Natural convection in water along a vertical plate with constant surface heat flux

Description

An experimental investigation of natural convection in water along a vertical plate with constant surface heat flux is described. The results show the effects of the variation of the physical properties on heat transfert especially in the transition regime. In this regime, all the exprimental datas are correlated by a single law which includes the variation of viscosity and the critical Rayleigh number

Abstract (French)

A partir d'une etude experimentale, on a determine les lois d'echange de convection naturelle a densite de flux constante dans l'eau. Les resultats obtenus ont confirme la necessite de tenir compte des lois de variations des proprietes physiques et en particulier dans la zone de transition ou l'on propose une correlation unique pour tous les resultats experimentaux, correlation faisant intervenir explicitement la variation de la viscosite et le nombre de Rayleigh critique
