[nino11]

hii all..

i need some help from you all.
my question is how to make a surface of vertical plate always isothermal or isoflux (natural convection cases on vertical plate). i hope i get some information about it from you guys.

thanks.

Insulation

Increased thermal conductivity

however, you've said nothing about how bit this plate is, and some things are just physically impossible.

the end use would be good to know for better consideration.

otherwise, one of many options:

for isoflux: heater constant q_s'' pad attached to a plate with the back side insulated.

for isotemp: a series of heater pads with temp control for each. Again, backside insulation would help.

Have Fun!

a little more details about the environment to which the plate is exposed would be good so that reasonable answers by the participants can be provided.
