Abstract
This study investigates the heat transfer in the mode of natural convection from a pair of hot cylinders to a cold square enclosure. Effects of boundary
conditions of the enclosure on the rate of heat transfer from a pair of isothermal hot cylinders are investigated at a Rayleigh number of 10
5
. The
cylinders are arranged in a horizontal array at the middle height of enclosure. The commercial software, Fluent (V.6.3.26), is utilized to solve the
problem using the Finite Volume Method. The streamlines as well as isothermal lines of the problem are reported. Moreover, the local Nusselt
number on the walls of enclosure is calculated. The results show that the boundary conditions of the enclosure have crucial effects on the heat
transfer of a pair of hot cylinders.
