Heat transfer and pressure drop data for high heat flux densities to water at high subcritical pressures
(Cambridge, Mass. : M.I.T. Division of Industrial Cooperation, 1951, 1951)
Local surface ooeffioients of heat t-ansfer, overall pressure drop data and mean friction factor are presented for heat flamms up to 3.52106 BtuAr ft2 for water flowing in a nickel tabe isder the following conditions: mass ...
Dryout droplet distribution and dispersed flow film boiling
(Cambridge, Mass. : Heat Transfer Laboratory, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1982], 1982)
Dispersed flow film boiling is characterized by liquid-phase droplets entrained in a continuous vapor-phase flow. In a previous work at MIT, a model of dispersed flow heat transfer was developed, called the Local Conditions ...
The Effect of vapor subcooling on film condensation of metals
(Cambridge, Mass. : M.I.T. Engineering Projects Laboratory, [1968], 1968)
This work presents an analysis of the interfacial "vapor-condensate" temperature distribution, which includes the effect of subcooling (supersaturation) in the vapor. Experimental data from previous investigators for ...
The effect of surface roughness and waviness upon the overall thermal contact resistance
(Cambridge, Mass. : M.I.T. Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, [1966], 1966)
A thermal contact conductance equation was developed which considers both the effect of surface roughness and waviness. It was shown that the overall thermal contact conductance is determined by the roughness at large ...
Void volumes in subcooled boiling systems
(Cambridge, Mass. : M.I.T. Division of Industrial Cooperation, [1958], 1958)
Introduction: Knowledge of the pressure drop in a channel and the resulting flow redistribution is essential in predicting the performance of a nuclear reactor. The pressure drop in a channel which is experiencing boiling ...
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. ...
The effect of surface conditions on nuceate pool boiling heat transfer to sodium
(Cambridge, Mass. : M.I.T. Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, [1965], 1965)
A simplified theoretical model for bubble nucleation stability has been proposed, and an approximate stability criterion has been developed. This criterion contains both fluid and surfqce properties, and it predicts that ...
The effect of nonuniform axial heat flux distribution on the critical heat flux
(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 ...
Refrigerant forced-convection condensation inside horizontal tubes
(Cambridge, Mass. : M.I.T. Heat Transfer Laboratory, [1969], 1969)
High vapor velocity condensation inside a tube was studied theoretically. The heat transfer coefficients were calculated by the momentum and heat transfer analogy. The Von Karman universal velocity distribution was applied ...
Correlation of maximum heat flux data for boiling of saturated liquids
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Division of Industrial Cooperation, [1955], 1955)
