摘要
Experimental study of natural convection heat transfer across air layers bounded by a lower hot rectangular and a square corrugated plates to an upper cold flat plate has been carried out. The surroundings of this space are adiabatic. The effect of the angle of inclination, the aspect ratio, the temperature potential and the Rayleigh number on average heat transfer coefficients are investigated within a range of 0°≤75°,, 2.33≤A≤6.33, 10°≤T ≤35°, and 3.29xl04≤RaL≤ 2.29x106. The developed correlation predicts well the experimental data within an error of ±15%.
