In industrial applications involving spray-cooling, combustion, and so on, prediction of the maximum spreading diameter a droplet impinging on solid surface permits quantitative estimation heat removal energy consumption. However, although there are many experimental studies regarding impingement behaviour, theoretical models have an applicability limit for predicting diameter. present study, we developed analytical model based conservation that considers adhesion in both horizontal vertical...

AbstractThe ARIES research program is a multi-institutional effort to develop several visions of tokamak reactors with enhanced economic, safety, and environmental features. Three are currently planned for the program. The ARIES-I design DT-burning reactor based on "modest" extrapolations from present physics database relies either existing technology or which trends already in place, often programs outside fusion; ARIES-II will employ potential advances physics; ARIES-III conceptual D-3He...

A new liquid-crystal thermometry method is described to determine an isothermal map on a heat transfer surface coated with cholesteric layer that changes color according temperature. This based the use of set sharp band-pass optical filters, one which attached black-and-white video camera take monochromatic image having specified color. From image, line was drawn aid digital processing technique excludes human sensation. We obtain as many lines filters and can map. An experiment presented...

The impingement behaviours of droplets towards solid substrates depend on the liquid properties, velocity and surface conditions, such as wettability roughness. However, prediction regarding whether droplet splashes after impingement, is still an open question. Here we show that splashing can be predicted by pressure balance film appearing beneath coupled with modified energy equation. Hydrodynamic hydrostatic pressures are driving forces for droplet's radial spreading, while capillary at...

A direct numerical simulation code with cylindrical geometry has been developed. (DNS) of an impinging round jet into parallel disks is performed for a Reynolds number 10,000 based on the nozzle exit velocity and diameter (D). Mean flow variables, turbulent intensity, pressure distribution kinetic energy budgets are obtained at various radial locations. The present DNS results in fairly good agreement two‐dimensional PTV measurements by Nishino co‐workers 1996. Some features this regarding...

Abstract Gas entrainment (GE) phenomena, such as a pump sump, are observed in many industrial scenes. Moreover, design studies of Japanese sodium-cooled fast reactors, occurrences GEs concern because compact reactor vessel is expected to be employed owing its economical advantages and coolant velocity being higher than that conventionally designed vessels. However, the occurrence conditions too difficult predict by theoretical methods they usually highly nonlinear phenomena. Therefore, we...

Gas–liquid two-phase flows are typical in engineering systems involving heat and mass transfers. The cross-sectional geometries sizes of these flow channels vary, exerting a notable impact on the thermofluid behavior. To develop models, it is imperative to obtain local measurements gain insights into their characteristics from measurements. Numerous experimental studies have investigated circular pipes rectangular channels; however, few square been conducted, particularly for regimes beyond...

This paper is to describe a new direct numerical procedure for solving general multiphase flow problems with many free surfaces and interfaces.
