Measurements of convective heat transfer from a horizontal cylinder rotating in a tank of water

Heat transfer in a mechanical face seal

“…A few years later, Phillips et al [13] made similar experiments on the static ring of a mechanical seal. The measured Nusselt numbers exhibited trends close to those obtained with the Gazley [9] and Becker [11] correlations, thus validating the suggestions of Nau [7] and Lebeck [1]. Two years later the same authors [14] presented numerical simulations of heat transfer and fluid flow around their experimental device.…”

“…At the same time, Lebeck, Nygren, Shirazi and Soulisa presented both experimental [15] and numerical results [16] relating to heat transfer in a mechanical seal and its surrounding chamber. They emphasized the good agreement between the Nusselt number on the rotating ring and Becker's formula [11]. All the quoted studies deal with turbulent flow.…”

“…A complete review of heat transfer in this type of flow can be found in [10]. On the other hand, Lebeck [1] suggested that the more useful correlation was that of Becker [11], deriving from experiments on a small diameter cylinder rotating in a tank of water. But the range of validity of Becker's formula is too small when compared to Reynolds numbers observed during mechanical face seal operation [1].…”

Convective heat transfer inside a rotating cylinder with an axial air flow

“…Özerdem [14] 2000 < Re < 40 000 Nu = 0.318Re 0.571 (11) Shimada et al [15] 300 < Re < 3000 Nu = 0.046 [Re 2 + 8Gr] 0.35 (12) Later on, McAdams [21] proposes the correlation taking into account the L/D ratio:…”

Advances in material and friction data for modelling of metal machining

“…This problem has been investigated experimentally by many researchers, e.g., Refs. [3,75,71,33,173]. The CHT h data is commonly expressed in terms of the dimensionless Nusselt number (Nu), and as a function of other dimensionless numbers including the Reynolds (Re) and Prandtl (Pr) numbers (for forced convection):…”
