A numerical study of the natural convection of the laminar heat transfers in the stationary state was developed in a horizontal ring and compared between a heated trapezoidal internal cylinder and a cold elliptical outer cylinder. This annular space is traversed by a Newtonian and incompressible fluid. The Prandtl number is set to 0.7 (air case) for different Rayleigh numbers. The system of equ...

Laminar natural-convective heat transfer from a horizontal cylinder is studied by solving the Navier-Stokes and energy equations using higher order compact scheme in cylindrical polar coordinates. Results are obtained for Rayleigh numbers of 1, 10, 100 and 1000 for a Prandtl number of 0.7. The local Nusselt number and mean Nusselt number are calculated and compared with available experimental a...

This work is about studying the natural convection of two-dimensional steady state non-Newtonian power law fluid numerically. The inner cylinder was put eccentrically into outer one. cylinders are held at constant temperatures with one heated isothermally temperature Th and cooled Tc (Th>Tc). simulations have been taken for parameters 103?Ra?105, 10?Pr?103, 0.6?n?1.4, 0???0.9 an inclination ...

In the present study, conjugate heat transfer predictions are performed for forced convection and natural convection in a twodimensional, vertical channel attached with surface mounted obstacles and having a solid wall of considerable thickness. The Streamline Upwind Petrov-Galerkin (SUPG) Finite Element (FE) method with Cartesian frame work is used for solving the equations governing Newtonian...

Large Eddy Simulation (LES) is used to study natural circulation flow in a sealed rod bundle with Rayleigh number (based on height) of approximately 1011 and fluid Prandtl 0.74. Natural convection boundary layer development observed both the heating rods cooling containment surfaces. The layers key heat transfer characteristics system. As descends surface, gradually develops transitions from la...

Abs t rac t . An analysis is made of the laminar natural convection of incompressible fluids over a slender, hollow circular cylinder with the inner surface at a constant temperature of Tb. The temperature of the outer surface must be solved from the coupled conduction of the cylinder and the natural convection of the fluid over the cylinder. The objective of this paper is to investigate the ef...
