Experimental investigations are performed for various constant heat...

... channel are reported. The objective is to investigate the mixing effect of the particles vis-à-vis the latent heat effect. The particle concentration is kept at 3% in volume. The results, in terms of surface-averaged channel temperature and heat transfer coefficient for different fluid speed and heat-flux...

... materials can simultaneously prevent mechanical and thermal damage. Assessment of promise requires quantitative understanding of vapor transport through microtruss pores for realistic heat loads and latent heat carriers. Pore size may complicate exegesis owing to vapor rarefaction or surface interactions...

... an air film. The flow of the condensate is laminar. The condensing vapor releases both convection and latent heats to the wall of the duct. Thus, it is treated as a combined heat and mass transfer problem. The mass, momentum, and energy balance equations for the vapor-air mixture flowing in the duct...

...) by Outlast Technologies, were each tested in smooth and spined annuli to observe which configuration facilitated heat transfer. The latent heats and thermal conductivities of C28 and TY83 are 126 kJ ∕ kg and 186 kJ ∕ kg and 0.6 W ∕ m ∕ ° C and 0.15 W ∕ m ∕ ° C , respectively. The experimental data were...

... to handle solid phase, liquid phase, and mushy zone during melting and solidification processes. The volume-of-fluid method was employed to handle free surfaces. The enthalpy method was used for latent heat. Laser absorptions (Inverse Bremsstrahlung and Fresnel absorption) and thermal radiation...

... and latent heat losses from the sweating skin in the presence of open apertures in the clothing system. The percentage drop in total heat loss due to open aperture is 7.52%, and 2.63%, at ventilation frequencies of 25, and 35 revolution per minute, respectively. The reported results showed that under walking...

Hewitt This paper presents a calculation methodology to predict the peaks in heat transfer coefficient at near zero equilibrium quality observed in forced convective boiling in vertical conduits. The occurrence of such peaks is typical of low latent heat, low...

... Lewis number and variation of latent heat with temperature. The accuracy of the model is identical to a Finite Volume solution obtained on a very fine nonuniform grid, but the computational cost is significantly less, making this approach suitable for use in a spray combustion code. The evaporation...

The computations provided a good insight into film boiling yielding quantitative information on unsteady periodic bubble release patterns and on the spatially and temporally varying film thickness. The computations also predicted the transport coefficients on the horizontal surface...
