Abstract

For laminar flows over slender cylinders, the boundary-layer equations do not admit similarity solutions as do the laminar layers over cylinders with large radius. Consequently, the prediction of heat transfer from such surfaces requires the solution of a system of partial differential equations for different boundary conditions and Prandtl number. In the present paper we study the free-convective heat transfer from slender cylinders subject to uniform wall heat flux. This is done by solving the boundary-layer equations by an efficient numerical method described in reference (1).

    After, the local Nusselt number is approximated considering the frost surface temperature. Fig. 11 shows the behavior of the local Nusselt number (Nucyl) as a function of the surface temperature, calculated based on the method of Cebeci [4]. In all the simulations made, the Grashof number remained low, between 104 and 106.
