Abstract The study goes further to investigate a two-dimensional numerical model coupling free convection and surface radiation in an air-filled cavity containing a heated thin finned plate. The square enclosure is subjected to isothermal and insulated boundary conditions while the heating element location is varied from the horizontal position (HPFU, HPFD) to the vertical position (VPFL). The dimensionless governing equations under Boussinesq approximations are coupled with a radiative model through the boundaries conditions and solved by the Finite Volume Method. The effects of the pertinent parameters, namely, Rayleigh number (103≤Ra≤106), fin length (0.125≤La≤0.875), fin position (0.25≤Ha≤0.75) and wall emissivity (0≤ε≤1) are… More >
