Forced-convection condensation inside tubes
(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
(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
(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. ... -
Forces on oscillating uniform and tapered cylinders in a crossflow
(Cambridge University Press, 1998)Forces are measured at both ends of rigid cylinders with span 60 cm, performing transverse oscillations within an oncoming stream of water, at Reynolds number Re ~3800. Forced harmonic motions and free vibrations of ... -
Foundations of Infrastructure CPS
(2015-10-07)Infrastructures have been around as long as urban centers, supporting a society’s needs for its planning, operation, and safety. As we move deeper into the 21st century, these infrastructures are becoming smart – they ... -
Frequency Control using Cooperative Demand Response through Accumulated Energy
(2015-10-07)This paper proposes a hierarchical control architecture for engaging demand into providing primary frequency response services. The proposed architecture relies on the use of information about accumulated energy for the ... -
