圆柱腔体内水凝固过程热对流实验研究

本文通过匹配折射率和标定技术,应用PIV测量了圆柱腔体内水在底部冷却过程中热对流的变化规律．实验发现了主流场的涡结构;另外在底部拐角处出现新的涡,并且不断向上推移;冷却后期整个液相区出现流动反转现象,靠近壁面处水向上流动,中心区域水向下流动。因为存在着复杂的热交换和密度变化,水在凝固过程中存在流动结构失稳,使得液相区内发生强烈的热对流．最后流动强度减弱,重新形成稳定结构。结合泰勒不稳定性分析,本文对这一过程给出了合理解释．

The effect of ultrasonic processing on solidification microstructure and heat transfer in stainless steel melt

The heat transfer in the ultrasonic processing of stainless steel melt is studied in this thesis. The temperature field is simulated when the metal melt is treated with and without ultrasound. In order to avoid the erosion of high temperature melt, ultrasound was introduced from the bottom of melt. It is found that the temperature of melt apparently increases when processed with ultrasound, and the greater the ultrasonic power is, the higher the melt temperature will be; ultrasonic processing can reduce the temperature gradient, leading to more uniform temperature distribution in the melt. The solidification speed is obviously brought down due to the introduction of ultrasound during solidification, with the increasing of ultrasonic power, the melt temperature rises and the solidification speed decreases; as without ultrasound, the interface of solid and mushy zone is arc-shaped, so is the interface of liquid and mushy zone, with ultrasound, the interface of solid and mushy zone is still arc-shaped, but the interface of liquid and mushy zone is almost flat. The simulation results of temperature field are verified in experiment, which also indicates that the dendrite growth direction is in accord with thermal flux direction. The effect of ultrasonic treatment, which improves with the increase of treating power, is in a limited area due to the attenuation of ultrasound.     

Effects of liquid structure transition on solidification by the Newton thermal analysis method

This paper is to explore the effects of the liquid structure transition (LST) on the solidification kinetics of Sn-30 wt% Sb alloy by the Newton thermal analysis (NTA) method and the solidified microstructure analysis. Influence of the cooling rate on solidification behavior and microstructure was also concerned. With a self-designed sand mold, the cooling curves of five points were collected automatically in the process of solidification by a HYDRA. In the case of the liquid structure transition and a faster cooling rate, the modification melt treatment will lead to a higher undercooling of nucleation and an increased solidification latent heat in central part of solidifying castings, then the eventual grain size was evidently refined.

热质的运动与传递-微尺度导热中的热质动能效应

基于热质(热量的当量动质量)的概念,通过建立和分析热质的运动方程得到了反映热质动能变化的稳态导热微分方程,表明Fourier导热定律只有在热质的动能变化相对热质势能变化很小而可以忽略时才成立;在高热流密度和低温的情况下热质的动能变化不可忽略,这种动能效应表现为热流密度和温度梯度不再成线性关系.动能效应也导致Fourier导热定律不能通过热流和温度梯度准确地获得物体的导热系数,本文基于热质运动方程给出了导热系数动能效应的修正式.最后针对高热流密度和低温一维稳态导热进行了分子动力学模拟验证.     

On the effect of flat energy directors thickness on heat generation during ultrasonic welding of thermoplastic composites

This paper presents a detailed experimental assessment of the effect of the thickness of flat energy directors (ED) on heat generation at the interface during ultrasonic welding. Power and displacement data showed clear differences caused by the change of thickness, related to heat concentration at the weld line during the process. The extent of the heat-affected zone was assessed by welding specimens without consolidation at different stages of the process. It was confirmed through optical microscopy that heat is generated at the interface and transferred to the bulk adherends earlier in the process for thinner ED. The analysis of their fracture surface under optimum welding conditions revealed signs of matrix degradation, leading to less consistent quality, likely due to faster heat generation rate in both the ED and the substrates, and incidentally, higher temperatures surrounding the energy director.     

Bulk ablation of soft tissue with intense ultrasound: modeling and experiments

Methods for the bulk ablation of soft tissue using intense ultrasound, with potential applications in the thermal treatment of focal tumors, are presented. An approximate analytic model for bulk ablation predicts the progress of ablation based on tissue properties, spatially averaged ultrasonic heat deposition, and perfusion. The approximate model allows the prediction of threshold acoustic powers required for ablation in vivo as well as the comparison of cases with different starting temperatures and perfusion characteristics, such as typical in vivo and ex vivo experiments. In a full three-dimensional numerical model, heat deposition from array transducers is computed using the Fresnel approximation and heat transfer in tissue is computed by finite differences, accounting for heating changes caused by boiling and thermal dose-dependent absorption. Similar ablation trends due to perfusion effects are predicted by both the simple analytic model and the full numerical model. Comparisons with experimental results show the efficacy of both models in predicting tissue ablation effects. Phenomena illustrated by the simulations and experiments include power thresholds for in vivo ablation, differences between in vivo and ex vivo lesioning for comparable source conditions, the effect of tissue boiling and absorption changes on ablation depth, and the performance of a continuous rotational scanning method suitable for interstitial bulk ablation of soft tissue.     

液体材料超声处理过程中声场和流场的分布规律研究

针对合金熔体等液体材料的超声处理过程,选取水作为透明模型材料,采用数值模拟计算和示踪粒子实验方法,研究了20和490 kHz两种频率超声作用下水中的声场和流场分布.结果表明,增大变幅杆半径能够提高水中声压水平,扩大空化效应的发生区域.当超声频率为20 kHz时,水中声压最大值出现在超声变幅杆下端面处,且声压沿传播距离的增大而显著减小.如果超声频率增加至490 kHz,水中的声压级相比于20 kHz时明显提高,且声压沿着超声传播方向呈现出周期性振荡特征.两种频率超声作用下水中的流场呈现相似的分布特征,且平均流速均随着变幅杆半径增大表现出先升高后降低的趋势.变幅杆半径相同时,20 kHz频率超声作用下水中的平均流速高于490 kHz频率超声.采用示踪粒子图像测速技术实时观察和测定了水中的流速分布,发现其与计算结果基本一致.     

Ultrasonic cavitation in thin liquid layers

The generation of ultrasonic cavitation in a thin liquid layer trapped between a large radiating surface and a hard reflector and bounded laterally by a gas–liquid interface is investigated. The theoretical analysis predicts that a large amplification of the acoustical pressure is obtained with this configuration. Experiments are conducted by driving the layer with horn-type transducers having a large emitting surface. Ultrasonic cavitation is obtained in a broad frequency range at low input intensity due to the amplification effect. Erosion tests on metallic foils demonstrate the existence of a region of intense cavitation activity which can be localised by controlling the input intensity.     

Experimental characterisation of the thermal behaviour of different materials submitted to ultrasound in an ultrasonic fountain

The purpose of this study was to characterize the thermal behaviour of different materials subjected to an ultrasonic fountain created by an ultrasonic piezoelectric transducer. Tests were conducted with an infrared camera to determine the surface temperature of the material samples. The main conclusion is that the plastics when subjected to the ultrasonic fountain tend to heat up strongly and can reach temperatures up to 200 °C in few seconds. The temperature rise depends on the nature of the plastic material and the experimental conditions namely the height of liquid above the transducer and also the distance between the liquid surface and the sample. The comparison with an aluminium plate and a Pyrex plate gives a better understanding of the phenomenon that is related to three characteristics of the experiment: the transmission of the incident wave, the ability of the material to absorb this energy as heat and finally, the thermal and thermodynamic properties. These three parameters determine the behaviour of the plate when it is subjected to the ultrasonic fountain. In order to achieve a performing active control system, the choice of the material that faces an ultrasound fountain is very important to avoid any damage.

In order to solve the thermal transport paradox, C. W. Ulbrich and M. Chester have proposed the modification heat conduction equation respectively from different macroscopic viewpoint. This paper derived the modification heat conduction equation according to phonon model and quantum mechanics from microscopic viewpoint.     

Al-Cu-Ge合金的热物理性质与快速凝固规律研究

Al-Cu-Ge合金是典型的三元共晶体系,在工业上有重要的应用价值,对其进行研究有助于了解该合金的热物理性质和提高该合金的结构性能.本文选择了Al55Cu10Ge35,Al70Cu10Ge20和Al80Cu10Ge10三种成分合金作为研究对象,对合金的固态比热和热膨胀系数进行了测量,并对比分析了合金在近平衡凝固和落管快速凝固条件下的组织特征和凝固路径.研究发现,合金比热随Al含量的增大和Ge含量的减少而增大.这三种成分合金的软化温度均为666 K,物理热膨胀系数α在370—650 K温度范围内基本一致,约为1.5×10-5K-1.近平衡凝固条件下合金凝固过程中最后一步反应生成的均为(Al)+(Ge)二相共晶而不是三元共晶,这表明(Al)、(Ge)和CuAl2相在这三种成分的Al-Cu-Ge合金中难以同时形核并协同生长.然而,在快速凝固条件下,初生相的形核和生成受到抑制,合金中更易于形成二相共晶和三元共晶组织.

Enhancement of heat transfer in forced convection by using dual low-high frequency ultrasound

Combined sonication with dual-frequency ultrasound has been investigated to enhance heat transfer in forced convection. The test section used for this study consists of a channel with, on one hand, heating blocks normal to the water flow, equipped with thermocouples, and, on the other hand, two ultrasonic emitters. One is facing the heating blocks, thus the ultrasonic field is perpendicular, and the second ultrasonic field is collinear to the water flow. Two types of ultrasonic waves were used: low-frequency ultrasound (25 kHz) to generate mainly acoustic cavitation and high-frequency ultrasound (2 MHz) well-known to induce Eckart’s acoustic streaming. A thermal approach was conducted to investigate heat transfer enhancement in the presence of ultrasound. This approach was completed with PIV measurements to assess the hydrodynamic behavior modifications under ultrasound. Sonochemiluminescence experiments were performed to account for the presence and the location of acoustic cavitation within the water flow. The results have shown a synergetic effect using combined low-and-high-frequency sonication. Enhancement of heat transfer is related to greater induced turbulence within the water flow by comparison with single-frequency sonication. However, the ultrasonically-induced turbulence is not homogeneously distributed within the water flow and the synergy effect on heat transfer enhancement depends mainly on the generation of turbulence along the heating wall. For the optimal configuration of dual-frequency sonication used in this work, a local heat transfer enhancement factor up to 366% was observed and Turbulent Kinetic Energy was enhanced by up to 84% when compared to silent regime.     

SOLIDIFICATION VOID FORMATION IN TUBES: ROLE OF LIQUID SHRINKAGE AND BUBBLE NUCLEATION

Experiments were carried out to observe the solidification sequence and void distribution for experimental liquids enclosed in Pyrex tubes under a wide range of cooling rates. A physical model based on liquid thermal shrinkage and nucleation considerations has been developed to predict the number of voids formed in terms of the heat transfer rate and thermophysical properties of the phase-change material. Agreement of the results with our experimental data is encouraging. Understanding such aspects of the solidification process is vital to development of better thermal energy storage systems for a variety of applications.     

Modelling of laser surface alloying and dispersing of ceramics

Laser‐supported processes can be used to modify the electrical and thermal properties of ceramic substrates locally. These processes are characterized by a strong thermal interaction between the laser beam and the ceramic surface that leads to localized melting. During the dynamic melting process an additive material is injected into the melt pool in order to modify the physical properties. The heat and mass transfer during this dynamic melting and solidification process has been studied numerically in order to identify the dominating process parameters. Simulation tools based on a finite‐volume method have been developed to describe the heat transfer, fluid flow and the phase change during the melting and solidification of the ceramic. The results of the calculation have been validated against experimental results.     

High frequency ultrasonic-assisted CO2 absorption in a high pressure water batch system

Physical absorption process is always nullified by the presence of cavitation under low frequency ultrasonic irradiation. In the present study, high frequency ultrasonic of 1.7 MHz was used for the physical absorption of CO₂ in a water batch system under elevated pressure. The parameters including ultrasonic power and initial feed pressure for the system have been varied from 0 to 18 W and 6 to 41 bar, respectively. The mass transfer coefficient has been determined via the dynamic pressure-step method. Besides, the actual ultrasonic power that transmitted to the liquid was measured based on calorimetric method prior to the absorption study. Subsequently, desorption study was conducted as a comparison with the absorption process. The mechanism for the ultrasonic assisted absorption has also been discussed. Based on the results, the mass transfer coefficient has increased with the increasing of ultrasonic power. It means that, the presence of streaming effect and the formation of liquid fountain is more favorable under high frequency ultrasonic irradiation for the absorption process. Therefore, high frequency ultrasonic irradiation is suggested to be one of the potential alternatives for the gas separation process with its promising absorption enhancement and compact design.     

Specific heat and related thermophysical properties of liquid Fe-Cu-Mo alloy

The specific heat and related thermophysical properties of liquid Fe77.5Cu13Mo9.5 monotectic alloy were investigated by an electromagnetic levitation drop calorimeter over a wide temperature range from 1482 to 1818 K. A maximum undercooling of 221 K (0.13 Tm) was achieved and the specific heat was determined as 44.71 J·mol-1·K-1. The excess specific heat, enthalpy change, entropy change and Gibbs free energy difference of this alloy were calculated on the basis of experimental results. It was found that the calculated results by traditional estimating methods can only describe the solidification process under low undercooling conditions. Only the experimental results can reflect the reality under high undercooling conditions. Meanwhile, the thermal diffusivity, thermal conductivity, and sound speed were derived from the present experimental results. Furthermore, the solidified microstructural morphology was examined, which consists of (Fe) and (Cu) phases. The calculated interface energy was applied to exploring the correlation between competitive nucleation and solidification microstructure within monotectic alloy.
