The effect of surface roughness and waviness upon the overall thermal contact resistance
(Cambridge, Mass. : M.I.T. Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, [1966], 1966)
A thermal contact conductance equation was developed which considers both the effect of surface roughness and waviness. It was shown that the overall thermal contact conductance is determined by the roughness at large ...
The effects of surface conditions on boiling characteristics
(Cambridge, Mass. : M.I.T. Engineering Projects Laboratory, [1972], 1972)
A unified model relating surface variables to the nucleate pool boiling characteristics was developed. A simple vapor trapping mechanism was postulated and a geometrical model constructed for idealized conical cavities ...
Thermal contact resistance
(Cambridge, Mass. : M.I.T. Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, [1966], 1966)
This work deals with phenomena of thermal resistance for metallic surfaces in contact. The main concern of the work is to develop reliable and practical methods for prediction of the thermal contact resistance for various ...
