Fully developed laminar natural convection in a vertical parallel-plate duct with constant wall heat flux

Creator:

Aktan, Gülçin

Abstract:

The problem of heat transfer due to free convection in a channel formed by two parallel, isoflux, vertical plates is of considerable importance in electronic cooling applications, thermosiphons, the optimum spacing of plates or components, industrial stacks, heat exchangers, nuclear power plants and combustion involving vertical walls. Although in each...

Fully developed laminar natural convection in a vertical parallel plate channel with symmetric uniform wall temperature

Creator:

Willie, Robert H.

Abstract:

Described in this thesis is an investigation of the fully developed natural convection heat transfer in a vertical channel formed by two infinitely wide parallel plates maintained at a uniform wall temperature. Closed-form solutions for the velocity and temperature profiles are developed along with local and averaged Nusselt numbers. The...
