Summary

The thermal field and the heat transfer characteristics of a system consisting of two staggered vertical plates cooled by air in free convection were experimentally studied. The parameters investigated included the interplate spacing, the magnitude of the vertical stagger, and the Rayleigh number based on the overall convective heat flux from each plate. The experiments were performed in air. Staggering was found to markedly affect the local heat transfer characteristics of the facing sides of the plates when the interplate distance was relatively small.
