摘要：

Measurements of heat transport, as expressed by the Nusselt number Nu, are reported for turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection of water containing up to 120 ppm by weight of poly-[ethylene oxide] with a molecular weight of 4 x 10(6) g/mole. Over the Rayleigh number range 5 x 10(9) less than or similar to Ra less than or similar to 7 x 10(10) Nu is smaller than it is for pure water by up to 10%.
