I. The Transfer of Energy from a Heated Cylinder to a Turbulently Flowing Air Stream. II. The Diffusion of Energy in the Wake of a Heated Cylinder Exposed to a Turbulently Flowing Air Stream

An experimental apparatus is described which was designed to accomplish: (1) The production of a stable, two-dimensional, turbulently flowing air stream, and (2) The measurement of temperature and velocity distributions associated with the thermal transfer of energy from heated bodies to the turbulent air stream. Particular emphasis is placed upon design details of the apparatus which are unique. Experimental data are presented for measurements of: (1) The transfer of energy from a heated cylinder to the turbulent air stream (2) The diffusion of energy in the wake of a heated cylinder. These data are analyzed and the results presented in numerical and graphical form. The data are compared, where possible, with published data of a similar nature.
