Convective Heat Transfer for Ship Propulsion.

Abstract

For application to gas turbine cycle and Rankine cycles in Naval propulsion, measurements and analyses have been conducted of the following topics: heat transfer to mixtures of gases; heat transfer to pulsating, turbulent gas flow, dissociating gas power cycles; heat transfer at a smooth-to-rough transition; numerical prediction of flow and heat transfer from ribbed surfaces; turbulent heat transfer in a swirl flow downstream of an abrupt pipe expansion and heated; laminarizing gas flows. Keywords: Pulsating flow; Turbulent flow, Tubes; Boundary layers; Gas turbine systems; Forced convection; Heat exchangers; Laminar flow; Augmentation; Enhancement; Brayton cycle; Dissociating gases; Rough walls; Complex flows.
