As a result of the numerical analysis, velocity vectors and temperature contours were obtained. According to these results, it was concluded that natural circulation exists and that it is more effective near the tank inlet of the inclined pipe and that this effectiveness decreases as one moves towards the closed bottom of the pipe. In addition, when the tank average temperature obtained as a result of the 6-hour experiment is compared with the average tank temperature obtained as a result of the numerical analysis, it is concluded that the thermal regime is provided in the experiments with high power of 600 and 800 W applied to the inclined pipe and that more time is required to provide the thermal regime in the experiments with lower power of 200 and 400 W.00 W.}, number={3}, publisher={Necmettin Erbakan University}, organization={Mersin University}
