Free Convection Velocity Calculation

This document discusses free convection velocity between two parallel plates separated by 0.6 cm. It verifies the expression for average upward velocity and evaluates the buoyancy factor β for air with walls at 100°C and 20°C. Plugging the temperatures, pressure, and spacing into the equations yields an average upward velocity of 2.3 cm/s, in agreement with the theoretical expression.

Free convection velocity
a) Verify the expression for the average velocity in the upward –
moving stream in eq.10.9-16
b) evaluate β for the conditions given below
c) What is the average velocity in the upward – moving stream
in the system described in fig 10.9-1 for air flowing under
these conditions ?
pressure 1 atm
Temperature of the heated wall 100ᵒC
Temperature of the cooled wall 20ᵒC
Spacing between the walls 0,6 cm
The solution for V2
•V 2
= A [- u]
in wich
A = and
U = and its average over the upward-moving stream is
=A
=
•  

In agreement with Eq 10.9-16


For the conditions of this problem,
T=
•Insertion
  of known values into Eq.10.9-16 (with
average as ( T ) = v ( T ) = 0,1886 / s )
Then gives :

=
= 2,3 cm/s
