An Investigation Of Nucleate And Film Boiling Heat Transfer From Copper Spheres, William David Hardin Jan 1970

An Investigation Of Nucleate And Film Boiling Heat Transfer From Copper Spheres, William David Hardin

Doctoral Dissertations

"This study consisted primarily of a laboratory investigation involving nucleate and film boiling heat transfer from copper spheres with saturated liquid nitrogen at atmospheric pressure. An initial study was directed towards obtaining reproducible boiling heat flux versus ΔT curves in the nucleate boiling region from surface conditions created by single and/or multiple glass bead peenings. The variables of bead size, nozzle line operating pressure, and distance a copper surface should be placed from the nozzle outlet were checked. The results indicated that a final peening of the surface with 0.0017-0.0035 inch diameter glass beads, a nozzle line pressure of approximately …
