Type of article: Article

Summary

The main purpose of the study was to determine the effect of tilting an initially-vertical cooled section. The results show that forward, or positive, tilts produce very little effect on the heat transfer rate while backward, or negative, tilts produced a dramatic reduction within the first 20 degrees.
