TLDR
The Journnal of Heat Transfer (JHT) as discussed by the authors has recognized the need to prepare a set of guidelines on estimating experimental uncertainty, which were used to ensure uniformity of presenting experimental data and to raise the authors' awareness regarding the importance of giving a more precise statement about their measurement uncertainties.Abstract:
The JOURNAL OF HEAT TRANSFER (JHT) has, for some time, recognized the need to prepare a set of guidelines on estimating experimental uncertainty. This was warranted for two major reasons: to ensure uniformity of presenting experimental data, and to raise the authors' awareness regarding the importance of giving a more precise statement about their measurement uncertainties.read more

Effect of Surface Roughness on Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow Characteristics at Low Reynolds Numbers in Small Diameter Tubes
TL;DR: The effect of surface roughness on pressure drop and heat transfer in circular tubes has been extensively studied in literature as discussed by the authors, and a detailed experimental study is undertaken to investigate the roughness effects in small diameter tubes.

Turbulent heat transfer and pressure drop in tube fitted with serrated twisted tape
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented an original experimental study on compound heat transfer enhancement in a tube fitted with serrated twisted tape and found that the heat transfer augmentation attributed to the twisted tape falls in the range of 250-480% of the plain-tube level.

Simulation benchmarks for low-pressure plasmas: Capacitive discharges
Miles M. Turner,Aranka Derzsi,Zoltan Donko,Denis Eremin,Sean Kelly,Trevor Lafleur,Thomas Mussenbrock +6 more
TL;DR: This paper claims that the results of these simulations represent strong benchmarks, which can be used as a basis for evaluating the accuracy of other codes, including other approaches than particle-in-cell simulations.

Heat transfer and pressure drop in tube with broken twisted tape insert
TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental study measuring the axial heat transfer distributions and the pressure drop coefficients of the tube fitted with a broken twisted tape of twist ratio 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 or ∞ is performed in the Re range of 1000-40,000.

Contributions to the Theory of Single-Sample Uncertainty Analysis
TL;DR: The concepts presented here were developed in connection with heat transfer and fluid mechanics research experiments of moderately large size and which may frequently require three experiments to be conducted.
