An experimental investigation of natural convection heat transfer in heated vertical pipes dissipating heat from the internal surface is presented. The pipes are open-ended and circular in cross section. The test section is electrically heated imposing the circumferentially and axially constant wall heat flux. The purpose of this work is to study experimentally the natural convection pipe flows at different heating levels. The test section is a vertical, open-ended cylindrical pipe dissipating heat from the internal surface. The test section is electrically heated imposing the circumferentially and axially constant wall heat flux. Heat transfer experiment is carried out for four different channels of 45mm internal diameter and 3.8mm thickness with length 450 mm. Ratios of length to diameter of the channel is taken as L/D = 10. Wall heat fluxes are maintained at q// = 250 to 3341 W/m2. A systematic experimental database for the local steady state natural convection heat transfer behaviour is obtained. A correlation is developed for average Nusselt number and modified Rayleigh number and another correlation is also developed for modified Rayleigh number and modified Reynolds number.
