Heat transfer by natural convection, conduction and radiation in an inclined square enclosure bounded with a solid wall

“…Another test for the validation of this code has been performed for the case of the natural convection and conduction in a square enclosure filled by pure fluid for three different conductivity ratios (k r ). In this test case, the results have been compared with those of [26] as shown in Table 4.…”

“…Kaminski and Prakash (1986) and Misra and Sarkar (1997) performed a numerical study on conjugate convection in a square enclosure with thick conducting wall on one of its vertical sides. The influence of wall conduction on natural convection in an inclined square enclosure was examined by Acharya and Tsang (1987), Yedder and Bilgen (1997) and Nouanegue, Muftuoglu, and Bilgen (2009). Du and Bilgen (1992) found that the temperature distribution on the solid-fluid interface is greatly influenced by the coupling effect between solid wall conduction and fluid convection.…”

The aim of the present numerical study to analyze the conjugate natural convection heat transfer in a rotating enclosure with finite wall thickness. The enclosure executes a steady counterclockwise angular velocity about its longitudinal axis. The staggered grid arrangement together with the Marker and Cell (MAC) method was employed to solve the governing equations. The governing parameters considered are the wall thickness, 0.05 ≤ D ≤ 0.2, the conductivity ratio, 0.5 ≤ Kr ≤ 10 and the Taylor number, 8.9 × 10 4 ≤ Ta ≤ 1.1 × 10 6 , and the centrifugal force is assumed weaker than the Coriolis force. It is found that decreasing the conductivity ratio or/and rotational speed stabilize of the convective flow and heat transfer oscillation. The global quantity of the heat transfer rate increases by increasing the conductivity ratio and it decreases about 12% by increasing 20% wall thickness for the considered rotational speeds.

“…However, conjugated studies (i.e., conduction coupled with convection) have also been extensively reported [13][14][15][16]. Less often found is the study of fully coupled conduction, convection and radiation processes in enclosed spaces [17][18][19][20].…”
