Effect of a Centered Conducting Body on Natural Convection Heat Transfer in an Enclosure

Multiscale Modeling of Multiphase Fluid Flow

“…Some studies have also been done on the natural convection in an enclosure with inserted solid bodies [239][240][241][242][243][244][245]. For example, the effect of a centered, square, heat-conducting body on natural convection in a vertical square enclosure was examined by House et al [239].…”

“…For example, the effect of a centered, square, heat-conducting body on natural convection in a vertical square enclosure was examined by House et al [239]. Depending on the ratio of thermal conductivity between the body and the surrounding fluid, the heat transfer across the enclosure may be enhanced (or reduced) by the body with a thermal conductivity ratio less (or greater) than unity, in comparison to that in the absence of a body.…”

Analysis of Combined Convection in an Open Cavity under Constant Heat Flux Boundary Conditions and Magnetic Field Using Finite Element Method

“…They can be control parameters for heat and fluid flow. There is a big challenge on cooling of electronic equipments to enhance efficiency of these devices as indicated by Nasrin [1], Hsu and How [2], Kieno et al [3], House et al [4], Dong and Li [5]. A numerical investigation of mixed convection in a ventilated square cavity with a heat conducting horizontal solid circular cylinder has been performed by Rahman et al [6].…”

Finite Element Investigation of Stationary Natural Convection of Light and HeavyWater in a Vessel Containing Heated Rods

“…Many authors have studied natural convection in enclosures with partitions, fins, and blocks which influence the convection flow phenomenon. The effect of a centered heated square body on natural convection in a vertical enclosure was studied in [1]. The authors showed that heat transfer across the cavity is enhanced or reduced by a body with a thermal conductivity ratio less or greater than unity.…”
