    • Slug flow 

      Griffith, P.; Wallis, Graham B. (Cambridge, Mass. : Division of Sponsored Research, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1959], 1959)
      Introduction: When two phases flow concurrently in a pipe, they can distribute themselves in a number of different configurations. The gas could be uniformly dispersed throughout the liquid in the form of small bubbles. ...

    • Thermal contact resistance in a non-ideal joint 

      Roca, Richard T.; Mikic, B. B. (Cambridge, Mass. : M.I.T. Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, [1971], 1971)
      The contact conductance at an interface can be determined by knowing the material and surface properties and the interfacial pressure distribution. This pressure distribution can be influenced strongly by the roughness of ...

    • The effect of surface conditions on nuceate pool boiling heat transfer to sodium 

      Marto, P. J.; Rohsenow, Warren M. (Cambridge, Mass. : M.I.T. Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, [1965], 1965)
      A simplified theoretical model for bubble nucleation stability has been proposed, and an approximate stability criterion has been developed. This criterion contains both fluid and surfqce properties, and it predicts that ...
