Laminar natural convection heat transfer from a hot body in a square enclosure has been studied for various center positions of a hot square at Grashof number $Gr=1.5{\times}10^5$, Prandtl number Pr=0.71 and dimensionless thermal conductivity $k_g/k_f=14710$. The natural convection at the center position of a hot square; $X_c$, $Y_c=0.5$, 0.2 shows the most strong and at $X_c$, $Y_c=0.5$, 0.7 the most weak. The total mean Nusselt number at $X_c$, $Y_c=0.5$, 0.2 was 7.4% higher than that at $X_c$, $Y_c=0.2$, 0.5. The total mean Nusselt number at $X_c$, $Y_c=0.5$, 0.7 was 5.0% lower than that at $X_c$, $Y_c=0.3$, 0.5.

Laminar natural convection heat transfer from a hot body in a square enclosure has been stooled for various inclination angles at $Gr=1.5{\times}10^5$, Pr= 0.71 and $k_s/k_f=14710$. The area of a hot body is 1/25 of the enclosure and the aspect ratio is 1.0. The total mean Nusselt number decreases as the inclination angle increases and in case of ${\theta}=90^{\circ}$ is 14% lower than that of ${\theta}=0^{\circ}$.

This investigation is carried out numerically for the two dimensional natural convection and surface radiation heat transfer in a square enclosure. The bottom and top walls are isothermal at hot and cold temperatures respectively whereas the left and right side walls are adiabatic except a transparent window on the right side partially. The exchange of radiant energy is obtained by the net radiation method and the shape factor by the crossed string method. The changes in temperature and Nusselt number distributions of the walls due to the surface radiation and insolation are also investigated.
