Experimental Investigation of Overall Heat Transfer Coefficientin Drop wise Condensation
Abstract: The experiments are performed to study the heat transfer characteristics over a drop wise condensation. The phenomenon of drop wise condensation is in which the condensate forms into drops rather than covering the entire cooling surface with a continuous film. In drop wise condensation, heat transfer coefficient produced is 2 to 10 times greater than those produced by film wise condensation. Hence drop wise condensation is desirable as it is …

A Review on Test Facility for Measuring Pressure Drop in Hydroformed Cryopanel
Abstract: Cryopump is a vacuum pump that pumps the gases and vapors by condensing them on a cold surface, by adsorption on porous surfaces or by trapping mechanism. Helium gas which is very light can only be pumped by Cryoadsorption cryopump. Cryoadsorption cryopump cannot be used when working for continuous operation as it pumps the effluent till the saturation state is achieved. Then the absorbed gases are required to be removed …

Mechanism of Cryosurgery: A review
Abstract: The cryosurgery is a useful surgical technique in which the undesirable tissue such as tumors are easily removed by extreme cooling. Cryosurgery’s primitive benefit is that as a percutaneous method, it minimizes the invasiveness and cost associated with conventional surgery. Various types of Cryogens which are used in cryosurgery include nitrogen oxide, liquid nitrogen and liquid argon having boiling temperature of -89.5°C, -196°C, and -187°C respectively. Generally liquid nitrogen (LN2) …
