TL;DR: Le Corre et al. as discussed by the authors performed a literature review of critical heat flux (CHF) experimental visualizations under subcooled flow boiling conditions and systematically analyzed three major types of CHF flow regimes (bubbly, vapor clot and slug flow regime) based on a dimensional analysis of the phenomena and available experimental information.

TL;DR: In this paper, a general-purpose computer model for phase change and free-surface problems, utilizing a multi-zone adaptive grid generation and curvilinear finite volume scheme, is linked to a spectral thermal radiation algorithm to predict the temperature distribution within a CZ growth furnace.

TL;DR: In this paper, the hydrodynamics of jet impingement quenching of a stainless steel specimen has been studied experimentally and the splashed droplet velocity is found to be low up to a wetting front radius of 6mm (r / d J ǫ ≥ 2.34).

06 Mar 1972TL;DR: In this article, a process for the liquefaction and subcooling of natural gas with a Claude closed refrigerating cycle is described, where the cycle medium is a mixture of nitrogen and methane.
Abstract: A process for the liquefaction and subcooling of natural gas with a Claude closed refrigerating cycle comprising compressing gaseous cycle medium; cooling resultant compressed gaseous cycle medium; dividing cooled compressed gas into two streams; engine-expanding one stream; and cooling the other stream with the engine-expanded stream to such an extent that said other stream becomes partially liquefied after a subsequent throttle expansion thereof; the improvement comprising employing as the cycle medium, a mixture of nitrogen and methane.

TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical model was developed based on solving the one-dimensional unsteady heat conduction equation in both phases of melting and solidification of n-eicosane and rt-hexadecane.
Abstract: Measurements of heat transfer during melting and solidfkation of n-eicosane and rt-hexadecane were performed in vertical cylinders with two different lengths and diameters. Radial temperature distibutions were measured with lime at different heights in all the tests. To evaluate the rate of heat charged and discharged from the cylinder at different heights, the data were recorded and processed directly usinj; on-line computer. A theoretical model was developed based on solving the one-dimensional unsteady heat conduction equation in both phases. Convection in the liquid was included using an effective thermal conductivity; a lumped parameter that includes also the effect of the two-dimensional heat transfer during melting. The model, which may be used for the prediction of both melting and solidfkation experiments, takes into account the effect of initial subcooling or superheating and includes the heat capacity of the cylinder containing the PCM. The agreement of the model was good not only with...
