Internal flow subjected to an axial variation of the external heat transfer coefficient
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1987)
A theoretical investigation of internal flow subjected to an axial variation of the external convection coefficient is presented. Since the variable boundary condition parameter causes the problem to become nonseparable, ...
Pool boiling of sulfur dioxide from an electrically heated wire
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute, 1964)
The bolling film coefficients of sulfur dioxide were obtained from. experiments with an electrically heated wire submerged in a pool of sulfur dioxide liquid.
A three-inch 15 Gage Nichrome V wire served as heating element ...
Optimization of the design of an extended surface with finned pins
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute, 1964)
Numerous types of extended surfaces have been used in the past but those with finned pins have proved to be unique in increasing the rate of heat transfer. Hsieh working on the original idea ot professor Hsu proved that ...
Boiling film coefficients for sulfur dioxide in a vertical evaporator
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute, 1962)
It was the intent of this investigation to determine boiling film coefficients of SO₂ in a temperature range not previously investigated. Further, a practical method of circulating liquid SO₂ and reclaiming SO₂ vapor without ...
Heat transfer from a finned pin to the ambient air
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute, 1963)
Extensive investigations employing fins as extended surfaces have been conducted, but relatively little experimental work has been conducted with pins, no information is available on the heat transfer characteristics of a ...
The effect of entrainment on jet impingement heat transfer
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1982)
An analytical and experimental study was done to determine the effect of entrainment on the heat transfer to a single, plane, turbulent impinging jet. Solutions to the momentum and energy equations were obtained with ...
Application of liquid crystals to surface temperature measurement on plates heated by cyclic bending
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1988)
Equipment design to measure the film coefficient of superheated steam flowing in conduits
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute, 1964)
After reviewing all available literature on heat transfer to superheated steam at high temperatures and pressures, it was concluded that further investigation of this problem would be of value.
The thesis was concerned ...
The determination of heat-transfer coefficients from finned cylinders in an air stream at varying fin-plane/air-stream angles, fin spacing, and air velocities
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute, 1955)
Since the turn of the twentieth century, many investigations have been made in the field of heat-transfer from finned cylinders in an air-stream with the fin-plane parallel to the air-stream. Most of these investigations ...
