Numerical Analysis of Transport Phenomena between Heated Vertical Parallel Plates

Abstract

To analyze the natural convective heat transfer from an electronic system, the natural convective heat transfer phenomena between uniformly heated vertical parallel plates were analyzed.
The equations of motion and the energy equation were solved numerically under suitable boundary conditions. The velocity and temperature distributions between the plates were obtained for the case where the distributor plates were attached at the top or bottom of the plates.
The calculated velocity and temperature distributions agreed approximately with the experimental ones.
