LAMINAR NATURAL CONVECTION BETWEEN FINITELY CONDUCTING VERTICAL PLATES.

Author(s) : BURCH T., RHODES T., ACHARYA S.

Type of article: Article

Summary

RESULTS ARE OBTAINED FOR GRASHOF NUMBERS OF 10, 1,000 AND 1,000,000, WALL-TO-FLUID CONDUCTIVITY RATIOS OF 1 AND 10, CHANNEL HEIGHT-TO-WIDTH RATIOS OF 0,5, 1 AND 5 AND WALL THICKNESS-TO-WIDTH RATIOS OF 0,1 AND 0,5. RESULTS INDICATE THAT CONDUCTION HAS A SIGNIFICANT INFLUENCE ON THE NATURAL CONVECTION HEAT TRANSFER, PARTICULARLY AT HIGH GRASHOF NUMBERS, LOW CONDUCTIVITY RATIOS AND HIGH WALL THICKNESS-TO-CHANNEL WIDTH RATIOS. THE INTERFACE TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION IS NON-UNIFORM. BOTH VELOCITY AND TEMPERATURE PROFILES ARE SIGNIFICANTLY INFLUENCED BY CONDUCTION.
