An analytical and experimental investigation of radial heat transfer in long cylinders

D. Michalopoulos

Energy, 1987, vol. 12, issue 7, 573-578

Abstract: The radial heat transfer distribution in a long cylinder containing a pure fluid was studied experimentally and analytically under transient and steady-state conditions in order to determine the cooling rate for commercially available canned fluids such as beverages. The cooling rate followed an exponential curve, with a time constant of 1.83 hr for both aluminum and steel containers. The experimental and analytical results were found to be in close agreement.
