Abstract

As a type of energy, heat can be transferred from heated systems using the natural convection heat transfer method, which has several uses in different industries. Natural convection method of heat conveyance is suitable in many cases due to absent of any external sources like fan. The transfer of this kind of energy can be listed as electrical and electronics equipment, nuclear reactors, domestic convection, dry cooling towers, thermo siphons, installed in ground and many more. On the account of functional continuity and longevity aspect the heat generates due to work execution must be extracted from the machineries. There are various ways, such as provision of vertical tubes and parallel plates to transfer heat from heated system by natural convection method. The improvement of heat transport through the use of natural convection method is probable by facility of internal impediments inside the vertical tube, by the geometrical position of the test section and also depending on material selection. In this work heat transfer properties through two parallel aluminum composite parallel plates have been presented. The magnitude of plate with thickness, breadth and length are 5mm, 150mm and 500 mm correspondingly. The both plates are heated by provision of heating coil. The exterior region of both plates are maintained insulation, the shifting of heat energy is admitted to regulate from interior region towards the top of plates. The constant wall heat flux maintained inside the plate has a magnitude of 2188W/m 2 .The basis aim of this work to find the wall temperature along the plates and air temperature at exit from the plate. The result from experimental set up is compared with theoretical by using ANSYS software
