Book Description
Analytical and numerical study of steady-state laminar natural convection and conduction has been performed for an enclosure between concentric vertical cylinders. The inner and outer cylinders were isothermal, and the connecting top and bottom walls were adiabatic. A concentric baffle was included in the annulus, and the flow field and local heat transfer were investigated. The parameters of most interest in this study were the relative conductivity of the baffle and the properties of the fluid. A wide range of relative conductivities, Prandtl numbers, and Rayleigh numbers was investigated, assuming a particular cavity geometry with and without the baffle. The effect of a finite conductivity wall on the outside of the vertical annulus as well as the effect of high aspect ratio were also studied for low Prandtl number fluids (liquid metals). Results show that the relative conductivity of the concentric baffle affects the structure of the flow and the local Nusselt numbers. With increasing Rayleigh number, this effect diminishes. Multicellular flow is observed in each of the annular channels with increasing baffle conductivity ratio. A relatively low conductivity baffle promotes uniform channel flow in the annuli at lower Rayleigh numbers. The heat transfer results show that the baffle has an insulating effect at high Rayleigh numbers regardless of its conductivity. For the annulus with an outside wall of finite conductivity, results show that the relative conductivity of the wall is an important variable in determining the temperature of the rest of the domain. However, the conductivity of the outer wall had little effect on the structure of the flow field or the maximum velocities. For a higher aspect ratio cavity without an outside wall, the maximum velocities are higher while the overall heat transfer rates are found to be lower. This can be attributed to cavity geometry and the mechanisms for heat transfer above and below the baffle.

Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences
Author: Wade H. Shafer
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461534747
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 421
Book Description
Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 34 (thesis year 1989) a total of 13,377 theses titles from 26 Canadian and 184 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 34 reports theses submitted in 1989, on occasion, certain univer sities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.
