Abstract
Natural convection heat transfer experiments from two parallel horizontal cylinders were performed varying the Pitch-to-Diameter ratio (P/D) of 1.02-9 at Sc of 2,014 to 8,334 and $Ra_D$ of $1.5{\times}10^8$ to $4.5{\times}10^{10}$. Mass transfer experiments that are analogous to the heat transfer experiments were performed using copper electroplating system. In all cases, the measured heat transfer rates for the lower cylinder agreed well with the existing heat transfer correlations developed from a single cylinder. For laminar flows, the measured heat transfer rates of the upper cylinder were less than those of the lower cylinder at P/D less than about 1.5. However, as the P/D increased, the heat transfer rates of the upper cylinder increased. For turbulent flows, the heat transfer rates of the upper cylinder were considerably similar to those of the lower cylinder when the P/D is approximately unity. In contrast, as the P/D increased, the heat transfer rates of the upper cylinder were always higher than those of the lower cylinder.
