Abstract: | The natural convection flow phenomena that occur inside an enclosed space are very interesting examples of complex fluid systems
that may yield to analytical, empirical and numerical solutions, and many reports have looked into this basic problem. In
the present study, heat transfer and fluid flow for natural convection in a horizontal rectangular container with a free surface
are investigated using infrared thermography. The temperature field was measured and visualized at a gas-liquid (air — silicon
oil) interface using infrared thermography. The heat transfer phenomena were also investigated by statistically analyzing
the temperature data. The applicability of the infrared thermography to quantitative heat transfer measurement at the gas-liquid
interface was evaluated. It is revealed that infrared thermography is effective not only in visualization of a gas-liquid
interface but also in heat transfer measurement. A new heat transfer correlation is proposed for the gas-liquid interface
of this flow system. The coefficient of heat transfer can be summarized by a specific heat transfer correlation formula regardless
of several conditions, including container aspect ratio, fluid viscosity and fluid layer depth. |
