Deposits of clastic carbonate-dominated (calciclastic) sedimentary slope systems in the rock record have been identified mostly as linearly-consistent carbonate apron deposits, even though most ancient clastic carbonate slope deposits fit the submarine fan systems better. Calciclastic submarine fans are consequently rarely described and are poorly understood. Subsequently, very little is known especially in mud-dominated calciclastic submarine fan systems. Presented in this study are a sedimentological core and petrographic characterisation of samples from eleven boreholes from the Lower Carboniferous of Bowland Basin (Northwest England) that reveals a >250 m thick calciturbidite complex deposited in a calciclastic submarine fan setting. Seven facies are recognised from core and thin section characterisation and are grouped into three carbonate turbidite sequences. They include: 1) Calciturbidites, comprising mostly of highto low-density, wavy-laminated bioclast-rich facies; 2) low-density densite mudstones which are characterised by planar laminated and unlaminated muddominated facies; and 3) Calcidebrites which are muddy or hyper-concentrated debrisflow deposits occurring as poorly-sorted, chaotic, mud-supported floatstones.

Publisher Summary This chapter presents a discussion on jet impingement heat transfer. The chapter describes the applications and physics of the flow and heat transfer phenomena, available empirical correlations and values they predict, and numerical simulation techniques and results of impinging jet devices for heat transfer. The relative strengths and drawbacks of the Reynolds stress model, algebraic stress models, shear stress transport, and v 2 f turbulence models for impinging jet flow and heat transfer are compared in the chapter. The chapter provides select model equations as well as quantitative assessments of model errors and judgments of model suitability. The review of recent impinging jet research publications identified a series of engineering research tasks that are important for improving the design and resulting performance of impinging jets: (1) clearly resolve the physical mechanisms by which multiple peaks occur in the transfer coefficient profiles, and clarify which mechanism(s) dominate in various geometries and Reynolds number regimes, (2) develop a turbulence model, and associated wall treatment if necessary, that reliably and efficiently provides time-averaged transfer coefficients, (3) develop alternate nozzle and installation geometries that provide higher efficiency, meaning improved Nu profiles at either a set flow or set blower power, and (4) further explore the effects of jet interference in jet array geometries, both experimentally and numerically. This includes improved design of exit pathways for spent flow in array installations.

Jet Impingement Heat Transfer: Physics, Correlations, and Numerical Modeling

A method for measuring steady local heat transfer to an impinging liquid jet

Starting from slabs of known dimensions and chemical composition in a hot strip mill, homogeneous strips of predetermined geometry and mechanical properties may be produced. While the geometry and the surface quality are influenced by the deformation process, mechanical properties depend on the cooling process applied immediately after the last stand. Accelerated cooling of steel strips is one of the best ways to achieve both high cooling efficiency and desirable product qualities. A mathematical model is developed to predict the thermal behaviour of steel strips cooled by an array of round jets

Cooling of a moving steel strip by an array of round jets

This paper presents a study of the flow and thermal structures in the molten glass bath of a typical glass melting furnace with a throat but without air bubblers or electric boosting. Different separate effects on the flow structure of the glass melt are simulated, but only the glass melt is considered. The net heat flux distribution is imposed at the combustion space/glass melt interface, and its effects on the flow and thermal structures of the glass melt are analyzed in a systematic manner by changing the heat flux distribution while keeping the total heat input to the glass bath constant. The main purpose of the work is to evaluate the capability of the furnace operators to control the glass flow and temperature fields by adjusting the firing in the combustion space. The physical phenomena affecting the flow structure in the glass melt are analyzed and discussed in detail. The major results of the study indicate that (i) the heat flux distribution has no significant effect on the flow structure of the glass melt under the batch blanket where several Rayleigh-Benard cells develop in the spanwise direction, (ii) a heat flux gradient in the longitudinal direction is required to generate two recirculation loops in the direction, and (iii) steep heat flux gradient in the refining part of the tank increase significantly the size of the refining recirculation loop near the front wall.

Three-Dimensional Flow and Thermal Structure in Glass Melting Furnaces. Part I: Effect of the Net Heat Flux Distribution

Transient conductive-radiative cooling of an optical quality glass disk

Purpose – This paper seeks to review the literature on methods for solving the radiative transfer equation (RTE) and integrating the radiant energy quantities over the spectrum required to predict the flow, the flame and the thermal structures in chemically reacting and radiating combustion systems.Design/methodology/approach – The focus is on methods that are fast and compatible with the numerical algorithms for solving the transport equations using the computational fluid dynamics techniques. In the methods discussed, the interaction of turbulence and radiation is ignored.Findings – The overview is limited to four methods (differential approximation, discrete ordinates, discrete transfer, and finite volume) for predicting radiative transfer in multidimensional geometries that meet the desired requirements. Greater detail in the radiative transfer model is required to predict the local flame structure and transport quantities than the global (total) radiation heat transfer rate at the walls of the combus...
