Heat Transfer Prediction to Supercritical Fluids (SGER)

摘要--CTS-9405237豪厄尔拟议的研究需要资金来调查临界点或临界点附近的流体的热传递特性。已经提出了四项任务：第一，收集有关超临界水和其他流体的热传递的现有数据，并对这些数据进行评估；第二，研究超临界条件下的热交换预测技术；第三，将一种新开发的技术应用于超临界水以外的一种流体；第四，报告结果并分析其应用于其他流体的适用性。该提案是作为探索性研究(SGER)小额赠款提交的，这是PI与热运输和热加工项目主任对话的结果。PI的资格和他在这一领域开展基础工作的能力都是极好的。该提案的相关性、主题领域日益重要的事实，以及结果的不确定性，使这一特定提案成为SGER计划的极佳候选者。

ABSTRACT -- CTS-9405237 Howell The proposed research requests funds to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of fluids at or near the critical point. Four tasks have been proposed: first to gather available data on heat transfer to supercritical water and other fluids and evaluate these data; second, to investigate predictive techniques for heat exchange at supercritical conditions; third, to apply a newly developed technique to one fluid other than supercritical water; and fourth, to report the results and analyze the applicability of the results for application to other fluids. The proposal was submitted as a Small Grant for Exploratory Research (SGER) as a result of conversations between the PI and the Thermal Transport and Thermal Processing Program Director. The qualifications of the PI and his ability to perform fundamental work in this area are excellent. The relevance of the proposal, the fact that the subject area is one of increasing importance, and the uncertainty of the outcome make this particular proposal an excellent candidate for the SGER program.
