HEAT TRANSFER CONSIDERATIONS IN A PRESSURE VESSEL BEING CHARGED

Abstract

Experimental data for the charging of an air receiver is presented and interpreted in detail. The data indicates a substantial departure from the adiabatic behavior. The experimental results are used to evaluate existing closed form expressions for the thermodynamic state of a gas in a receiver. A method for experimentally determining the convective heat transfer coefficient is developed, evaluated and used in conjunction with these expressions.
