Abstract

Experimental investigation of laminar heat transfer from an isolated disc is described, account being taken of simultaneous forced and natural convection. It is concluded that results are correlated well by

The influence of the radial velocity profile upon turbulent heat transfer is discussed. Measurements of the flow beyond the edge of a rotating disc are outlined, and it was found that beyond about 40 per cent of the disc radius from the disc edge the flow closely resembles that in Squire's radial jet, but with a whirl component of velocity. Details of the influence of nearby stationary planes upon the flow and heat transfer from a rotating disc are given; it is shown that the presence of such planes can considerably reduce the heat transfer.
