Efficient Part's Shape and Its Placement in Closed Space Under Thermal Energy Treatment

The paper investigates an approach for optimizing the placement of complex-shaped parts during thermal energy treatment to ensure a uniform distribution of specific heat flux across the part's surface.The study demonstrates that the problem of sparsest packing can be addressed by aligning the centers of gravity and the principal central axes of inertia of thin shells, representing the outer surface of the part and the inner surface of the working chamber.For scenarios where complete alignment is unfeasible, the proposed method suggests determining the part's position by partially aligning selected principal axes of inertia and specific coordinates of the centers of gravity.The research advances the equivalent chamber method, enhancing modeling accuracy by reducing the principal central moments of inertia of the shell of an equivalent part.This is achieved using an inversely proportional relationship between its area and the area of the original part.The proposed approach proves effective in achieving uniform heating of complex-shaped parts during thermal energy treatment.
