Natural Convection Heat Transfer in Inclined Rectangular Enclosure. Effect of Body in Enclosure.

Natural Convection Heat Transfer within Octagonal Enclosure

The problem of steady, laminar and incompressible natural convection flow in an octagonalenclosure was studied. In this investigation, two horizontal walls were maintained at a constant hightemperature, two vertical walls were kept at a constant low temperature and all inclined walls wereconsidered adiabatic. The enclosure was assumed to be filled with a Bousinessq fluid. The studyincludes comp...

1be Effect of Partial Baffles on Natural Convection in an Inclined Rectangular Enclosure

Complete partitioning wilb boneyoomb-Iike struetuIes bas previously been proposed to reduce heat transfer by natural convection. at the expense of direct oonduction through the Struet\I.fe. in Ihe thin rectangular enclosures used for solar colleclors. 11tis paper presents the results of a sludy of the use of partial ballles for this purpose. 1be heat transfer rate was measured in glycerol using...

Numerical simulation of mixed convection heat transfer of nanofluid in an inclined enclosure by applying LBM

Mixed convection of Cu-Water nanofluid is studied numerically in a shallow inclined enclosure by applying lattice Boltzmann method. The D2Q9 lattice and internal energy distribution function based on the BGK collision operator are used in order to develop the thermal flow field. The enclosure's hot lid has the constant velocity of U0 while its cold lower wall has no motion. Moreover, sidewalls ...

Mixed Convection Heat Transfer of Water-Alumina Nanofluid in an Inclined and Baffled C-Shaped Enclosure

In this article, mixed convection heat transfer of alumina-water nanofluid in an inclined and baffled C-shape enclosure is studied. It is assumed that the flow is laminar and steady. There is no energy production, energy storage and viscous heat dissipation. Furthermore, the nanofluid is considered as a continuous, Newtonian and incompressible fluid. Governing equations are discretized by finit...
