Investigation of Heat and Mass Transfer and Irreversibility Phenomena Within a Three-Dimensional Tilted Enclosure for Different Shapes

Resumo

Three-dimensional thermosolutal natural convection and entropy generation within an inclined enclosure is investigated in the current study. A numerical method based on the finite volume method and a full multigrid technique is implemented to solve the governing equations. Effects of various parameters, namely, the aspect ratio, buoyancy ratio, and tilt angle on the flow patterns and entropy generation are predicted and discussed.
