An Experiment study concerning Natural convection frome a Horizontal Thin wire
Authors
Abstract:
An experimental investigation was carried out to determine heat transfer coefficients for natural convection from a heated horizontal wire. The heating is provided by electrical current, and the temperature of the wire is determined from the measurement of its resistance. The experiments are performed in three different convective environments: air, water, and oil. Prandtl number ranged between 0.702 and 5864, while the Grashof number and Rayleigh number varied respectively from 2.6×10-6 to 8.7 and 0.015 to 26. The Nusselt number results are correlated as a function of Rayleigh number, without dependence on Prandtl number.

Natural convection between two horizontal coaxial cylinders
The objective of our paper is to start the theoretical investigation of the most commonly used mathematical model for natural convection in a horizontal annulus. First, one shows existence of solutions for the unsteady problem. Then, for any Prandtl number and inverse relative gap width, existence and stability of a steady solution is proved, provided that the Rayleigh number is sufficiently sm...

Literature about entropy generation analysis of a wavy enclosure is scare. In this paper. a FORTRAN cod using an explicit finite-volume method was provided for estimating the entropy production due to the natural convection heat transfer in a cosine wavy absorber solar collector. The volumetric entropy generation terms both the heat transfer term and the friction term were straightly calculated...

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 ...

full textNatural convection in a horizontal cylinder with axial rotation.
We study the problem of thermal convection in a laterally heated horizontal cylinder rotating about its axis. A cylinder of aspect ratio Γ=H/2R=2 containing a small Prandtl number fluid (σ=0.01) representative of molten metals and molten semiconductors at high temperature is considered. We focus on a slow rotation regime (Ω<8), where the effects of rotation and buoyancy forces are comparable. T...

Natural heat convection of water-based alumina (Al2O3/water) nanofluids (with volume fraction 1% and 4%) in a horizontal cylinder is numerically investigated. The whole three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) procedure is performed in a completely open-source way. Blender, enGrid, OpenFOAM and ParaView are employed for geometry creation, mesh generation, case simulation and post pr...
