A Study on Natural Convection in a Rectangular Enclosure with a Heating Source

열원을 가지는 사각밀폐공간내의 자연대류에 관한 연구

Study on natural convection in a rectangular enclosure with a heating point has been studied by numerical and experimental methods. The governing equations were solved by a finite volume method, and for pressure term was used a SIMPLE algorithm. The parameters considered for numerical study are positions and surface temperature of a heating point i.e. Y/H = 0.25. 0.5. 0.75 and $11^{\circ}C{\leq}{\Delta}T{\leq}59^{\circ}C$. The results of isotherms and velocity vectors have been represented for various parameters. Based on the numerical data. the mean Nusselt number in the space can be expressed as a function of Grashof number
