| Abstract |
Experiment and numerical calculation have been performed to investigate mixed convection heat transfer between inclined parallel plates. Particle image velocimetry(PIV) with thermo-sensitive liquid crystal(TLC) tracers is used for visualizing and analysis. This method allows simultaneous measurement of velocity and temperature fields at a given instant of time. Quantitative data of the temperature and velocity are obtained by applying the color- image processing to a visualized image, and neural network is applied to the color-to-temperature calibration. The governing equations are discretized using the finite volume method.
The results are presented for the Reynolds number ranges from 0.004 to 0.062, the angle of inclination,, from 0 to 45 degree and Prandtl number of the high viscosity fluid is 909. The results show velocity, temperature and mean Nusselt numbers distributions. It is found that the periodic flow of mixed convection between inclined parallel plates is shown at 0°≤<30°, Re<0.062, and the flow pattern can be classified into three patterns which depend on Reynolds number and the angle of inclination. The minimum Nusselt numbers occur at Re＝0.05 regardless of the angle of inclination. |
