Abstract: | A series of systematic experiments for measuring transient natural andforced convected heat fluxes in a one-sided heated vertical channel have beenconducted. The total heat input in transient natural and forced experiments iscomposed of four kinds modes: radiative heat loss, conductiveheat lossm, thermal capacity of the plate, and convective heat transfer in thetest channel. In the transient periods, the generalized correlations for estimatingtransient convective heat flux are proposed in natural and forced convectionexperiments. By using the proposed qc″ distributions, satisfactory agreementsare achieved between the transient Nux predictions and experimentaldata. |
