Free convection in a triangular enclosure with fluid-saturated porous medium and internal heat generation

“…Basak et al [9] investigated natural convection inside a triangular enclosure with linear heating/cooling on the inclined surfaces. Natural convection in an attic space filled with porous media has also been conducted by a number of researchers [12,13,14,15]. In this study, we consider a triangular enclosure filled with porous media and heat generating fluid with non-uniform temperature conditions on one of the sloping walls.…”

Heat Transfer Reduction due to a Ceiling-Mounted Barrier in an Enclosure with Natural Convection

“…However, a partition (or partitions) can be used as a control parameter to reduce or enhance heat transfer and flow strength inside an enclosure [5][6][7]. The enclosures can be divided by a partition hanging from the top wall or extending from the bottom floor [8][9][10][11] or both [12][13][14] or from side walls [15][16][17][18][19][20]. The thermal state of the partition plays an important role on the heat and fluid flow in a cavity.…”

“…Thermally, a partition behaves between two limiting cases. The partition may be made of highly conductive materials, and thus the partition temperature will be at the temperature of the mounted wall [9][10][12][13][14][15][16][17][18], or the thermal conductivity of partition may be very low, and thus no temperature gradient exists between the partition surfaces and adjacent fluid [7,8]. The present study is focused on the effects of the latter partition, meaning that the thermal conductivity of partition is very low compared to the fluid thermal conductivity.…”

“…Varol et al [8,9] used partitions to control heat transfer and fluid flow inside a right-angle triangular enclosure. They found that the location of partitions changes the number of circulation cells and temperature distribution.…”
