Heat transport in a liquid column in weightless conditions due to thermal Marangoni
Abstract
In a circular cylindrical liquid column in zero gravity the velocity distribution due to natural and Marangoni convection is determined for the liquid surface subjected to a quadratic temperature field. The heat transport is obtained with and without the convective terms, and quite a difference appears due to the neglect of convective terms. The local temperature distribution is presented.
