The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.1 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.3 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.0002 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.33 SJR: 0.256 SNIP: 0.49 CiteScore™:: 2.4 H-Index: 23

ABSTRAKT

The objective of this study is to calculate film thickness of falling film thickness over circular horizontal tubes considering axial effect of flow along the tube using commercial computational fluid dynamics software. Commonly used six fluids are selected for this study, with modified Galileo number Ga* in the range of 36 to 553. Efforts are made to study variation in geometrical parameters i.e. tube diameter and spacing between the tubes. Commercial CFD code (FLUENT version 13.0.0) is used for simulation over two horizontal tubes considering 3D configurations. Model of coupled volume-of-fluid is used for tracking the motion of liquid falling film and air liquid interface. Results obtained are discussed in terms of effect of modified Galileo number Ga* on average film thickness. It is observed that the nature of film thickness over the tubes is similar to available experimental and numerical data. An attempt is made to propose correlation based on numerical study for film thickness in terms of new composite non-dimensional numbers, tube angle and flow rate.
