Study of the mechanism of film condensation of vapor under the influence of surface forces

Effect of defects in the porous surface on the thermophysical characteristics of heat-pipe wicks

“…Similar meniscus profiles are seen in thin-film units with longitudinal-wire-finned tubes [3] and in heated cylindrical capillary tubes [4].…”

“…The empirical data in the literature [2,3] on measuring the diffusion coefficient and diffusivity of a fluidized bed in the horizontal direction has been generalized for a free fluidized bed. There has not been enough study of problems of heat and mass transfer in fluidized beds constrained by tube bundles (boiler furnace analog), and the empirical formulas in [4,5] require empirical verification in commercial-scale units.…”
