摘要:In this study, investigation of radiation and natural convection in cubic enclosure has been carried out. A model of an enclosure representing a room was constructed from polystyrene boards. Two vertical walls are supplied with constant heat flux in the range of 9.4-47.8 W/m2. Temperatures of walls, ceiling, floor and air inside enclosure were measured using a 26 K-type thermocouples under steady state condition. Heat transfer was investigated for Rayleigh numbers in the range 4.4E7 -grater equal- Re -less equal-1.2E8 with Prandtl number of 0.71. Detailed results including temperature profiles and correlation equations for convection heat transfer coefficient in terms of temperature difference between the heated surface temperature and the temperature of the air have been obtained for the walls of the enclosure .
