Miscellaneous

Thermo-Fluid Laboratroy

Computational Facilities 

We usually write the codes for the mathematical models in FORTRAN 77 /DIGITAL VISUAL FORTRAN (the compiler and the related books were donated by Flotherm Consultants (P) Ltd., Calcutta, India) for:

(1) Bubble Dynamics (Growth, Collapse and Translation of Vapor Bubble )- Rayleigh Collapse and Thermal Collapse   

(2)  Two-Phase Boiling Flow and Multiphase Flow (DFM4/TFM) in a Boiling Channel / Nuclear Fuel-Rod Bundle

We have hp-workstation (HP Z620 dual-core) with Windows 7. Now we are trying to interface the codes with GNUPLOT for the better visualization of the numerical results.  

Experimental Facilities 

(1) High-Speed Visualization of Two-Phase Boiling Flow  (Phase-Motion Picture) with Fastec HiSpec 5 High-Speed Camera (1696x1710@523fps)

(2) Measurement of Bubble Diameter, Bubble Shape and Bubble Velocity

(3) Measurement of Interfacial Heat Transfer Rate

(4) Measurement of Void Fraction and Pressure Drop 

(5) A Test Loop for Natural Circulation Boiling with LCR meter, DSO, impedance probes (we fabricated)
