Conjugate natural convection in a square enclosure with inclined thin fin of arbitrary length

Effect of Inclination on Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow in a Finned Enclosure Filled with a Dielectric Liquid

“…Frederick and Valencia [9] showed that this reduction is more pronounced when long fins are used. Ben-Nakhi and Chamkha [10] studied numerically two-dimensional, laminar, conjugate natural convection in a square enclosure with an inclined thin fin of arbitrary length. The authors showed that the thin fin inclination angle and length, and solid-to-fluid thermal conductivity ratio have significant effects on the local and average Nusselt numbers at the heated surfaces of the enclosure=fin system.…”

“…In addition, results for the local and average Nusselt numbers are presented and discussed for various parametric conditions. [14] …”

Numerical investigation on thermal effects by adding thin compartmental plates into cooling enclosures with heat-leaking walls

“…The fin mainly serves as an extension of the hot wall; however, the effect on the heat transfer rate was mostly disadvantageous because of its greater influence on the flow field. Subsequently, Ben-Nakhi and Chamkha (2007) further considered an inclined thin fin with perfect conductivity, and presented discussions on parametric conditions. Altaç and Kurtul (2007) also investigated the effect of geometrical parameters on similar problems, but with an isolated hot plate, and proposed a correlation for the Nusselt number.…”
