The use of a hot film anemometer to measure velocities below five cm/sec in mercury

Creator:

Hurt, John Calvin

Abstract:

A constant temperature anemometer, utilizing quartz coated hot film probes, was used to measure velocities from .1 to 5 cm/sec. The effects on anemometer performance due to time, reimmersion, and metallic sensor coatings were examinated by repeated calibrations of the probes. Contrary to previous published results, calibration change due to...

An experimental investigation of natural convection heat transfer from vertical flat plates in mercury

Creator:

White, Donald Henry

Abstract:

Heat transfer from a vertical flat plate in an infinite pool of mercury was investigated. Velocity profiles were measured with a hot-film anemometer and simultaneous temperature profiles measured with thermocouples in this low Prandtl number liquid metal. Constant heat flux plates at Grashof numbers of 9 x 10⁸ and 4...
