The characteristic length on natural convection from a horizontal heated plate facing downwards

Abstract: Natural convection from a downward facing horizontal heated plate was analyzed. An expression for the thickness of the thermal boundary layer was obtained in terms of Rayleigh number. Assuming this thickness as the characteristic length of the problem, the data published by other authors were modified and an equation for Nusselt number is presented. It was observed that this equation correlates the data more precisely than the commonly known equations in the literature that employ the ratio of the area to the … Show more

“…Q̇s en and Q̇l at are the interphase sensible heat and latent heat flux, respectively; h L (T S , p) is the saturated enthalpy of the liquid phase; h denotes the convection heat transfer coefficient between vapor and liquid phase. For convective heat transfer, the empirical relationship from Kozanoglu and Rubio [38,39] is used:…”

“…Samie et al [3] analytically analyzed the natural-convection heat transfer below a hot horizontal isothermal flat strip of infinite length. Kozanoglu and Rubio [4] introduced a Nusselt number correlation for the natural-convection from a downward facing horizontal heated plate in which the characteristic length is defined based on the thermal boundary-layer thickness. The natural-convection flows over a semi-infinite horizontal plate subjected to variable heat flux or variable wall temperature have been presented in [5,6].…”

“…provided a one-dimensional model for containment in AP1000 nuclear power plant based on thermal stratification [5], Janusz Dziak et al have provided the results of numerical simulation of the cooling process through a thin layer of water [6], Ye Cheng et al have studied numerically passive cooling process in a relatively long period of time numerically[7]. Hendro Tjahjono [8] has developed a MATLAB-based analysis program for the optimal splash flow rate to produce the highest heat transfer capability, and Kozanoglu et al [9] have also contributed to publish the results of research on cooling through evaporation of a thin layer. Containment volume effect on the pressure and temperature during LOCA in AP1000 reactor containment has been studied by Farzad Choobdar Rahim [10].…”
