Convective mass transfer from a horizontal rotating cylinder in a slot air jet flow

Abstract

The effects of air jet impinging on the mass transfer characteristics from a rotating spinning cylinder surface were experimentally investigated. The effects of rotational Reynolds numberRe r , jet-exit Reynolds number Re j , the nozzle width-to-cylinder diameter ratio B=d, and the ratio of the distance between nozzle exit and the front of cylinder to nozzle width L=B on the mean Sh were determined. The phenomena of the first and second critical point was analyzed and validated. On the basis of experimental data, the correlation equation was obtained.

An investigation of pulsatile flow past two cylinders as a model of blood flow in an artificial lung

“…In addition, most related previous transient investigations focused on vortex shedding and oscillatory motion of a cylinder within an otherwise stationary fluid. These flows are usually of higher Reynolds numbers ( Re > 20) [10–12] and are not applicable to TAL (lower Reynolds number). There has been recent interest in fundamental heat transfer from pairs of cylinders in a variety of conditions [13, 14]…”
