Abstract

This paper is the report of an experimental study of heat transfer from fine horizontal wires of various lengths to fluids having various Prandtl numbers. Transport characteristics were determined for the full spectrum of processes from natural, through mixed, to forced convection. The experimental results are compared with those of past analysis and with correlations. The very high level of accuracy and reproducibility of the data makes possible the detection of very small effects. The influence of cylinder length on transport is shown for both of the asymptotic rgimes of natural and of forced convection. Transport in the mixed-convection rgime is determined and limits of that rgime are estimated.
