Abstract
Steady heat transfer from a two dimensional discrete protruding copper block mounted on a vertical wall has been experimentally studied here . The buoyant flow around the block has been visualized using an inter ferometer. The average Nusselt number for the heater is found to be co nsiderably larger than values reported in the literature. Local Nussel t numbers derived from the interferograms, however justify the magnitu de of the average Nusselt number.
