Abstract
The results of experimental investigation of free convection heat transfer in a rectangular container are presented. The ability of the commonly accepted correlation equations to reproduce present experimental data was tested as well. It was assumed that the examined geometry fulfils the requirement of no-interaction between heated cylinder and bounded surfaces. In order to check this assumption recently published correlation equations that jointly describe the dependence of the average Nusselt number on Rayleigh number and confinement ratios were examined. As a heat source served electrically heated horizontal tube immersed in an ambient fluid. Experiments were performed with pure ethylene glycol (EG), distilled water (W), and a mixture of EG and water at 50%/50% by volume. A set of empirical correlation equations for the prediction of Nu numbers for Rayleigh number range 3.6 × 104 < Ra< 9.2 × 105 or 3.6 × 105 < Raq <14.8 × 106 and Pr number range 4.5 ≤ Pr ≤ 160 has been developed. The proposed correlation equations are based on two characteristic lengths, i.e., cylinder diameter and boundary layer length.
