Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrasonication effects on thermal and rheological properties of carbon nanotube suspensions
TL;DR: The maximum thermal conductivity enhancement and minimum viscosity increase are obtained using a lengthy sonication, which may have implications on application.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heat transfer characteristics of multiwall carbon nanotube suspensions (MWCNT nanofluids) in intertube falling-film flow
TL;DR: In this article, multiwall carbon nanotube suspensions (MWCNT) are used in an intertube falling-film flow to explore the nanofluid effects on heat transfer characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of a countercurrent gas flow on falling-film mode transitions between horizontal tubes
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of a countercurrent gas flow and liquid feeding length on falling-film mode transitions for a liquid flowing over horizontal tubes were explored. And a correlation was developed to predict the countercurrent flow effects on falling film mode transitions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigation on Intertube Falling-Film Heat Transfer and Mode Transitions of Aqueous-Alumina Nanofluids
Binglu Ruan,Anthony M. Jacobi +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the horizontal tube falling-film heat transfer characteristics of aqueous aluminum oxide nanofluids at concentrations of 0 vol %, 0.05 vol % (0.20 wt %), 0.5 vol %(1.96 wt%) and 2 vol %/(7.51 wt ) were investigated and compared with predictions developed for conventional fluids.
Vapor Shear Effects on Falling-Film Mode Transitions Between Horizontal Tubes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated vapour shear effects on the falling-film transition between horizontal tubes and found that the transition hysteresis is reduced by an increasing gas flow velocity.
