Résumé

The paper presents results of theoretical and experimental investigations of the convective heat transfer from isothermal cuboid. The analytical solution was performed taking into account complete boundary layer length and the manner of its propagation around isothermal cuboid. It arises at horizontal bottom surface and grows on vertical lateral surface of the block. After changing its direction, the boundary layer occurs above horizontal surface faced up and next it is transformed into buoyant convective plume. To verify obtained theoretical solution the experimental study has been performed. The experiment was carried out for three possible positions of tested the same cuboid.
