Natural Convective Heat Transfer from Short Inclined Cylinders (SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology Book 13)

"Natural Convective Heat Transfer from Short Inclined Cylinders examines a heat transfer situation of significant, practical importance not adequately dealt with in existing textbooks or in any widely available review papers. Specifically, the book introduces the reader to recent studies of natural convection from short cylinders mounted on a flat insulated base where there is an "exposed" upper surface. The authors considers the effects of the cylinder cross-sectional shape, the cylinder inclination angle, and the length-to-cross sectional size of the cylinder. Both numerical and experimental studies are discussed and correlation equations based on the results of these studies are reviewed. This book is ideal for professionals involved with thermal management and related systems, researchers, and graduate students in the field of natural convective heat transfer, instructors in graduate level courses in convective heat transfer."--Font no determinada Chapter 3 Natural Convective Heat Transfer From Short Square Cylinders Having Exposed Upper Surfaces and Mounted on Flat Adiabatic Bases3.1 Introduction; 3.1.1 Numerical Study of Heat Transfer From a Vertical Isothermal Square Cylinder; 3.1.2 Solution Procedure; 3.1.3 Results; 3.1.4 Concluding Remarks; 3.2 Numerical Study of Heat Transfer from an Inclined Isothermal Square Cylinder; 3.2.1 Solution Procedure; 3.2.2 Results; 3.2.3 Concluding Remarks; 3.3 Experimental Study of Heat Transfer from Inclined Square Cylinders; 3.3.1 Experimental Apparatus and Procedure; 3.3.2 Results 3.3.3 Concluding Remarks3.4 Correlation Equation for Inclined Square Cylinder; 3.4.1 Concluding Remarks; 3.5 Numerical Study of Heat Transfer from an Inclined Square Cylinder with a Uniform Surface Heat Flux; 3.5.1 Solution Procedure; 3.5.2 Results; 3.5.3 Concluding Remarks; 3.6 Nomenclature; References; Chapter 4 Natural Convective Heat Transfer from Short Rectangular Cylinders Having Exposed Upper Surfaces and Mounted on Flat Adiabatic Bases; 4.1 Introduction; 4.2 Isothermal Vertical Rectangular Cylinder; 4.2.1 Solution Procedure; 4.2.2 Results; 4.2.3 Concluding Remarks Preface; Contents; Chapter 1 Introduction; 1.1 Introduction; 1.2 Vertical and Horizontal Circular Cylinders; 1.3 Inclined Circular Cylinders; 1.4 Square Cylinders; 1.5 Cylinders with Other Cross-Sectional Shapes; 1.6 Fins; 1.7 The Present Book; 1.8 Numerical Solutions; 1.9 Experimental Studies; 1.10 Nomenclature; References; Chapter 2 Natural Convective Heat Transfer from Short Cylindrical Cylinders Having Exposed Upper Surfaces and Mounted on Flat Adiabatic Bases; 2.1 Introduction; 2.2 Vertical Isothermal Cylinder; 2.2.1 Solution Procedure; 2.2.2 Results 2.2.3 Experimental Results for a Vertical Isothermal Cylinder2.2.4 Concluding Remarks; 2.3 Inclined Isothermal Short Cylinder; 2.3.1 Solution Procedure; 2.3.2 Results; 2.3.3 Concluding Remarks; 2.4 Experimental Results for an Inclined Isothermal Cylinder; 2.4.1 Experimental Apparatus and Procedure; 2.4.2 Results; 2.4.3 Concluding Remarks; 2.5 Effect of a Flat Adiabatic Surface Placed Above a short Cylinder; 2.5.1 Solution Procedure; 2.5.2 Results; 2.5.3 Concluding Remarks; 2.6 Nomenclature; References Front Matter....Pages i-vii Introduction....Pages 1-14 Natural Convective Heat Transfer from Short Cylindrical Cylinders Having Exposed Upper Surfaces and Mounted on Flat Adiabatic Bases....Pages 15-50 Natural Convective Heat Transfer From Short Square Cylinders Having Exposed Upper Surfaces and Mounted on Flat Adiabatic Bases....Pages 51-91 Natural Convective Heat Transfer from Short Rectangular Cylinders Having Exposed Upper Surfaces and Mounted on Flat Adiabatic Bases....Pages 93-128 4.3 Numerical and Experimental Results for a Vertical Rectangular Cylinder Pointing Upward or Downward4.3.1 Numerical Solution Procedure; 4.3.2 Experimental Procedure; 4.3.3 Results; 4.3.4 Concluding Remarks; 4.4 Numerical Results for a Rectangular High Aspect Ratio Vertical Cylinder Pointing Upward or Downward; 4.4.1 Introduction; 4.4.2 Solution Procedure; 4.4.3 Results; 4.4.4 Concluding Remarks; 4.5 Nomenclature; References
