Numerical Study of Natural Convection in a Square Cavity Filled with a Porous Medium Saturated with Nanofluid
Steady state natural convection of Al2O3-water nanofluid inside a square cavity filled with a porous medium is investigated numerically. The temperatures of the two side walls of the cavity are maintained at TH and TC, where TC has been considered as the reference condition. The top and the bottom horizontal walls have been considered to be insulated i.e., non-conducting and impermeable to mass...
متن کاملMixed convection study in a ventilated square cavity using nanofluids
This work indicates a numerical study on the laminar heat transfer mixed convection in a square cavity with two openings (an inlet and an outlet) on vertical walls through which nanofluid flows. Two flow directions are examined: i) ascending flow which enters the bottom opening and exits the upper opening; ii) descending flow which enters the upper opening and exits the bottom opening. The asce...
متن کاملNumerical Simulations of Natural Convection Flow in a Rectangular Cavity under Transient Boundary Conditions
This work is aimed at presenting numerical predictions regarding unsteady natural convection in a rectangular cavity. The flow in the buoyancy-driven cavity of 7 : 1 aspect ratio is numerically analyzed for water (Pr = 3.77) which is exposed to hot and cold vertical plates with periodic temperatures. The results are obtained for three different variable Rayleigh numbers sets whose maximum value...

متن کاملCFD analysis of natural convection heat transfer in a square cavity with partitions utilizing Al2O3 nanofluid
In the present study, natural convective heat transfer in a partitioned square cavity utilizing nanofluids is studied. The vertical left and right walls are considered as the hot and cold walls, respectively and the partitions assumed to be adiabatic. The nanofluid used in this study is Al2O3 with the volume fraction of 20%. It is assumed that nanofluid is a single phase f...
