The effects of mass flow rate and subchannel configuration on
the turbulent interchange between adjacent subchannel in simulated
rod bundle were investigated.
The simulated rod bundle was made by arranging seven 1.913 cm
diameter acrylic plastic rods in an equilateral triangular pattern in a
tube 8.89 cm inside diameter.
The...
The purpose of this research was to study the effect of capillary
tube dimensions on the apparent viscosity of an unstable dispersion
of two immiscible liquids. The study was limited to laminar
flow at a constant temperature.
The dispersions were composed of a commercial solvent,
Shellsolv 360, manufactured by the...
Friction factors were measured for water flowing in ducts made
up of two rods held between two flat plates. Three rod diameters of
0.50, 1.00 and 1.50 inches were used. The spacings between rods
varied from 0.0 to 0.32 inch. It was found that the concept of
hydraulic diameter was...
Drop size distributions produced by the turbulent pipe flow of
dispersions of immiscible liquids were measured photographically.
A mathematical model was developed which predicted both the shape
of the experimentally observed distributions and the experimentally
observed kinetics of the breakup process.
The mutually saturated water and organic phases were pumped...
Turbulent mixing across adjacent subchannels in packed rod
bundles was studied using conductivity measurement and sodium
chloride solution as the tracer. Single phase water was the fluid
investigated.
The packed rod bundles were seven stainless steel tubes,
1.905 cm in diameter and 152.4 cm long, arranged in hexagonal close-packed
configuration...
Heat transfer to moving packed beds of solids has been studied
extensively but predictions are usually specific to the experimenter's
own equipment. In order to obtain a more general predictive equation,
the heat transfer coefficient was measured for a single vertical tube
immersed in a moving packed bed of glass...
