Journal ArticleDOI
Compressible swirling flow through convergent-divergent nozzles
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of swirl on the rate of mass flow and on the velocity field in the throat region of axi-symmetric nozzles are studied analytically and experimentally.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reverse osmosis issues relating to pressure drop, mass transfer, turbulence, and unsteadiness
TL;DR: In this article, numerical simulation has been used to investigate a number of significant physical processes for reverse osmosis in a spiral-wound membrane, including fluid flow regimes, flow unsteadiness, and fluid flow periodicity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative Assessment of the Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient U
TL;DR: In this paper, a double-pipe configuration of a two-fluid heat exchanger was selected for study and the authors quantified the axial variations of the temperature and heat flux along the wall separating the pipe and annulus flows.
Journal ArticleDOI
An environmental impact comparison of single-use and reusable thermally controlled shipping containers
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the life cycle impacts of two distinct logistical approaches to packaging commonly used in cold chain logistics and identify the method of least environmental burden in a 2-year clinical trial consisting of 30,000 individual package shipments at a controlled 2-8°C temperature range for approximately 96h.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impingement heat transfer at a circular cylinder due to an offset or non-offset slot jet
Ephraim M Sparrow,A. Alhomoud +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the heat transfer coefficient on a circular cylinder subjected to the crossflow impingement of a slot jet and found that the effect of offset is accentuated for narrow slots and at small slot-to-cylinder separation distances.
