✦ Synopsis

Free convection heat transfer from vertical long cylinders and wires were investigated experimentally. The experiments were designed fo check the analytical results and the radius of curvature criteria formulated by the same authors. The results for water, the fluid medium used in the present set of experiments, are in excellent agreement with the theory. The results of Hama, Recess0 and Christiaens, Kyte, Madden and Piret, in air are also shown to be in close agreement with proposed correlations.
