Abstract The conjugate natural convection heat transfer in a partially heated porous enclosure had been studied numerically. The governing dimensionless
equations are solved using finite element method. Classical Darcy model have been used and the considering dimensionless parameters are modified
Rayleigh number (10 ≤ Ra ≤ 103), finite wall thickness (0.02 ≤ D ≤ 0.5), thermal conductivity ratio (0.1 ≤ Kr ≤ 10), and the aspect ratio (0.5 ≤ A≤ 10).
The results are presented in terms of streamlines, isotherms and local and average Nusselt number. The results indicate that heat transfer can be
enhanced by increasing More >
