An Experimental Study Of A Single-Phase Natural Convection In A Cylindrical, Vertical Channel, S. Ali A. Hashemi
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
Presented in this paper is the first known experimental assessment of a single-phase natural convection in a cylindrical, vertical channel subjected to non-uniform or uniform heat flux. This work was conducted at the University of Central Florida in the College of Engineering.
The results of this experimental study were compared with theory. The experimental values of Nusselt numbers (Nu = hD/K) in the entrance and fully-developed regions were somewhat lower and higher, respectively, when compared with theory.
