Abstract:
The effects of a heat barrier, located in the thick ceiling wall of a square enclosure, on conjugate conduction and natural convection heat transfer are investigated numerically. The analysis is performed by numerical solution of the continuity, unsteady momentum conservation and energy equations with finite difference solution method based on the streamfunction-vorticity formulation. The vertical walls of the enclosure are differentially heated and horizontal walls are adiabatic. A thin heat barrier, having infinite thermal resistance, is located in the ceiling wall at different locations. The calculations are made for different Rayleigh numbers (103 Ra 106), thermal conductivity ratios (1 K 100), dimensionless locations of heat barrier (0
