ABSTRACT;
The effects of nonuniform temperature distribution and eccentricity on natural convection heat transfer in a horizontal annulus were assessed through use of a finite element computer program. Calculated results are compared with previously published experimental results. The numerical

results indicate that highly nonuniform temperature distributions and large eccentricities are necessary in order to appreciably affect the natural convection process.
