Natural convection in cubical enclosure with hot surface geometry and partial partitions has been analyzed. The geometry is a cube with wavy hot surface (three undulations) and three partitions. The investigation has been performed for different partitions lengths and Rayleigh number while the Prandtl number kept constant. This problem is solved by using the partial differential equations which are the equation of mass, momentum, and energy. The results obtained show that the hot wall geometry with partitions affects the flow and the heat transfer rate in the cavity. It has been found also that the mean Nusselt number decreases compared with the heat transfer in the undulated cubical cavity without partitions.
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.
