The Effect of Restriction Shape On Laminar Natural Convection Heat Transfer In A Vertical Circular Tube

Natural convection heat transfer is experimentally investigated for laminar air flow in a vertical circular tube by using the boundary condition of constant wall heat flux in the ranges of (RaL) from (1.1*109) to (4.7*109). The experimental set-up was designed for determining the effect of differen...
