Figure 3.12 connecting opening in the chamber<br />

The air flow velocity in the chamber is simplified as a characteristic velocity based on<br />

the volumetric air flow rate through the lower half of the opening (see Figure 3.12).<br />

When the water is filled to 600 ml, the area of this opening is about 16 cm 2 .<br />

Where A Co is the connecting opening cross sectional area. When reverse flow occurs,<br />

the inlet is from the HADT.<br />

The volumetric chamber air flow rate is considered the same as the chamber inlet flow<br />

rate. Thus for forced convection at water-air interface, the Nusselt number may be<br />

separately calculated as direct impact and parallel flow.<br />

For air flowing directly toward a surface, Nusselt number may be calculated by [50]:<br />

While for airflow over a surface [50]:<br />
