A Simple Classroom Demonstration of Natural Convection
Wheeler, Dean R.
Chemical Engineering Education, v39 n2 Spr 2005
This article explains a simple way to demonstrate natural convection, such as from a lit candle, in the classroom using an overhead projector. The demonstration is based on the principle of schlieren imaging, commonly used to visualize variations in density for gas flows.
