77 Process heating, power and incineration (energy applications in industry) Generalized correlation for condensation on vetii95103995 cal fluted surfaces Panchal, C. B. Heat Transfer Engng., Oct.-Dec. 1994, 15, (4), 19-23. A correlation was developed for laminar film condensation on vertical fluted surfaces. The theoretical analysis of Panchal and Bell was used for defining important physical property groups. The experimental data of Combs et al. were used to validate the proposed correlation. The experimental database used in the present study included four flute geometries that could be approximated to cosine-type flutes and seven fluids. The resulting correlation can predict the average condensate heat transer coefficient within +/-20%. Heat pipe science and technology 95103996 Faghri, A. Taylor & Francis, 1900 Frost Road, Suite 101, Bristol, PA.19007, USA, 1995, 874 pp. Written to cover simple, intermediate, and advanced approaches to the theoretical and experimental analysis of heat pipe science, this book emphasizes both the physical significance and mathematical manipulations as well as the technological and experimental issues related to this technology. It also makes a thorough presentation of the basic and advanced techniques available for analyzing various heat pipe systems under a variety of operating conditions. Includes theory, design, manufacturing, and application. Industrial furnace manuf&cturers in a united 95103997 Europe Lelievre, J. Gaz d’aujourd’hui, Mar. 1995, 119, (3), 163-165. (In French) The contribution on industrial furnace manufacturers is the continuation of the report published in the January 1995 issue of Gaz d’aujourd’hui. The opinion of gas-fired equipment manufacturers on European integration is reflected. Industrial robot lends a hand In a Swedish library 95103999 Hansson, R. ABB Review, 1995, (3), 16-18. A new era in library automation began in May, 1994, with the inauguration of what is thought to be the world’s first robotized book handling system to be installed in a public library. The industrial robot, an IRB 2000 from ABB Robotics Products, is at work in the municipal library of Omskoldsvik in northern Sweden, and can accept, register and sort 400 books an hour. Besides speeding up the library service, it eliminates much of the routine physical work that can cause injury to the staff. The installation is a new benchmark for library automation and has attracted the interest of librarians worldwide. Liquid flow and vapor formation phenomena In a 95103999 flat heat pipe McCreery, G. E. Heat Transfer Engng., Oct.-Dec. 1994, 15, (4), 33-41. The design and construction of a novel hear uioe aooaratus is described. and resufis from experiments that employed ihk ap&atus are presented: The apparatus is designed to permit visual and photographic study of liquid flow and vapour formation within the heat pipe wick structure, artery, and vapour flow channel.

Nonisothermal kinetic studies bf reduction-of iron ore ha;e been carried out under increasing temperature conditions. These studies used a commercial thermal analyzer and the moving bed technique. The heating rate is linear in the former and nonlinear in the latter. The theory of nonisothermal kinetics and methods of kinetic parameters evaluation employed are described briefly. It is shown that the presence of an external gas affects the kinetics of the reacting system significantly. The moving bed technique can be effectively used to support and substantiate the kinetic data obtained by standard commercial equipment and to carry out non-isothermal kinetic studies employing larger and bulk samples, under conditions close to those of actual systems. Packed bed thermal storage systems 95104006 Sanderson, T. M. Applied Energy, 1995, 51, (I), 51-67. Experiments were conducted on a vertical flow packed bed sensible thermal storage system. The packing consisted of hollow high density polyethylene spheres filled approximately 95% with water, and water was also used as the working fluid. Experimental results show the effect of altering I$ (the equivalent sphere diameter of the packing) on the degree of axial dispersion in thermally short packings. The significance of thermally short versus thermally long packings to designers of sensible storage packed bed systems is discussed. Experimentally measured average temperature wave velocities in the packing are presented. The significance of natural convection during heat exchanger operation is also demonstrated experimentally. Natural convection may explain instabilities in packed bed convection coefficients reported in the literature. Pump standards 95104007 Hydraulic Institute, 9 Sylvan Way, Parsippany, NJ.07054, USA, $225.00, 692 pp. The Standards cover all major pump types and include nomenclature data, definitions, design and application data, i stallation procedures, and operation and maintenance information.
