Abstract This paper investigates numerically the conjugate heat transfer in a concentric enclosure that is formed between two concentric cylinders and filled with micropolar fluid. The wall of inner cylinder is considerably thick, while the wall of outer cylinder is very thin. The inner cylinder is heated from inner side through constant heat flux, whereas the outer cylinder is cooled and maintained at constant temperature. The induced buoyancy driven flow and associated conjugate heat transfer are predicted numerically by solving flow and energy governing equations considering a combination of finite difference and Fourier spectral methods. The study investigates the effect of… More >
