ABSTRACT
In this article, a numerical study was conducted to examine the
effect of location and diameter of the inner cylinder on laminar
natural convection flow fields and temperature distribution
around a circular body inserted square cavity. In order to study
different situations, the radius of obstacle varied from 0.2 to 0.3
length of square, the Rayleigh number between 103 to 107 and
solid contraction of nanofluid with diameter of 40 nanometers
changed from 0 to 8%. The above parameters can be used as a
control parameter for heat transfer, fluid flow and temperature
distributions. The results show that in situations where the heated
circular body is close to the lower wall of the cavity, the change
of temperature field and streamlines is more noticeable than any
other position. On the other hand, Nusselt number and
consequently heat transfer increases with increasing of solid
volume fraction of nanoparticles. Also when the radius of the
body decrease from 0.3L to 0.15L, the Nusselt number increase
by 79.15 percent.
