I'm trying to obtain a proper understanding of buoyancy-driven flow. My main question is whether the shape of the temperature profile throughout the length of the pipe has any influence on the pressure difference created?
Consider a vertical pipe of length L (also equal to height difference h)...
I'm trying to solve the heat transfer in a pipe annulus that transports combustion gas. My question is how to determine the view factors.
A few text books uses the electrical network analogy to solve radiation between 2 surfaces separated by an absorbing and transmitting medium (combuston gas...
