标题：Natural Convection Heat Transfer Around a Horizontal Circular Cylinder for the Case of Constant Surface Temperature of the Cylinder Near a Vertical Wall
摘要：Natural convection heat transfer from a single horizontal cylinder near an isothermal wall is experimentally investigated in the environmental chamber. The cylinder is heated with constant temperature, the rising plum from the heated cylinder interacts with the side wall and significantly affects the surface heat transfer distribution. Thus, the distance between horizontal cylinder and side wall can influence the heat transfer. The heat transfer from heated cylinder with different distances were compared. Results are obtained for Ra = 104. It was found that natural convection heat transfer from horizontal cylinder depends on the distance between wall. Also, a heat transfer correlation has been proposed for a single horizontal cylinder near a wall and is compared with earlier work. The results indicate that the vertical wall affect the average Nusselt number at the cylinder. Therefore, the vertical wall has a positive effect on the Nusselt number at the cylinder.
