An empirical correlation for electrohydrodynamic enhancement of natural convection.

Author(s) : PASCUAL C. C., STROMBERGER J. H., JETER S. M., et al.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The correlation is supported with results from two different experiments; natural convection from a thin platinum wire immersed in R123 with a uniform electric field, and natural convection from a flooded tube immersed in R123 in a non-uniform electric field. The Nusselt number enhancement is correlated in terms of a "corrected electrical Rayleigh number", to account for the effect of a non-uniform electric field on natural convection.
