Analysis of three-dimensional natural convection and entropy generation in a water filled open trapezoidal enclosure
Journal Title: International Journal of Innovation Engineering and Science Research - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
A three-dimensional numerical analysis of laminar natural convection with entropy generation in an open trapezoidal cavity filled with water has been carried out. In this investigation, the inclined wall is maintained at isothermal hot temperature while cold water enters into the cavity from its right open boundary and all other walls are assumed to be perfect thermal insulators. Attention is paid on the effects of buoyancy forces on the flow structure and temperature distribution inside the open enclosure. Rayleigh number is the main parameter which changes from 103 to 105 and Prandtl number is fixed at Pr =6.2. Obtained results have been presented in the form of particles trajectories, iso-surfaces of temperature and those of entropy generated as well as the average Nusselt number. It has been found that the flow structure is sensitive to the value of Rayleigh number and that heat transfer increases with increasing this parameter.
