Mixed 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 study of a combined convection flow in a cavity filled with nanofluid considering effects of diameter of nanoparticles and cavity inclination angles
The present paper focuses on problem of mixed convection fluid flow and heat transfer of Al2O3-water nanofluid with temperature and nanoparticles concentration dependent thermal conductivity and effective viscosity inside Lid-driven cavity having a hot rectangular obstacle. The governing equations are discretized using the finite volume method while the SIMPLER algorithm is employed to couple v...
متن کاملNumerical 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 کاملReentrant Hexagons in non-Boussinesq Convection
While non-Boussinesq hexagonal convection patterns are well known to be stable close to threshold (i.e. for Rayleigh numbers R ≈ Rc), it has often been assumed that they are always unstable to rolls already for slightly higher Rayleigh numbers. Using the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations for parameters corresponding to water as a working fluid, we perform full numerical stability analyses ...
متن کاملMixed Convection Flow in a Rectangular Ventilated Cavity with a Heat Conducting Solid Circular Cylinder at the Center
A numerical investigation has been carried out for mixed convection flow in a rectangularventilated cavity with a heat conducting solid circular cylinder at the center. Forced convection flowconditions were imposed by providing an inlet at the bottom of the left wall and an outlet vent at the topto the other sidewall. In this paper, the effect of cavity aspect ratio as well as the mixed convect...
