MEASUREMENTS OF CONVECTIVE HEAT TRANSFER FROM A HORIZONTAL CYLINDER ROTATING IN A POOL OF WATER

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4704349
Measurements of heat transfer from a horizontal cylinder rotating in water are given. The experimental results were correlated by the equation Nu = 0.11 Re/sup 0.68/. Pr/sup 0.4/ for a range of rotating Reynolds numbers from 1000 to 46,000, and Prandtl numbers from 2.2 to 6.4. This equation compares very well with the experimental and theoretical information availabie for air in published works. The analogy suggested by Anderson and Saunders between natural convection from a horizontal plate and the present type of flow was used to predict the Nusselt numbers. Analytical and experimental results were found to compare very well with each other. (auth)
