This paper describes the experimental methods used to determine the surface temperatures and heat-transfer coefficients at the leading edge, and elsewhere over the surface, of a specially designed double-edge wedge shell specimen subjected to cyclic heating in a high velocity hot gas stream generated by a burner rig. The methods included temperature measurements with thermocouples (embedded below the surface) as well as surface temperature measurements by optical pyrometry. The experiments were carried-out at gas temperatures between 806 to 1323 °C and velocities in the range from Mach 0.32 to Mach 0.39. The calibration procedures for each method, the various testing conditions to which the airfoil-like specimen was exposed and the results pertaining to the determination of the surface temperatures and heat-transfer coefficients are described and discussed.

AbstractThe turbulent flux of sensible heat in the energy balance of a glacier surface is assumed to be proportional to the temperature difference between the glacier surface and the atmosphere at the same level but outside the thermal influence of the glacier. The factor of proportionality between them is first explained in terms of friction velocity, roughness height, and stability function of the logarithmic wind and temperature profile. It is then derived from climatological records and measurements of the energy balance and its altitudinal gradients at Hintereisferner. Examples of the energy-balance components and their change with altitude are given for the entire ablation season as well as for short periods. The heat transfer coefficients derived have a mean value of 1.7±0.2 MJ m−2d−1K−1(40 ± 5 ly d−1K−1).

A new process of low temperature triple-effect distillation desalination is designed. Firstly, the appropriate effect number is determined. The total heat transfer coefficients and the heat loads of each evaporator are calculated. When the pressure differences between near effects are equal to △P, the freshwater outputs and the heat transfer coefficients of every effect would be increased as △P improved; if △P is too low, the seawater un-evaporated in the last evaporator would be difficult to flow into the next one. By analysis, the appropriate value of △P is 0.005 MPa. If the seawater flowing into the first effect is preheated by the heat source flow outpouring the unit, the total heat utilization rate and the freshwater output would be enhanced.

This study experimentally investigates the film condensation of R-22 and R-410A on two horizontal enhanced tubes. The test tubes include a GEWA-C and a GEWA-TWX. Data was measured at three different saturation temperatures (35°C, 40°C and 45°C) in accordance with the range of practical condensation conditions in the air-conditioning and refrigeration applications. Average heat transfer coefficients were determined by overall heat transfer coefficients based on energy balance. The comparisons of heat transfer coefficients between R-22 and R-410A for both test tubes were presented.
