Аннотация

Three dimensional conservation equations for mass, momentum and energy have been solved numerically to predict the natural convection flow and temperature field around a short or long solid horizontal cylinder in air in the laminar range of modified Rayleigh number spanning from 104 to 108. Simulations have been done for L/D in the range of 0.05 ≤ L/D ≤ 20 for solid cylinders suspended in air. Interesting flow structures around the solid cylinder have been observed for small and large L/D. It can be found that Nu for a short cylinder is higher than that of Nu for a long cylinder in air for all Ra. New correlations for the average Nu have been developed as a function of L/D (0.05 ≤ L/D ≤ 20) and Ra (104 to 108) for the cylinder. The correlations developed are accurate to the level of ±6% which can be readily used in the industry and academics.
