Journal of engineering physics Aims and scope

Abstract

A study was made of natural convection in horizontal cylindrical gaps. For hot tubes of small diameters, the convection factor has been related not only to the Rayleigh number but also to the geometrical dimensions (diameter of the hot tube and relative gap width). The construction of experimental tubes is also described.
