Abstract This paper investigates the working fluid with different flow directions on the battery management cooling system with de-ionized water and ferrofluid (0.015%by volume). The pack of batteries with two different coolant directions (Models I, II) used in the present study with sixty Li-ion cylindrical cells (25.2V and 30A) are tested under the trickle method for charged process and constant ampere for the discharged process to consider the battery module temperature distribution and cooling performance. The uniform temperatures of the battery pack significantly affect the long lifecycle and thermal performance. It is found that average temperatures are nearly constant at about… More >

Abstract The maximum temperature that cable insulation can withstand determines the maximum load that the cable conductor can carry, which is called cable ampacity. However, a temperature far from this value under normal load conditions affects the transients due to earth faults in the distribution network. Accordingly, error estimation in the fault location occurs, and the smart grids do not accept such errors. Considering heterogenous unearthed and compensated distribution networks, the temperature rise in different underground cables is estimated under different load conditions. These loads are full load, three quarters (3/4) load, one half (1/2) load, and one quarter (1/4) load.… More >

Abstract The use of steel slag, which is a by-product of the steel manufacture, in the construction of asphalt pavement would contribute to waste reduction and environment protection. Using rubber asphalt at the same time can improve the performance of asphalt mixture. This study investigates the influence of steel slag content on the road performance, thermal conductivity and outdoor temperature distribution of steel slag rubber asphalt mixtures (SSRAM), and calculates the cumulative stress in surface layer. At a certain range of concentration, the steel slag additive improved the deformation resistance and low-temperature cracking resistance of the mixtures. The SSRAM with 40%… More >

Abstract In order to clarify the influence of the instrument’s own drag on the temperature distribution in the horizontal gas wellbore in temperature logging. By constructing an indoor gas-liquid two-phase horizontal tube flow platform, the effects of the drag speed of the instrument on the temperature distribution in the wellbore were studied in the single-phase gas and gas-liquid two phases. In addition, during the process of instrument dragging, the influence of different perforation cluster opening methods and wellbore inclination on temperature distribution was also studied. The results show that the temperature fluctuation is reduced at higher drag speeds; Under a certain… More >

Abstract Computing the temperature rise and thermoelastic displacement of a material subjected to frictional heating is essential for the realistic modeling of the performance of mechanical components. This paper presents a novel set of frequency-domain expressions for the surface temperature rise and the surface normal thermoelastic displacement of a moving three-dimensional elastic halfspace subjected to arbitrary transient frictional heating, where the velocity of the body and its direction can be an arbitrary function of time. Frequency response functions are derived by using the Carslaw-Jaeger theory, the Seo-Mura result, and the Fourier transform. General formulas are expressed in the form of time… More >

Abstract This study examines natural convection in a square enclosure filled with a water-Al₂O₃ nanofluid and subjected to a magnetic field. The side walls of the cavity have spatially varying sinusoidal temperature distributions. The horizontal walls are adiabatic. A Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is applied to solve the governing equations for fluid velocity and temperature. The following parameters and related ranges are considered: Rayleigh number of the base fluid, from Ra=10³ to 10⁶, Hartmann number from Ha=0 to 90, phase deviation (γ =0, π/4, π/2, 3π/4 and π) and solid volume fraction of the nanoparticles between ø = 0 and 6%.… More >
