Abstract: The heat transfer characteristics of silica (SiO2) nanofluids at 0.5vol% concentration and particle sizes of 10nm and 20nm in pool boiling with a suspended heating Nichrome wire have been ...

Abstract: The local distributions of void fraction, interfacial frequency, and velocity have been measured in annular flow of R-134a through a wall-heated, high aspect ratio duct. High aspect ratio ducts ...

Abstract: This paper describes the experimental investigation of an upward annular air-water flow in a duct with a 6.35 mm by 63.5 mm rectangular cross section. The test section was instrumented to ...

Abstract: Detailed measurements have been made in a high pressure, adiabatic (boiled at the inlet) annular flow in a narrow, high aspect ratio duct using a gamma densitometer, hot-film anemometer and ...

Abstract: This paper outlines the development of a three-field modeling approach in annular flow and the predictive capability of an analysis code. Models have been developed here or adapted from the ...

Abstract: Measurements of local void fraction, rise velocity, and bubble diameter have been obtained for cocurrent, wall-heated, upward bubbly flows in a pressurized refrigerant. The instrumentation used ...
