Abstract: Torque measurements have been made on rotating three-dimensional bluff bodies in a cylindrical container from start-up to mean flow steady state. The flow is observed to pass through three ...

Abstract: Hydrodynamic torque measurements on rotating bluff bodies are presented for 32 different bodies and three different sized tanks for Reynolds numbers in the range 104–105. The present results ...

Abstract: This paper describes recent advances in the development of a temperature measurement methodology based on phosphorescence of a tracer molecule in a liquid. The methodology represents an extension ...

Abstract: This paper presents numerical results exploring the periodically repeating laminar flow thermal transport in a parallel-plate microchannel with ultrahydrophobic walls maintained at constant temperature. ...

Abstract: Micro-molecular tagging velocimetry (μMTV) has been used to characterize the hydrodynamic developing flow in a microtube inlet with a nominal inner diameter of 180μm. Velocity profile data at ...

Abstract: This work presents in situ measurements of the effective thermal conductivity in particulate coal ash deposits under both reducing and oxidizing environments. Laboratory experiments generated ...
