采用Gleeble 1500热模拟机对定向凝固Fe-6.5%(质量分数)Si合金进行热压缩变形研究。结果表明,Fe-6.5%(质量分数)Si合金柱状晶组织热形变过程中很难发生动态再结晶,以动态回复为主,易产生严重的变形带;在无序相区间,在柱状晶晶界处发生动态再结晶形核,但长大受到限制,仅局限于晶界附近。与锻态等轴晶组织相比,有序相区间,两种组织形变行为基本一致,受温度影响剧烈,在无序相区间,随温度升高,等轴晶组织的形变激活能略有升高,平均值约为294kJ/mol,而柱状晶组织的形变激活能逐渐降低,平均值约为260kJ/mol。     

Strain-softening behavior of an Fe-6.5 wt%Si alloy during warm deformation and its applications

An Fe-6.5 wt%Si alloy with columnar grains was compressed at a temperature below its recrystallization temperature. The Vickers hardness and structure of the alloy before and after deformation were investigated. The results showed that with an increase in the degree of deformation, Vickers hardness of the alloy initially increased rapidly and then decreased slowly, indicating that the alloy had a strain-softening behavior after a large deformation. Meanwhile, the work-hardening exponent of the alloy decreased significantly. Transmission electron microscopy confirmed that the decrease of the order degree was responsible for the strain-softening behavior of the deformed alloy. Applying its softening behavior, the Fe-6.5 wt%Si alloy with columnar grains was rolled at 400 °C and then at room temperature. An Fe-6.5 wt%Si thin strip with thickness of 0.20 mm was fabricated. The surface of the strip was bright and had no obvious edge cracks.     

基于DICTRA软件模拟Si、Al共渗制取Fe-6.5%Si-1%Al合金薄板

Fe-6.5%Si-1%Al(质量分数)合金薄板具有优异的软磁性能和较好的机械加工性能。本文基于DICTRA (Diffusion controlled transformation)软件模拟研究了Fe-3%Si低硅钢基板Si、Al共渗制取Fe-6.5%Si-1%Al合金薄板的可能条件以及Fe-Si-Al三元体系中Si、Al共渗的交互作用机制。设计结构为17.5 μm Fe-34.2%Si-8.93%Al /200 μm Fe-3%Si /17.5 μm Fe-34.2%Si-8.93%Al的扩散偶组合,模拟其在1 373 K温度下扩散不同时间后Si与Al的浓度分布。模拟结果表明,低硅钢基体中Si的扩散速率高于Al,当扩散时间达14 400 s时,Si与Al沿截面均匀分布,且Si与Al的含量均达到设计目标Fe-6.5%Si-1%Al的成分值。模拟过程中适当改变扩散偶组合中Si与Al的浓度值发现,低硅钢基体Si、Al共渗制取高硅(铝)钢过程中会因活度变化发生Si或Al的上坡扩散,但该影响会在均匀化过程中随浓度梯度的消失而消失。在Fe-Si-Al三元体系中,适量Al的存在会促进Si的扩散。     

Numerical study for the effects of thermophoresis and variable thermal conductivity on heat and mass transfer over an accelerating surface with heat source

A modified numerical solution scheme, for local similarity boundary layer analysis, is used to study the effects of thermophoresis and variable thermal conductivity on heat and mass transfer over an accelerating surface with heat source in the presence of suction and blowing. This numerical scheme is efficient and accurate and it can be programmed and applied easily and its application is illustrated, step by step, by studying the above mentioned problem. The resulting boundary layer equations are solved numerically by Chebyshev finite difference method. Numerical results for the velocity, temperature and concentration as well as for the skin friction, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are obtained and reported graphically for various parametric conditions to show interesting aspects of the solution.     

Numerical investigation of supercritical LNG convective heat transfer in a horizontal serpentine tube

The submerged combustion vaporizer (SCV) is indispensable general equipment for liquefied natural gas (LNG) receiving terminals. In this paper, numerical simulation was conducted to get insight into the flow and heat transfer characteristics of supercritical LNG on the tube-side of SCV. The SST model with enhanced wall treatment method was utilized to handle the coupled wall-to-LNG heat transfer. The thermal–physical properties of LNG under supercritical pressure were used for this study. After the validation of model and method, the effects of mass flux, outer wall temperature and inlet pressure on the heat transfer behaviors were discussed in detail. Then the non-uniformity heat transfer mechanism of supercritical LNG and effect of natural convection due to buoyancy change in the tube was discussed based on the numerical results. Moreover, different flow and heat transfer characteristics inside the bend tube sections were also analyzed. The obtained numerical results showed that the local surface heat transfer coefficient attained its peak value when the bulk LNG temperature approached the so-called pseudo-critical temperature. Higher mass flux could eliminate the heat transfer deteriorations due to the increase of turbulent diffusion. An increase of outer wall temperature had a significant influence on diminishing heat transfer ability of LNG. The maximum surface heat transfer coefficient strongly depended on inlet pressure. Bend tube sections could enhance the heat transfer due to secondary flow phenomenon. Furthermore, based on the current simulation results, a new dimensionless, semi-theoretical empirical correlation was developed for supercritical LNG convective heat transfer in a horizontal serpentine tube. The paper provided the mechanism of heat transfer for the design of high-efficiency SCV.     

Influence of mould design on the solidification of heavy forging ingots of low alloy steels by numerical simulation

Ingot casting of a 6-ton, heat-treatable Cr–Mo low alloy steel was simulated using finite element method in three dimensions. Effects of casting parameters including bottom pouring rate, mould slenderness ratio, mould slope, and height and shape of the hot top isolate on solidification behaviour and crack susceptibility during subsequent hot forging of the ingot were investigated. The simulation model was validated against experimental data of two different ingot mould designs. Influences of the casting parameters on the riser efficiency and possible crack formation in the intersection of hot top and ingot body during subsequent open-die forging of the cast steel ingots were discussed. Results showed that pouring the melt under a constant rate, reducing the mould slenderness ratio, and using a proper design for the hot top isolate would all improve the riser efficiency and thereby possibly reduce crack susceptibility during subsequent hot forging.     

Diffusion bonding of Fe-28Al(Cr) alloy with low-carbon steel in vacuum

Fe-28Al(Cr) alloy and low-carbon steel were diffusion bonded in a vacuum of 10⁻⁴-10⁻⁵ Pa. The relationship of the bond parameters and shear strength at the interface was discussed. Microstructure characteristics and the reaction products at the interface were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffractometry (XRD). The thickness of the diffusion reaction layer was measured with electron probe microanalysis (EPMA). The results indicated that controlling bonding temperature 1333 K for 3.6 ks, shear strength at the interface can be up to 112 MPa. Three kinds of reaction products were observed to have formed during the vacuum diffusion bonding, namely FeAl, Fe₃Al and α-Fe (Al) solid solution. The thickness (X) of the diffusion reaction layer increases with bonding time (t) according to a parabolic law X²=6.4×10³ exp(−104.1/RT)(t-t₀) (μm²).     

Unsteady MHD heat and mass transfer of a non-Newtonian nanofluid flow of a two-phase model over a permeable stretching wall with heat generation/absorption

The combined effects of magnetic field and heat generation or absorption on unsteady boundary-layer convective heat and mass transfer of a non-Newtonian nanofluid over a permeable stretching wall have been addressed. A power-law model includes Brownian motion and thermophoresis influences are utilized for non-Newtonian nanofluids with a convective boundary condition. The non-linear governing equations are reduced into ODEs by similarity transformations and solved numerically by using Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg 4th–5th order numerical method (RKF45) with shooting technique. The different physical parameters effects such as the magnetic parameter $(M)$, the heat source/sink parameters $(\lambda )$, the unsteadiness parameter $(A)$, the generalized Prandtl and Lewis numbers on the dimensionless velocity, temperature and nanoparticles volume fraction, in addition to the skin friction, local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are analyzed. It is reached that the thermal and concentration boundary-layer thickness has higher values with the increasing of magnetic field and heat generation in the case of a pseudo-plastic nanofluid than others.     

A coarse-grained parcel method for heat and mass transfer simulations of spray coating processes

The Discrete Element Method (DEM) is commonly used for modeling the flow of particulate materials. Unfortunately, such detailed simulations are computationally very demanding, restricting its use for industrially-scaled processes. The number of particles in a simulation can be reduced by introducing parcels (i.e., “coarse graining”), which – in essence – relies on the increase of the particle diameter for interaction calculations. However, sophisticated models are necessary to preserve the original behavior of the material when using such an approach. Our present contribution extends available coarse-graining concepts by introducing models for (i) particle–fluid mass transfer and (ii) the deposition rate of spray droplets on particles. Our mass transfer model is based on an existing model for heat transfer. For the spray deposition model, we introduce an effective particle diameter to compute the correct amount of droplets that impact particles. We show that these models can be used with confidence up to a coarse-graining level of 5, which we demonstrate for a simple-shaped fluidized bed. The models proposed by us are critical for detailed simulations of spray coating processes since they enable precise particle-droplet-air interaction modeling at low computational cost.     

MHD convective heat transfer of nanofluids through a flexible tube with buoyancy: A study of nano-particle shape effects

This paper presents an analytical study of magnetohydrodynamics and convective heat transfer of nanofluids synthesized by three different shaped (brick, platelet and cylinder) silver (Ag) nanoparticles in water. A two-phase nanoscale formulation is adopted which is more appropriate for biophysical systems. The flow is induced by metachronal beating of cilia and the flow geometry is considered as a cylindrical tube. The analysis is carried out under the low Reynolds number and long wavelength approximations and the fluid and cilia dynamics is of the creeping type. A Lorentzian magnetic body force model is employed and magnetic induction effects are neglected. Solutions to the transformed boundary value problem are obtained via numerical integration. The influence of cilia length parameter, Hartmann (magnetic) number, heat absorption parameter, Grashof number (free convection), solid nanoparticle volume fraction, and cilia eccentricity parameter on the flow and heat transfer characteristics (including effective thermal conductivity of the nanofluid) are examined in detail. Furthermore a comparative study for different nanoparticle geometries (i.e. bricks, platelets and cylinders) is conducted. The computations show that pressure increases with enhancing the heat absorption, buoyancy force (i.e. Grashof number) and nanoparticle fraction however it reduces with increasing the magnetic field. The computations also reveal that pressure enhancement is a maximum for the platelet nano-particle case compared with the brick and cylinder nanoparticle cases. Furthermore the quantity of trapped streamlines for cylinder type nanoparticles exceeds substantially that computed for brick and platelet nanoparticles, whereas the bolus magnitude (trapped zone) for brick nanoparticles is demonstrably greater than that obtained for cylinder and platelet nanoparticles. The present model is applicable in biological and biomimetic transport phenomena exploiting magnetic nanofluids and ciliated inner tube surfaces.     

Numerical study of resin transfer molding (RTM) curing process

It is a very important phase in resin transfer molding (RTM) process that resin is cured. The result of the curing process determines the quality of a part, including mechanical properties, lifecycle of the part under high temperature and chemical properties. Therefore, it is very meaningful to discuss the curing process. In our work, the code is prepared based on unstructured mesh using divergence theorem. A case is used to verify properness of the code and the results are in good agreement with the published experiment data. In the paper, some factors of materials and numerical calculation, e.g., time step, reaction heat, the whole heat conductivity of fiber and resin and fiber initial temperature, which affect result of simulation, are emphatically investigated and carefully revealed. The conclusion shows that time step, the reaction heat and heat conductivity have an important effect on the curing process, while fiber initial temperature has very little impact. These are helpful to understand and adopt the curing process in order to produce good products.     

Numerical analysis of two-dimensional steady-state and transient heat transfer in a parallel duct filled with pressurized He II

Analysis on steady-state and transient heat transfer on a flat plate at the middle of a parallel duct immersed in He II was performed for bath temperatures from 1.8 to 2.1 K at 101.3 kPa. Two-dimensional computer code named SUPER-2D developed by the authors based on the two-fluid model and the theory of mutual friction was used. Steady-state critical heat flux (CHF) and the time lag from the application of a step heat input to λ transition, that is called a lifetime, were obtained numerically for various step heat fluxes and for the channel gaps from 2 to 20 mm. Effect of the gap restriction on the CHF and the lifetime were clarified. The solutions were compared with the experimental data for the ducts with the same structures and the corresponding conditions. They agreed well with the experimental data. The heat transport mechanism in the parallel duct was clarified.     

Finite element analysis of combined heat and mass transfer in hydromagnetic micropolar flow along a stretching sheet

This paper presents a finite element solution of the problem of heat and mass transfer in a hydromagnetic flow of a micropolar fluid past a stretching sheet. The transformed equations for the flow regime are solved numerically by using finite element method. The effect of important parameters namely magnetic field parameter, material parameter, Eckert number and Schmidt number over velocity, microrotation, temperature and concentration functions has been studied. It has been observed that the magnetic field parameter has the effect of reducing the velocity and increasing the microrotation, temperature and concentration while the micropolar parameter has the opposite effect on these functions except temperature function. Temperature increases with the increase in Eckert number and concentration decreases with the increase in Schmidt number.

Numerical study of Soret and Dufour effects on heat and mass transfer from natural convection flow over a vertical porous medium with variable wall heat fluxes

A study has been carried out to obtain the solutions for heat and mass transfer from natural convection flow along a vertical surface with variable heat fluxes embedded in a porous medium due to thermal-diffusion (Soret) and diffusion-thermo (Dufour) effects. The buoyancy induced boundary layer adjacent to a vertical surface is analyzed using a non-Darcy flow model. The parameters for inertia, buoyancy ratio, exponent of heat flux, position and diffusion have been examined. The governing differential equations of continuity, momentum, energy and concentration are transformed into a set of coupled equations and solved using similarity analysis with numerical technique. Results show the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles related to local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers at different magnitude of Soret and Dufour numbers.     

Experimental study on the flow and heat transfer characteristics of a tetra-n-butyl ammonium bromide hydrate slurry (second report: Heat transfer characteristics)

The heat transfer characteristics of a tetra-n-butyl ammonium bromide hydrate slurry were investigated where the Reynolds number, tube diameters and solid fraction were varied as experimental parameters. For laminar flow, it was found that the ratio of Nusselt numbers increased with solid fraction. An approximation of Nusselt number could be derived using the Graetz number on the basis of the apparent Reynolds number, the solid fraction and the ratio of the average diameter of the hydrate particles to the test tube diameter. For turbulent flow conditions, the ratio of Nusselt numbers had a value of one for each condition at low solid fractions. The ratio of Nusselt numbers increased with solid fraction in the high solid fraction region. Moreover, the apparent Reynolds number, which can be derived by treating the hydrate slurry as a pseudoplastic fluid, can be used to determine the condition under which hydrate slurry heat transfer characteristics vary under turbulent flow.     

Numerical study of transient 2-D compressible flow with heat and mass transfer using the finite volume method

In this paper, we used a pressure-based finite volume method to investigate the problem of transient 2-D compressible flow with heat and mass transfer in a rectangular domain. We have used this method to solve the governing equations with given initial and wall slip boundary conditions. We implemented the SIMPLE-TS algorithm in order to compute the numerical solutions for the flow variables, viz., velocity, pressure, temperature, concentration, density. The variation of density of the fluid along the horizontal and vertical line through geometric center of the domain has been studied. The transient solutions of temperature and concentration indicate that, the transient flow though dominates initially, it finally settles down to steady states solutions after elapse of some time. Nusselt number and Sherwood numbers were used to predict the behavior of heat transfer and mass transfer, respectively, at the center line of the rectangular domain.     

Numerical study of flow and heat transfer of superfluid helium in capillary channels

A modified two-fluid model is adopted to study flow and heat transfer of superfluid helium in a microchannel with a diameter as small as that of a superleak in a fountain effect pump. Variable properties of superfluid helium and energy dissipations due to the two-fluid mutual friction and the friction at the channel wall are fully taken into consideration. It is found that the normal fluid component flow is not trivial even in a channel with diameter of a micrometre, and that there exists an optimum diameter for the maximum mass flow rate. The flow of superfluid helium through a channel with different temperatures at the ends differs considerably from that of a Newtonian fluid. The strong dependence of the thermodynamic properties on temperature and pressure, as well as the internal-convection mechanism are found to be the causes of the unique flows.     

Mathematical modeling of heat and mass transfer effects on MHD peristaltic propulsion of two-phase flow through a Darcy-Brinkman-Forchheimer porous medium

This article deals with the combined effects of heat and mass transfer on the peristaltic propulsion of two-phase fluid flow through a Darcy-Brinkman-Forchheimer porous medium with compliant walls. The Sisko fluid model together with small particles is considered in the presence of extrinsic magnetic field and chemical reaction. It is well-known that different biological fluids behave like a Newtonian or non-Newtonian fluid depending upon the shear rates. The non-Newtonian fluid models are more complicated than Newtonian fluid and difficult to express using the single constitutive relationship between stress and strain rate. These constitutive equations provide a complex mathematical formulation and become numerous challenges to find numerical and analytical solutions. Small magnetic particles are helpful to manipulate and control the two-phase flow by magnetic force. Moreover, it is also beneficial in drug targeting for the treatment of different diseases. Further, two-phase flow plays an important role to examine the muscular expansion and contraction during the propagation of various biological fluids. An appropriate approximation is considered such as long wavelength and creeping flow regime to model the governing equations. Analytical solutions are obtained using the perturbation method. Moreover, numerical computations are performed to determine the features of peristaltic pumping. The results of different rheological properties for particle and fluid phase are discussed mathematically as well as graphically for different sundry parameters. The current analysis has an extensive amount of applications in medical engineering and also significant importance of smart fluid pumping systems in various engineering processes.     

Failure and impact behavior of facade panels made of glass fiber reinforced cement(GRC)

GRC is a cementitious composite material made up of a cement mortar matrix and chopped glass fibers. Due to its outstanding mechanical properties, GRC has been widely used to produce cladding panels and some civil engineering elements. Impact failure of cladding panels made of GRC may occur during production if some tool falls onto the panel, due to stone or other objects impacting at low velocities or caused by debris projected after a blast. Impact failure of a front panel of a building may have not only an important economic value but also human lives may be at risk if broken pieces of the panel fall from the building to the pavement. Therefore, knowing GRC impact strength is necessary to prevent economic costs and putting human lives at risk.One-stage light gas gun is an impact test machine capable of testing different materials subjected to impact loads. An experimental program was carried out, testing GRC samples of five different formulations, commonly used in building industry. Steel spheres were shot at different velocities on square GRC samples. The residual velocity of the projectiles was obtained both using a high speed camera with multiframe exposure and measuring the projectile’s penetration depth in molding clay blocks. Tests were performed on young and artificially aged GRC samples to compare GRC’s behavior when subjected to high strain rates. Numerical simulations using a hydrocode were made to analyze which parameters are most important during an impact event.GRC impact strength was obtained from test results. Also, GRC’s embrittlement, caused by GRC aging, has no influence on GRC impact behavior due to the small size of the projectile. Also, glass fibers used in GRC production only maintain GRC panels’ integrity but have no influence on GRC’s impact strength. Numerical models have reproduced accurately impact tests.
