Analytical Study Of Heat Conduction And Thermal Stress In Solids With Pressure Dependent Contact Resistance, Dhruvkumar S. Patel
Analytical Study Of Heat Conduction And Thermal Stress In Solids With Pressure Dependent Contact Resistance, Dhruvkumar S. Patel
Theses and Dissertations
In the usual thermal stress analysis of a body, the stresses are found for a predetermined temperature distribution. In problems involving composite materials, thermal contact resistance between materials can significantly affect the temperature distribution. The contact resistance is normally a function of the contact pressure and thermally induced stresses can affect the temperature distribution. Thus in composite bodies the thermal stress problem and the heat transfer problem may be coupled and require a simultaneous solution of both problems.
A Study Of Turbulent Heat Transfer From A Flat Plate With Transverse Temperature Variations, John C. W. Kwan
A Study Of Turbulent Heat Transfer From A Flat Plate With Transverse Temperature Variations, John C. W. Kwan
Theses and Dissertations
Heat transfer in turbulent flow from external surfaces has been investigated extensively in the past. Most of the theoretical and experimental work deals with a two dimensional boundary layer on isothermal or uniform heat flux surfaces with longitudinal temperature variation. However, little attention has ever been paid to the case in which the temperature of the plate varies transversely. This is a three dimensional problem due to the spanwise variation of the thermal boundary layer. The most elementary example of this is the boundary formed by the sudden temperature impulse that acts transversely across a flat plate as shown in …
