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...

Uniaxial model for a gas loaded variable conductance heat pipe

A new uniaxial model for a gas loaded variable conductance heat pipe (VCHP) is developed. This model takes into account the diffusion at the vapour-gas interface as well as the inertial effects of the moving vapour. Only steady-state conditions are considered. The generally accepted Edwards /Marcus model will be shown to be a first order...
