Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of thermal boundary conditions on natural convection flows within a square cavity
TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical study to investigate the steady laminar natural convection flow in a square cavity with uniformly and non-uniformly heated bottom wall, and adiabatic top wall maintaining constant temperature of cold vertical walls has been performed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nucleation site density in pool boiling of saturated pure liquids: Effect of surface microroughness and surface and liquid physical properties
R.J. Benjamin,A.R. Balakrishnan +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental investigation on the nucleation density during nucleate pool boiling of saturated pure liquids at low to moderate heat fluxes is described, where the surface-liquid interaction during the boiling phenomena and its effect on nucleation site density and thereby the heat flux is examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nucleate pool boiling heat transfer of pure liquids at low to moderate heat fluxes
R.J. Benjamin,A.R. Balakrishnan +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a model based on an additive mechanism of heat transfer is proposed for pool boiling of single component systems, and the authors estimate the nucleation site density from a literature correlation that includes the boiling surface characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flow and pressure drop fluctuations in a vertical tube subject to low frequency oscillations
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of low frequency oscillations on flow rate and pressure drop in a vertical tube has been studied experimentally in the presence of a 1.75m-long vertical tube of inner diameter 0.016m.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parametric studies on thermally stratified chilled water storage systems
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented an analysis of the stratification decay in thermally stratified vertical cylindrical cool storage systems using a one dimensional conjugate heat conduction model.
