Dimensionless multiplier correcting the Conductive Annulus Heat Transfer Coefficient
U to account for the Natural Thermal Convection effects in the Annulus:
(1) |
U^* = \epsilon_a \cdot U = \epsilon_a \cdot \frac{ \lambda_a}{d_t \cdot \ln (d_{ci}/d_t) }
|
The most popular empirical correlations are:
(2) |
\epsilon = \begin{cases}
1, & \mbox{if } \ {\rm Ra} < 10^3
\\
0.18 \cdot {\rm Ra}^{0.25}, & \mbox{if } \ {\rm Ra} > 10^3
\end{cases} |
|
(3) |
\epsilon = \begin{cases}
1, & \mbox{if } \ {\rm Ra} < 10^3
\\
0.105 \cdot {\rm Ra}^{0.3}, & \mbox{if } \ 10^3 < {\rm Ra} < 10^6
\\
0.4 \cdot {\rm Ra}^{0.2}, & \mbox{if } \ {\rm Ra} > 10^6
\end{cases} |
