Abstract

The results of an experimental study on natural convection between inclined plates are presented in this paper. Hot plate is facing downwards and heated isothermally. The lower plate is insulated and unheated. The plate inclinations were chosen to be 0 degrees, 30 degrees, 45 degrees and measured with respect to vertical position. Experiments were performed for various temperature differences in air to determine the effect of plate spacing and inclination on natural convection heat transfer. It was observed that plate spacing and inclination influence the heat transfer rate. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
