Radiation-affected laminar flame propagation
(Elsevier, 1982)
Increased laminar flame thickness and flame speed under the influence of radiation is shown in terms of an original heat transfer number where is the weighted nongreyness, [kappa]p and [kappa]R are the Planck mean and ...
Radiative entropy production--lost heat into entropy
(Elsevier, 1987-10)
Heat flow [delta]Q of the First Law of Thermodynamics is expressed in terms of the entropy flow [delta](Q/T)[delta]Q [triple bond] [delta][T(Q/T)] = T[delta](Q/T)+(Q/T)dT where T[delta](Q/T) denotes the energy equivalent ...
Unsteady flow in rotating drums using laser Doppler velocimetry
(Springer-Verlag, 1988-01)
Non-destructive measurements by laser Doppler velocimetry is employed to study unsteady flow in a hollow drum filled with liquid. The drum is suddenly accelerated from rest or is suddenly decelerated from a steady rotation ...
Funicular state in drying of a porous slab
(Elsevier, 1987-07)
Drying of a non-hygroscopic porous slab initially saturated with liquid, up to the time of the first appearance of dried patches (critical time), is studied experimentally using glass beads and convective heating, and ...
Frictional slip and separation in the transonic range caused by a plane stress pulse
(Elsevier, 1984-03-08)
Localized frictional slip and separation slip between two contacting solids caused by an incident plane elastic wave of arbitrary form was studied in reference [1]. In that paper the angle of incidence of the wave was ...
An analysis of the technical and economic performance of a parabolic trough concentrator for solar industrial process heat application
(Elsevier, 1982-09)
An identification of the principal design factors that influence the technical performance of a parabolic trough concentrator and which relate directly to design and manufacturing decisions is presented. These factors ...
Transient response of a packed bed for thermal energy storage
(Elsevier, 1984-09)
An analysis, with experimental results, for the transient response of a packed bed thermal storage unit is presented. The analysis is in two spatial dimensions and considers the influence of both axial and radial thermal ...
Solution of potential problems using an overdetermined complex boundary integral method
(Elsevier, 1989-10)
The advantages of solving potential problems using an overdetermined boundary integral element method are examined. Representing a 2-dimensional potential solution by an analytic complex function forms two algebraic systems ...
Natural convection in evaporating sessile drops with crystal growth
(Elsevier, 1987)
Laser shadowgraphy is employed to study interfacial instability and natural convection inside a minute drop evaporating on a plate with internal crystal growth. Both pure and binary liquids are considered. Two methods of ...
