Fluid flow and heat transfer of natural convection around heated V-shaped cavity

Natural convective flows around V-shaped cavities are encountered in some engineering applications such as over the heat-transfer plates or roofs having triangular-shaped grooves. In order to assess the heat transfer performance of these plates or roofs, detailed information on their flow and heat t...

Fluid flow and heat transfer of natural convection around heated V-shaped cavity
description Natural convective flows around V-shaped cavities are encountered in some engineering applications such as over the heat-transfer plates or roofs having triangular-shaped grooves. In order to assess the heat transfer performance of these plates or roofs, detailed information on their flow and heat transfer will be needed. Thus, the experimental investigations have been carried out on natural convection of water induced around a heated, V-shaped open cavity. The open angles, θ, and the side lengths, W / 2, were varied systematically as θ = 90-180° and W / 2 = 25, 50, 100 mm.
