Thermal analysis of a ceramic coating diesel engine piston using 3-D finite element method

In this study, firstly, thermal analyses are investigated on a conventional (uncoated) diesel piston, made of aluminum silicon alloy and steel. Secondly, thermal analyses are performed on pistons, coated with MgO-ZrO₂ material by means of using a commercial code, namely ANSYS. Finally, the results of four different pistons are compared with each other. The effects of coatings on the thermal behaviors of the pistons are investigated. It has been shown that the maximum surface temperature of the coated piston with material which has low thermal conductivity is improved approximately 48% for the AlSi alloy and 35% for the steel.

THERMAL RADIATION EFFECTS ON THE COMBUSTION BEHAVIOR OF POROUS CHAR PARTICLES

The effects of thermal radiation on the pseudosteady state and transient behavior of porous char particles exposed to an oxygen containing environment are investigated. The numerical simulation results show that particles that do not interchange radiant energy with their environment are characterized by wider ambient temperature regions where multiple steady states exist, higher combustion rates, and lower burning times

An automatic method for controlling the centre of gravity of a model

In many applications the location of the centre of gravity of a mechanical part is an important factor that a designer must consider. If it is not in a desired location, a part might not work properly, e.g. unbalanced force might be generated in a rotational part. After a part is modeled, its centre of gravity cannot be altered unless its external shape or internal mass distribution is changed. However, the external shape is usually constrained by other design considerations. In this paper, an algorithm is proposed for controlling the centre of gravity of a hollowed part. Using this algorithm, the location of the centre of gravity of a part is controlled by changing its internal mass distribution.     

Continuous formation of slurry ice by cooling water–oil emulsion in a tube

Water-silicone oil emulsion with an additive, (C₂H₅O)₃SiC₃H₆NH₂, was examined as a heat storage material. A spiral tube used as a heat exchanger was immersed in a low temperature bath and the emulsion was circulated in the tube to make ice continuously. Ice was separated from the ice–liquid suspension in an outlet tank. The amount of formed ice, the temperatures of the inlet and the outlet of the heat exchanger, and the temperatures in the tube wall were measured and the overall heat transfer coefficient and the heat flux through the tube were calculated. Experiments were carried out, varying the flow rate, the temperature of cooling brine, and the thickness of tube wall. The condition under which slurry ice was formed continuously without adhesion of ice to the cooling wall was clarified. Though decrease in the thermal resistance of the tube increased the rate of ice formation or raised the brine temperature, it narrowed the range of the flow rate and of the brine temperature in which slurry ice was formed continuously.     

Mechanical and thermal properties of HVOF sprayed Ni based alloys with carbide

The objective of the present study is to develop multi-functioned coating to the components, which are made of copper with electroplated Ni and are widely used for steel making industry. In this paper, we report the mechanical and thermal properties of Ni based superalloys with carbide sprayed by high velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF), and the detailed effects of sprayed material, spraying conditions, and initial powder structure on these properties. It was found that, among commercial Ni self-fluxing alloys (without fusing treatment), coating with a carbon content of 0.58 mass% had the most preferable properties, with a good balance of the hardness, strength, and thermal shock resistance. The thermal shock resistance depended not only on the strength of the coating but also on the volume contraction when tested at high temperatures. For the several developed Ni based superalloys with carbide, Ni20Cr8Mo5Fe–WC and Ni16Cr15Mo3–WC demonstrated the prominent adhesion strength and thermal shock resistance with high Galvanic corrosion resistance through optimized spraying condition. Also, 20 mass% NiCr–Cr₃C₂ coating sprayed by using employed relatively small primary particle succeeded in achieving the multi-superior properties; high adhesion strength, high corrosion resistance and thermal shock resistance.     

Effect of gravity on visco-elastic surface waves in solids involving time rate of strain and stress of first order

The aim of the present paper is to study the effect of gravity on visco-elastic surface waves in solids. The wave velocity equations are deduced from Biot’s theory of initial stress on the assumption that gravity creates a type of initial stress — hydrostatic in nature. Resulting equations are used to investigate surface waves of the Rayleigh, Love and Stoneley types. Results are in good agreement with corresponding classical results when gravity and viscosity are neglected.

重力测井用于注CO2油藏监测的理论分析

在３次采油过程中，注采已为广泛应用，但所面临的问题是如何确定油层中注入流体的波及范围、流体前缘位置及推进速度等。利用地震方法进行注采由于受震资料分辨率的限制，只适用于浅层，而其它测井方法由于探测范围限制，揭示井间注采动态又显不足。重力测井具有探测范围大、受井径变化影响小、重复观测周期短、不受目的层埋深限制等优点。通过正演模拟分析表明，重力测井方法不仅可监测ＣＯ２前缘空间位置的变化，而且可以判定ＣＯ
