From page 7... ... OTTINO AND STEPHEN DAVIS S GEORGE BANKOFF, professor emeritus of chemical engineering at Northwestern University, whose research into the fundamentals of heat transfer and two-phase flow won him recognition in the fields of chemical and nuclear engineering, died July 13, 2011. Read the entire page →
From page 8... ... During his 33 years at Northwestern, George conducted research on a wide variety of topics in multiphase heat transfer and fluid mechanics, many of which are related to nuclear reactor safety, including bubble nucleation and growth in boiling, heat conduction and diffusion with phase changes, vapor explosions, and stability of thin liquid films under heating. He established that surface cavities, rather than projections, were the sites for bubble nucleation in boiling, and he developed the necessary conditions for their stability. Read the entire page →
From page 9... ... He served as chairman of the advisory committee of Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Engineering Technology Division, and as a member of the U.S.-USSR Cooperative Program in Heat and Mass Transfer. George's children said that they first learned about their father's work in "boiling heat transfer" when they spent a summer in Pasadena when he was working at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, but it was not until 10 years later that they learned he had worked on the design of the reentry heat shield on the Mercury space capsule.
