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...
A theoretical study of the heat and momentum transfer resulting
from a flow of power plant condenser effluent discharged vertically to
shallow, quiescent coastal receiving water is presented. The complete
partial differential equations governing steady, incompressible, turbulent
flow driven by both initial momentum and buoyancy are solved
using finite-difference techniques...
The heat-transfer phenomena studied in this work were
associated with pool boiling from a flat horizontal surface facing
upward with the bulk liquid at its saturation temperature. The
analysis of boiling sound and the investigation of the transition boiling
mechanism constituted the essence of the present study.
The distinctively large...
An experimental investigation was conducted to determine
characteristics of natural convection of mercury in a vertical channel,
which was open at both ends. Two cases were investigated separately:
1) both walls uniformly and symmetrically heated, and 2) one wall
heated with the other insulated.
Heat transfer correlations in laminar flow...
This thesis is concerned with the analysis of heat transfer in a tube with forced flow under conditions of an arbitrary variation of wall heat flux both axially and circumferentially. This total study is separated into two distinct problems which are presented separately. The first is the case of a...
A steady gas convection model of heat transfer to a horizontal
cylinder immersed in a gas fluidized bed is presented. Contributions due to flow within
attached bubbles as well as the interstitial voids are
included. The interstitial flow is approximated as flow within a series
of double cusped channels and...
