The Nusselt number over the rotating disk was measured and compared with the numerical results data obtained from numerical study. The goal of the present research is to develop a semi empirical correlation in the familiar classical form for a circular rotational disk for any arbitrary angle of inclination, velocity of rotation and various size over a wide range of the Reynolds numbers. Our results show that the local Nusselt number has not a strong relation with angle of inclination.6 pagesPDFenUniversity of PretoriaHeat transfer from a rotating diskPresentation
