    • Burnout in forced convection nucleate boiling of water 

      Reynolds John Mitchell (Cambridge, Mass. : M.I.T. Heat Transfer Laboratory, [1957], 1957)
      Data are presented for burnout in forced coivection nucleate boiling of water at pressures above 500 psia. A dimensionless correlation is devised for. the M.I.T. data which is found to be valid for certain recent data ...

    • The effect of nonuniform axial heat flux distribution on the critical heat flux 

      Todreas, Neil E.; Rohsenow, Warren M. (Cambridge, Mass. : M.I.T. Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, [1965], 1965)
      A systematic experimental and analytic investigation of the effect of nonuniform axial heat flux distribution on critical heat rilux was performed with water in the quality condition. Utilizing a model which ascribes the ...

    • Forced-convection condensation inside tubes 

      Traviss, Donald P.; Baron, Anton G.; Rohsenow, Warren M. (Cambridge, Mass. : M.I.T. Heat Transfer Laboratory, [1971], 1971)
      High vapor velocity condensation inside a tube was studied analytically. The von Karman universal velocity distribution was applied to the condensate flow, pressure drops were calculated using the Lockhart- Martinelli ...

    • Forced-convection surface-boiling heat transfer and burnout in tubes of small diameters 

      Bergles A. E.; Rohsenow, Warren M. (Cambridge, Mass. : M.I.T. Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, [1962], 1962)
      A basic heat-transfer apparatus was designed and constructed for the study of forced-convection boiling in small channels. The various regions of forced-convection surface boiling were studied experimentally and analytically. ...

    • Forced-convection, dispersed-flow film boiling 

      Hynek, Scott Josef; Rohsenow, Warren M.; Bergles A. E. (Cambridge, Mass. : M.I.T. Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, [1969], 1969)
      This report presents the latest results of an investigation of the characteristics of dispersed flow film boiling. Heat transfer data are presented for vertical upflow of nitrogen in an electrically heated tube, 0.4 in. ...

    • Natural convection flows in parallel connected vertical channels with boiling 

      Eselgroth, Peter Ward; Griffith, P. (Cambridge, Mass. : M.I.T. Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, [1967], 1967)
      The steady-state flow configuration in an array of parallel heated channels is examined with the objective of predicting the behavior of a reactor during a loss of flow accident. A method of combining the results of single ...

    • A study of system-induced instabilities in forced-convection flows with subcooled boiling 

      Maulbetsch, John S.; Griffith, P. (Cambridge, Mass. : M.I.T. Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, [1965], 1965)
      A combined analytical and experimental program was carried out to investigate the problem of hydrodynamic stability of forcedconvection flows with boiling. The study was restricted to the flow of water in small channels ...

    • Survey and evaluation of techniques to augment convective heat transfer 

      Bergles A. E.; Morton, Harmon Lindsay. (Cambridge, Mass. : M.I.T. Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, [1965], 1965)
      This report presents a survey and evaluation of the numerous techniques which have been shown to augment convective heat transfer. These techniques are: surface promoters, including roughness and treatment; displaced ...

    • Transition from film boiling to nucleate boiling in forced convection vertical flow 

      Iloeje, Onwuamaeze C.; Plummer, David N.; Rohsenow, Warren M. (Cambridge, Mass. : M.I.T. Heat Transfer Laboratory, [1972], 1972)
      The mechanism of collapse of forced cnnvection annular vertical flow film boiling, with liquid core, is investigated using liquid nitrogen at low pressures. The report includes the effect of heat flux from the buss bar. ...
