[0040] Example 3

[0041] Using the hot rolling roll of Example 1, through the finite element method, the contour map of the roll surface temperature distribution of the hot rolling roll after reaching the steady state is simulated and analyzed. The thermal-fluid-solid coupling analysis of the hot rolling roll is carried out using Fluent software, and the relevant analysis settings are shown in Table 1 below:

[0042] Table 1 Parameters for thermal-fluid-solid coupling analysis of hot rolling roll using Fluent software

[0043]

[0044] Considering the convective heat transfer between the hot rolling roll due to its rotation and the air, and the contact heat transfer between the hot rolling roll and the bearing, the calculation of the heat transfer coefficients for these two heat transfer methods is as follows:

[0045] Calculation of convective heat transfer:

[0046] The Dittus - Boelter equation is used (applicable range: Reynolds number Re = 10 3 ~10 6 )

[0047]

[0048] For convective heat transfer, m and n generally take 0.6 and 0.4, and C takes 0.3;

[0049]

[0050] The Nusselt number is obtained as 239.16.

[0051] Therefore, the convective heat transfer coefficient is

[0052]

[0053] Calculation of contact heat transfer:

[0054] It is assumed that the hot rolling roll and the bearing are in full contact, and the contact distance between the bearing and the hot rolling roll is 0.1 mm.

[0055] The calculation formula for the contact heat transfer coefficient is

[0056]

[0057] The thermal conductivity of the hot rolling roll (9Cr3Mo) is 25 W / (m·K), so the contact heat transfer coefficient is

[0058]

[0059] Taking the above boundary conditions as the input of the analysis, a steady-state thermo-fluid-solid coupling analysis is carried out on the hot rolling roll. The analysis results show that: after reaching the steady state, as Figure 6 shown, the temperature in the roll pressure area of the hot rolling roll basically maintains at 383K, that is, 110°C.

[0060] The roll surface temperature results of the hot rolling roll are extracted separately. As Figure 7 shown, the highest temperature of the hot rolling roll is 108.79°C, the lowest temperature is 108.18°C, the temperature consistency is 0.61°C, and the temperature difference on the roll surface is controlled within 1°C. Through simulation analysis, the uniform distribution of the flow velocity inside the roll surface flow channel is verified, which further ensures the temperature consistency of the roll surface and helps to improve the quality and consistency of lithium battery sheets.
