The coupled of free convection with surface radiation in an annular region of two concentric vertical cylinders filled with air has been numerically investigated. The steady-state continuity, Navier–Stokes and energy equations were carried out by the finite volume method, and the Discrete Ordinates Method (DOM) was used to solve the radiative heat transfer equation (RTE). The computations have been performed for 103 ≤Ra≤ 106, with the emissivity coefficient of all the walls varying between 0 and 1. The influence of the both, Rayleigh numbers and emissivity coefficient of the wall for fixed height ratio X=0.5 on natural convection and radiation heat transfer in enclosure have been solved. The result shows that surface radiation significantly altered the temperature distribution and the flow patterns, especially at higher Rayleigh numbers. The average Nusselt number has also been discussed for different emissivity through the enclosure.

Frost growth on a cooled vertical cylinder in free convective flow was studied experimentally. A correlation that is based on heat transfer considerations was found to be effective in predicting frost growth rates particularly at relative humidities equal to or greater than 65 percent and growing times equal to or greater than 60 min.

Mean heat transfer rates from a series of circular cylinders mounted vertically in a horizontal air-stream have been measured. Five cylinders were used, having diameters of approximately 19 to 25 mm and heights of approximately 150 to 300 mm. Heat transfer rates from these cylinders were measured at a number of different air velocities ranging from zero to about 1.6 m/s. The results indicate that the heat transfer rate in the combined convection range is higher than it would be under the same conditions with purely free convection or purely forced convection. An attempt has been made to correlate the combined convective heat transfer rates in terms of the heat transfer rates that would exist under the same conditions in these two limiting cases of purely forced and purely free convection.
