Uniform Heating and Cooling of a Hollow Disc with Internal Water Channels

The paper deals with practical problem of uniform temperature of heated or cooled disc mass. It presents the influence of thermal insulation and of inlets/outlets positioning on temperature uniformity and on total energy consumption during working cycle. Together with essential balances of mass and energy there is used the method of flow numerical simulation. Results can be used for increasing of both productivity and thermal effectivity of observed equipment.
