Heat Transfer from an Array of Heated Rectangular Elements on an Adiabatic Channel Wall

Abstract

This thesis describes an experimental study to determine the heat transfer characteristics of rectangular elements mounted on an adiabatic wall in a laminar air flow. The study involves forced convection and the determination of the heat transfer coefficients as influenced by the unheated elements. The study is timely in that major concern is the understanding of removal of the generated heat from electrical equipment and electronic devices which utilize microelectronic chips. Keywords: Heat transfers; Adiabatic wall.
