摘要：
The entropy generation during the transient laminar natural convection in a square enclosure that is partially heated from a vertical lateral wall is numerically investigated. The active sites referring to the main irreversibility locations are determined. The Boussinesq approximation is used in the natural convection modelling. The effects of Prandtl (Pr) and Rayleigh (Ra) number combinations on the entropy generation are investigated. The study is restricted to the fluids of Prandtl number from 0.01 to 1.0, and Rayleigh numbers in the range of 10(2)-10(8). It is found that the upper corner of the heated part of the side wall is the active site where the entropy generation initiates due to irreversibilities representing the energy loss.
