Results of an investigation into the sensitivity of natural convection heat transfer correlations with respect to relative humidity are presented. Given the relatively small values of natural convection heat transfer coefficients, small changes in the thermophysical properties can have a significant impact on the values predicted by theoretical/empirical correlations. In this study, the thermophysical properties are assumed to be those of a dry air and water vapor mixture. The mole fractions are determined as a function of relative humidity. Several widely used natural convection heat transfer correlations have been examined to determine the impact of varying the relative humidity on the predicted Nusselt number. The results show a general trend of an increasing Nusselt number with relative humidity. The results presented in this paper provide an engineering tool for obtaining accurate values of natural convection heat transfer coefficients for a moist air environment using only the thermophysical properties of dry air. |
