TL;DR: In this paper, an optimized contraction cone is introduced upstream to the vortex shedder to enhance the strength of the shed vortices and to suppress upstream flow distortion effects to improve the turndown ratio and flow distortion sensitivity.

TL;DR: In this article, two identical cone shapes are machined with their base circle surfaces joined together with a small step in between them and differential pressure measurement is done across the apex of the cones.

TL;DR: In this paper, the experimental data of critical heat flux (CHF) in helical coils are compared with the correlation available in literature, and a generalised correlation is suggested for CHF in all helical coil data.

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental investigation was conducted to study the effect of crossflow on the local heat transfer distribution of a flat surface normally impinged by a round air jet, where the influence of jet-to-plate distances (z/d of 4, 6 and 12), the crossflow velocity to the jet velocity (M varying from 1/6 to 1/12), and the Reynolds number (Re varying from 6000 to 12,000) on the heat transfer was studied.

TL;DR: In this article, a flow regime map is developed based on Reynolds number and Froude number to understand the parametric dependence responsible for fluid flow transitions in a partially filled rotating smooth pipe.
