...Calvin H. Li; Ting Li; Paul Hodgins; G. P. Peterson Spherical glass and copper beads have been used to create bead packed porous structures for an investigation of two-phase heat transfer bubble dynamics under geometric constraints. The results demonstrated a variety of bubble dynamics...

...Basant Singh Sikarwar; Nirmal Kumar Battoo; Sameer Khandekar; K. Muralidhar Experimental observations of dropwise condensation of water vapor on a chemically textured surface of glass and its detailed computer simulation are presented. Experiments are focused on the pendant mode of dropwise...

...Georges El Hitti; Maroun Nemer; Khalil El Khoury This paper is devoted to the simulation of 3D transient radiation and conduction heat transfer occurring inside thin glass sheets undergoing high temperature processing. The glass is considered as an absorbing, emitting, and nonscattering medium...

... technique is unique because it avoids determining the effective thermal diffusivity and quantifying the boundary heat flux. The technique is used to measure the effective thermal conductivity of glass-water, glass-air, and steel-air systems. These systems yield solid-fluid conductivity ratios of 1.08, 25.7...

...Zhiyong Wei; Kok-Meng Lee; Serge W. Tchikanda; Zhi Zhou; Siu-Ping Hong This paper presents a method of modeling the radiative energy transfer that takes place during the transient of joining two concentric, semitransparent glass cylinders. Specifically, we predict the two-dimensional transient...

...Mark J. Varady, Grad. Res. Assistant; Andrei G. Fedorov, Asst. Prof. Understanding of heat transfer in glass foams and the development of theoretical tools for predicting heat transfer properties of glass foams is critical to improving the efficiency of glass manufacturing. In this paper, combined...

.... The temperature history of a glass plate during pulsed ultraviolet (UV) laser heating is predicted. The results show that the two-photon absorption can compress the volume-absorbing effect to surface absorption and increase the peak temperature on the glass surface. This will reduce the damage threshold, increase...

...Cinzia Buratti Thermal stress can damage fragile materials such as glass. It is a worrisome problem if the glass is a work of art, such as the polychromatic window of Arrigo Fiammingo (1565), in the Cathedral of Perugia, the topic of this paper. The window surface, irradiated by sunlight, suffers...

...Lei Li, Graduate Student Researcher, Mem. ASME; Ted D. Bennett, Assistant Professor, Mem. ASME Laser zone texture is a new approach to improve tribology performance of high aerial density disks made with glass substrates. In this process, nanotexture is introduced to the surface by discrete laser...
