A semiempirical analysis of heat transfer to impacting sprays has been developed by considering the major components of spray heat transfer to consist of (1) contact heat transfer to impacting droplets, (2) convective heat transfer to gas, and (3) thermal radiation heat transfer [142], The model further assumes that the droplet interference is negligible (i.e., dilute sprays), and the three heat transfer components are independent of each other. The heat transfer data to a single impacting droplet have been correlated by the Weber number, surface temperature superheat, and thermophysical properties. 

When exposed to high temperatures and fire, FRP composites experience complex changes in material states involving the interaction of thermal, chemical, physical, mechanical, and structural phenomena. Modeling and predicting aU the coupled responses of FRP stmctures is therefore a complex task. By treating independently only one or two of these phenomena in each model, however, the task becomes more reasonable. The thermal phenomena (heat transfer, temperature distribution, etc.) are mainly determined by the thermophysical properties of the material and the thermal boundary conditions, while the mechanical and stmctural phenomena... 

The fluidized bed reactor is about 60 years old, but only in recent years has its apphcation to coal combustion taken on commercial significance. The fluidized bed is the dispersion of a solid, usually in powder form, by a gas, under flow conditions such that the solid takes on the properties of a gas. Such reactors can be designed to operate continuously. Thermal conduction (heat transfer) in such systems can be high, and, as a result, in the case of coal and air, the combustion can occur at much lower temperatures than in the fixed bed system. Thus, the addition of limestone (CaCOs) or dolomite (CaCOs MgCOs) to the fluidized bed system can result in the reduction of oxides of sulfur and oxides of nitrogen.

Effect of Uncertainties in Thermal Design Parameters. The parameters that are used ia the basic siting calculations of a heat exchanger iaclude heat-transfer coefficients tube dimensions, eg, tube diameter and wall thickness and physical properties, eg, thermal conductivity, density, viscosity, and specific heat. Nominal or mean values of these parameters are used ia the basic siting calculations. In reaUty, there are uncertainties ia these nominal values. For example, heat-transfer correlations from which one computes convective heat-transfer coefficients have data spreads around the mean values. Because heat-transfer tubes caimot be produced ia precise dimensions, tube wall thickness varies over a range of the mean value. In addition, the thermal conductivity of tube wall material cannot be measured exactiy, a dding to the uncertainty ia the design and performance calculations. 

The ideal high level heat-transfer medium would have excellent heat-transfer capabiUty over a wide temperature range, be low in cost, noncorrosive to common materials of constmction, nondammable, ecologically safe, and thermally stable. It also would remain Hquid at winter ambient temperatures and afford high rates of heat transfer. In practice, the value of a heat-transfer medium depends on several factors its physical properties in relation to system efficiency its thermal stabiUty at the service temperature its adaptabiUty to various systems and certain of its physical properties. 

Some physical properties, such as heat capacity and thermal conductivity, are difficult to measure accurately at higher temperatures and error as great as 20% are common. For critical appHcations, consult the heat-transfer fluid manufacturer concerning methods that were employed for these measurements. 

Heat pipes are used to perform several important heat-transfer roles ia the chemical and closely aUied iadustries. Examples iaclude heat recovery, the isothermaliziag of processes, and spot cooling ia the mol ding of plastics. In its simplest form the heat pipe possesses the property of extremely high thermal conductance, often several hundred times that of metals. As a result, the heat pipe can produce nearly isothermal conditions making an almost ideal heat-transfer element. In another form the heat pipe can provide positive, rapid, and precise control of temperature under conditions that vary with respect to time. 

The cross-sectional area of the wick is deterrnined by the required Hquid flow rate and the specific properties of capillary pressure and viscous drag. The mass flow rate is equal to the desired heat-transfer rate divided by the latent heat of vaporization of the fluid. Thus the transfer of 2260 W requires a Hquid (H2O) flow of 1 cm /s at 100°C. Because of porous character, wicks are relatively poor thermal conductors. Radial heat flow through the wick is often the dominant source of temperature loss in a heat pipe therefore, the wick thickness tends to be constrained and rarely exceeds 3 mm. 

Tables 2,3, and 4 outline many of the physical and thermodynamic properties ofpara- and normal hydrogen in the sohd, hquid, and gaseous states, respectively. Extensive tabulations of all the thermodynamic and transport properties hsted in these tables from the triple point to 3000 K and at 0.01—100 MPa (1—14,500 psi) are available (5,39). Additional properties, including accommodation coefficients, thermal diffusivity, virial coefficients, index of refraction, Joule-Thorns on coefficients, Prandti numbers, vapor pressures, infrared absorption, and heat transfer and thermal transpiration parameters are also available (5,40). Thermodynamic properties for hydrogen at 300—20,000 K and 10 Pa to 10.4 MPa (lO " -103 atm) (41) and transport properties at 1,000—30,000 K and 0.1—3.0 MPa (1—30 atm) (42) have been compiled. Enthalpy—entropy tabulations for hydrogen over the range 3—100,000 K and 0.001—101.3 MPa (0.01—1000 atm) have been made (43). Many physical properties for the other isotopes of hydrogen (deuterium and tritium) have also been compiled (44).

Relations for transport properties such as viscosity and thermal conductivity are also required if wall friction and heat-transfer effects are considered. 

Thermal Printing. Thermal printing is a generic name for methods that mark paper or other media with text and pictures by imagewise heating of special-purpose consumable media. Common technologies are direct thermal thermal, ie, wax, transfer and dye-sublimation, ie, diffusion, transfer. Properties and preferred appHcations are diverse, but apparatus and processes are similar (87—89). 

Transport Properties. Viscosity, themial conductivity, the speed of sound, and various combinations of these with other properties are called steam transport properties, which are important in engineering calculations. The speed of sound (Fig. 6) is important to choking phenomena, where the flow of steam is no longer simply related to the difference in pressure. Thermal conductivity (Fig. 7) is important to the design of heat-transfer apparatus (see HeaT-EXCHANGETECHNOLOGy). The viscosity, ie, the resistance to flow under pressure, is shown in Figure 8. The sharp declines evident in each of these properties occur at the transition from Hquid to gas phase, ie, from water to steam. The surface tension between water and steam is shown in Figure 9. 

The guarded hot-plate method can be modified to perform dry and wet heat transfer testing (sweating skin model). Some plates contain simulated sweat glands and use a pumping mechanism to deUver water to the plate surface. Thermal comfort properties that can be deterrnined from this test are do, permeabihty index (/ ), and comfort limits. PermeabiUty index indicates moisture—heat permeabiUty through the fabric on a scale of 0 (completely impermeable) to 1 (completely permeable). This parameter indicates the effect of skin moisture on heat loss. Comfort limits are the predicted metaboHc activity levels that may be sustained while maintaining body thermal comfort in the test environment. 

For turbulent flow of a fluid past a solid, it has long been known that, in the immediate neighborhood of the surface, there exists a relatively quiet zone of fluid, commonly called the Him. As one approaches the wall from the body of the flowing fluid, the flow tends to become less turbulent and develops into laminar flow immediately adjacent to the wall. The film consists of that portion of the flow which is essentially in laminar motion (the laminar sublayer) and through which heat is transferred by molecular conduction. The resistance of the laminar layer to heat flow will vaiy according to its thickness and can range from 95 percent of the total resistance for some fluids to about I percent for other fluids (liquid metals). The turbulent core and the buffer layer between the laminar sublayer and turbulent core each offer a resistance to beat transfer which is a function of the turbulence and the thermal properties of the flowing fluid. The relative temperature difference across each of the layers is dependent upon their resistance to heat flow.
