Abstract

Mechanics Physical Sciences Science & Technology Technology Thermodynamics
A numerical study of double-diffusive natural convection in an enclosure with a partial vertical heat and mass sources for an aspect ratio Ar = 4 has been carried out. The influence of various dimensionless parameters (Rayleigh number, buoyancy ratio, source location, Lewis number, and source length) on the flow behavior are investigated. Correlations of average Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are obtained as function of two parameters (Ra, d) and (Le, d), respectively.
