This experimental thesis was directed towards providing new insight into the characterization of the fluid and thermal behavior of metal foam. The study focused on the thermal characteristics of aluminum metal foams over a range of pores per inch valu . . .

Film boiling heat transfer from a 2 inch 1018 carbon steel rotating sphere has been experimentally determined in saturated and subcooled Freon-113. Heat transfer from the sphere was analyzed for static and rotating conditions in saturated and subcoole . . .

This analysis has been undertaken to determine the heat transfer within the cavity formed by any two adjacent turbine blades. Cooling is produced by a jet consisting of a mixture of hydrogen gas and steam (2/3 hydrogen, 1/3 steam by mass) which is inj . . .

An analytical procedure to aid in the design and analysis of a gas-fired cross-flow heat exchanger. The basic heat transfer and thermodynamic concepts involved with heat exchanger design are presented starting with the basic theory and concluding with . . .

Film boiling heat transfer from a 2 inch 1018 carbon steel rotating sphere has been experimentally determined in Freon-113. Heat transfer from the sphere was analyzed for static and rotating conditions in saturated and subcooled liquid baths with and . . .

This study is designed to obtain the boiling curves for Freon 113 using a rotating spherical surface at different rotational speeds . This is very important because this kind of heat transfer is encountered specifically in turbopump bearings for engin . . .

This report analyzes problems that involve fluid-flow boundary conditions in a general heat conduction program. The difficulty in the problem stems from adjusting a finite difference method that is used in solving conduction problems to be used direct . . .

The goal to achieve higher fuel-efficient internal combustion engines is a common goal for engine manufacturers. Current engines reject approximately 20 percent of the fuels energy to the engine cooling system. The waste energy is rejected to the atmo . . .
