TABLE OF CONTENTS The collection of calculations in this part deals with a variety of circumstances encountered in industrial settings. They are as follows:
The fabrication of sheet- and fiberlike materials
High-temperature gas turbine components
Hammer-bank coils on a high-speed dot-matrix printer
Fuel cells
Large turbogenerators
Double-paned windows
Contributors include academics, an engineer working in industry, and a consultant. All of the calculations are steady-state and mostly involve cooling using gases and liquids. Determination of heat-transfer coefficients, a subject encountered later in this handbook, is a key factor in several calculations. Thermal resistance plays an important role.

A method is developed for determining the heat transfer between a moving sheet that passes through a moving fluid environment. The method also enables the streamwise variation of the sheet temperature to be determined. The numerical information needed to apply the method is presented in tabular form. With this information, the desired results can be calculated by algebraic means.
In the fabrication of sheet- and fiberlike materials, the material...
