through the walls and natural convection at outer surface. These resistances will be<br />

analysed below.<br />

3.4.6.1 Mixed convectional thermal resistance R C 23i<br />

At the inner surfaces of chamber wall 2 and 3, the flow is considered to be always<br />

turbulent. Nusselt number for forced convection at the inner surface of wall 2 and wall 3<br />

can be considered as airflow over these surfaces and be calculated the same as the water<br />

surface flow by Eq.(3.36).<br />

The Nusselt number for natural convection over the vertical wall 2 can be calculated by<br />

using Eq. (3.23). The mixed convection Nusselt number at this surface can be:<br />

The inner surface of wall 3, which is the chamber top, is simplified as a horizontal<br />

round plate with cooler surface facing down (see Appendix XIX for Nusselt number<br />

coefficient values). Nusselt number for mixed convection on wall 3 inner surface can be<br />

calculated same as Eq. (3.60). So the total mixed convectional thermal resistance over<br />

the two inner surfaces can be calculated as:<br />

The conductive resistance of wall 2 can be calculated the same as wall 1. Wall 3 is<br />

simplified as a flat round plate. The over all conductive thermal resistance of chamber<br />

wall 2 and 3 surrounding the air part of the chamber can be:<br />
