Summary

Measurements are reported for several array geometries, for a large range of Rayleigh numbers, and for two orientations (vertical and horizontal fins). The data are believed to be first available for this important geometry. A single equation is provided that correlates the measured Nusselt numbers for the vertical orientation with an rms error of 4.8 percent. The horizontal fin orientation was shown to have inferior heat transfer performance.
