The turbulent/non-turbulent interface of a round jet: Measurements on a large range of Reynolds numbers

In this thesis a method of combined PIV and LIF experiments on the Turbulent/Non-Turbulent interface (TNTI) of a round jet is presented.<br/>By varying the distance from the nozzle in the measurements, the Kolmogorov scale of a large range of Reynolds number (2×10³ ≤ Re ≤ 48×10³) is kept constant, allowing for a constant...

The applicability of heat flux sensors in a falling film evaporator: Experimental approach

The production process of milk powder consists of multiple stages. This report focuses on the falling film evaporator, which role in the production process is to evaporate the water content from the milk. A falling film evaporator is a large vertically-placed vessel whereby the inside is filled with smaller tubes. Steam enters the vessel and...

Study on equipment requirements in support of microgravity fluid physics experiments

The study culminates in requirements for facilities and instrumentation of a laboratory supporting microgravity fluid physics experiments and equipment developments. The requirements are based on reviews of candidate areas of experimentation and proposed or actual experiment facilities. Present deficiencies in measurement capabilities or...
