Influence of aspect ratio in convection due to nonuniform heating
The influence of fluid depth in a convection problem in which heating is nonuniform is studied. We consider a vessel that has at the bottom a temperature distribution which has Gaussian shape in the transversal direction and whose surface is open to the atmosphere. Coupled buoyancy and thermocapillary effects are taken into account. The results confirm a stationary bifurcation and a prelude of ...
متن کاملNatural 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...
متن کاملNumerical modelling of double-diffusive natural convection within an arc shaped enclosure filled with a porous medium
Numerical study of double-diffusive natural convective heat transfer in a curved cavity filledwith a porous medium has been carried out in the current study. Polar system has beenselected as coordinate system. As a result, all equations have been discredited in r and θdirections. Brinkmann extended Darcy model has been utilized to express fluid flow inporous matrix in the enclosure. Smaller and...
متن کاملMHD Natural Convection and Entropy Generation of Variable Properties Nanofluid in a Triangular Enclosure
Natural convection heat transfer has many applications in different fields of industry; such as cooling industries, electronic transformer devices and ventilation equipment; due to simple process, economic advantage, low noise and renewed retrieval. Recently, heat transfer of nanofluids have been considered because of higher thermal conductivity coefficient compared with those of ordinary fluid...
متن کاملNatural convection from horizontal noncircular annulus partially filled with porous sleeve
In this paper natural convection heat transfer within a two-dimensional, horizontal, concentric cam shape cylinders that is partially filled with a fluid saturated porous medium has been investigated. both cylinder are kept at constant and uniform temperatures with the outer cylinder being subjected relatively lower than the inner one. In addition the forchheimer and brinkman effect are taken i...
