Forced Convection Heat Transfer From an Isothermal Sphere to Water

Abstract: Heat transfer from a spherical heating element by forced convection occurs in many situations of practical importance. While the present investigation stems from interest in spherical fuel elements for liquid-cooled nuclear reactors, similar heat-transfer conditions may prevail in chemical process reactors and in other engineering applications. Previously reported measurements of convective heat-transfer coefficients from spheres to liquids have been limited to low Reynolds numbers and to negligibly small temp… Show more

“…For the forced convection correlations, he divided the correlations into two ranges with Re " 1800 as the point where the slope of the correlations changed. Later, Vliet and Leppert [18] carried out an experimental study with water, for Reynolds numbers in the range between 940 and 5ˆ10 4 , considering the effect of the variation of water properties and natural convection. Galloway and Sage [19] reviewed previous works measuring Nusselt and Sherwood numbers and highlighted the importance of turbulence level and sphere diameter.…”
