Abstract:

Non-Fourier heat transfer analysis of functionally graded (FG) spherical shells subjected to the radiative-convective boundary conditions at their inner and outer surfaces are presented. It is assumed that the material properties have continuous variations along the thickness direction. The incremental differential quadrature method (IDQM) as an accurate and computationally efficient numerical tool is adopted to discretize the governing differential equations in both the spatial and temporal domain. The fast rate of convergence behavior and accuracy of the method is investigated through different examples and also, the results are compared with those available in the open literature wherever possible. Comparison studies between the results of IDQM and Runge-Kutta method (RKM) are also performed to establish the superior computational efficiency of the IDQM with respect to RKM. After validating the present formulation and method of solution, the influences of different parameters on the temperature time history and temperature distribution of the FG spherical shells are investigated. It is shown that the radiation boundary conditions decrease the period of oscillation of temperature time history. Also, it is observed that by increasing the non-Fourier time constant, the non-dimensional temperature oscillatory behavior increases. On the other hand, the present study reveals that the IDQM, as an accurate and practically efficient method, can be used for the analysis of different problems in the fields of the oil and petrochemical engineering in the future.

Buckling Analysis of Functionally Graded Shallow Spherical Shells Under External Hydrostatic Pressure

The aim of this paper is to determine the critical buckling load for simply supported thin shallow spherical shells made of functionally graded material (FGM) subjected to uniform external pressure. A metal-ceramic functionally graded (FG) shell with a power law distribution for volume fraction is considered, where its properties vary gradually through the shell thickness direction from pure me...

Meshless analysis of casting process considering non-Fourier heat transfer

Casting is considered as a major manufacturing process. Thermal analysis of a solidifying medium is of great importance for appropriate design of casting processes. The conventional governing equation of a solidifying medium is based on the Fourier heat conduction law, which does not account for the phase-lag between the heat flux and the temperature gradient. In this paper, the concept of phas...

Optimization of functionally graded metallic foam insulation under transient heat transfer conditions

The problem of minimizing the maximum temperature of a structure insulated by a functionally graded metal foam insulation under transient heat conduction is studied. First, the performance of insulation designed for steady-state conditions is compared with uniform solidity insulation. It is found that the optimum steady-state insulation performs poorly under transient conditions. Then, the maxi...
