(21EME15) MODULE-2 NOTES, ENGINEERING MATERIALS, JOINING PROCESS, HEAT TRANSFER APPLICATIONS, , could be AC or DC, the electrode could be consumable or non-consumable and a filler material may or may not, be used., , GAS WELDING: Gas welding is a fusion welding process. Here the heat is generated by the combustion of, oxygen or air and a gas (such as acetylene, hydrogen, butane, methane petroleum gas, etc) is used to join metals., A strong flame is produced when the mixture of gases are ignited. This flame has a very high temperature which, melts and fuses the metal parts. The quantities of gases are to be regulated for controlling the weld flame. A filler, metal rod is used to supply molten metal at the joint. It is used for repair work, for joining thin walled parts of, steel and non-ferrous alloys.Two familiar fuel gases used in gas welding are:, ➢ Mixture of oxygen and acetylene gas – called oxy-acetylene welding process. (upto 3200oC), ➢ Mixture of oxygen and hydrogen gas – called oxy-hydrogen welding process.( 2500oC)., Oxy-acetylene Gas welding: When the acetylene is mixed with oxygen in correct proportion and ignited a, flame is produced. The flame will have a temperature of about 3200oC. A gas torch is used for the, purpose. Acetylene gas is let out through the torch and ignited first. The gas catches fire and a flame is, produced. Oxygen is then let out to sustain the flame. By regulating the control valves the quantities of, both the gases can be adjusted, so that the desired flame is produced., Acetylene gas has more available carbon (92.3 %) and hydrogen (7.7 %) by weight. The heat is released, when the carbon breaks away from hydrogen to combine with O2 and burn. The chemical reaction involved in, burning of acetylene is 2C2H2 + 5O2 = 4CO2 + 2H2O + Heat, Operation: The equipment consists of two large cylinders: one containing oxygen at high pressure and the other, containing acetylene gas. Pressure regulators are fitted on the respective cylinders to control the pressure of, the gas to the welding torch. A welding torch having controlling knobs which mixes both oxygen and, acetylene in proper proportions and burn the mixture. A spark ignites the mixture at its tip. The resulting, flame at the tip having a temperature of 3200oC which is sufficient enough to melt the work piece. A slight, gap usually exists between the two work piece, a filler metal is used to supply the additional material to fill, the gap., , Dept. of Mechanical Engg., BKIT, Bhalki,, , Dr.Rajashekar Matpathi, M.E, Design ,Ph.D, , 12

Flame temperature is less than the arc temperature., 3. Acetylene gas is highly explosive and expensive., Applications: For joining thin section. Most of the ferrous & non-ferrous can be gas welded. Automotive &, aircraft industries in sheet metal joining., TYPES OF GAS FLAMES: Flame is established by burning of the two gases mixture at the outlet of blow, pipe or torch. The proportion of gasses in the mixture is controlled by controlling the flow rate of each of the two, gasses. Here, it should be clear that burning of acetylene generates heat and oxygen only supports acetylene in, burning. Insufficient supply of oxygen leaves acetylene unburnt in atmosphere creating pollution and adding cost, of waste acetylene.Three types of flames can be produced. Fig. shows the types of flame., , 1.Neutral Flame : (Oxygen : Acetylene - 1:1):Approximate volumes of gases are in equal proportions., Temperature of the flame is about 3300oC. Flame is light blue in colour. It is surrounded by outer flame produced, by the combination of oxygen and Co, H2 in the inner zone.

This type of flame is used for welding mild steel, cast iron, copper aluminium and, stainless steel. This is the correct flame for welding., 2.Oxidising Flame : (Oxygen : Acetylene - 1.5:1) After establishing neutral flame, if the oxygen content, is further increased the resulting flame is oxidising in nature.The flame will be small short cone, dark blue in, colour and more pointed than in the first case. The outer envelope is much shorter than the first.The temperature, rise is as high as 3480oC.The excess oxygen at high temperature tends to combine with many metals to form hard,, brittle low strength oxides. This type of flame finds limited use in welding.A slightly oxidising flame is used in, welding copper base alloys, zinc base alloys., 3.Reducing flame : (Oxygen : Acetylene - 1:1.5)After establishing neutral flame, if the volume of, acetylene gas is increased then the resulting flame is reducing in nature. The outer flame envelope is longer than, that of neutral flame and is usually much brighter. A reducing flame does not completely consume the available, carbon, therefore the temperature is lower and the un-consumed carbon is forced into the molten metal. A, reducing flame ensures the absence of oxidation, metals that tend to absorb carbon should not be welded with this, flame. Ex. Non-ferrous, high carbon steels. A carburizing flame contains excess acetylene than a reducing flame., , INERT GAS SHIELDED WELDING (TIG AND MIG): In any type of welding we require flux to, avoid oxidation of weldment to maintain proper strength of the joint. In this regard, to keep the atmospheric air, away from the welding pool, inert gases like argon, helium, carbon dioxide, are used for surrounding the arc to, keep atmosphere away. It not only results in production of sound weld but also enables welding of such metals, which are otherwise difficult to weld. Important techniques of this type of welding are Tungsten Inert gas and, Metal inert gas welding., , TIG Welding :This is similar to arc welding. Additionally, it requires a cylinder of inert gas, valve, pressure, regulator and hose pipe with sprayer to spray inert gas in the welding pool. A non-consumable tungsten electrode, is used to establish arc. Sometimes inert gas sprayer is also mounted in the electrode holder. As per the, requirement additional filler metal can be provided from the outside to make up the joint. This is suitable for, welding of most of the metal and alloys except lead and zinc due to their very low melting point. TIG welding is, suitable for high quality welding., , TIG Welding/ Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), , MIG Welding, , MIG Welding: This is similar to TIG welding. At the place of non-consumable tungsten electrode, a, consumable metal electrode is used in the form of continuously fed metal wire. The electrode wire and inert gas, are fed through welding gun. Only DC is recommended for this type of welding giving positive polarity to, electrode wire. Feeding speed of electrode wire is adjusted according to the welding speed.

Conduction: The process in which heat flows from solid objects with higher temperature to objects with lower, temperature. An area of higher kinetic energy transfers thermal energy towards the lower kinetic energy area. Highspeed particles clash with particles moving at a slow speed, as a result, slow speed particles increase their kinetic, energy. This is a typical form of heat transfer and takes place through physical contact., , Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, BKIT, Bhalki,, , Dr.Rajashekar Matpathi, M.E,Design Ph.D, , 1

Radiation is the transfer of energy, , by electromagnetic waves which carry away the energy from the emitting body. Thermal radiations are referred to, as radiant heat. Radiation takes place through a vacuum or transparent medium which can be either solid or liquid., Thermal radiation is the result of the random motion of molecules in the matter.

ELEMENTS OF MECHANICAL ENGG. (21EME15) MODULE-2 NOTES, and protons is responsible for the emission of electromagnetic radiation. Let us know more about radiation heat, transfer. Electromagnetic radiations are emitted through the movement of charged electrons and protons. Radiation, heat transfer is measured by the device known as thermocouple. Thermocouple is used for measuring the temperature. In this, device sometimes, error takes place while measuring the temperature through radiation heat transfer., , Radiation Examples:, • Microwave radiation emitted in the oven is an example of radiation., • UV rays coming from the sun is an example of radiation., The release of alpha particles during the decaying of Uranium-238 into Thorium-234 is an example of radiation, Radiation Equation: As temperature rises, the wavelengths in the spectra of the radiation emitted, decreases and shorter wavelengths radiations are emitted. Thermal radiation can be calculated by, Stefan-Boltzmann law: P = e ∙ σ ∙ A· (Tr – Tc)4, Where,, •, •, •, •, •, , P is the net power of radiation, A is the area of radiation, Tr is the radiator temperature, Tc is the surrounding temperature, e is emissivity and σ is Stefan’s constant, , Define effectiveness of heat exchangers? How are heat exchangers classified?, The effectiveness (ϵ) of a heat exchanger is defined as the ratio of the actual heat transfer to the maximum possible, heat transfer. Calculating heat exchanger effectiveness allows engineers to predict how a given heat exchanger will, perform a new job. Essentially, it helps engineers predict the stream outlet temperatures without a trial-and-error, solution that would otherwise be necessary., Heat exchangers also can be classified according to their construction features. For example, there are tubular,, plate, plate-fin, tube-fin, and regenerative exchangers. An important performance factor for all heat exchangers, is the amount of heat transfer surface area within the volume of the heat exchanger. Plate exchanger is the most, efficient due to turbulent flow on both sides., Because engines produce heat, a cooling system which consists of a radiator is employed to keep their working, temperature normal. Radiators are heat exchangers used for cooling internal combustion engines, usually in, automobiles. Other engines like piston aircraft engines, railway locomotives, motorcycles, stationary generators as, well as some other similar engines., What is Radiator ? Major parts of radiators and their functions, Radiators are common types of heat exchangers designed to transfer heat from hot coolant to the atmosphere. This, is achieved by a coolant fan that sucking the heat the radiator through a blown air to the atmosphere., , ., , Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, BKIT, Bhalki,, , Dr.Rajashekar Matpathi, M.E,Design Ph.D, , 3

ELEMENTS OF MECHANICAL ENGG. (21EME15) MODULE-2 NOTES, The upper tank is connected to the water outlet or outlets from the engine jacket by a hose pipe, and, The lower tank is connected to the jacket inlet through the water pump., The core is a radiating element, which cools the water. The core is composed of a large number of individual air, cells which are surrounded by water. Because of its appearance, the cellular type usually is known as a honeycomb, radiator, especially when the cells in front are hexagonal in form., Radiator Cap: As the coolant in the radiator is always under pressure, which helps to keep the coolant much hotter, under without boiling., In radiator, the coolant flows from the inlet to the outlet through many tubes mounted in a parallel arrangement. The, hot water enters the radiator through the inlet port. And a fan is attached on behind the radiator to cool down the hot, water in the tubes. The fan blows the air and cools down the water. So the water is going to come out cooler than it, entered before and then go back to the engine., , What is Condenser? Discuss classification of condensers:, A refrigerator's condenser is part of the system that removes heat from its interior. Combined with the, evaporator unit within the fridge, the condenser removes heat from inside the refrigerator and transfers it to the, outside of the unit, Based on the external fluid, condensers can be classified as:, a) Air cooled condensers, b) Water cooled condensers, and, c) Evaporative condensers, Air-cooled condensers: As the name implies, in air-cooled condensers air is the external fluid, i.e., the refrigerant, rejects heat to air flowing over the condenser. Air-cooled condensers can be further classified into natural convection, type or forced convection type. Natural convection type: In natural convection type, heat transfer from the condenser, is by buoyancy induced natural convection and radiation. Since the flow rate of air is small and the radiation heat, transfer is also not very high, the combined heat transfer coefficient in these condensers is small. As a result, a, relatively large condensing surface is required to reject a given amount of heat. Hence these condensers are used for, small capacity refrigeration systems like household refrigerators and freezers. The natural convection type, condensers are either plate surface type or finned tube type. In plate surface type condensers used in small, refrigerators and freezers, the refrigerant carrying tubes are attached to the outer walls of the refrigerator., , Wire-and-tube type condenser, Plate fin-and-tube type condenser, In the older designs, the condenser tube (in serpentine form) was attached to a plate and the plate was mounted on, the backside of the refrigerator. The plate acted like a fin and warm air rose up along it. In another common design,, thin wires are welded to the serpentine tube coil. The wires act like fins for increased heat transfer area. Fig. shows, the schematic of a wire-and-tube type condenser commonly used in domestic refrigerators. Regardless of the type,, refrigerators employing natural convection condenser should be located in such a way that air can flow freely over, the condenser surface., Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, BKIT, Bhalki,, , Dr.Rajashekar Matpathi, M.E,Design Ph.D, , 4

ELEMENTS OF MECHANICAL ENGG. (21EME15) MODULE-2 NOTES, What is Evaporator Classify Types of Evaporators, An evaporator is a device used in a process to turn the liquid form of a chemical substance, such as water, into its, gaseous form - vapor. In this process, the liquid is evaporated, or vaporized. The evaporator works the opposite, of the condenser, here refrigerant liquid is converted to gas, absorbing heat from the air in the compartment., When the liquid refrigerant reaches the evaporator, its pressure has been reduced, dissipating its heat content and, making it much cooler than the fan air flowing around it., 1.

Discuss passive & Active Cooling, The reason both the hard-working computer and the lightbulb get hot and why any electronic device gets hot is, due to electrical resistance. Electrical resistance occurs when electrons move through a material as a result of a, charge imbalance. The movement of these electrons through a material creates friction between the moving, electrons and the (usually) crystalline structure of the material. This large amount of friction results in an excess, of heat and often requires secondary cooling methods., In modern electronics, the highest thermal energy producing components are LEDs and processing units (such, as GPUs, CPUs, and TPUs), which are made using semiconductor materials. You can also find high thermal, energy in voltage changing devices such as: Resistors, Transformers, Converters, Inverters, CPU heat generation―and the systems that help control these chips' temperatures―is what causes the fan, cooling system of a laptop to initiate and run during operation., TYPES OF ELECTRONIC COOLING, Electronics cooling techniques are classified into two types : 1. Passive cooling, 2. Active cooling, , Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, BKIT, Bhalki,, , Dr.Rajashekar Matpathi, M.E,Design Ph.D, , 5

ELEMENTS OF MECHANICAL ENGG. (21EME15) MODULE-2 NOTES, Passive Cooling in Electronics, Passive design is a system or structure that directly, uses natural energy such as sunlight, wind,, temperature differences or gravity to achieve a, result without electricity or fuel, More energy efficient, Less maintenance cost,, Passive cooling decreases the power consumed by, the devices in a thermal zone;, Heat sinks are one of the most simple and common, thermal, management, accessories, These, components effectively move thermal energy away, from a heat source, throughout a thermally, conductive material, and into the ambient, environment. Most heat sink applications are, passive,, utilizing, natural, heat, transfer, fundamentals., Examples:- Gaming devices, Televisions, tablets,, Automobiles, all advanced computer applications, Heat pipes and Vapor chambers utilize a sealed, evaporation and condensation cycle, which, requires no secondary energy and is considered a, passive cooling technology. six heat pipes that, move energy away from a CPU heat spreader to a, horizontal-finned heat sink., Thermal grease is extremely common in both active, and passive cooling designs., , Active Cooling in Electronics, Active design is a system or structure that uses electricity, Active cooling requires the use of energy specifically, dedicated to cooling the component, Less energy efficient, high maintenance cost,, Active cooling increases power consumption since the, operating system turns on a cooling fan., Heat sink's top horizontal plane features four throughholes. If the heat sink needs additional thermal cooling, capability, you can use these four holes to mount a cooling, fan. Adding a properly sized fan to this heat sink will force, air across the component and allow for greater thermal, transfer. since the fan requires power, this thermal, management system now becomes an active cooling, system, NVIDIA Jetson Nano comes assembled with a heat sink, attached to the development board, right out of the box., This fanned-fin heat sink will sufficiently dissipate the, energy away from the GPU and allow the development, board to run correctly. Thermal grease technology acts as, a thermal interface between solid heat transfer, accessories. Its most common application is between an, IC's heat spreader and the heat sink that is cooling the chip., , Advanced Electronics Cooling Technology, There are various other novel and advanced forms of electronics cooling as well, most of which you'll find less, frequently in common electronics. These include:, - Liquid cooling devices, which pump chilled liquid through specialized CPU-mounted heat spreaders., - Liquid solutions, such as 3M's Novec™ Engineered Fluids, that are designed for full computer assemblies to be, submerged in.These fluids are not electrically conductive, but they have excellent heat transfer capabilities and are, only used in extreme computing applications., Hybrid Cooling: The performance of a hybrid phase-change material (PCM)-based cooling system is investigated, experimentally to meet the requirement of power surge effect in electronics equipment. The normal cooling operation, of the electronic equipment for a long period using heat sink is also studied. The thermal performance of the hybrid, heat sink is studied with three different PCMs: Eicosane, 1-Hexadecanol, and Paraffin. The hybrid PCM-based heat, sink is studied for different orientations of PCM and convective cooling area in the heat sink to protect electronic, components from the potentially dangerous and disruptive power surge operations. The performance of the hybrid, PCM-based heat sinks is compared with conventional air-based heat sinks with and without a fan. In case of hybrid, PCM-based heat sink, the fan is operated at 6 V all the time irrespective of the normal or power surge operation., Whereas, in case of air-based heat sink (without PCM), the fan is operated at 12 V during power surging and at 6 V, during normal operation time. It is observed that the hybrid PCM-based heat sink with fan performs better than, conventional air-based heat sink with fan during surging operation by reducing the peak temperature of 5.6 °C., However, their performance is comparable during post-surging operation. Thus, the power consumption, as well as the, noise, gets reduced using hybrid PCM-based heat sink with fan during surging operation. Besides, the life of fan used, in hybrid PCM-based heat sink increases, which in turn increases the service life of electronic components., , Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, BKIT, Bhalki,, , Dr.Rajashekar Matpathi, M.E,Design Ph.D, , 6
