Motivated by the need for understanding the boiling processes in three-phase microscopic systems, the present work aims to uncover the physics of forced dewetting of a liquid film initially attached to a metal wire frame, which is heated with a rate up to O(108) K s−1 by discharging a capacitor impulsively. Depending on the corresponding heat flux O(1011) J m−2, there are several key dewetting ...

Droplets impacting on a superheated surface can either exhibit a contact boiling regime, in which they make direct contact with the surface and boil violently, or a film boiling regime, in which they remain separated from the surface by their own vapor. The transition from the contact to the film boiling regime depends not only on the temperature of the surface and the kinetic energy of the dro...

The purpose of this letter is to clarify recent findings and answer to the question: "What is the state of hydrogen in carbon slitlike pores at 77 K?" For this purpose, we determined the volumetric density of hydrogen in idealized carbon pores of molecular dimension at 77 K and pressure up to 1 MPa. We used quantum corrected grand canonical Monte Carlo simulation. We recognized the highest volu...

Banerjee Surface temperature fluctuations that occur locally underneath departing bubbles in pool boiling are shown to result in local heat transfer coefficients ranging from 1 to 10 kW/cm. These estimates were repo...

Population balance equations combined with a threedimensional two-fluid model are employed to predict bubbly flows with the presence of heat and mass transfer processes. Subcooled boiling flow belongs to this specific category of bubbly flows is considered. The MUSIG (MUltiple-SIze-Group) model implemented in CFX4.4 is further developed to account for the wall nucleation and condensation in the...

I N T R O D U C T I O N Mechanical and metallurgical requirements impose limits on the rates at which aluminum alloys can be quenched by water sprays. The upper limit is set by the occurrence of plastic deformation which causes warping of the product and the lower limit is set by an inability to develop the required metallurgical properties in subsequent heat treatment operations. In addition, ...

.n a number of geothermal systems, including the 3eysers (Ca), Lardarello (Italy) and Tongonan :Philippines), well logs indicate that in some parts of he reservoir, a two-phase vapouror liquid-dominated -egion is overlain by a colder liquid saturated zone. The stability of such systems is intriguing. Schubert md Straus (1980) have described how a liquid layer nay overly a model superheated vapo...

Chromatography is an analytical technique employed for purification and separation of organic and inorganic substances including characterisation and quantitative measurement of compounds (table). Basically there are two types: l. Gas chromatography (GC), 2. Liquid chromatography (LC). Although discovered in 1906 by Tshett, developed in the 1950s as the GC technique where the mobile phase are g...

A versatile continuous-flow synthesis of highly functionalized 1,2,4-oxadiazoles starting from carboxylic acids is reported. This process was applied to the multistep synthesis of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2-yl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles, using a three reactor, multistep continuous-flow system without isolation of intermediates. This continuous-flow method was successfully combined with a single-step liquid...

Slush nitrogen (SN(2)) is a mixture of solid nitrogen and liquid nitrogen, with an average temperature of -207 °C. To investigate whether plunging a French plastic straw (commonly used for sperm cryopreservation) in SN(2) substantially increases cooling rates with respect to liquid nitrogen (LN(2)), a numerical simulation of the heat conduction equation with convective boundary condition was us...
