    • The effect of surface roughness and waviness upon the overall thermal contact resistance 

      Mikic, B. B.; Yovanovich, M. Michael; Rohsenow, Warren M. (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 ...

    • Refrigerant forced-convection condensation inside horizontal tubes 

      Bae, Soonhoon; Maulbetsch, John S.; Rohsenow, Warren M. (Cambridge, Mass. : M.I.T. Heat Transfer Laboratory, [1970], 1970)
      High vapor velocity condensation inside a tube was studied theoretically. The heat transfer coefficients were calculated by the momentum and heat transfer analogy. The Von Karman universal velocity distribution was applied ...

    • The correlation of nucleate boiling burn-out data 

      Griffith, P. (Cambridge, Mass. : M.I.T. Division of Industrial Cooperation, [1957], 1957)
      A dimensionless correlation is developed for nucleate boiling buzrnout data including the following ranges of variables. Fluids - Water Bensene n - Heptane n - Pentane Ethanol Pressure - 0.0045 to 0.96 of critical pressure ...
