Study of natural and forced heat transfer coefficients on a vertical heated plate

Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2015, Vol 7, Issue 4

Abstract

Infrared thermography measurement technique is a methodology which detects infrared energy emitted from an object, converts it to temperature, and displays images of temperature distribution. It is a powerful non-invasive methodology for the analysis of surface temperature measurements. The infrared camera represents a truly two-dimensional transducer, allowing for considerably high accurate measurements of surface temperature maps even in the presence of relatively high spatial gradients. The infrared thermography measurement technique is used in this experimental study to estimate the heat transfer coefficient over a flat plate. The main objective of this study was to get insights about the heat transfer in solids and on solid surfaces and its quantitative measurement. An infrared camera was used to calculate the temperature distribution for the evaluation of the heat transfer coefficient. Two study cases were taken into account: a first case without any fluid jet is calculated, where natural convection over the plate emerges due to the buoyancy effect, and a second case where a circular air jet is impinged on the surface - in this case the forced convection heat transfer coefficient has been evaluated.
