We report a novel boiling heat transfer (NBHT) in reduced graphene oxide (RGO) suspended in water (RGO colloid) near critical heat flux (CHF), which is traditionally the dangerous limitation of nucleate boiling heat transfer because of heater failure. When the heat flux reaches the maximum value (CHF) in RGO colloid pool boiling, the wall temperature increases gradually and slowly with an almos...

For some of the EOS models the dimension of equilibrium problem can be reduced. Stability and difficulties in implementation are among the problems of flash calculation. In this work, a new reduction technique is presented to prepare a reduced number of equilibrium equations. Afterwards, a number of appropriate solution variables are selected for the prepared equation system to solve the equati...

abstract: in this study an appropriate computational approach was presented for estimating the boiling temperatures of 41 different types of olefins and their derivatives. based on the guidelines of this approach, several structural indices related to the organic components were applied using graph theory. meanwhile, in addition to evaluating the relation between the boiling temperatures of ole...

Pool boiling experiments were conducted with three horizontal, flat, silicon surfaces, two of which were coated with vertically aligned multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The two wafers were coated with MWCNT of two different thicknesses: 9 m (Type-A) and 25 m (Type-B). Experiments were conducted for the nucleate boiling and film boiling regimes for saturated and subcooled conditions with l...

jet impingement boiling is investigated with regard to heat transfer and pressure drop performance using a novel laser sintered 3D printed jet impingement manifold design. Water was the working fluid at atmospheric pressure with inlet subcooling of 7 o C. The convective boiling performance of the impinging jet system was investigated for a flat copper target surface for 2700≤Re≤5400. The result...

This chapter provides the engineer and the researcher with correlations and models for the prediction of the critical aspects of the boiling heat transfer of mixtures. This chapter offers a reliable, hands-on resource for solving common problems across pool boiling and flow boiling applications such as miscible mixtures, refrigerant/lubricant mixtures, additives, and refrigerant/nanolubricants....

In this paper, we formulate the problem of natural image matting as one of solving Poisson equations with the matte gradient field. Our approach, which we call Poisson matting, has the following advantages. First, the matte is directly reconstructed from a continuous matte gradient field by solving Poisson equations using boundary information from a user-supplied trimap. Second, by interactivel...

Mixtures of ethylene glycol and water are used in cooling the engines in automotive applications. To avoid the two-phase flow in the engine, the mixture is subcooled in the radiator before entering the engine block. Heat transfer is therefore essentially under subcooled flow boiling conditions. Very little information is available in the literature on the subcooled flow boiling characteristics ...
