Abstract

Heat transfer by natural convection along a vertical flat plate was investigated semi-analytically. In natural convection, measurements of turbulent quantities near the wall are usually difficult as a result of strong temperature fluctuations. On the other hand, a number of attempts to describe turbulent heat transfer have been made and reliable data were presented. Therefore, in this study, a penetration model was introduced and natural-convection heat transfer was considered in relation to its turbulent structure.

Experimental study of heat-transfer enhancement in turbulent natural convection along a vertical flat plate; Part 1: The effect of injection and suction

Journal Article Inagaki, Terumi; Komori, Katsuo - Heat Transfer - Japanese Research; (United States)

To attain a high enhancement rate in convective heat transfer, deformation or destruction of the boundary layer by some methods, including active and passive enhancement methods, is a necessary condition. For instance, the application of fluid injection or suction to the temperature field is one of the most fundamental active methods. Although several attempts of heat-transfer enhancement have been investigated in laminar and turbulent forced convection, any effective enhancement techniques for heat transfer of turbulent natural convection have not yet been discussed. In particular, it is important to analyze its enhancement mechanism when only natural convection is applicable to cooling.more »« less
Turbulent heat transfer with combined forced and natural convection along a vertical flat plate. Effect of Prandtl number

Journal Article Inagaki, T; Kitamura, K - Heat Transfer - Japanese Research; (USA)

The turbulent heat transfer of combined forced and natural convection along a vertical flat plate was investigated experimentally both with aiding and opposing flows of air. Local heat-transfer coefficients were measured in the vertical direction. The results show that the local Nusselt numbers for aiding flow become smaller than those for the forced and the natural convection, while the Nusselt numbers for the opposing flow are increased significantly. These results are compared with the previous results for water. It has been found that the nondimensional parameter Z(= Gr{sub x}*/Nu{sub x}Re{sub x}){sup 2.7}Pr{sup 0.6} can predict the behavior of heat transfermore »« less
Turbulent heat transfer with combined forced and natural convection along a vertical flat plate

Journal Article Inagaki, T; Kitamura, K - Heat Transfer - Japanese Research; (USA)

The mechanisms of the retardation and enhancement of heat transfer in the combined convection region of aiding and opposing flows were investigated both experimentally and analytically. The surface temperature distributions were visualized by a liquid crystal sheet. The results show that low-temperature streaks or spots of large sizes appear in the whole regions of forced, natural, and combined convections, and they exert a significant role a on the heat transfer. Such low-temperature streaks or spots are generated as a result of the penetration of low-temperature fluid lumps into the near wall regions. The surface renewal model is proposed to simulatemore »« less
Turbulent forced and free convection along a vertical flat plate (opposing flow)

Journal Article Inagaki, T; Kitamura, K - Heat Transfer - Japanese Research; (United States)

This paper reports on an opposing flow of turbulent combined forced and natural convection along a vertical flat plate heated with a uniform heat flux that was investigated experimentally. The local heat-transfer coefficients along the vertical direction were measured at high Rayleigh and Reynolds numbers. It was found that the heat-transfer rates in the combined convection region became much larger than those for both the pure forced and pure natural convection. The natural, forced, and their combined convection regions are classified in terms of the nondimensional parameter, {zeta} = (Gr{sub x}*/Nu{sub x}Re{sub x}{sup 2.7}). These results are then compared withmore » those for aiding flow.« less
Turbulent natural and mixed convection along a vertical plate

Conference Abu-Mulaweh, H; Armaly, B; Chen, T; ...

Measurements of turbulent boundary-layer air flow in natural and mixed convection adjacent to an isothermal vertical flat plate are reported. Laser-Doppler velocimeter and cold wire anemometer were used, respectively, to measure simultaneously the mean turbulent velocity and temperature distributions were measured for a temperature difference, {Delta}T, of 30 C between the heated wall and the free stream air at a fixed location x = 3 m (with a corresponding Grashof number Gr{sub x} = 8.55 x 10{sup 10}), and for a range of free stream velocities 0 m/s {le} U{sub {infinity} } {le} 0.41 m/s.
