Abstract
Presented in this paper are the results of natural convection heat transfer between inclined parallel plates. Lower plate is heated isothermally while the upper plate is both unheated and insulated. Plate inclinations were 0∘, 30∘, 45∘ measured from vertical position. Experiments were carried out for different temperature differences in air to determine the effect of plate spacing and plate inclination on heat transfer. It was found that heat transfer rate depends on plate spacing and inclination.
Zusammenfassung
Es werden Ergebnisse aus einer Untersuchung des Wärmeüberganges bei natürlicher Konvektion zwischen geneigten Platten mitgeteit. Die Unterplatte ist isotherm beheizt, während die Oberplatte unbeheizt bleibt und einseitig adiabat gehalten wird. Die Plattenneigung betrug 0∘, 30∘ und 45∘ bezogen auf die Vertikale. Die Experimente wurden in Luft bei verschiedenen Temperaturdifferenzen durchgeführt; sie zeigen den Einfluß des Neigungswinkels und des Plattenabstandes auf den Wärmeübergang.
