Convective Heat Transfer for Ship Propulsion.

Abstract

To correspond to conditions expected in components in shipboard propulsion systems, numerical analyses and experiments were conducted for forced convective heat transfer to gases and gas mixtures flowing in ducts. Measurements with a hydrogen-carbon dioxide mixture confirmed the trends of the numerical predictions for turbulent flow in circular tubes; the wall turbulent Prandtl number was determined for Pr approximately equal to 1/3. The possibility of interaction between carbon dioxide and hydrogen and consideration of dissociating gases are treated briefly in appendices. (Author)
