Model of critical heat flux in subcooled flow boiling
(Cambridge, Mass. : M.I.T. Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, [1968], 1968)
The physical phenomenon occurring before and at the critical heat flux (CHF) for subcooled flow boiling has been investigated. The first phase of this study established the basic nature of the flow structure at CHF. A ...
Forced-convection, dispersed-flow film boiling
(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. ...
A study of boiling water flow regimes at low pressures
(Cambridge, Mass. : M.I.T. Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, [1966], 1966)
"A comprehensive experimental program to examine flow regimes at pressures below 100 psia for boiling of water in tubes was carried out. An electrical probe, which measures the resistance of the fluid between the centerline ...
Correlation of maximum heat flux data for boiling of saturated liquids
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Division of Industrial Cooperation, [1955], 1955)
Forced-convection surface-boiling heat transfer and burnout in tubes of small diameters
(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. ...
Film boiling of saturated liquid flowing upward through a heated tube : high vapor quality range
(Cambridge, Mass. : M.I.T. Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, [1964], 1964)
Film boiling of saturated liquid flowing upward through a uniformly heated tube has been studied for the case in which pure saturated liquid enters the tube and nearly saturated vapor is discharged. Since a previous study ...
Mechanism of nucleate pool boiling heat transfer to sodium and the criterion for stable boiling
(Cambridge, Mass. : M.I.T. Engineering Projects Laboratory, [1967], 1967)
A comparison between liquid metals and other common fluids, like water, is made as regards to the various stages of nucleate pool boiling. It is suggested that for liquid metals the stage of building the thermal layer plays ...
Transition boiling heat transfer from a horizontal surface
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Division of Industrial Cooperation, [1960], 1960)
An experiment, utilising a condensing fluid as the heat source, was performed to determine the heat flux vs. temperature difference curve for transition pool boiling from a horisontal surface. The boiling cure was determined ...
The mechanism of heat transfer in nucleate pool boiling
(Cambridge, Mass. : M.I.T. Division of Sponsored Research, [1962], 1962)
A criterion is developed for bubble initiation from a gas filled cavity on a surface in contact with a superheated layer of liquid. It is found that the temperature of bubble initiation on a given surface is a function of ...
Heat transfer and pressure drop in tape generated swirl flow
(Cambridge, Mass. : M.I.T. Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, [1967], 1967)
The heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of water in tape generated swirl flow were investigated. The test sections were electrically heated small diameter nickel tubes with tight fitting full length Inconel ...
