Heat transfer — a review of 1992 literature

Abstract

THIS REVIEW surveys and characterizes papers comprising various fields of heat transfer that were published in the literature during 1992. It is intended to encompass the English language literature, including English translations of foreign language papers, and also includes many foreign language papers for which English abstracts are available. The literature search was inclusive, however, the great number of publications made selections in some of the review sections necessary. Several conferences during 1992 were devoted to heat transfer or included heat transfer topics in their sessions. They will be briefly discussed in chronological order in this section. The International Center for Heat and Mass Transfer was especially active in organizing meetings and Symposia. The Spacio-Temporal Structure and Chaos in Heat and Mass Transfer Processes was discussed in a symposium on 21-24 May in Athens, Greece. A seminar on Imaging in Transport Processes was held in the same town on 25-29 May. Proceedings for ICHM symposia are available at Hemisphere Publishing Corp. or at the Center. The 37th ASME International Gas Turbine and Aeroengine Congress and Exposition (ASME Turbo Expo) contained in its program eight sessions on blade cooling, hot gas path heat transfer, film cooling, and unsteady turbine heat transfer. It was held in Cologne, Germany on l-4 June. Papers presented at the conference are available at the ASME order department. The Second International Conference on Advanced Computational Methods in Heat Transfer -was organized by the Wessex Institute of Technology at Milan, Italy on 7-10 July. Papers are published by Computational Mechanics Publications. The 28th National Heat Transfer Conference and Exhibition on 9-12 August in San Diego, California discussed in general and poster sessions, panel discussions, symposia, and an open forum topics ranging over the whole field of heat transfer and its applications. The 1992 Donald Q. Kern Lecture was held by Hans K. Fauske on “Ptevention and Mitigation of Hazardous Chemical Releases” and the Max Jakob Memorial Award Lecture by Franz Mayinger discussed “Heat Transfer and Bubble Dynamics in NonEquilibrium Two-Phase Flow”. The Max Jakob Medal and the Donald Q. Kern Award were presented to the speakers at a special dinner. Proceedings of the conference am available at the ASME order department or as AIChE title “Heat Transfer”, Volume 88, San Diego, 1992. The International Center for Heat and Mass Transfer organized an International Symposium on Heat Transfer in Turbomachinery together with a poster session on 24-28 August in Athens, Greece. Conference papers are published by Hemisphere Publishing Corporation. The First European ThermalSciences and 3rd UK National Heat Transfer Conference, 16-18 September in Birmingham, U.K. presented papers on boiling and condensation, heat exchangers, natural convection, nuclear reactors, combustion, radiation and chemical reactions, convection, fouling, and heat transfer to and from solids. Invited lectures by M. G. Carvalho, M. Cumo, F. Mayinger, and P. le QuCr6 on numerical methods, high heat flux, compact heat exchangers, and chaos rounded off the program. The ASME Winter Annual Meeting took place in 8-13 November at Anaheim, California. Heat transfer sessions dealt with basic processes and with applications like biological heat transfer, gas turbines, powder processing, fire and combustion, heat pipes, environment, non-CFC refrigeration, super-conduction, thermoplastic composites, materials processing and electronic packaging. Heat Transfer Memorial Awards were presented to Vijay K. Dhir, Wataru Nakayama, and Thomas F. Irvine, Jr. Richard J. Goldstein was made an honorary ASME member. A list of books related to heat transfer and new journals published during 1992 is presented on the following pages. To facilitate the use of the review, a listing of the subject items is made below in the order in which they appear in the text. The letter which appears adjacent to each subject heading is also added to the references cited in each category.
