Numerical Study of Mixed Convection through Horizontal Duct Utilizing Al₂O₃

Abstract:

In the present study, mixed convection in a horizontal rectangular duct using Al₂O₃ is numerically investigated. The effects of different Rayleigh number, Reynolds number and radiation on flow and heat transfer characteristics were studied in detail. This study covers Rayleigh number in the range of 2 10⁶ ≤ Ra ≤ 2 10⁷ and Reynolds number in the range of 100 ≤ Re ≤ 1100. Results reveal that the Nusselt number increases as Reynolds and Rayleigh numbers increase. It was also found that the dimensionless temperature distribution increases as Rayleigh number increases.
