Abstract
Liquid crystals are used to investigate the effect of high relative curvatu re on surface heat transfer for a round air jet impinging perpendicularly o n a semicylindrical convex surface. The relative curvature, (d/D), is varie d by changing the jet tube diameter for the same surface diameter. Relative curvature varies from 0.18-0.38. The effects of relative curvature, Reynol ds number and jet exit-to-surface spacing are described. (C) 2001 Editions scientifiques et medicales Elsevier SAS.
