摘要: Abstract A study was conducted to investigate the effects of density inversion on free convective heat transfer in a porous layer heated from below. Glass beads water composed medium. For upper boundary at 4 and 8°C, thus eliminating effect onset convection, critical Rayleigh number found be 4π2. The evaluated by maintaining temperature 0°C. convection dependent two thermal parameters which are functions temperatures coefficients representing fluid density-temperature relation. Nusselt can represented terms modified number. heat-transfer rate significant decrease as difference across increases. small AT, causes much 100 per cent less than under non-density conditions.
