Summary

CONSIDERATION IS GIVEN TO THE NATURAL TRANSIENT CONVECTION OF A MASS OF WATER INSIDE A CLOSED CAVITY, THE WALL TEMPERATURE OF WHICH DECREASES AT A CONSTANT RATE. IN THE CASE OF WATER COOLED TO ITS MAXIMUM DENSITY TEMPERATURE OF 277 K (4 DEG C) THE HYPOTHESIS OF A LINEAR VARIATION OF DENSITY WITH TEMPERATURE DOES NO LONGER HOLD. IN THAT CASE, AN HYPOTHESIS APPLIES ACCORDING TO WHICH THE COEFFICIENT OF THERMAL EXPANSION IS A LINEAR FUNCTION OF TEMPERATURE. (Bull. CNRS, FR., 82-730-14366.
