Heat flux measurements are very important in the study of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) dynamics; heat flux controls ABL stability and is therefore crucial to various topics such as air quality and hydrometeorology. Accurate heat flux measurements c ...
The aim of this Note is to predict by means of large eddy simulations the three-dimensional structures and secondary mass and heat fluxes which develop within a heated curved duct, for applications to rocket engines cooling channels. We show the existence ...
We present Large-Eddy Simulations (LES) of the turbulent compressible flow in curved ducts of square cross section. The aim is to investigate the influence of the curvature radius Rc on the flow and the heat transfer. We consider three different curvature ...
Important reductions of refrigerant amounts can be achieved by using secondary refrigeration fluids. Ice slurry is a two-phase fluid and thus, compared to single phase secondary refrigeration fluids, offers the advantage of the latent heat of fusion when t ...
Flux-exchange between stream and aquifer is assessed on a 85.9 km stretch of the Danube River in Hungary. Streamflow is modeled with a spatially and temporally discretized version of the linear kinematic wave equation written in a state-space form which al ...
Since the catastrophic CO2 eruption in 1986, Lake Nyos has been investigated in detail by several research groups. However, no signs of double-diffusive convection were observed before December 2002, when a set of 26 well-mixed layers with thicknesses of 0 ...
An analysis of the effect of magnetic geometry on heat flux in a wide range of single null diverted discharge configurations with 1.5 < κ(95) < 2.2, 0.2 < δ(95) < 0.45 suggests that elongation is beneficial for confinement. If heat diffusivitie ...
Some basic ideas of the heat transfer of ice slurries are discussed. The equations des-cribing a flow of a Bingham fluid through a tube with a heat flux over the boundary are presented. The theory shows that familiar Relations known in the field of heat ex ...

An improved two-phase flow pattern map is proposed for evaporation in horizontal tubes. Based on new flow pattern data for three different refrigerants covering a wide range of mass velocities, vapor qualities and heat fluxes. The new flow pattern map incl ...
Few experimental test data are available for evaporation of ammonia inside tubes and numerous new data have been measured and presented here. An improved approach to the prediction of flow boiling heat transfer in horizontal tubes has been proposed through ...
