Numerical analysis of convective heat transport in a porous semi‐trapezoidal enclosure with radiation effect
Authors:Syed Fazuruddin  S Sreekanth  G S S Raju
Abstract:A theoretical and numerical study of natural convection of two‐dimensional laminar incompressible flow in a semi‐trapezoidal porous enclosure in the presence of thermal radiation is conducted. The semi‐trapezoidal enclosure has an inclined left wall that in addition to the right vertical wall is maintained at a constant temperature, whereas the remaining (horizontal) walls are adiabatic. The Darcy‐Brinkman isotropic model is utilized. The governing partial differential equations are transformed using a vorticity stream function and nondimensional quantities and the resulting governing nonlinear dimensionless equations are solved using the finite difference method with incremental steps. The impacts of the different model parameters (Rayleigh number Ra], Darcy number Da], and radiation parameter Rd]) on the thermofluid characteristics are studied in detail. The computations show that convective heat transfer is enhanced with the greater Darcy parameter (permeability). The flow is accelerated with the increasing buoyancy effect (Rayleigh number) and heat transfer is also increased with a greater radiative flux. The present numerical simulations are more relevant to hybrid porous media solar collectors.
