Analytical and numerical study of steady-state laminar natural
convection and conduction has been performed for an enclosure between
concentric vertical cylinders. The inner and outer cylinders were
isothermal, and the connecting top and bottom walls were adiabatic. A
concentric baffle was included in the annulus, and the flow field and...
Convection heat transfer was experimentally investigated
for two different geometries. One case had three horizontal
cylinders in a vertical plane placed between two vertical walls.
The second case had three horizontal cylinders in a vertical plane
with only one vertical wall. Several different cylinder center-tocenter
spacings were investigated. The wall...
