Natural convection heat transfer from a vertical cylinder in liquid sodium

Natural convection heat transfer from a vertical cylinder in liquid sodium was experimentally studied. Two test cylinders of different dimensions were used. They were 7.62 and 17.51 mm in diameter, and 186 and 257 mm in heated length, respectively. The surface heat flux was ranged from 2×104 to 2×10...
