Implementation of the Axially Symmetrical and Three Dimensional Finite Element Models to the Determination of the Heat Transfer Coefficient Distribution on the Hot Plate Surface Cooled by the Water Spray Nozzle

Abstract:

Plate and strip hot rolling lines are equipped with water cooling systems used to control the deformed material temperature. This system has a great importance in the case of thermal - mechanical deformation of steel which is focused on formation a proper microstructure and mechanical properties. The desired rate of cooling is achieved by water spray or laminar cooling applied to the hot surface of a strip. The water flow rate and pressure can be changed in a wide range and it will result in a very different heat transfer from the cooled material to the cooling water. The suitable cooling rate and the deformed material temperature can be determined based on numerical simulations. In this case thermal boundary conditions have to be specified on the cooled surface. The determination of the heat transfer coefficient distribution in the area of the water spray nozzle would improve numerical simulations significantly. In the paper an attempt is made to determine the heat transfer coefficient distribution on the hot plate surface cooled by the water spray nozzle. In the inverse method direct axially symmetrical and three dimensional solutions to the plate temperature field have been implemented. The computation time and the achieved accuracy have been compared for five cases. The studied cases differed in the maximum value of the heat transfer coefficient in nozzle spray axis and its distribution in the cooling time.
