Hot Film

The velocity and temperature fields induced by natural convection in liquid gallium were measured. Measurements were taken with and without an external magnetic field applied to the liquid gallium. The velocity field was measured with a hot-film anemometer and the temperature field with a thermocouple. The hot film was calibrated over a narrow range of temperatures in a rotating turntable filled with liquid gallium. The external magnetic field damped both the velocity and temperature fields compared to similar conditions when no external magnetic field was present. The experimental results compared reasonably well with previous numerical predictions.

Maximum Heat Transfer

Heat transfer resulting from the natural convection in a fluid layer contained in an infinite horizontal slot bounded by solid walls and subject to a spatially periodic heating at the lower wall has been investigated. The heating produces sinusoidal temperature variations along one horizontal direction characterized by the wave number α with the amplitude expressed in terms of a suitably defined Rayleigh number Rap. The maximum heat transfer takes place for the heating with the wave numbers α = 0(1) as this leads to the most intense convection. The intensity of convection decreases proportionally to α when α→0, resulting in the temperature field being dominated by periodic conduction with the average Nusselt number decreasing proportionally to α2. When α→∞, the convection is confined to a thin layer adjacent to the lower wall with its intensity decreasing proportionally to α−3. The temperature field above the convection layer looses dependence on the horizontal direction. The bulk of the fluid sees the thin convective layer as a “hot wall.” The heat transfer between the walls becomes dominated by conduction driven by a uniform vertical temperature gradient which decreases proportionally to the intensity of convection resulting in the average Nusselt number decreasing as α−3. It is shown that processes described above occur for Prandtl numbers 0.001 < Pr < 10 considered in this study.
