Application of infrared thermography in natural convection study
نویسندگان
چکیده
The main goal of the study is to test the applicability of Infrared Thermography for verification of Thermal Boundary Conditions at external non-isothermal walls bounding the flow domain. Experimental and numerical studies have been made for transient and steady natural convection in a differentially heated cube filled with water. The analysis is carried out for pure convection of water in the vicinity of the freezing region (cold wall temperature Tc= 0 C), and for convection of water accompanied by freezing (Tc ≤ -10 C). The opposite hot wall temperature is fixed at +10C.

متن کاملThe Heat Transport in Turbulent Rayleigh-bénard Convection: Local Scaling Exponents
Using infrared thermography, the dimensionless local wall heat fluxNu(x, y) has been measured with high spatial resolution. The measurements at the heating plate of a cubic Rayleigh-Bénard cell show that the scaling exponent α in the Nu ∝ Ra scaling law depends on the position with respect to the surface. The results have been obtained in a small aspect ratio cell with Γx = 1, Γy = 0.26 and cle...
