Abstract: The performance of very high temperature reactor plants with direct and indirect closed Brayton cycles (CBCs) is compared and the effects of the molecular weight of the CBC working fluid on ...

Abstract: The derivation in our paper is for liquid (water) flow in a microtube, with a slip at the wall. For this problem, in the paper by El-Genk and Yang, a stationary microlayer, δ, whose thickness ...

Abstract: Experiments are performed to investigate saturation boiling of degassed PF-5060 dielectric liquid on microporous copper dendrite surface layers deposited on 10×10 mm2 Cu substrates. The ...

Abstract: The friction numbers for laminar flows of water in microtubes, determined from the temperature rise due to the viscous dissipation heating assuming a velocity slip, show a strong dependence on ...

Abstract: Presented are the results of experiments that investigated nucleate boiling of PF-5060 on microporous Cu surface layers at saturation and 10 K, 20 K, and 30 K subcooling. The three microporous ...
