Southern pine and Douglas fir veneer samples were dried in air
under the following conditions: air temperatures were 350, 600, and
750°F; air velocities were 50, 100, and 150 feet per second, and
angles of impingement of air against the veneer surfaces were 0°,
45°, and 90°. The resulting drying...
Heat transfer and fluid mechanical behavior of water
flowing horizontally in vertically-narrow rectangular
channels was studied in this work. Friction factor and
Nusselt number variations were determined experimentally
for four different wall heating conditions, and for aspect
ratios(height to width) of 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1. Wall
heating conditions...
A two-dimensional model for predicting the rate of radiation
heat transfer for the interior of an industrial furnace is described.
The model is two-dimensional due to the assumptions of the heat
source as an infinite radiating plane and the heat sink as rows of
parallel tubes that are both infinite...
During the operation of phase-change ink-jet printers a bubble formation
phenomenon often occurs. These bubbles are detrimental to the operation of
the printer and substantial efforts are made to remove them. The objective of
this research was 1: to develop a fundamental understanding of how bubble or
void formation occurs...
