An experimental investigation of natural convection heat transfer from vertical flat plates in mercury

Creator:

White, Donald Henry

Abstract:

Heat transfer from a vertical flat plate in an infinite pool of mercury was investigated. Velocity profiles were measured with a hot-film anemometer and simultaneous temperature profiles measured with thermocouples in this low Prandtl number liquid metal. Constant heat flux plates at Grashof numbers of 9 x 10⁸ and 4...
