Warmteoverdracht door straling in een MHD generatorkanaal

Radiation heat transfer is a non-negligible physical process in an open-cycle magnetohydrodymic generator. It constitutes an important part of the energy conservation law, one of the fundamental equations describing the behaviour of the MHD combustion gas in the generator. Radiation heat transfer is modelled following the generally accepted...

A theoretical investigation of gas conduction effects on multilayer insulation performance

The thermal performance of multilayer insulation hlankets depends on three (interacting) modes of energy transfer: radiation between the radiation shields, gas conduction in the residual interstitial gas and solid conduction via the contacting interfaces. The contribution of the gas conduction depends on the interstitial gas and its pressure,...
