...Jürgen Kern; Peter Stephan In the present paper an attempt is made to clarify the influence of mixture effects upon heat transfer in nucleate boiling of binary mixtures. The studies are based on a theoretical model that is briefly summarized. Evaluating heat and mass transfer around a single vapor...

...Jürgen Kern; Peter Stephan A model is presented to calculate nucleate boiling heat transfer coefficients of binary mixtures. The model includes the governing physical phenomena, such as the variation of the phase interface curvature, the adhesion pressure between wall and liquid, the interfacial...

...David M. Pratt; Kenneth D. Kihm An investigation has been conducted into the interactions of binary fluid mixtures (pentane [ C 5 H 12 ] coolant and decane [ C 10 H 22 ] additive) and thermocapillary effects on a heated, evaporating meniscus formed in a vertical capillary pore system...

... of a rectangular channel 3 - mm × 40 - mm in cross-section. Available models for (a) subcooled flow boiling of pure liquids and (b) saturated flow boiling of binary mixtures are extended to model the subcooled flow boiling of binary mixtures.

... 1999 29 Sept 1999 natural convection confined flow Binary Cooling Enhancement Heat Transfer An important class of natural convection phenomena in industry refers to the confined flows inside stationary cavities when a temperature differential is impressed at two opposing...

...S. G. Kandlikar; L. Alves Pool boiling heat transfer with dilute binary mixtures introduces two additional effects due to binary diffusion, and due to change in the surface tension. The secondary effects due to changes in contact angle and wetting characteristics may also play a role. The present...
