.... Methodologies available in literature for identification of HTD are also examined with the present experimental data. The experimental data are compared with the HTD criteria available in literature and a new criterion for onset of HTD is proposed for vertical flows under natural circulation. Role of buoyancy...

... for SCFs under forced convection conditions, studies related to SCF under natural circulation (NC) mode are very limited. In the present study, extensive experiments have been performed with SC–CO 2 under NC conditions in tube geometry. The experimental data generated for vertical heated test section...

...Dipankar N. Basu; Souvik Bhattacharyya; P. K. Das A model to predict the steady-state behavior of a rectangular two-phase natural circulation loop has been proposed. The analysis employs a one-dimensional two-fluid model to identify various system parameters, with particular emphasis...

...Pietro Garibaldi; Mario Misale The aim of this work is to analyze experimentally the influence of geometrical parameters and fluid properties on the thermal performances of rectangular single-phase natural circulation miniloops, which could be used for cooling of electronic devices. The present...
