Type of article: Article

Summary

THE HEAT TRANSFER CORRELATION, MINIMUM TEMPERATURE, AND MEAN TEMPERATURE ARE PRESENTED FOR PSEUDOSTEADY STATE NATURAL CONVECTION HEAT TRANSFER TO A FLUID INSIDE A VERTICAL CYLINDER. THE SIMPLER NUMERICAL METHOD WAS USED FOR CALCULATION IN THE RANGE 0.25 LOWER THAN H/D LOWER THAN 2, RAYLEIGH NUMBER LOWER THAN 10 MILLIONS AND PRANDTL NUMBER = 7. THIS RANGE INCLUDES CONDUCTION TO WEAK TURBULENCE. THE OVERALL HEAT TRANSFER FOR THE CONVECTION-DOMINATED RANGE WAS FOUND. CORRELATIONS USING OTHER TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCES ARE ALSO PRESENTED AND PROVIDE A METHOD FOR PREDICTION OF THE MEAN TEMPERATURE, MINIMUM TEMPERATURE, OR CENTER TEMPERATURE BY KNOWING ANY ONE OF THEM.
