Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier1768-1830 • Fourier’s Equation of Heat Conduction • Unsteady State Heat Conduction for Moving Materials www.exergen.com
Pierre Simon Marquis de LaPlace1749 -1827 • Laplace Transform Method of Solution • Converts Partial Differential Equation to Ordinary Differential Equation www.exergen.com
Francesco Pompei1948 - • New Method of Solution Leads to a General Equation for Non-Contact Temperature Monitoring of Internal Temperatures of Moving Materials www.exergen.com
Which simplifies to www.exergen.com
Deriving The Speed Boost Equation • Set the surface temperature equal to the center temperature, then the equation reduces to • Since K2/K1 is a function only of material properties and speed: www.exergen.com
The Speed Boost Equation The ratio can be formed, which then becomes: • General Equation for Non-Contact IR Temperature Monitoring of Internal Temperatures of Moving Materials is Combined with Surface Temperature • Leads to Uniform Material Temperature When Controlled via the Speed Boost Equation • Which Forces the Control System to Apply Heat at an Optimally Balanced Rate www.exergen.com
Applying The Speed Boost Equation www.exergen.com
Speed Boost Equation is Generally Linear for Most Applications 50 % Increase 25 25 50 Speed % Increase www.exergen.com
Implementing Speed Boost to Include Non-Linearities • Apply step-wise speed increases in accordance with speed boost equation, and renormalize at new operating condition to account for property changes. • For variable speed systems, program to follow the characteristic curve. Speed Changes Followed by Renormalization % Increase 50 25 25 50 Speed % Increase www.exergen.com
