“…A rich body of literature is available when widening the problem to mixed and forced convection, as well as to different geometries, such as enclosures, open cavities, channels, fins, or horizontal configurations. Problems with discrete heating and natural convection have been the subject of several reviews [27,28].…”

Abstract:Heat sources, such as power electronics for offshore power, could be cooled passively-mainly by conduction and natural convection. The obvious advantage of this strategy is its high reliability. However, it must be implemented in an efficient manner (i.e., the area needs to be kept low to limit the construction costs). In this study, the placement of multiple heat sources mounted on a vertical plate was studied experimentally for optimization purposes. We chose a regular distribution, as this is likely to be the preferred choice in the construction process. We found that optimal spacing can be determined for a targeted source density by tuning the vertical and horizontal spacing between the heat sources. The optimal aspect ratio was estimated to be around two.

“…Considerable attention has been given to classical Rayleigh-Bénard convection from vertical/horizontal enclosures specified either with constant temperature or heat flux (Öztop et al., [16]). However, a very limited number of studies [17] considered convective heat transfer from a local source, which is specified with a constant volumic heat generation rate and is located away from the liquid pool walls.…”

“…Öztop et al [29] investigated the heat transfer and the fluid flow due to buoyancy forces in a partially heated enclosure using different nanofluids. Calculations were performed for different Rayleigh numbers, heights of heater, locations of heater, aspect ratios, and volume fractions of nanoparticles.…”
