AbstractThe complexities of natural convection heat transfer are investigated through experimentation, focusing on the influence of geometric configurations such as spheres, cylinders, and cubes in external flows. The study aims to understand how different geometries affect heat transfer coefficients, providing insights for architectural and engineering applications. Experimental results revealed significant variations in heat transfer efficiency among geometric models, with cubic configurations exhibiting the lowest heat transfer rates compared with spherical and cylindrical counterparts. This underscores the critical impact of geometric configuration on thermal performance and heat dissipation characteristics. The findings highlight the necessity of considering geometric factors in design processes to optimize thermal management strategies. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of convective heat transfer mechanisms, emphasizing the importance of precise geometric modeling in enhancing energy efficiency and sustainability in built environments
