Turbulent heat transfer enhancement in rectangular channels with two opposite rib-roughened walls
(1986)
This work presents the results of an experimental investigation into the effects of variations in the channel aspect ratio and rib angle-of-attack, on the friction factor and local heat transfer in rectangular channels ...
Studies of highly functionalized bicyclic ring systems directed towards the total synthesis of [(positive or negative symbol)]-vernolepin
(1986)
Highly functionalized derivatives of the bicyclo[4.3.1]-dec-3-ene (1) ring system were examined as part of an effort to synthesize the sesquiterpene (+)-vernolepin (2). Although vernolepin has been synthesized in other ...
