Effects of wall conduction, internal heat sources and an internal baffle on natural convection heat transfer in a rectangular enclosure

Conjugate heat transfer analysis of double pane windows

“…Some of studies investigating conjugate natural convection in enclosures are given in Refs. [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. Meyer et al [13] studied the effects of cell wall thickness and thermal conductivity on natural convective heat transfer within inclined enclosures.…”

“…Heindel et al [19,20] studied coupled conduction and natural convection transport within 2-and 3-D, discretely heated cavities. Sun and Emery [21] examined conjugate natural convection heat transfer in a 2-D, airfiled enclosure containing discrete internal heat sources and an internal baffle. Kimura et al [22] analytically and experimentally investigated conjugate natural convection heat transfer from a vertical plate for which three different materials including copper, stainless steal and ceramic were used.…”

Conjugate natural convection heat transfer in an inclined square cavity containing a conducting block

“…Sun and Amery [6] considered the effect of a heat source and an internal baffle on natural convection heat transfer in a rectangular enclosure. All the walls are of finite conductance.…”

Natural convection in tilted rectangular enclosures with a vertically situated hot plate inside

“…In literature, although plenty of studies on partitioned enclosures and discrete heat sources attached to adiabatic walls are encountered, natural convection from heated elements within enclosures has received very little attention until recently. Sun and Emery [2] numerically studied conjugate natural convection heat transfer in a two-dimensional, air-filled enclosure containing discrete internal heat sources and an internal conducting baffle. The influences on the heat transfer and the flow characteristics resulting from the internal heat sources as well as the conductive baffle were discussed.…”
