Using pulsed near infrared laser radiation for selective laser sintering bears several advantages compared to cw sintering such as low required average power, less residual heat and improved lateral precision. By adapting the pulse length (and thus the hea ...

This paper discusses the effect of diameter on both flow boiling heat transfer and transition from macro to microchannel evaporation. A recently proposed three-zone flow boiling model based on evaporation of elongated bubbles in microchannels is briefly de ...
A new heat transfer model for intube flow boiling in horizontal plain tubes is proposed that incorporates the effects of local two-phase flow patterns, flow stratification and partial dryout in annular flow. Significantly, the local peak in the heat transf ...
Two-phase flow of gases and liquids or vapors and liquids in pipes, channels, equipment, etc. is frequently encountered in industry and has been studied intensively for many years. The reliable prediction of pressure drop in two-phase flow is thereby an im ...
This paper analyzes by numerical simulation the formation, the fragmentation, and the penetration in a plate of a copper jet that develops in a shaped charge. A finite element Lagrangian code has been used to gain insight into this problem. The study is co ...
An extensive database has been collected for the evaporation of two hydrofluorocarbon refrigerants (HFC- 134a and the zeotropic mixture HFC- 407C) and the natural refrigerant ammonia (R-717). A model to predict the onset of nucleate boiling has been succes ...
As part of a comprehensive study on factors affecting flow boiling in horizontal tubes, local boiling heat transfer coefficients were measured for R- 134a evaporating inside the same 12.00 mm bore, plain tube for horizontal flow, vertical upflow and vertic ...
A new optical void fraction measurement system has been coupled to the existing LTCM flow boiling test facility to obtain dynamic and time-averaged void fractions, simultaneously with measurements of the local heat transfer coefficients. A series of evapor ...
Remarkably different behaviors are found when comparing micro-scale flow boiling heat transfer data by distinct authors, even under similar experimental conditions. Such differences are almost certainly related to the complexity of confined forced-flow boi ...
The substitution of CFC refrigerants in refrigeration systems, heat pumps and organic Rankine cycles, requests a good knowledge of the heat transfer and pressure drop properties of substitute fluids. A contribution to this international effort is proposed ...
