Heat Transfer and Pressure Loss in Tube Bundles for High Performance Heat Exchangers and Fuel Elements

Description: From introduction: "The tube arrangement covered in this report was proposed in June, 1950, as a means of halving the weight and volume required for the heat exchanger. Ideally, the pressure drop across this arrangement should be little more than that required to overcome the skin friction on the tube surfaces. If the pressure drop across the tube spacers and in the cross-flow regions can be kept low, this ideal can be approached. much of the test work covered in this report was devoted to this… more

Analytical and Experimental Investigation of Fully Developed Turbulent Flow of Air in a Smooth Tube With Heat Transfer With Variable Fluid Properties

Description: Note presenting tests to determine local heat-transfer coefficients and friction factors for fully developed turbulent flow of air in a smooth electrically heated tube with an inside diameter of 0.87 inch and a length of 87 inches. Testing occurred at high ratios of wall to fluid bulk temperatures. Results regarding the predicted temperature and velocity distributions, Nusslet numbers, friction factors, velocity distributions, and temperature distributions are provided.

Wind-Tunnel Investigation of a Shielded Total-Pressure Tube at Transonic Speeds

Description: Report presenting testing of a shielded total-pressure tube with a curved venturi entry in order to obtain the variation of total-pressure error with angle of attack from a range of 0 to 60 degrees and for a range of Mach numbers. The critical angle was found to vary from about 57 degrees at Mach number 0.90 to 56 degrees at Mach number 1.10.

Permissible design pressures for 2S-H14-72S clad process tubes

Description: The following are the maximum recommended design pressures when using 2S-H14-72S clad process tubes: (a) long duration (Operating Pressure) - 500 psi at tube entry. (b) Short duration (Emergency Pressure) - 600 psi at any point along tube length. (c) If several distoration of some tubes (as of fringe tubes in older piles) is expected the operating pressure limit of the tubes in question should be lowered to compensate for the expected distortion.

Boundary Disturbances in High Explosive Shock Tubes

Description: From abstract: High velocity disturbances are observed to propagate along the walls of a high explosive operated shock tube in advance of the plane shock. Experiments are presented which determine the dependence of the geometry, energy, and velocity of the disturbance on such variables as the gas contained in the shock tube, the shock strength, and the roughness and composition of the supporting boundary. A model is constructed to explain the flow within the disturbance. Arguments are presented… more

Boundary Disturbances in High Explosive Shock Tubes

Description: Abstract: High Velocity disturbance are observed to propagate in advance of the plane shock front along the walls of a high-explosive-operated shock tube. Experiments were performed which indicate that the disturbance proceeds at a constant velocity relative to the shock front, and carries a considerable amount of energy as evidenced by its ability to penetrate metal plates. The velocity of a similar disturbance observed along a rod placed on the axis of the shock tube normal to the plane shoc… more
