Abstract The free convective heat transfer phenomena in air between two
vertical plates 24 by 38 inches spaced 15.895 mm apart, was investigated in this experimental study. One plate was isothermal and, the
other adiabatic.
A quartz fiber anomometer was used for measuring local
velocities in the air between the vertical plates. A very fine iron-constantan thermocouple was used for local temperature measurements.
Velocity and temperature profiles were obtained at several
vertical positions along the plates.
With the data obtained, local and mean convective heat transfer
coefficients were determined at each vertical position.
