Purpose: Cryogenic engineering is gaining more and more interest in various industry sectors, which leads to an intensive search for effective solutions. The article presents the findings of mechanical testing conducted on glass-epoxy laminates at room temperature and after long- term contact with liquid nitrogen. Design/methodology/approach: To compare the impact properties and flexural strength, the samples were tested under cryogenic and room conditions, and then the fracture locations were identified using the Leica DVM6 microscope. The study brings value to the emerging field of cryogenic engineering by providing valuable information on the mechanical properties of glass-epoxy composites under cryogenic conditions. Findings: It has been found out that immersing the glass-epoxy composites into the Dewar had minimal influence on impact and flexural strength properties. The most noticeable changes were observed in the case of the EP_4_2 composite. The material consists of a solution of brominated epoxy resin in an organic solvent. It is used to produce laminates in electrical engineering and printed circuits in electronics, where it should exhibit excellent impact properties. Research limitations/implications: One of the prospective research directions is a thorough analysis of the mechanical properties of the developed composite materials during cryogenic cycles. Originality/value: The study aims to determine the effect of different compositions of glass fabric-reinforced resin with a weight of 205 g/m2 on the mechanical properties of the developed composite materials at both room temperature and after long-term exposure to liquid nitrogen. Those investigations serve as surveillance for developing of new material solutions directed towards cryogenic applications and are essential for subsequent stages of research.

In this work, an optimisation of mutual configuration of both HV and LV coils, and also air ducts cooling these parts in dry-type electrical transformer is presented. In the proposed algorithm, the hot-spot temperature is minimized using experimentally validated CFD model. The obtained results show that the optimized solution substantially reduces the maximum winding temperature comparing to a typical configuration of the actual devices.
A shape optimization of cooling ducts in try-type transformers using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Genetic Algorithm (GA) is presented in this paper. The GA algorithm was used to optimize the diameters of the ducts and both internal and external part of the HV and LV coils. The constraints in the optimization process were the minimum distance between HV and LV windings and total dimensions of the coils. Since the investigated transformer was a special unit, the objective function was to minimize the average/maximum temperature of the windings, and thus the coil power losses. Its value was determined a CFD model taking all three heat transfer mechanisms into consideration. Both coil anisotropic properties and coil power losses varied in each generated coil configuration. The results showed that the non-uniform positioning of the wires and air ducts can significantly improve the cooling conditions of the analyzed unit. In consequence, the coil losses were substantially reduced.

Purpose: In the work, there was investigated the possibility of an application of long-fibrous composite material as a based material for prototype of oesophageal prosthesis (tubular element) with the use of so called arms, using coiling, plaiting and winding techniques. Design/methodology/approach: Coiling, plaiting and winding techniques were used. As a reinforcement, aramid fibres bound with different types of so called silicone rubbers. Selection of winding parameters has been made in order to fabrication of prosthesis with appropriate mechanical parameters. Findings: Technological tests have given promising results. In the summary, comments and technological remarks are described. For prototype of prosthesis manufacturing, components, which in the form of composite materials are characterized by biocompatibility, have been used, that is medical silicone and aramid fibres. Research limitations/implications: The pilot investigation of fabricated prototypes of internal oesophageal prosthesis show that it is necessary to change the fabrication technology onto dry winding followed by closing obtained reinforcement in a mould and saturation with silicone. The idea is to get better silicone content and connected with it better elasticity and tightness of the prosthesis. Originality/value: Accepted method of winding is the most effective due to fabrication of prototypes of internal oesophageal prosthesis in laboratory. In industry, probably the better method will be plaiting, e.g.: as in the case of high-pressure hose of applied hydraulics.

This paper discusses a numerical model of the heat dissipation processes in an electrical transformer dipped into polymerised resin. The transformer is cooled by both natural convection (via the ambient air) and forced convection (via the water cooling system attached to one of the transformer casing walls). Two cases have been compared, i.e. the cooler connected to the bottom or the top wall of the transformer container, respectively. In order to improve the modelling of the natural convection problem, an independent geometrical model of the surrounding air was created and considered separately. The continuity of temperature and heat flux along the interface between the transformer and air was enforced by an iterative procedure. This procedure allowed one to calculate and then prescribe local heat fluxes to the external walls of the transformer. The numerical results obtained in this project have yielded information on the efficiency of the analysed cooling system.
W artykule przedstawiona została metoda określania położenia i kształtu frontu zmiany fazy na podstawie pomiarów temperatury w wybranych punktach części stałej wlewka. Przedstawiony problem jest przykładem geometrycznego zadania odwrotnego, w którego opisie matematycznym brakuje informacji na temat kształtu obszaru. W pracy geometryczne zadanie odwrotne sformułowano dla trójwymiarowego modelu ciągłego odlewania stopu aluminium. Algorytm odtwarzania kształtu frontu zmiany fazy oparto na analizie wrażliwości, a do jego modelowania wykorzystano powierzchnię Beziera. W zaproponowanej metodzie określenie wrażliwości odbywa się na drodze analitycznej poprzez rozwiązanie odpowiednio zdefiniowanego zadania bezpośredniego uzyskiwanego (poprzez różniczkowanie) z problemu przepływu ciepła dla ciągłego odlewania. Artykuł jest w pewnym sensie kontynuacją opublikowanej wcześniej pracy [5], dotyczącej odtwarzania warunków brzegowych w identycznym modelu i przy wykorzystaniu analogicznych metod.

In this paper, a method to determine both shape and location of the phase change front is presented. The retrieved quantities are obtained based on a temperature measured at selected internal points. The considered problem is an example of the geometry inverse problem. Its mathematical description is incomplete because the information about the shape of the body is either unknown or uncertain. The geometry inverse problem was formulated as a 3-D model of aluminium alloy continuous casting. The retrieving algorithm employed the sensitivity analysis, while the geometry of the estimated front is modelled by Bezier surface. The sensitivity is determined using the analytical method based on the solution of an appropriate direct problem obtained from relevant thermal problem of the continuous casting. The paper is a continuation of the work [5] in which the retrieving of boundary conditions for an identical model and using similar methods was discussed.

The paper presents a numerical thermal model of an encapsulated three-phase electrical transformer. The model is based on the multi-physical approach and involves heat transfer analysis coupled with the examination of specific power losses in the coils and the core using electromagnetic field analysis as well as determination of thermal stresses. The thermal boundary conditions (i. e. local heat fluxes) are determined by considering a numerical model of the surrounding air. Additionally, the device is cooled via radiation (from the external walls) and forced convection (a water cooling system). A few different configurations of the cooler and the heat pipes are also analyzed. Moreover, anisotropic material properties were applied for stranded coils and the core. A partial experimental validation of the model has shown that the temperature distribution within the transformer is more realistic and closer to the measurements when compared with the previous analysis limited to heat transfer problems only with uniform internal heat sources and isotropic material properties. The total heat transfer rate indicates that forced convection is the most important heat dissipation mechanism in this model. The significance of the water cooling system has also been established in calculations of crack presence in the model.

W artykule przedstawiono trójwymiarowe rozwiązanie numeryczne odwrotnego zadania brzegowego sformułowanego dla ciągłego odlewania aluminium. Głównym celem prezentowanego zadania była identyfikacja strumienia ciepła wzdłuż zewnętrznych ścian wlewka na podstawie pomiaru temperatury w kilku punktach wewnętrznych. Do modelowania procesu odlewania użyto oprogramowania komercyjnego wykorzystującego technikę entalpową, w której front zmiany fazy określany był na podstawie udziału fazy ciekłej. Rozwiązane w ten sposób zadanie bezpośrednie wykorzystywano zarówno w procedurze odwrotnej, jak i do numerycznego generowania pomiarów temperatury. W procedurze odwrotnej, do estymacji odtwarzanych warunków brzegowych, wykorzystano analizę wrażliwości. W praktyce dane pomiarowe zawsze są obarczone błędami, dlatego sprawdzono, w jakim stopniu zaburzenia te przenoszą się na dokładność odtworzenia strumieni ciepła. Badano także wpływ wielkości startowych na przebieg procesu iteracyjnego oraz na dokładność uzyskanych rezultatów. W obydwu testach, zaproponowany algorytm doprowadził do zadowalających wyników. Omówiona metoda rozwiązywania odwrotnego zadania brzegowego może zostać wykorzystana do identyfikacji warunków brzegowych, także w zastosowaniach przemysłowych.

Presented paper proposes an algorithm being an extension into 3D solution procedure developed for 2D boundary inverse problem. It discusses a numerical solution of the inverse boundary problem for a continuous casting process of aluminum alloy. The first task was to formulate a mathematical model and solve the direct heat transfer problem for a continuous casting using Fluent. The model served as a basis for the boundary inverse problem and was also employed to generate simulated temperature measurements for the application of the proposed inverse analysis algorithms. In the inverse heat transfer problem, the heat flux distribution along external walls of ingot is unknown. This means that the mathematical description is incomplete and needs to be supplemented, typically, by measurements. In the method presented design variables are modified in an iterative procedure on the basis of sensitivity analysis and comparison of the calculated in model temperatures and measured values. The iterative loops are repeated until the vector of estimated variables minimizes the objective function within a specified accuracy. The calculation of the sensitivity coefficients boils down to solving a set of direct problems similar to the thermal one. Each of these problems arise through differentiation of main thermal equation and corresponding boundary conditions with respect to the particular design variable determining the phase change front location. The boundary conditions along known boundaries are of the same type as in the original thermal problem, but homogeneous. The procedure developed for retrieving the cooling conditions in a continuous casting process turned out to be computationally very effective and independent on the starting value of the assumed boundary condition. A comparison of the measured and retrieved values showed a high accuracy of the computations. The satisfactory results were also obtained in calculations investigating the influence of the accuracy of measurements on the estimated heat fluxes. Some observations concerning the possibility of the calculation time reduction were also made.
