Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 13Using of Bejan's Heatline Technique for Analysis of Natural Convection in a Divided Cavity With Differentially Changing Conductive Partition(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2013) Koca, Ahmet; Öztop, Hakan Fehmi; Varol, Yasin; Mobedi, MoghtadaThe issue of laminar natural convection and conduction in enclosures divided by a partition with different thicknesses is investigated numerically. The partition is accepted as conductive at different thermal conductivity ratio. The cavity is filled with air, and it is heated differentially from vertical walls while horizontal walls are adiabatic. The problem is solved for different values of Rayleigh number (103 ≤ Ra ≤ 106), thickness ratio of the partition, and thermal conductivity ratio (0.1 ≤ k ≤ 10.0). It is found that both heat transfer and flow strength strongly depend on the thermal conductivity ratio of the solid material of partition and Rayleigh numbers.Article Citation - WoS: 19Citation - Scopus: 18Heat Transfer Reduction Due To a Ceiling-Mounted Barrier in an Enclosure With Natural Convection(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2011) Gediz İliş, Gamze; Mobedi, Moghtada; Öztop, Hakan FehmiEffects of a ceiling-mounted barrier on natural convection heat transfer in a square cavity with differentially heated wall are numerically investigated. A limit case, in which the partition has small thickness and low thermal conductivity, is studied. The study is performed for nine different locations of barrier on the ceiling, two different lengths of barrier as 15 and 50% of the side wall, and Rayleigh numbers from 103 to 106. The vorticity and streamfunction approach is used to obtain velocity distribution, and the energy equation is solved to determine temperature field in the cavity. The variations of the local Nusselt number on the hot and cold walls and the change of mean Nusselt number with the location of barrier in the cavities with different Rayleigh numbers are presented. The obtained results show that a wall-mounted barrier can be used to reduce heat transfer rate through the cavity; however, its effectiveness depends on length and location of barrier and Rayleigh number.Article Citation - WoS: 27Citation - Scopus: 28Effects of Wall-Located Heat Barrier on Conjugate Conduction/Natural- Convection Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow in Enclosures(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2008) Hakyemez, Erinç; Mobedi, Moghtada; Öztop, Hakan FehmiThe effects of a heat barrier, located in the ceiling wall of an enclosure, on conjugate conduction/natural convection are investigated numerically. The vertical walls of the enclosure are differentially heated and the horizontal walls are adiabatic. Heatline technique is used to visualize heat transport. The variations of average Nusselt number, dimensionless heat transfer rate through the ceiling wall, and dimensionless overall heat transfer rate are studied. Calculations are performed for different Rayleigh numbers (10 3≤ Ra ≤ 10 6), thermal conductivity ratios (1 ≤ K ≤ 100), dimensionless locations of the heat barrier (0 < X h < 1),and two dimensionless ceiling wall thicknesses (D = 0.05 and D = 0.20). For high thermal conductivity ratio (K = 100), the heat barrier considerably reduces the dimensionless overall heat transfer rate. The effect of the heat barrier on dimensionless heat transfer rate through the enclosure increases as the Rayleigh number decreases. For low Rayleigh number (i.e., Ra = 10 3), a location exists in the ceiling wall for which the dimensionless overall heat transfer rate is minimum.
