“…For instance, a comprehensive review of natural convection in enclosures is given by Ostrach [5]. Du et al [6] numerically investigated the mixed convection heat transfer in vertical channel with protruding discrete heaters installed on one side and open to ambient at top and bottom walls. They used SIMPLER scheme for solution of field equations for range of flow governing parameters, such as, Rayleigh number (0 ࣘ Ra ࣘ 10 7 ), Reynolds number (0 ࣘ Re ࣘ 200) and aspect ratio (1 ࣘ AR ࣘ 6).…”

“…Du et al (1998) reviewed some literature in regard to the study of flush mounted heaters in channels undergoing mixed convection. The problem geometry in (How & Hsu 1998) was that of a square enclosure having a constant-flux heat source in the left vertical wall with a top opening on the same side and exit on the opposite side.…”

In the present numerical work, flow structure and heat transfer characteristics are investigated in a baffled grooved channel, differentially heated from the sides. The baffle is placed vertically downward from the top wall of grooved channel geometry, with the motive of diverting outside forced flow towards the inside of the square cavity. In-house CFD code based on finite volume method has been used to solve the 2D equations of continuity, momentum and energy. The effect of change in baffle position and height is investigated in the range of Richardson numbers 0.1 to 10. For the present study, external flow from both left and right of the grooved channel are considered. A remarkable enhancement of heat transfer is observed in presence of baffle. The study has also pointed out that for optimal performance, the position and height of the baffle need to be adjusted depending on the direction of external flow.

“…Du et al [6] carried out a numerical study of two dimensional steady mixed convection heat transfer in a vertical channel that had open bottom and top along with protruding discrete heaters installed on one side. Studies were carried out for 0 Ra 10 7 , 0 Re 200 and 1 A 6, where A is the aspect ratio.…”
