TL;DR: In this article, the Nusselt number and the Reynolds number depend on the Rayleigh number Ra and the Prandtl number Pr, and the thicknesses of the thermal and the kinetic boundary layers scale with Ra and Pr.
Abstract: The progress in our understanding of several aspects of turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection is reviewed. The focus is on the question of how the Nusselt number and the Reynolds number depend on the Rayleigh number Ra and the Prandtl number Pr, and on how the thicknesses of the thermal and the kinetic boundary layers scale with Ra and Pr. Non-Oberbeck-Boussinesq effects and the dynamics of the large scale convection roll are addressed as well. The review ends with a list of challenges for future research on the turbulent Rayleigh-Benard system.

TL;DR: In this article, a new general correlation for forced convection boiling has been developed with the aid of a large data bank consisting of over 4300 data points for water, refrigerants and ethylene glycol, covering seven fluids and 28 authors.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived a correlation for the Nusselt number of the form suggested by this evidence using a selection of the data and showed that this exponent should be a function of nozzle-to-plate spacing and of the radial displacement from the stagnation point.
