Description

Chameleon-like super shell for heat conduction and heat convection

Technical Field

The invention belongs to the technical field of thermodynamics, and particularly relates to a chameleon-like super shell aiming at heat conduction and heat convection.

Background

Generally, objects have their own inherent properties (thermal conductivity, permeability … …) that are difficult to vary with environmental changes. This inherent property can lead to a problem: once some devices are designed, their properties are determined. This situation is not conducive to the development of intelligent, multifunctional devices, and can greatly limit their application range. In the design of the thermal metamaterial, this problem also exists, namely: the corresponding device must be designed according to the parameters of the environment.

Inspired by the chameleon phenomenon in the biology world, the invention aims to design a shell layer, so that equivalent parameters (equivalent thermal conductivity and equivalent magnetic conductivity) of the shell layer can also change along with the change of environmental parameters, and the shell layer is called as a chameleon-like super shell layer as the chameleon can change the self color according to the environmental color.

Disclosure of Invention

The invention aims to provide a chameleon-like super shell layer aiming at heat conduction and heat convection, which has a simple structure and excellent performance.

The allochroic dragon-like super shell aiming at heat conduction and heat convection comprises a shell, wherein equivalent parameters (equivalent thermal conductivity and equivalent permeability) of the shell can be changed along with the change of environmental temperature parameters. This phenomenon is similar to the phenomenon in biology in which chameleon changes color according to the environment, and is therefore called chameleon-like hyper-shell. The physical process of the shell device comprises a heat conduction process described by the Fourier law and a heat convection process described by the Darcy law, so that the device is suitable for the heat conduction and heat convection processes.

In the present invention, the thermal conductivity and permeability of the shell layer need to be designed. The thermal conductivity can regulate heat conduction, and the permeability can regulate heat convection. The chameleon-like phenomenon is realized by calculating equivalent parameters of a shell layer and finding out certain special conditions.

In the invention, the equivalent thermal conductivity and the equivalent permeability of the shell layer are respectively described by a Fourier law and a Darcy law, and are specifically explained as follows.

As shown in fig. 1, consider a microfluidic system where the flow of water through a porous medium transfers heat. Assume thermal conductivities of both core and background are κ₁＝(1-f)κ_s+fκ_f，κ_sIs the thermal conductivity of porous medium, kappa_fIs the water thermal conductivity, f is the porosity; permeability is sigma₁The thermal conductivity of the shell layer is anisotropicκ_rrFor radial thermal conductivity, κ_θθFor tangential thermal conductivity, the permeability is anisotropicσ_rrIs radial permeability, σ_θθIs the tangential permeability. I.e. the shell material is anisotropic (including thermal conductivity, permeability). Hereinafter, unless otherwise specified, anisotropy is expressed in cylindrical coordinates. Let the internal diameter of the shell be r₁Outer diameter of r₂. According to the requirement of the chameleon-like super shell, the equivalent parameters of the shell are required to be constantly equal to the parameters of the surrounding environment. Because the parameters of the shell layer and the environment are always equal, the equivalent parameters of the core-shell structure are also always equal to the parameters of the core, and the conversion into the mathematical language is that:

κ_e＝κ₁,σ_e＝σ₁， (1)

wherein, κ_eIs the equivalent thermal conductivity, σ, of the core-shell structure_eIs the equivalent permeability of the core-shell structure.

The problem then translates into calculating the equivalent thermal conductivity and equivalent permeability of the core-shell structure and finding certain specific conditions so that the requirements of equation (1) are met. The equivalent thermal conductivity and equivalent permeability for the core-shell structure can be calculated by the following method:

wherein the content of the first and second substances,is the area fraction of the nucleus that is,as to the degree of anisotropy of the thermal conductivity,the degree of anisotropy of permeability. According to the formula (2), some specific conditions need to be found outTo meet the requirement of the chameleon-like super shell layer,

this condition is:

κ_θθ＜＜κ₁＜＜κ_rr,σ_θθ＜＜σ₁＜＜σ_rr (3)

when the formula (3) is satisfied, the phenomenon of the chameleon-like super shell can be realized.

The invention has the advantages that:

(1) the invention can realize the intellectualization of the device;

(2) the invention has simple structure and parameters, and is simultaneously suitable for steady-state and unsteady-state processes;

(3) the invention is applicable to both thermal conduction and thermal convection processes.

Detailed Description

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific examples and drawings, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

FIG. 1 shows a schematic of a chameleon-like hyper-shell. By designing the parameters of the shell layer according to the formula (3), the equivalent thermal conductivity and the equivalent permeability of the shell layer can be changed along with the change of the parameters of the surrounding environment, as shown in fig. 2.

Fig. 3 shows the simulation results in the horizontal temperature field and the horizontal pressure field (the first and three columns show the temperature distribution and the second and four columns show the pressure distribution). The simulation used the commercial software COMSOL multiple thesics, which combines a heat conduction-convection module and a darcy's law module. As can be seen from the simulation: when the shell satisfies the formula (3), the equivalent parameters of the shell can be changed no matter what the environment around the shell is, so that the change of the external contour of the shell is not caused, as can be seen by comparing the external contours of the shells in the first row and the third row of fig. 3. However, a common shell cannot change with the change of the environmental parameters, which results in distortion of the isotherm outside the shell, as can be seen from the distorted isotherm outside the shell in the second row of fig. 3.

Furthermore, the shell can also accommodate more complex temperature and pressure fields. The first and second columns in fig. 4 show the simulation results of the horizontal temperature field and the vertical pressure. The two columns on the right in fig. 4 show the non-uniform temperature field and the non-uniform pressure field. Comparing that the temperature distribution and the pressure distribution outside the first and the third row shells in fig. 4 are completely consistent, it is demonstrated that the allochroic nylon-like super shell is also suitable for the non-uniform field. And the different temperature and pressure distributions outside the second row of shells in FIG. 4 show that the common shell has no adaptability to the environment, thus highlighting the advantages of the design of the present invention.

In addition, the circular chameleon-like super shell can be popularized to any shape, and the device can be designed to any shape by comparing the temperature distribution and the pressure distribution outside the first row and the third row of shells in fig. 5. Similarly, the common shell in the second row of FIG. 5 still does not allow for environmental compatibility.

The allochroic dragon super shell layers are all prepared from anisotropic materials. However, in practice, isotropic materials have wide applicability. Therefore, the metamorphosis-like super shell layers (see fig. 6) in the first row of fig. 1, fig. 2, fig. 3 and fig. 4 are also realized by using the layered structure of the two materials, and the simulation result verifies the design. Wherein the actual material corresponding to the material A can be carbon nanotubes, and the actual material corresponding to the material B can be nano aerogel.

Finally, we verified the transient results of the device, namely: the evolution of the temperature distribution over time. The results show that the temperature evolution outside the shells of the first and third rows in fig. 7 is completely consistent, illustrating the transient feasibility of the device.
