Enclosure phenomena in forced convection

ABSTRACT Experiments on low forced convective heat transportation are carried out over a square plate within a confinement. Analysis is carried out for the interaction of heat transportation with enclosure in the aid of varying surface orientations. Enclosure effect is noted on the heat transportation from the pilot source for three different cases of fully closed exit, partially closed and fully open exit. The conditions for optimal transportation of heat and related implications are detailed under varying conditions of orientations and enclosure placement. Results shows that enclosures can be of magnificent assistance for varying conditions of heat energy conservation. Partially enclosed confinements are betters for purposes of additional heat conservation or heat transportation. At certain locations they shift role from heat conservation to enhanced heat transfer. The key controlling parameter enclosure distance optimizes the enclosure effect with surface orientation.
