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...
The fouling characteristics of a desalted crude oil were investigated in a systematic
investigation. There are two main parts in this study, the dry bulk tests (dehydrated crude
oil) and the wet bulk tests (to which desalter brine was added). Three barrels of desalted
crude oil provided by Amoco Oil...
Scaling characteristics of calcium carbonate on a heated surface
in a deluged dry cooling system were investigated. Bulk temperature
of the deluge water was maintained constant at 90°F. Air flow velocity was maintained constant at 181 cfm., and deluge water flow was
maintained at the minimum level that provided thorough...
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...
