Abstract: The goal of this project was to assess the potential benefits of using a highly-controlled surface wettability to preferentially condense and locate water droplets on a heat transfer surface during the early stages of frost growth and to more completely drain melted frost during a defrost cycle. A thinner, denser frost layer may lead to improved ai...

a. lists and defines the terms for rating the thermal performance of liquid-to-liquid heat exchangers;
b. establishes the methods of test to be used as a basis for obtaining the thermal performance ...

Abstract: ABSTRACT
In this study, aerodynamic performance was measured experimentally for three propeller fans subjected to systematic variation of inlet flow components. The inlet conditions were intended to simulate installations of fans typically encountered in the field. The aerodynamic performance penalties associated with the vario...
