Abstract

The average Nusselt number of a heated sphere rotating in quiescent air was measured experimentally over the range 0 < Re < 33 320 from free to forced convection regimes. As well, real time holographic interferometry was applied to the observation of flows structure and evolution, and later employed to analyze the deviations revealed by a comparison of the measured data Nu with previous experimental and theoretical results. Thus, real time holographic visualization provides a physical understanding of the effect of the evoluting flow structure on Nu as rotational speed increases. In addition, a new asymptotic formula for correlating the experimentally measured Nu was established.
