Heat transfer analysis of the forced air quenching with non-isothermal and non-uniform oxidation.

ABSTRACT: In this paper, the heat transfer characteristics of the forced air quenching with non-isothermal and non-uniform oxidation are investigated. By introducing the variations of interfacial temperature and oxygen partial pressure, a three-layered non-isothermal high-temperature oxidation kinetic model is developed, in which a discrete-time modeling method is employed to solve the problem of integration of the transient terms, and a special interfacial grid treatment is used for considering the growth of each oxide layer and updating of the thermal properties. Moreover, a parameter identification method using the multi-objective genetic algorithm is proposed for the inverse solution of the oxidation parabolic parameters based on the measured scale thicknesses in oxidation experiment. A case study of the forced air quenching of a Q235 disk is presented to validate the availability of the developed formulas. Then the interfacial heat transfer characteristics are analyzed, while the numerical solutions with and without oxidation are both performed for in-depth comparison. Results indicate that the active quenching region is mainly centralized in the vicinity of stagnation region. The radial variation regularity of the temperature difference across the total oxide layer is mainly determined by the thermal conductivity and the scale thickness. The existence of the oxide scale actually produces a certain thermal resistance during the quenching process and the effects of the oxide scale increases with the radial coordinate due to the interfacial temperature distribution. The results obtained can provide theoretical derivation for precise control of the internal phase transformation during the forced air quenching process.

Project description:Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) as an Additive Manufacturing (AM) method for Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has established a promising future for medical applications so far, however interlayer delamination as a failure mechanism for FFF implants has raised critical concerns. A one-dimensional (1D) heat transfer model (HTM) was developed to compute the layer and interlayer temperatures by considering the nature of 3D printing for FFF PEEK builds. The HTM was then coupled with a non-isothermal healing model to predict the interlayer strength through thickness of a FFF PEEK part. We then conducted a parametric study of the primary temperature effects of the FFF system, including the print bed, nozzle, and chamber temperatures, on layer healing. The heat transfer component of the model for the FFF PEEK layer healing assessment was validated separately. An idealized PEEK cube design (10x10x10 mm3) was used for model development and 3D printed in commercially available industrial and medical FFF machines. During the printing and cooling processes of FFF, thermal videos were recorded in both printers using a calibrated infrared camera. Thermal images were then processed to obtain time-dependent layer temperature profiles of FFF PEEK prints. Both the theoretical model and experiments confirmed that the upper layers in reference to the print bed exhibited higher temperatures, thus higher healing degrees than the lower layers. Increasing the print bed temperature increased the healing of the layers allowing more layers to heal 100%. The nozzle temperature showed the most significant effect on the layer healing, and under certain nozzle temperature, none of the layers healed adequately. Although environment temperature had less impact on the lower layers closer to the print bed, 100% healed layer number increased when the chamber temperature increased. The model predictions were in good agreement with the experimental data, particularly for the mid-part of FFF PEEK cubes printed in both FFF machines.

Project description:This article introduces an innovative approach to the investigation of the conductive-radiative heat transfer mechanism in expanded polystyrene (EPS) thermal insulation at negligible convection. Closed-cell EPS foam (bulk density 14-17 kg·m-3) in the form of panels (of thickness 0.02-0.18 m) was tested with 1-15 µm graphite microparticles (GMP) at two different industrial concentrations (up to 4.3% of the EPS mass). A heat flow meter (HFM) was found to be precise enough to observe all thermal effects under study: the dependence of the total thermal conductivity on thickness, density, and GMP content, as well as the thermal resistance relative gain. An alternative explanation of the total thermal conductivity "thickness effect" is proposed. The conductive-radiative components of the total thermal conductivity were separated, by comparing measured (with and without Al-foil) and simulated (i.e., calculated based on data reported in the literature) results. This helps to elucidate why a small addition of GMP (below 4.3%) forces such an evident drop in total thermal conductivity, down to 0.03 W·m-1·K-1. As proposed, a physical cause is related to the change in mechanism of the heat transfer by conduction and radiation. The main accomplishment is discovering that the change forced by GMP in the polymer matrix thermal conduction may dominate the radiation change. Hence, the matrix conduction component change is considered to be the major cause of the observed drop in total thermal conductivity of EPS insulation. At the microscopic level of the molecules or chains (e.g., in polymers), significant differences observed in the intensity of Raman spectra and in the glass transition temperature increase on differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) thermograms, when comparing EPS foam with and without GMP, complementarily support the above statement. An additional practical achievement is finding the maximum thickness at which one may reduce the "grey" EPS insulating layer, with respect to "dotted" EPS at a required level of thermal resistance. In the case of the thickest (0.30 m) panels for a passive building, above 18% of thickness reduction is found to be possible.
