Abstract A numerical mixed convection investigation was carried out to study the enhancement of heat transfer in a square cavity with identical heated rectangular blocks adjacent to its upper wall, and submitted to a vertical jet of fresh air from below. The configuration so defined is an inverted "T"-shaped cavity presenting symmetry with respect to a vertical axis passing by the middle of the openings. The governing equations have been solved using the finite difference method. The parameters of this study are: Rayleigh number 104 ≤ Ra ≤ 106, Reynolds number 1 ≤ Re ≤ 1000, the opening More >
