Abstract: | We present measurements of the Nusselt number N as a function of the Rayleigh number R in cylindrical cells with aspect ratios 0. 5=gamma identical withD/d=12.8 ( D is the diameter and d is the height). We used acetone with a Prandtl number sigma = 4.0 for 10(5) less, similarR less, similar4x10(10). A fit of a power law N = N(0)R(gamma(eff)) over limited ranges of R yielded values of gamma(eff) from 0.275 near R = 10(7) to 0.300 near R = 10(10). The data are inconsistent with a single power law for N(R). For R>10(7) they are consistent with N = asigma-1/12R1/4+bsigma-1/7R3/7 as proposed by Grossmann and Lohse for sigma greater, similar2. |
