Convective Heat Transfer inside a Fluid-Filled Rectangular Cavity

摘要

Heat transfer is one of interesting fields of research investigated in many engineering applications. It relates to the amount of energy transferred due to temperature difference of two or more surfaces of materials at a particular mode of transfer in respect of time. Heat transfer has several modes of delivery including convection, conduction, and radiation. Heat can be transferred through a medium or a combination of mediums which can be forms of solid, liquid, and gas or a combination of those forms. A number of researches have been carried out related to heat transfer concepts in a number areas of applications including energy, industry, health, etc. This research is to review on convective heat transfer inside a fluid-filled rectangular cavity and address a number of conditions affecting convective heat transfer of the systems including: effect of partially active wall, effect of nanoparticle fluid, effect of magnetic field, and effect of thermo-sensitive gels & functional particles. The conclusions are also presented based on the explanation of the information and data collected.
