CORRELATIONS FOR CONVECTIVE HEAT TRANSFER FROM ROOM SURFACES.

Author(s) : ALTMAYER E. F.

Summary

CORRELATIONS OF THE RATE OF HEAT TRANSFER FROM ROOM SURFACES TO THE ENCLOSED AIR, BASED ON EMPIRICAL AND ANALYTIC EXAMINATIONS OF CONVECTION IN TWO-DIMENSIONAL ENCLOSURES, HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED. THE CORRELATIONS EXTRACTED FROM EXPERIMENTAL DATA BASE EXPRESS THE HEAT TRANSFER RATE IN TERMS OF BOUNDARY CONDITIONS RELATING TO ROOM GEOMETRY AND SURFACE TEMPERATURES. THE CORRELATIONS ARE APPLICABLE TO A CLASS OF ROOM CONFIGURATIONS WITH COLD AND WARM SURFACES ON OPPOSITE VERTICAL WALLS. THE CORRELATION SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVES THE ACCURACY OF HEAT TRANSFER RATE CALCULATIONS IN BUILDINGS.
