Conduction thermique

Résumé

La conduction thermique (ou diffusion thermique) est un mode de transfert thermique provoqué par une différence de température entre deux régions d'un même milieu, ou entre deux milieux en contact, et se réalisant sans déplacement global de matière (à l'échelle macroscopique) par opposition à la convection qui est un autre mode de transfert thermique. Elle peut s'interpréter comme la transmission de proche en proche de l'agitation thermique : un atome (ou une molécule) cède une partie de son énergie cinétique à l'atome voisin. La conduction thermique est un processus de transport de l'énergie interne lié à l'agitation moléculaire et dû à une hétérogénéité du milieu à l'échelle macroscopique. C'est un phénomène irréversible analogue au phénomène de diffusion. Dans les fluides (liquides et gaz) ce transport d'énergie résulte au niveau microscopique de l'anisotropie de la fonction de distribution des vitesses. Dans les solides, la conduction thermique est assurée c

Defect formation and mitigation during laser powder bed fusion of copper

Carl Tore Viktor Lindström

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a group of processing technologies which has the potential to revolutionize manufacturing by allowing easy manufacturing of complex shapes and small series. One AM-method which is of high interest for processing of metals is laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), where a powerful laser is used to melt powder in a layer-by-layer fashion into a consolidated part.Many defects can form during LPBF processing, but copper, copper alloys, and similar metals are particularly prone to the formation of pores.The reason why these metals tend to have these defects is the high reflectivity decreasing the effective energy input, and the high thermal conductivity transporting the absorbed energy away. Several ways of decreasing the pore formation tendency are known: increasing the power, increasing the absorptivity, and alloying to decrease thermal conductivity.The relative effectiveness of these strategies are however not known, making it difficult to choose the correct strategy for the different industrial applications of these metals.In this thesis a simple analytical model for predicting the occurrence of these defects is proposed, allowing a lowest possible processing power given the material properties to be estimated. The model agrees well with experiments, and can be used to predict the transition from so called balling mode processing to conduction mode processing, and for qualitative analysis of different processing strategies. Two strategies of decreasing the porosity are proposed and tested: coating of the powder with an absorbing layer and processing with a green laser, which is mor e strongly absorbed by copper than the conventional IR-lasers.The copper powder was coated with thin layers of tin and nickel using a simple and cheap immersion deposition method, and it is shown that the amount of porosity is decreased more than can be expected of the alloying alone, showing both that the method is working and that laser interaction with the solid is important for the heat balance of the system.The interaction with the solid is shown through computational fluid dynamics simulations to arise from periodic fluctuations of the molten metal which cause laser light to be reflected forward, pre-heating the powder bed.The preheating is larger the higher the solid absorptivity is, explaining the porosity decrease when using coated powders, and shows that processing using a green laser increase the laser coupling more than the absorptivity of the liquid would.Single line tracks made from fine 5 µm pure copper with a green laser source show that the desired conduction mode melting can be achieved at a power below 70 W, an order of magnitude lower than what is needed for processing of the conventionally used 45 µm powder with an IR-laser.

Numerical Modeling of Annular Laminar Film Condensation in Circular and Non-Circular Micro-Channels under Normal and Micro-Gravity

Stefano Nebuloni

A theoretical and numerical model to predict film condensation heat transfer in mini, micro and ultra micro-channels of different internal shapes is presented in this thesis. The model is based on a finite volume formulation of the Navier-Stokes and energy equations and it includes the contributions of the unsteady terms, surface tension, axial shear stresses, gravitational forces and wall thermal conduction. Notably, interphase mass transfer and near-to-wall effects (disjoining pressure) are also included. This model has been validated versus various benchmark cases and versus published experimental results from three different laboratories, predicting micro-channel heat transfer data with an average error of 20 % or better. The conjugate heat transfer problem arising from the coupling between the thin film fluid dynamics, the heat transfer in the condensing fluid and the heat conduction in the channel wall has been studied and analyzed. The work has focused on the effects of three external wall boundary conditions: a uniform wall temperature, a non uniform wall heat flux and single-phase convective cooling. The thermal axial and peripheral conduction occurring in the wall of the channel can affect the behavior of the condensate film, not only because it redistributes the heat, but also because the annular laminar film condensation process is dependent on the local saturation to wall temperature difference. When moving from mini to micro and ultra-micro channels, the results shows that the axial conduction effects can become very important in the prediction of the wall temperature profile and they can not be ignored. Under these conditions, the overall performances of the heat exchanger become dependent not only on the fluid properties and the operative conditions but also on the geometry and wall material. Results obtained for steady state conditions are presented for circular, elliptical and flattened shape cross sections for R-134a and ammonia, for hydraulic diameters between 10 µm and 3 mm. Microscale condensation finds applications in heat pipes and compact heat exchangers for electronic equipment or spacecraft thermal control, in automotive condensers, in residential air conditioning and in refrigeration applications: the influence of the steady or unsteady gravitational field and of the inertia forces on the flow field and consequently on the heat transfer performances is investigated allowing the model to be applied as a design and optimization tool for enhanced heat exchangers.

The Lucerne University of Applied Sciences has been analysing and monitoring the low- temperature district heating and cooling network (LTN) “Suurstoffi” since 2012. The analysis showed that heating demand was twice as high as expected. On the other hand, waste heat from free cooling was much lower than expected. The higher heating demand and the lower heat recovery combined resulted in a negative energy balance and hence in an average temperature decrease of the ground storage over the last two years. First of all, a pellet oven was installed as an interim solution in order to supply additional heat to the LTN. Secondly, direct electric heating was used to support the domestic hot water production in order to reduce the energy demand out of the LTN. These temporary measures were only set up until the first part of the planned hybrid solar panels (PVT) were taken into operation in summer 2014. The upcoming data of the monitored summer 2015 will help taking the decision if the temporary measures have to be extended and if additional PVT panels need to be installed. So far, the measured electricity demand to operate the LTN and the connected heat pumps was more than twice as high as expected. This is mainly due to the high electricity demand for temporary electrical heating for domestic hot water, circulation pumps and heat pumps. Thanks to the monitoring, hydraulic shortcoming, which caused the high electrical consumption of the circulation pumps, could be identified. The heat pumps consumed more electricity than planned due to the excess space heating demand and domestic hot water of the consumers. If, in addition to the electricity demand for the heat pumps, the electricity demand of the circulation pumps is taken into account, the overall network efficiency (yearly COP measured = 4.6) is lower than expected (yearly COP planned = 6.8). As a result of the monitoring analysis over the last two years, the following outputs and outcomes could be provided:

The real efficiency of the thermal network has been calculated and benchmarked
Design mistakes have been identified and guidelines for planning have been developed
The energy efficiency has been improved by optimizing the system operation
The accuracy of the monitoring has been improved
The influence of the user on the energy efficiency has been quantified.
