摘要：

Analysis of natural convection with heating source protruding from the nonheated lower surface of a rectangular enclosure has been performed using experimental apparatus of a two-dimensional particle image velocimetry system. Results obtained from the experiments are used to validate the numerical simulations. Extensive numerical simulation is carried out using in-house code based on the finite-volume method and the SIMPLE algorithm. Heat transfer and entropy generation are estimated numerically for a protruding heater of different perimeters and aspect ratios, Rayleigh number, and Prandtl number. It is found that the Rayleigh number, Prandtl number, and heater sizes have strong influence on the flow fields, thermal mixing, heat transfer characteristics, and entropy production rate in the enclosure. The analysis indicates that a high thermal mixing may not be the most favorable situation for achieving higher degree of temperature uniformity. The effect of Bejan number is discussed.
