Experiments to determine critical heat flux (CHF) for cryogen flow in uniformly heated, round tubes have been performed throughout the globe during past sixty years. However, experimental CHF data cryogens are rarely published, remaining archives of authors, or obscure technical reports an organization other inaccessible sources. In present study, Purdue University-Boiling and Two-Phase Flow La...

When a hot body A is thermally connected to a cold body B, the textbook knowledge is that heat flows from A to B. Here, we describe the opposite case in which heat flows from a colder but constantly heated body B to a hotter but constantly cooled body A through a two-phase liquid-vapor system. Specifically, we provide experimental evidence that heat flows through liquid and vapor phases of cryo...

In the present research, thixoforming route was carried out in order to enhance the microstructural features of LM28 piston alloy. Typical microstructure of this alloy was composed of coarse, polygonal primary silicon particles, eutectic matrix and intermetallic phases. Thermal analysis was carried out to study the solidification path of the base alloy and determine the major arrest temperature...

We use the lubrication approximation to investigate the steady flow of slender non-uniform rivulets of a viscous fluid on an inclined plane that is either heated or cooled relative to the surrounding atmosphere. Four non-isothermal situations in which thermocapillary effects play a significant role are considered. We derive the general equations for a slender rivulet subject to gravity, surface...

In the present study, the capability of accumulative roll bonding (ARB) and subsequent heat-treatment to fabricate solid solution from a multilayered Cu/Zn/Al was investigated. Two post-heat treatment (one-step and two-step) routes were proposed. In the first, the ARB processed material was heated to 800 C for 5:30 hours and allowed to cool slowly in a furnace (one-step route). In the second (t...
