A SIMPLE ANALYSIS OF HEAT-TRANSFER NEAR AN OSCILLATING INTERFACE

Based on boundary layer renewal, an approximate analysis was carried o ut for the heat transfer from a discrete heat source on a solid wall t o the liquid near an oscillating air/liquid interface and an interface undergoing wave movement. The heat transfer coefficients predicted by the simple analysis are in good agreement with previously reported ex perimental results on air/water as well as results using the air/50% p ropylene glycol aqueous solution systems.
