Abstract

Natural convection heat transfer coefficients from a single cooled tube in a thin inclined enclosure have been measured for both stratified and unstratified initial conditions. Detailed temperature measurements permit characterization of the natural convection mixing processes in the enclosure. Heat transfer measurements are reduced to a correlation of the form Nu = CRa^0.25. Aggregated results produce estimates of Nusselt numbers that are ∼20 percent larger than those for a heated tube in an infinite fluid.
