    5. Set the transformer at a power level of about 5% and allow the system to stabilize. You will want to have measurements for at least five power settings. Since natural convection is a relatively poor heat transfer process you will want to monitor the maximum surface temperature to prevent burnout of the system.

  11. PDF Natural Convection Heat Transfer From an Isothermal Plate Abstract

    Introduction Natural convection is the flow caused by nonuniform density in a fluid. It is a fundamental process with applications from engineering to geophysics. When a stationary, immersed object changes temperature, nearby fluid can change density as it warms or cools. Under the influence of gravity, density changes cause fluid to flow.
