摘要
Numerical heat-transfer and turbulent flow model for an industrial high-pressure gas quenching vacuum furnace was established to simulate the heating,holding and gas fan quenching of a low rhenium-bearing Ni-based single crystal turbine blade.The mesh of simplified furnace model was built using finite volume method and the boundary conditions were set up according to the practical process.Simulation results show that the turbine blade geometry and the mutual shielding among blades have significant influence on the uniformity of the temperature distribution.The temperature distribution at sharp corner,thin wall and corner part is higher than that at thick wall part of blade during heating,and the isotherms show a toroidal line to the center of thick wall.The temperature of sheltered units is lower than that of the remaining part of blade.When there is no shelteration among multiple blades,the temperature distribution for all blades is almost identical.The fluid velocity field,temperature field and cooling curves of the single and multiple turbine blades during gas fan quenching were also simulated.Modeling results indicate that the loading tray,free outlet and the location of turbine blades have important influences on the flow field.The high-speed gas flows out from the nozzle is divided by loading tray,and the free outlet enhanced the two vortex flow at the end of the furnace door.The closer the blade is to the exhaust outlet and the nozzle,the greater the flow velocity is and the more adequate the flow is.The blade geometry has an effect on the cooling for single blade and multiple blades during gas fan quenching,and the effects in double layers differs from that in single layer.For single blade,the cooing rate at thin-walled part is lower than that at thick-walled part,the cooling rate at sharp corner is greater than that at tenon and blade platform,and the temperature at regions close to the internal position is decreased more slowly than that close to the surface.For multiple blades in single layer,the tempe
