Abstract: Measurements of the mass/heat transfer coefficients on the blade and end wall surfaces of a linear turbine cascade are compared to numerical predictions using the standard shear stress transport (SST) closure and the SST ...

Abstract: An experimental study of thermal convection in a porous medium investigates the heat transfer across a horizontal layer heated from below at high Rayleigh number. Using a packed bed of polypropylene spheres in a cubic ...

Abstract: A band model for atmospheric absorption is used to calculate the incoming longwave atmospheric radiative flux for some typical clear sky conditions. The sky radiation is also measured using a specially-designed calorimetric ...

Abstract: If a steady thermal boundary layer is sufficiently thick, wall heat fluxes and associated convective heat transfer coefficients can be directly calculated from measured temperature distributions taken within it using a ...
