This work is about studying the natural convection of two-dimensional steady state non-Newtonian power law fluid numerically. The inner cylinder was put eccentrically into the outer one. The cylinders are held at constant temperatures with the inner one heated isothermally at temperature Th and the outer one cooled isothermally at temperature Tc (Th>Tc). The simulations have been taken for the parameters 10 3 ≤Ra≤10 5 , 10≤Pr≤10 3 , 0.6≤n≤1.4, 0≤ɛ≤0.9 and an inclination angle ϕ from 0° up to 90°. The average Nusselt numbers for the previous parameters are obtained and discussed numerically. The results revealed that the average Nusselt number has the highest values when n=0.6, Ra=10 5 at ϕ=0 which is a signal for the large transfer herein and has the lowest values for n=1.4, Ra=10 3 at ϕ=90° which is a signal that the transfer is by conduction more than convection. Furthermore, the increasing of eccentricity causes an increase in the Nusselt number for all the cases. Finally, the best case where we can get the best heat transfer is at ϕ = 0, ɛ=0.9 among them all. The results have compared with some precedent works and showed good agreement.
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.
