Natural convective heat transfer from a horizontal cylinder to fluid at near-critical condition

Experiments on natural convective heat transfer from heated horizontal cylinder to a fluid were performed for a wide range of bulk condition. At near-critical states the deviation of the dimensionless heat transfer coefficient from a Nusselt-type correlation was observed. This phenomenon may be expl...

Summary:Experiments on natural convective heat transfer from heated horizontal cylinder to a fluid were performed for a wide range of bulk condition. At near-critical states the deviation of the dimensionless heat transfer coefficient from a Nusselt-type correlation was observed. This phenomenon may be explained by existence of three boundary layers.
