On natural convection in a single and two zone rectangular enclosure
Abstract Convective heat transfer was investigated numerically for rectangular enclosures both undivided and divided in two zones by a vertical partition, and having opposite isothermal walls at different temperatures. The aspect ratio was varied from 0.1 to 16 and the Rayleigh number from 3.5 ∗ 10 3 to ∗ 10 7 (non-partitioned enclosures) and from 1.0 ∗ 10 5 to 1.6 ∗ 10 8 (partitioned enclosures). The thickness and conductivity of the partition were varied. The end wall thermal boundary conditions were adiabatic or LTP (Linear Temperature Profile). The continuity, momentum and energy equations for a 2-D laminar steady flow were solved under the Boussinesq approximation by using a finite-dif…
