AN EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECTS OF HEAT TRANSFER DURING CHARGING AND BLOWDOWN OF SINGLE GAS RECEIVERS

Abstract

Experimental data for both the charging and the blowdown process in a single air receiver is presented and interpreted in detail. The data indicate that heat transfer effects cause a radical departure from adiabatic behavior, and that such variances can be explained qualitatively on the basis of available simplified expressions for the state of a gas in a receiver. It is shown that the behavior of systems fulfilling the limiting conditions of these solutions can be adequately predicted and useful design results obtained. Methods for determining heat transfer convective conductances for use in the simplified solutions are discussed and evaluated.
