In this work, the natural convection effect on the flow and the heat transfer in a vertical cavity with two discrete heat sources located on the left adiabatic wall is numerically studied. Laminar, two-dimensional and steady flow has been assumed. It has been used the Boussinesq approximation and the physical properties have been considered constant. The finite volumes method has been used to discrete the governing elliptical equations. The numerical solution has been obtained by the SIMPLE (Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure-Linked Equations) algorithm. A grid test was carried out and a more refined mesh was used near the heat sources region and with smooth space progression after that. The influence of the power distribution, spacing between the heat sources and cavity aspect ratio have been investigated. An analysis of the average Nusselt number of the two heat sources was realized to verify the improvement of the heat transfer coefficient.

This study analyses both theoretically and experimentally heat transfer in an array of vertical parallel printed circuit boards, cooled off by natural convection and proposes a modeling which tries to predict temperature distribution in significant places in the channels and boards. Due to its small thickness, the temperature gradient across the board was neglected, and the heat diffusion equation in two-dimensional Cartesian coordinates and steady state conditions was numerically solved. Energy balances for the componentes were formulated, and the problem was solved iterativelly. The concept of "buoyancy induced forced convection" was applied to the resistor where forced convection heat transfer coefficientes were employed. The printed circuit board has 25 resistors discretely distributed on its surface. Uniform heating tests with variation of power and distance among the printed circuit boards were performed. Good agreement between numerical and experimental results was observed.

A numerical simulation on transient natural convection occurring in a square porous cavity is reported. The bottom wall of the bidimensional cavity is heated while the upper wall is cooled, both maintained at constant temperatures. The finite volume method was applied. The applicability of the Darcy model was assumed. The transient regime is examined for several intensities of the buoyancy effects due to fluid temperature variations. The transient fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics are studied and compared to other results. Global Nusselt numbers are reported for the heated and cooled walls. Aspects of the fluid flow and temperature fields are illustrated by contour maps.

Natural convection of a liquid inside a vertical cylinder is solved numerically. The flow is caused by the uniform heating of the lateral wall. In spite of the practical importance of this problem very few results are available for the turbulent flow, which is the subject of this work. The turbulence model previously used by Ince & Launder, to study the problem of natural convection inside a rectangular cavity, was transformed into cylindrical coordinates and applied to the problem. This low Reynolds number model accepts a laminar as well as a turbulent solution. So, as the flow is initially laminar, it would be necessary in some instance to cause the transition. This difficulty was avoided by considering that in the initial condition the fluid was static but had a high turbulence intensity. This technique was not completely successful because the initial turbulent intensity had a phase effect in the solution.

At the present work, natural convection of liquid metal inside a closed cavity is examined, based on the Boussinesq approximation. The upper and lower cavity walls are adiabatic, while the vertical walls are at uniform and different temperatures. When the Prandtl number is low, the transition from the laminar to the turbulent regime occurs for a Rayleigh number approximately equal to 105. Therefore, the laminar and turbulent regimes are examined. The turbulence model selected was the two differential equation low Reynolds number LRN k -e model. The problem was numerically solved by the finite volume method, based on the Power-law interpolating scheme. The pressure-velocity coupling was solved with the algorithm SIMPLEC. The solution obtained was validated comparing with some experimental and numerical results available in the literature. The effect of the Rayleigh and Prandtl number in the flow field was examined.

This work reports a numerical investigation on buoyancy-induced flows occurring in enclosures of small aspect ratio. The numerical method used consists of the control-volume approach and a new block-implicit smoothing operator. Governing equations are written in terms of the so-called primitive variables and are recast into a general form. In the proposed method all governing equation are relaxed locally, at the same time, in contrast with commonly used segregated schemes. The effect of the Rayleigh number and aspect ratio on temperature and velocity patterns are presented.

This contribution addresses the internal forced convection problem in a circular duct including axial fluid conduction effects. The problem is modeled by taking under consideration the "two-region" model which avoids the prescription of the inlet temperature profile. The mathematical formulation is handled by the Generalized Integral Transform Technique and special consideration is given to the slug flow condition. The results are focused on the axial distribution of bulk and wall temperatures and Nusselt numbers over a range of suitable Peclet and external Biot numbers.

The transient heat transfer by natural convection in a fluid confined into a completely filled 3D cavity (H = 165 mm, L = 95 mm, W = 65 mm) is analyzed here. The fluid is initially at a temperature T fi , and at a given time, all walls are heated to T b , greater than T fi . Heat is propagated by natural convection into the enclosure, until its complete thermal equilibrium. The problem is analyzed by numerical simulations and experimental measurements, for different values of the initial Rayleigh number. The numerical simulations are performed using the finite element method for 3D natural convection flow problems. Temperature profiles during the heating process, the flow visualization of the convective patterns, a discussion of the topology of the flow into the cavity and the mixing problem resulted from the natural convective effects, are presented. Practical relations for the Nusselt number into the cavity are proposed.

The buoyancy induced convection of air in the evaporator region of household refrigerators is investigated numerically. The problem formulation accounts not only for body forces due to temperature gradients, but also to those due to moisture nonuniform concentration. In this way the whole problem is governed by two dimensionless and independent body force parameters, Grashof numbers, related to temperature and moisture concentration nonuniformity. Results were obtained for different combinations of thermal and concentration Grashof numbers, while the problem geometry remained unchanged. For a variety of operating conditions, that is, Grashof numbers, streamline pattern, temperature and moisture concentration fields are shown. Emphasis is given to overall values of Nusselt and Sherwood numbers, that allow for estimation of the sensible heat exchange and rate of air dehumidification between the evaporator and refrigerator cabinet.

Heat transfer from a surface in motion relative to either a stationary or moving fluid occurs in many materials processing applications such as hot rolling, extrusion, drawing, and drying. In this study, an analysis has been carried out to predict convective transport occurring in the laminar air boundary layer on a continuous vertical surface which moves in parallel or in counterflow with respect to the free stream in the presence of gravity. Numerical results obtained with the local non-similarity method based on boundary layer assumptions are compared to numerical results from a complete formulation. Predictions for the local skin friction and heat transfer are made for different configurations of the relative position of the surface and the free stream. The comparison allows for the establishment of criteria on when the use of boundary layer assumptions is an acceptable approximation. New results are presented with the complete formulation using the finite element method.
