The aim of this paper is the presentation of the method for thermal conductivity measurement and numerical modeling of temperature distribution in apparatus for measuring the thermal conductivity. Experimental studies will be carried out in transient state until the steady state heat conduction in apparatus is achieved. The calculated and measured temperature distribution will be compared. The time to steady state in apparatus for different samples will be estimated based on numerical and experimental results. The influence of the contact resistance between the sample and the measuring device will be analyzed.
The aim of this work is to calculate the effective area of a compressor recirculation valve. Analytical solution and numerical modeling for compressible flow through a valve will be presented. Critical parameters of flow will be determined. Numerical modeling will be performed using ANSYS FLUENT. The results of the numerical solution will be compared with the analytical solutions.
The elements subjected to high temperatures are exposed to phenomena such as the creep, where time-dependent properties of materials should be considered. Many devices of the steam boiler work in creep conditions, what limits the time of their work. The chosen thick-walled superheater header is exposed to a high temperature and pressure and therefore it should be designed according to the European Standards. In this article, the standard requirements for a component operating in creep conditions are presented, and the FEM analysis is performed. In the FEM analysis, the proposed creep equation is used based on the results obtained from experimental tests.
