heat in history Artwork—A Review of Research Work Done by Professor Arthur (Art) E. Bergles

Abstract

Professor Arthur E. Bergles has made major contributions in a number of areas in heal transfer. This article presents a review of 300 papers published by him, and with his students and co-workers, through December 1996. Professor Bergles' research work can be broadly categorized into seven areas: (1) enhanced heat transfer, (2) two-phase flow and heat transfer, (3) heat transfer to refrigerants (boiling and condensation), (4) cooling of electronic components, (5) laminar internal flow, (6) review and general articles, and (7) history of heat transfer. This research, conducted over more than 30 years, has produced a wealth of high-quality experimental data, theoretical models, and practical applications. One of the major objectives of this article is to highlight these contributions and identify their sources, to facilitate future researchers and designers in developing new theoretical models and in designing industrial equipment. The present article presents a comprehensive survey of his research work.
