Local forced convection heat-transfer coefficients for supercritical water flowing inside smooth-bore tubes were obtained experimentally over a range of pressures (3300 to 6000 psia) and bulk temperatures (167 to 1068 F). Because the thermophysical properties of supercritical fluids change rapidly with temperature in the pseudocritical range, conventional forced convection correlations were unable to fit the data. However, a satisfactory correlation for fully developed turbulent flow was obtained by properly modifying the conventional nondimensional model to account for the physical property variation across the boundary layer. Out of 2951 data points, 95 percent lie within ±15 percent of the correlation. It was also found that the same equation correlated supercritical pressure heat-transfer data of carbon dioxide over a wide range of conditions with good accuracy.
The traditional contour method maps a single component of residual stress by cutting a body carefully in two and measuring the contour of the cut surface. The cut also exposes previously inaccessible regions of the body to residual stress measurement using a variety of other techniques, but the stresses have been changed by the relaxation after cutting. In this paper, it is shown that superposition of stresses measured post-cutting with results from the contour method analysis can determine the original (pre-cut) residual stresses. The general superposition theory using Bueckner's principle is developed and limitations are discussed. The procedure is experimentally demonstrated by determining the triaxial residual stress state on a cross section plane. The 2024-T351 aluminum alloy test specimen was a disk plastically indented to produce multiaxial residual stresses. After cutting the disk in half, the stresses on the cut surface of one half were determined with X-ray diffraction and with hole drilling on the other half. To determine the original residual stresses, the measured surface stresses were superimposed with the change stress calculated by the contour method. Within uncertainty, the results agreed with neutron diffraction measurements taken on an uncut disk.
