We report results from a multi-scale thermohydrologic modeling study for two alternative thermal-operating modes for the potential repository system recently analyzed by the Yucca Mountain Project. Th...
Abstract
An experimental study of pool boiling was conducted using cylindrical heater surfaces of platinum, silicon, silicon dioxide, and aluminum oxide. They were immersed in FC-72 and R-113, satura...
The contact area of bubbles with a transparent heating surface was optically measured during subcooled pool boiling of water on the ground. In the experiments, boiling bubbles were attached to the hea...
Abstract
The effect of an electric field on boiling refrigerant R-11 was investigated experimentally. The test section consisted of a flat plate and a single tube with several rows of electrode wire....
Abstract
Large density differences between liquid and vapor create buoyancy effects in the presence of a gravitational field. Such effects can play an important role in two-phase fluid flow and heat ...
