Abstract
A numerical and experimental study has been performed on natural convection heat transfer from a horizontal annulus with spacers. The mode of heat transfer in the annulus is changed from conduction to convection at Ra = 10$^{3}$. By increasing wall conductivity, mean Nusselt number is apparently increased at $K_{w}$/K$_{f}$ .leg. 48, but at /K$_{w}$/K$_{f}$ > 48, slightly increased for no spacers, and decreased for vertical spacers and horizontal spacers. The mean Nusselt number can be represented in an exponential function of Grashof number at all conditions. The characterics of natural convection heat transfer show similiarity for no spacers and vertical spacers but show difference for horizontal spacers. The presence of the horizontal spacers increased the convective heat transfer by an average 6 percent over that for the no forced cooling to outer cylinder. The maximum local Nusselt number appears at .theta. = 150.deg. in a conducting tube and .theta. = 30.deg. in an outer cylinder for vertical spacers, and appears at .theta. = 180.deg. in a conducting tube and .theta. = 0.deg. in an outer cylinder for horizontal spacers.spacers.
