An experimental investigation of mixed convection heat transfer in a rectangular enclosure

Mixed convection heat transfer was studied in a well instrumented, office size, rectangular enclosure. Surface and air temperatures were measured, convective heat fluxes were calculated, significant parameters were identified, and Nusselt number correlations were developed for various flow field and surface temperature configurations. Buoyant, mechanically driven wall and free jets were investigated over a range of room inlet conditions. The experiments were performed in both isothermal and non-isothermal room configurations.
