Abstract This paper reports the results of an experimental investigation of transient, turbulent mixed convection in a vertical channel in which one of the walls
is heated and the other is adiabatic. The goal is to simultaneously estimate the constants in a Nusselt number correlation whose form is assumed
a priori by synergistically marrying the experimental results with repeated numerical calculations that assume guess values of the constants. The
convective heat transfer coefficient “h”is replaced by the Nusselt number (Nu) and the constants in the Nusselt number are to be evaluated. From
the experimentally obtained temperature More >
