K/s). The continuous cooling precipitation behaviour of 7049A alloy was recorded by combining different differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) techniques and microstructure analysis by SEM and Vickers hardness testing. The high alloyed, high strength and quench sensitive wrought aluminium alloy 7049A was investigated during quenching from solution annealing by conventional DSC in the cooling rate range of 0.0005 to 4 K/s. In this range at least two exothermal precipitation reactions were observed: a high temperature reaction in a narrow temperature interval of 450-430℃, and a low temperature reaction in a broad temperature interval down to about 200 ℃. Intensities of both reactions decreased with increasing cooling rate. Quenching from solution annealing with rates up to 1000 K/s was investigated by differential fast scanning calorimetry (DFSC) and the differential reheating method (DRM). A critical quenching rate to suppress all precipitation reactions of 100-300 K/s was been determined.展开更多

A computational code based on the SIMPLE-C algorithm is used for the solution of the system of the mass, momentum and energy transfer governing equations. Simulations are performed for height-to-width aspect ratios of the enclosure from 0.25 to 8, Rayleigh numbers based on the length of the heated and cooled walls from 10~2 to 10~7, and tilting angles of the enclosure from 0° to 75°. The existence of an optimal tilting angle is confirmed for any investigated configuration, at a location that increases as the Rayleigh number is decreased, and the height-to-width aspect ratio of the cavity are increased, unless the value of the Rayleigh number is that corresponding to the onset of convection or just higher. Dimensionless correlating equations are developed to predict the optimal tilting angle and the heat transfer performance of the enclosure.展开更多
