Laminar Free Convection from a Rotating Radial Plate
Keyword(s):
The paper presents a theoretical analysis of conduction through, and free convection from, a radial plate rotating in a synchronous environment of air. The plate resembles a tapered, radially protruding fin heated at the root. Ordering of the governing equations reveals three controlling parameters, under the condition of steady high-speed rotation. Numerical solutions to the combined conduction–convection problem reveal the effect of the parameters on the velocity and temperature profiles, the overall heat-transfer relation, and the fin effectiveness.
