TLDR
In this paper, a conduction boundary-layer model is used for heat transfer by conduction, laminar flow and turbulent flow. Butler et al. obtained a correlation for convection from a free horizontal cylinder as the outer cylinder diameter becomes infinite and for quasi-steady heat transfer to fluid within a horizontal cylinder.

Natural Convection Heat Transfer From Horizontal Cylinders

TL;DR: A vast amount of literature exists for natural convection from horizontal cylinders as mentioned in this paper, which can be divided into two main time periods: early investigators focused on analytical and experimental techniques, and modern investigations have focused on using computational fluid dynamics.

Unsteady natural convection heat transfer of nanofluid in an annulus with a sinusoidally heated source

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the nonsmooth natural convection of nanofluid between the outer and inner surfaces of a concentric annulus, where the inner surface is heated sinusoidally with time about a fixed mean temperature but the outer boundary is kept at a constant temperature.

Optimal eccentric annuli (Containing atmospheric-pressure air) for thermally insulating, horizontal, relatively cold pipes

TL;DR: In this paper, the geometrical configurations of those air-filled, horizontal eccentric annuli, that provide maximum thermal insulation corresponding to various imposed temperature conditions have been identified, and a simple correlation is presented which will permit the calculation of the associated steady-state rates of convective/conductive heat leak through the air annulus to the horizontal pipe conveying a chilled fluid.

A general expression for the correlation of rates of transfer and other phenomena

TL;DR: The expression Y = (1 + Zn)1/n where Y and Z are expressed in terms of the solutions for asymptotically large and small values of the independent variable is shown to be remarkably successful in correlating rates of transfer for processes which vary uniformly between these limiting cases as discussed by the authors.

An experimental and theoretical study of natural convection in the annulus between horizontal concentric cylinders

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental and theoretical-numerical investigation has been carried out to extend existing knowledge of velocity and temperature distributions and local heat-transfer coefficients for naturel convection within a horizontal annulus.

A General Method of Obtaining Approximate Solutions to Laminar and Turbulent Free Convection Problems

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on determining equations for the local and mean rate of laminar heat transfer, which are approximately valid for different geometries by use of these equations, several new correlations are obtained for various heat transfer problems, and the results compared with experiments.

Laminar free convection in boundary layers near horizontal cylinders and vertical axisymmetric bodies

TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of describing free convection near either horizontal cylinders or vertical axisymmetric bodies with fairly arbitrary body contours is studied and the solutions of two coupled, coupled, partial differential equations, for the temperature and stream functions, are represented by series which are universal with respect to body shapes within a specified class of body shapes.
