Effect of Processing Parameters on Heat Transfer Performance of the Heat-Pipe Grinding Wheel

Article Preview

Abstract:

Heat transfer performance of the heat-pipe grinding wheel (HPGW) is mainly depended on the heat pipe in the wheel. In this paper, a basal body of HPGW was developed and a heat transfer experiment was performed to study the effect of the parameters of the heat pipe such as liquid filling ratio and rotating speed on the heat transfer performance of the HPGW. Results show that the heat transfer performance decreases if the liquid filling rate is too large or too small under the same heat source intensity and the optimal liquid filling rate is about 35% of the volume inside the heat pipe. The heat transfer performance of the HPGW is enhanced with the increasing of the rotating speed. The analysis of the results also shows that the heat pipe in the HPGW can play a great role on enhancing the heat transfer in the grinding zone with suitable processing parameters.
