Experimental investigation on fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics of a submerged combustion vaporizer

TL;DR: In this paper, a visual experimental apparatus was established to have a comprehensive knowledge about fluid flow and heat transfer performance of submerged combustion vaporizer (SCV), and two new empirical Nusselt number correlations were regressed to predict the shell-side and tube-side heat transfer characteristics of SCV.

Evaporation of single liquid drops in an immiscible liquid at elevated pressures: experimental study with n-pentane and R 113 drops in water

TL;DR: In this article, the authors dealt with direct contact evaporation of single liquid drops in a stagnant medium of an immiscible liquid under moderately elevated pressures. But their experiments were performed with n-pentane and R 113 drops injected into water under pressures of up to 0.48 MPa.
