The present work deals with the results of the experimental investigations carried out on augmentation of turbulent flow heat transfer in a horizontal tube by the means of tube inserts, with air as working fluid. Experiments were carried out initially for the plain tube. Nusselt number and friction factor obtained experimentally were validated against those obtained from theoretical correlation...

at present, the tubular structural systems are mainly used in tall buildings to withstand earthquake loads. although it is possible to analyse the structure by finite element methods using standard three dimensional programs, the system is generally time-consuming and expensive in the primary design work. in this paper, for the analysis of framed-tube systems, a simple method was studied and de...

Experimental investigation of heat transfer during pool boiling of two nanofluids, i.e., water-Al2O3 and water-Cu has been carried out. Nanoparticles were tested at the concentration of 0.01%, 0.1%, and 1% by weight. The horizontal smooth copper and stainless steel tubes having 10 mm OD and 0.6 mm wall thickness formed test heater. The experiments have been performed to establish the influence ...

TECHNIQUE After drain insertion, a horizontal mattress suture is placed. A simple knot is placed distally half way along the two free ends. The two threads are wrapped tightly together the same way around the tube up to the level of the knot. The free ends of the knot are then passed proximally under the loop of the skin suture (Fig 1). The suture is pulled fi rmly, and the free ends are separa...

The interaction between a small twist and a horizontal chromospheric shocktube is investigated. The magnetic flux tube is modeled using 1.5-D magnetohydrodynamics. The presence of a supersonic yet sub-Alfvénic flow along the flux tube allows the Alfvénic pulse driven at the photospheric boundary to become trapped and amplified between the stationary shock front and photosphere. The amplificatio...
