The wall jet thickness increases with time until t = tf, when
the maximum wall jet thickness, δv,f, is reached (see Fig.
6.19). Outside the thermal boundary layer, the buoyancy
force is absent and the thickness of the wall jet can be
determined by balancing the inertia and viscosity terms

should be pointed out that the characteristic length for
the Rayleigh and Nusselt numbers used in eqs. (6.221)
and (6.222) is the width of the enclosure, L.
For the shallow enclosure represented by regime IV in
Table 6.2, the horizontal wall jet flows from the left to
right on the top wall and from right to the left on the
bottom wall. Figure 6.21 shows streamlines and
isotherms for natural convection in a shallow enclosure
(H / L = 0.1) heated from the right side and cooled from
the left side.

Example 6.5
A rectangular cavity is formed by two parallel plates, each
with a dimension of 0.5 m by 0.5 m, which are separated
by a distance of 5 cm. The temperatures of the two
plates are 37 °C and 17 °C, respectively. Find the heat
transfer rate from hot plate to cold plate for the
inclination angles of 0°, 45°, 90°, and 180°.

It can be seen that isotherms concentrate near the lower portion of the
surface of the inner cylinder and the upper portion of the surface of
the outer cylinder, which are indications of the development of
thermal boundaries near the heated and cooled surfaces. While the
contours of the streamlines have kidney-like shapes with the center
of the flow rotation moves upward due to effect of natural
convection.
The rate of heat transfer per unit length of the annulus can be
calculated by the following correlation

Equation (6.238) is valid for 0.7 < Pr < 6000 and Ra < 107. The
thermophysical properties of the fluid should be evaluated at the
mean temperature (Ti + To ) / 2. The scales of the thermal boundary
layer on the inner surface of the outer cylinder and on the outer
surface of the inner cylinder are:
It is obvious that δo > δi since Do > Di. Equation will be valid only if the
boundary layer thickness is less than the gap between the two
cylinders, i.e. only if δo < Do – Di. Under lower Rayleigh numbers, on
the other hand, we have
Do Ra −D1/o 4 > Do − Di (6.240)
and the heat transfer mechanism between two cylinders will approach
pure conduction.
