An experimental investigation was conducted to determine
characteristics of natural convection of mercury in a vertical channel,
which was open at both ends. Two cases were investigated separately:
1) both walls uniformly and symmetrically heated, and 2) one wall
heated with the other insulated.
Heat transfer correlations in laminar flow...
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...
An experimental investigation was conducted to
better understand the heat transfer process with natural
convection from an array of uniformly heated horizontal
cylinders to mercury.
Five assembly geometries were studied, these being
the single horizontal cylinder, two cylinders with spacing
ratios S/D = 2,3 and 4, (S represents the center-to-center...
Heat transfer and fluid mechanical behavior of water
flowing horizontally in vertically-narrow rectangular
channels was studied in this work. Friction factor and
Nusselt number variations were determined experimentally
for four different wall heating conditions, and for aspect
ratios(height to width) of 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1. Wall
heating conditions...
Heat transfer characteristics and associated temperature and flow fields for natural convection in two-dimensional, square, partitioned and non-partitioned enclosures have been determined for Grashof numbers ranging from 10³ to 10⁶. The vertical side walls of the enclosure are isothermal with all other surfaces assumed to be adiabatic. An adiabatic partition...
