Mixed convection in a shallow enclosure with a series of heat generating components

Mixed Convection in a Vented Square Cavity with a Heat Conducting Horizontal Solid Circular Cylinder

“…They investigated the effects of the various geometrical parameters and the thickness of the insulation layer on the fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics. Bhoite et al (2005) studied numerically the problem of mixed convection flow and heat transfer in a shallow enclosure with a series of block-like heat generating components for a range of Reynolds numbers and Grashof numbers and block-to-fluid thermal conductivity ratios. They showed that higher Reynolds numbers created a recirculation region of increasing strength at the core region and the effect of buoyancy became insignificant beyond a Reynolds number of typically 600 and hence the thermal conductivity ratio had a negligible effect on the velocity fields.…”

Effects of Reynolds and Prandtl Number on Mixed Convection in an Octagonal Channel with a Heat-Generating Hollow Cylinder

“…They focused particularly on the effects of the height of baffle, distance between the heated blocks, baffle and number of baffles on the flow structure and heat transfer characteristics for the system at various Re and Gr/Re 2 . Bhoite et al [10] studied numerically the problem of mixed convection flow and heat transfer in a shallow enclosure with a series of block-like heat generating component for a range of Reynolds and Grashof numbers and block-to-fluid thermal conductivity ratios. They showed that higher Reynolds number tend to create a recirculation region of increasing strength at the core region and the effect of buoyancy becomes insignificant beyond a Reynolds number of typically 600, and the thermal conductivity ratio had a negligible effect on the velocity fields.…”

Joule Heating Effect on MHD Combined Convection in a Wavy Chamber Having Conducting Square Cylinder

“…They found that at the higher values of Reynolds number, an inviscid core region developed, but secondary eddies were present in the bottom corners of the square at all Reynolds numbers. Bhoite et al [7] studied numerically the problem of mixed convection flow and heat transfer in a shallow enclosure with a series of block-like heat generating component for a range of Reynolds and Grashof numbers and block-to-fluid thermal conductivity ratios. They showed that higher Reynolds number created a recirculation region of increasing strength at the core region and the effect of buoyancy became insignificant beyond a Reynolds number of typically 600, and the thermal conductivity ratio had a negligible effect on the velocity fields.…”
