in this paper, free convection in an inclined stepped chamber has been studied. one wall of this enclosure is kept cold and the opposite wall equipped with constant heat source. the remaining walls are maintained adiabatic. there is one adiabatic step on the bottom wall. the aim of the present study is to forecast the effect of raleigh number, slope of enclosure, step dimension, and heat source...

a numerical investigation of laminar mixed convection heat transfer in a shallow two-sided lid driven rectangular enclosure of aspect ratio 5, (ar=5) is executed. the natural convection effect is sustained by subjecting the bottom wall to a higher temperature than its top counterpart. in addition, the two horizontal walls of the enclosure are moving in different directions and the two vertical ...

in this study, the natural convection heat transfer of variable properties al2o3-eg-water nanofluid in a differentially heated rectangular cavity has been investigated numerically. the governing equations, for a newtonian fluid, have been solved numerically with a finite volume approach. the influences of the pertinent parameters such as ra in the range of 103-107 and volume fraction of nanopar...

Thermomagnetic convection in a differentially heated square cavity with an infinitely long third dimension is numerically simulated using the single relaxation time lattice Boltzmann method LBM . This problem is of considerable interest when dealing with cooling of microelectronic devices, in situations where natural convection does not meet the cooling requirements, and forced convection is no...

this work presents a numerical analysis of entropy generation in γ-shaped enclosure that was submitted to the natural convection process using a simple thermal lattice boltzmann method (tlbm) with the boussinesq approximation.  a 2d thermal lattice boltzmann method with 9 velocities, d2q9, is used to solve the thermal flow problem. the simulations are performed at a constant prandtl number (pr ...

Research on using phase change material (PCM) suspension to improve the heat transfer and energy storage capabilities of thermal systems is booming; however, there are limited studies application PCM in transient natural convection. In this paper, implicit finite difference method was used numerically investigate steady-state convection a square enclosure containing suspension. The following pa...

This paper examines the natural convection in a square enclosure that is filled with a nanofluid. This nanofluid with Ethylene Glycol based containing Copper nanoparticle is influenced by a uniform horizontal magnetic field and uniform heat generation or heat absorption. The enclosure is bounded by two isothermal vertical walls at different temperatures and by two horizontal adiabatic walls. Th...
