Thermal Contact Conductance of Elastomeric Gaskets

Abstract

channel model have been investigated. For radially outward  ow with Re = 5.5 3 10 and Ro = 0.24, and transverse ribs of various sizes up to D/e = p/e = 10 on the leading and trailing walls, the following conclusions may be drawn: 1) For a Ž xed rib conŽ guration on the leading wall, increasing the size of the ribs on the trailing wall increases the heat (mass) transfer on the leading wall. 2) For a Ž xed rib conŽ guration on the trailing wall, increasing the size of the ribs on the leading wall does not signiŽ cantly affect the heat (mass) transfer on the trailing wall. 3) With rotation at a relatively high speed, the heat (mass) transfer on the leading wall is quite low, regardless of the sizes of the ribs on the leading and trailing walls.
