Abstract
Experimental values and comparisons with previously proposed analytical solutions are presented for the surface coefficient of heat transfer by convection from a rotating body. The particular case investigated was that of an upward-facing heated circular plate rotated in ambient air about a vertical axis normal to its surface. It was observed that for Reynolds numbers less than 500,000 both natural and forced-convection phenomena were of importance, while at Reynolds numbers greater than 500,000 forced convection alone was of prime significance. Curves and equations are presented which permit the calculation of heat transfer by convection from such a surface.Keywords
