Free Convection Heat-Transfer from a Vertical Thin Wire

Natural Convection Heat Transfer From Horizontal Cylinders in a Vertical Arra Confined Between Parallel Walls

Laminar natural convection from an array of horizontal isothermal cylinders confined between two vertical walls, at low Rayleigh numbers, is investigated by theoretical and numerical methods. The height of the walls is kept constant, however, number of the cylinders and their spacing, the distance between the walls and Rayleigh number have been varied. The optimal spacing (confining walls) and ...

Natural convection heat transfer in an oscillating vertical cylinder

This paper studies the heat transfer analysis caused due to free convection in a vertically oscillating cylinder. Exact solutions are determined by applying the Laplace and finite Hankel transforms. Expressions for temperature distribution and velocity field corresponding to cosine and sine oscillations are obtained. The solutions that have been obtained for velocity are presented in the forms ...

a comparison between the local free convection heat transfer coefficients of horizontal cylinders in vertical and inclined arrays

laminar free convection heat transfer from vertical and inclined arrays of horizontal isothermal cylinders in air was investigated experimentally and numerically. experiments were carried out using mach-zehnder interferometer and the fluent code was used for numerical study. investigation was performed for vertical and horizontal cylinder spacing from 2 to 5 and 0 to 2 cylinder diameters respec...

Mixed Convection Heat Transfer from a Vertical Plate Embedded in a Bidisperse Porous Medium

This work studies the mixed convection heat transfer from a vertical plate in bidisperse porous media with constant wall temperature. The two-velocity two-temperature model is used to derive the governing equations. The effects of the mixed convection parameter, the inter-phase heat transfer parameter, the modified thermal conductivity ratio, and the permeability ratio on the heat transfer and ...
