The heat transferred through vertical plane layers by free convection was measured as a function of the temperature difference across layer, height and its thickness. Heat transfer coefficients are reported for fluids having Prandtl numbers from 3 to 30,000. An analysis problem means integral equations yielded results which differed no more than 12 percent data in range were applicable.
