본 연구는 열 발생 장치 형상이 다양화 되고 이들 장비들이 설치위치에 따라 수직 이나 수평 또는 경사진 경우를 고려하여 수직으로 부터 경사각도를 증가 시키면 서 부력의 영향에 따른 혼합대류 유동의 온도분포, 속도분포와 국소 Nusselt수, 국소 마찰계수, 열유속및 열전달계수 등의 값을 수치해석적으로 구하여, 쉴리렌 간섭계를 사용하여 실험적으로 구한 열유속, 열전달계수 값과 비교하여 비가열부의 영향을 검토하고자 한다.
The buoyancy effects on mixed convection heat transfer over a flat plate surface with unheated starting length is reported. The governing equations are solved by a finite difference method using Patankar scheme and the solution was numerically obtained for various mixed convection parametr $Gr_{x}/Re_{x}^3$, and Prandtl number of 0.7 Local heat flux was measured by using Schilieren Interferometer. The local heat transfer results show that the presence of the unheated starting length can significantly accentuate the effects of buoyancy. The degree of accentuation of the buoyancy effects is strongly influenced by the magnitude of $Gr_{x}/Re_{x}^3$. When the parameter is larger than the order of $10^{-3}$, the contribution of natural convection to the heat transfer coefficients increased significantly due to the unheated starting length. In contrast, when $Gr_{x}/Re_{x}^3$ is smaller then about $10^{-5}$ , the buoyancy contribution is essentially unaffected by the unheated starting length. The shape of the velocity profile is also found to be highly responsive to the interaction between the buoyancy and the starting length.
