The axial temperature distribution and average heat transfer coefficients were measured for a coiled tube heat exchanger. Water was heated inside the tube under turbulent flow conditions by low pressure steam condensing ...

A study was made of the film characteristics and the local heat transfer coefficients for the downward flow of steam condensing in a vertical tube. The mass velocity of the steam was such that the flow occurred in the ...

An.exact energy balance is conducted on a spherical thermal radiation detector. The thermal radiation heat transfer to the spherical detector is computed utilizing models of the surface optical properties that vary with ...

A simple model for the interaction of a tangentially oriented wall jet with the boundary layer is presented. The boundary-layer equations for steady, two-dimensional, homogeneous, incompressible flow are solved using an ...

Small dimensional changes in six parameters were experimentally studied for their effects on the performance of the bistable fluid amplifier. These dimensional parameters were offset, wall length, control width, power ...

The effects of contaminated supply air on the performance of a laminar proportional amplifier were experimentally investigated. The air supply was contaminated with oil vapor and particulate matter. Characteristic gain ...

An investigation of rotor blade pressure distributions at three-span positions during surge of a low-speed axial-flow compressor was conducted for a single throttle position. The operating path of the compressor system was ...

The effects of varying inlet geometry on the performance of bistable fluid amplifiers were investigated experimentally on a large scale model flip-flop operated with air. Performance curves and power jet velocity profiles ...

A systems analysis is presented for simulation of the descent of a decelerator (parachute) and spacecraft for entry through the atmosphere of the planet Mars by a flight test in the Earth's atmosphere. Engineering atmosphere ...
