Abstrakt: Transient laminar free convection to water in a rectangular container was investigated using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The experimental y observed temperature profiles are compared with analytically predicted profiles based on a computer program developed byBarakat. Good agreement between analysis and experiment was obtained. In addition qualitative observations of the conditions in the container during sudden discharge of the liquid are reported.
