ABSTRACT

An experimental investigation of heat transfer in an inclined flat channel (φ = 60°) with one-sided heating (the upper wall is heated) and under the conditions of opposing turbulent mixed convection, where Re = 4·10³−4·10⁴ and Gr_q = 1.7·10⁸−1.4·10¹⁰, was performed. The data was analyzed using several buoyancy parameters and was compared with the results obtained in the vertical channel.
