Results are presented for experiments performed on a vibrating array of five identical heated cylinders. The cylinders are arranged with their axes horizontal and in the same vertical plane. They are held by a U‐shaped yoke. The spacing between cylinders was set at two diameters for most of the work. The array yoke is clamped to a resonant beam which is driven by a magnetic vibrator. The range of vibration intensities from zero to 0.61 has been studied. The vibrating array showed an increase in heat transfer rate of up to 54% for the conditions covered in this report. The trend of the data indicates greater increases at higher vibration intensities.
