Numerical modeling of heat transfer during spark plasma sintering of titanium carbide

B4C Composites with a TiB2-C Core–Shell Microstructure Produced by Self-Propagating High-Temperature Synthesis-Assisted Spark Plasma Sintering

“…The thermal and electrical properties of TiB 2 , C, and B 4 C for the samples are retrieved from the literature. − A steady-state model of temperature distributions within the SPS-die was then created using the finite element analysis method through ANSYS software. The mathematical model used for thermoelectrical simulation is given as follows, and a similar methodology to the successful prior modeling studies. ,, …”

“…Moreover, the thermal conductivity of the graphite die has been estimated by modeling of the resistor in order to match the experimentally recorded temperature profile and compared with the Wiedmann–Franz law based on the resistivity values with respect to temperature. The thermal and electrical properties of TiB 2 , C, and B 4 C for the samples are retrieved from the literature. − A steady-state model of temperature distributions within the SPS-die was then created using the finite element analysis method through ANSYS software.

Thermal conductivity, viscosity and heat transfer process in nanofluids: A critical review

“…Also, there are other factors such as viscosity that are critically related to the pumping power of nanofluid. Although there are a lot of experimental studies of the nanofluids behavior, numerical methods are still a strong tool to obtain detailed information about the investigated phenomenon and have wide applications in heat and mass transfer, biomechanics, and solid mechanics [36,37,46,[38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45].…”

Microstructure and thermoelectric properties of Al-doped ZnO ceramic prepared by spark plasma sintering

“…Dur i ng SPS the thermal distribution is detem1ined by the current density that has a great influence on the grain size, concentt•ation of in1purity phases (e.g ZnA1 2 O 4 ) and dislocation defects [42][43][44]. For instance, sintering with high current density in Al-doped ZnO ceranucs contt'ibutes to refined grain size and enhanced concentt•ation of in1purity phase, ZnAl2O4 [42).…”
