Twentieth national heat transfer conference

Aspects of direct contact heat transfer are considered along with transport phenomena in fusion reactors, enhanced nucleate boiling, flow boiling, heat transfer in non-Newtonian systems, two-phase systems, heat transfer in fossil fuel conversion systems, process heat transfer, thermal and hydraulic behavior in rod and tube bundles, and two-phase systems in rod and tube bundles. Attention is also given to solar energy heat transfer, heat transfer in fluidized beds, and fire and combustion fundamentals, taking into account thermal stress oscillations induced by dynamic instabilities in radiation-heated boiler tubes, convection losses from a cavity receiver, numerical solutions of turbulent models for flow over a flat plate with angle of attack, and the heat transfer from smooth horizontal tubes immersed in gas fluidized beds. A description is provided of aspects of turbulent combustion modelling, the exhaust gas emission from a swirl stabilized combustor, the analytical solution for diffusion in the core of a droplet with internal circulation, and the radiant ignition of a thin combustible solid
