"This research is an extension of previous work on the development of an integrator or resistance-capacitance circuit analogy for natural convection. As a part of a larger project to enhance transport phenomenon on a micro-scale using radiation, this work studied the phenomenon of natural convection. Using experimental techniques and numerical simulations (FLUENT code), it investigated the transient response of a natural convection system. It proposes an integrator circuit analogy for a natural convection system. Experimental investigation with three different fluids indicated that the characteristic time constant of the system is related to the Prandtl number of the fluid. The project …
