The characteristics of natural convection heat transfer combined with radiation in a vertical parallel plates has been investigated experimentally. The vertical channel is consisted with a heated wall and three protruding heating sources attached on the opposite wall. The cooling of modules has been experimented with heating the wall as well as modules themselves at different aspects ratios and heating fluxes. As the location of module is higher, the temperature becomes higher, but the increasement is smaller. When the aspect ratio is lower than 26, its effect on the temperature is not significant rather than that of the radiation heat transfer. Furthermore, the correlation of Nusselt number with the Rayleigh number are attempted, but additional treatment is needed to accomodate the cases of heating module and/or opposite wall.
