The objective of present investigation is twofold, one to determine the effect of operational parameter on maximum temperature (Hot spots temperature) in heat generating (uniform and non-uniform) vertical parallel plates and two is to find out the position of maximum temperature (hot spots location) when plates are placed apart at optimum spacing (Bopt). A conjugate two dimensional laminar forced convection analysis is carried out in which the equations regulating the heat and fluid flow are solved by using finite difference numerical technique and the obtained algebraic equations are solved by using Thomas algorithm. The parameters viz Reynolds Number (ReH), Conduction-Convection parameter (Ncc), Heat generation parameter (Qt), and Prandtl Number (Pr), Spacing between the plates (B) were considered for present study, while the aspect ratio (Ar) of the plate is kept constant. The major outcome of present study says that the location of hot spot is mainly affected by ReH and mode of heat generation (uniform and non-uniform). It is also found that the spacing between the plates (B), ReH, Pr and Ncc play a major role in reducing the hotspots temperature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
