Interaction of Chemical Reactions and Transport. 1. An Overview

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of the fundamental mechanisms of reaction and transport on one another have been examined, and the indirect ones, which arise from combined reactors, heat exchangers, and separators, are examined separately.
Journal ArticleDOI

The stability of flames inside a refractory tube

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the range of stability of propane and air flames in a refractory tube with a diameter of 9.52 mm or greater falls within the turbulent regime of flow of the unburned gas, and the combustion is very steady and clean.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exact formulations and nearly exact numerical solutions for convection in turbulent flow between parallel plates

TL;DR: In this paper, exact integral formulations for the velocity and temperature distributions and for the friction factor and Nusselt number in fully developed turbulent flow and convection between parallel plates in terms of the dimensionless local turbulent shear stress and heat flux density are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Laser-Doppler Measurements of the Velocity Along a Heated Vertical Wall of a Rectangular Enclosure

TL;DR: Mesures par anemometrie laser Dopler et par thermocouple des champs de temperatures and de distributions de vitesse au voisinage de la paroi verticale chauffee d'une enceinte rectangulaire remplie d'eau as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of a non-uniform surface temperature on laminar natural convection in a rectangular enclosure

TL;DR: In this paper, three dimensional solutions were developed for natural convection in a 2 × 1 × 1 rectangular enclosure by finite-difference calculations, where sawtooth temperature distributions with different amplitudes and orientations were imposed on the lower surface to simulate the effect of cooling coils or jackets on the collector plate of a flat-plate solar heater.
