Creator:: Graves, Donald Larry
Abstract:: An experimental investigation has been made of the effect of vibration on heat transfer from a cylinder in crossflow. The cylinder used was 3/16-inch in diameter and was sinusoidally oscillated in the vertical direction by a mechanical drive mechanism while immersed in an open water channel. Nominal amplitude ratios, a/d,...

Creator:: Lee, Soon Mo
Abstract:: The free convective heat transfer phenomena in air between two vertical plates 24 by 38 inches spaced 15.895 mm apart, was investigated in this experimental study. One plate was isothermal and, the other adiabatic. A quartz fiber anomometer was used for measuring local velocities in the air between the vertical...

Creator:: Melchior, Daniel K.
Abstract:: An experimental investigation has been performed to determine the forced convection heat transfer due to three-dimensional air flow over a flat plate as a function of angle of attack and free stream velocity. The experimental method employed a transient thermal technique and placed the convecting surface next to the exhaust...

Creator:: Aktan, Gülçin
Abstract:: The problem of heat transfer due to free convection in a channel formed by two parallel, isoflux, vertical plates is of considerable importance in electronic cooling applications, thermosiphons, the optimum spacing of plates or components, industrial stacks, heat exchangers, nuclear power plants and combustion involving vertical walls. Although in each...

Creator:: Tang, Hong
Abstract:: Natural convection provides a means for circulating fluids without the use of pumps. This type of system is of great interest for a wide variety of applications, including solar heaters, process industry, and nuclear reactors. Natural convection will play a vital role in the area of passive safety and reliability,...

Creator:: Willie, Robert H.
Abstract:: Described in this thesis is an investigation of the fully developed natural convection heat transfer in a vertical channel formed by two infinitely wide parallel plates maintained at a uniform wall temperature. Closed-form solutions for the velocity and temperature profiles are developed along with local and averaged Nusselt numbers. The...

Creator:: Bristol, Benjanmin R.
Abstract:: The OSU MASLWR Test facility is a scaled integral systems LOCA and proof-of-concept test facility for the Multi-Application Small Light Water Reactor design concept. A unique feature of this design is to utilize a small high pressure containment vessel to provide the safety containment function for an integral reactor pressure...
