Abstract
Entropy generation of double diffusive natural convection in a three dimensional differentially heated enclosure has been performed numerically. Vertical walls of enclosure are heated differentially and remaining walls are adiabatic. The obtained results were presented via iso-concentration, iso-temperatures, velocity vector projection, particle trajectories, velocity profiles, iso-entropy, local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers, average Nusselt and Sherwood numbers and Bejan numbers at different value of buoyancy ratio (-2 <= N <= 2) and Rayleigh numbers (10(3) <= Ra <= 10(5)). The Lewis number is fixed at Le = 2. It is found that both Rayleigh number and buoyancy ratio play dominant role on entropy generation and heat and mass transfer as well as fluid flow. A special case occurred between -1.5 <= N <= -1 and complex structure is observed.
