TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a comprehensive review of the significant efforts to develop mathematical models, and empirical correlations for the heat transfer coefficient of horizontal-tube, falling film evaporation.
Abstract: A state-of-the-art review of horizontal-tube, falling film evaporation is presented; the review is critical, in an attempt to uncover strengths and weaknesses in prior research, with the overall purpose of clearly identifying gaps in our understanding. The review covers flow-pattern studies, and the experimental parameters that affect the heat transfer performance on plain single tubes, enhanced surfaces and tube bundles. In addition, this paper presents a comprehensive review of the significant efforts to develop mathematical models, and empirical correlations for the heat transfer coefficient. Emphasis is placed on studies that are related to refrigeration applications.

TL;DR: In this paper, the material properties of polymers are examined, as well as the current state of the art of polymer matrix composites, and it is shown that these materials do hold promise for use in the construction of heat exchangers in HVAC&R applications, but that a considerable amount of research is still required into material properties and life-time behavior.
Abstract: Because of their low thermal conductivity, polymers are not commonly considered as a material to construct heat exchangers, except for specific applications, e.g. heat recovery from solvent laden streams, where exotic alloys are required to prevent corrosion. In this review the material properties of polymers are examined, as well as the current state of the art of polymer matrix composites. It is shown that these materials do hold promise for use in the construction of heat exchangers in HVAC&R applications, but that a considerable amount of research is still required into material properties and life-time behavior. A successful application of polymers or polymer matrix composites is based on careful material selection and modification of the design to fully exploit the material properties, as is demonstrated through a series of examples.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on classroom-based pedagogies of engagement, particularly cooperative and problem-based learning, and present a brief history, theoretical roots, research support, summary of practices, and suggestions for redesigning engineering classes and programs to include more student engagement.
Abstract: Educators, researchers, and policy makers have advocated student involvement for some time as an essential aspect of meaningful learning. In the past twenty years engineering educators have implemented several means of better engaging their undergraduate students, including active and cooperative learning, learning communities, service learning, cooperative education, inquiry and problem-based learning, and team projects. This paper focuses on classroom-based pedagogies of engagement, particularly cooperative and problem-based learning. It includes a brief history, theoretical roots, research support, summary of practices, and suggestions for redesigning engineering classes and programs to include more student engagement. The paper also lays out the research ahead for advancing pedagogies aimed at more fully enhancing students’ involvement in their learning.

TL;DR: This Review article focuses on all kinds of luminescent probes and sensors for measurement of T, and summarizes the recent progress in their design and application formats.
Abstract: Temperature (T) is probably the most fundamental parameter in all kinds of science. Respective sensors are widely used in daily life. Besides conventional thermometers, optical sensors are considered to be attractive alternatives for sensing and on-line monitoring of T. This Review article focuses on all kinds of luminescent probes and sensors for measurement of T, and summarizes the recent progress in their design and application formats. The introduction covers the importance of optical probes for T, the origin of their T-dependent spectra, and the various detection modes. This is followed by a survey on (a) molecular probes, (b) nanomaterials, and (c) bulk materials for sensing T. This section will be completed by a discussion of (d) polymeric matrices for immobilizing T-sensitive probes and (e) an overview of the various application formats of T-sensors. The review ends with a discussion on the prospects, challenges, and new directions in the design of optical T-sensitive probes and sensors.
