Study on Heat Transfer Phenomena between the Combustion Flow Field and the Heating Plate during Line Heating Process (3rd Report)

Abstract

The transient 3-dimensional temperature distribution within the gas flame during line heating is measured in detail by a high performance L. I. F. measurement system. It has been found that the relative distribution of gas temperature around the torch is almost the same as that in spot heating. It has also been found that this relative distribution is almost unchanged regardless of the temperature increase in the steel plate. Thease results lead us to a new hypothesis that the relative distributions of gas temperature and local heat transfer coefficient around the torch remain unchanged and they are almost the same as those in spot heating during line heating process. A new method of heat input estimation for line heating process based on this hypothesis has been propounded.
