An experimental investigation of turbulent natural convection in air is described. The results of this study show good agreement with early investigations and remarkable agreement with the analytical correlation of Bayley [4]: Nu = 0.10 Raf for Rayleigh numbers up to 10r2. Extensive measurements of the temperature field indicate a good similarity in the temperature profiles when compared on the basis of the natural coordinatey. The use of power law temperature protiles is shown
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
