Investigation of the Cooling of Hot Walls by Liquid Water Sprays
1999
An experimental study was conducted for the heat transfer from hot walls to liquid water sprays. Four full cone, swirl spray nozzles were used at different upstream pressures, giving mass fluxes impinging on the wall, G, from 8 to 80 kg m(-2) s(-1), mean droplet velocities, U, from 13 to 28 m s(-1) and mean droplet diameters, D, from 0.4 to 2.2 mm. A target consisting of two slabs of beryllium-copper alloy, each 4 x 5 cm in size and 1.1 mm thick, was electrically heated to about 300 degrees C and then rapidly and symmetrically cooled by water sprays issuing from two identical nozzles. The midplane temperature was measured by a fast response, thin-foil thermocouple and the experimental data …
The Nukiyama Curve in Water Spray Cooling: its Derivation from Temperature-Time Histories and its Dependence on the Quantities that Characterize Drop…
2007
Abstract Heat transfer from hot aluminium walls to cold water sprays was investigated. The method used was the transient two-side symmetric cooling of a planar aluminium target, previously heated to temperatures of up to 750 K, by twin sprays issuing from full-cone swirl spray nozzles of various gauge. The target’s mid-plane temperature was recorded during the cooling transient by thin-foil K thermocouples and a high-frequency data acquisition system. In order to determine the wall temperature Tw, the wall heat flux q w ″ and the q w ″ - T w heat transfer (Nukiyama) curve, two different approaches were used: the first was based on the solution of an inverse heat conduction problem, the seco…
Intrapulpal temperature changes during root surface irradiation with an 809-nm GaAlAs laser
2002
The aim of this study was to explore, in vitro, whether the irradiation of human root surfaces with a diode laser might induce nonphysiologic intrapulpal temperature elevations and, therefore, jeopardize pulp vitality.The pulps were removed from human maxillary and mandibular incisors extracted for periodontal reasons. The root canals were enlarged to an apical size #60 file. The teeth were radiographed with standard dental films and a millimeter grid to determine root thickness. The thickness of dentin between the root surface and the pulp in the irradiation areas was 1, 2, and 3 mm. To determine intrapulpal temperature changes during laser irradiation, 0.5-mm K-type thermocouples were ins…

Experimental investigation of the cutting temperature when turning with coated indexable inserts
1999
Abstract This paper deals with an experimental investigation into the different factors which influence the temperature which occur at the coating/substrate–chip interface when machining a medium carbon steel and an austenitic stainless steel. Both flat-faced and grooved inserts coated with TiC, TiC/TiN and TiC/Al 2 O 3 /TiN were used. A standard K-type thermocouple embedded in the workpiece was used to convert measured efms to the interfacial temperature. Some optimal coating structures for high speed machining of these steels corresponding to the minimum interface temperature were selected. In particular, it was observed that by the proper selection of the thermal properties of the coatin…
The role of coatings in controlling the cutting process when turning with coated indexable inserts
1998
Abstract This paper is concerned with the variations in the specific cutting pressure and the tool–chip interface temperature that occur when machining a medium carbon steel and an austenitic stainless steel with TiC-, TiC/TiN- and TiC/Al2O3/TiN- coated inserts. Extensive experimental studies involving the cutting force and the interface temperature were performed. A standard thermocouple embedded in the workpiece was used to determine the cutting temperature. Two new parameters were introduced in order to compare both the mechanical and thermal loadings of the tool–chip contact for coated flat-faced and grooved inserts. Some optimal coating structures for high speed machining of these stee…
Thermal Characterization of the Chip-Tool Interface When Using Coated Turning Inserts
2000
Abstract This paper reports some results of extensive experimental investigations of the thermal interactions between the coating/substrate and the moving surface of the chip. Semi-orthogonal cutting when bar turning a medium carbon steel and an austenitic stainless steel was carried out. Both flat-faced and grooved inserts coated with TiC, TiC/TiN, and TiC/Al 2 O 3 /TiN were tested. A standard K-type thermocouple embedded in the workpiece was used to convert measured efm's to the interfacial temperatures. In addition, the chiprake contact length and the area of contact were determined by using computer processing of scanned contact images. The minimum steady-state temperature at the interf…
Tuning the carrier concentration for thermoelectrical application in the quaternary Heusler compound Co2TiAl(1−x)Six
2010
The family of half-metallic ferromagnets Co2TiZ exhibits exceptional transport properties. The investigated compounds Co2TiAl(1−x)Six (x = 0.25, 0.5, 0.75) show Curie temperatures (TCs) that vary between 250 and 350 K, depending on the composition. Above TC the Seebeck coefficient remains constant. This makes them promising candidates for thermoelectric devices such as thermocouples with a tunable working range. The electrical resistivity data show an anomaly at TC which is attributed to changes in the electronic structure and therefore in the carrier concentration.
Thermal Characterization of Friction Stir Welded Butt Joints
2005
In the paper the thermal characterization of friction stir welding processes (FSW) of aluminium alloys is presented. In particular both embedded thermocouples and a thermography analysis were utilized in order to acquire the temperature vs. time curves in point of interests of the joints and the temperature distributions, respectively. Such kind of results are very important in order to investigate the material conditions during the FSW process.
Determination of temperature by stimulated raman scattering of molecular nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide
1993
We have determined the temperature from SRS spectra of N2-N2, N2-CO2, O2-O2, and CO2-CO2 recorded in wide pressure and temperature ranges. The fitting procedure takes simultaneously into account the Dicke effect and motional narrowing. We have quantified the accuracy of the MEG and ECS-P models for rotational relaxation. The temperature extracted from each model is compared with thermocouple measurements. The influence of vibrational broadening and shifting is discussed in detail.
