description | In this work, a laminar steady-state investigation of free convection in a square cavity with differential heated side walls is examined. The cavity is immersed with a viscoplastic liquid the Bingham prototype. The horizontal walls are assumed as adiabatic and the vertical wall has two spatial differing sinusoidal temperature profiles with diverse phases and amplitudes. The hydro-thermal features are systematically analyzed via a broad choice of Rayleigh numbers Ra (103-106), Bingham numbers Bn, Prandtl numbers Pr (0.1, 1, 10), amplitude ratio ε (0–––1), phase difference ϕ (0-π) and flow index n (0.3–2). The governing equations are treated computationally utilizing a commercial computational simulation code CFD: FLUENT. It has been observed that average Nusselt numbers grow with growing Rayleigh numbers and drop with increasing Bingham quantity Bn, since heat transition occurs primarily due to thermic conductivity. In general, a higher Rayleigh number promotes convection and increases heat transfer efficiency, leading to a higher Nusselt number, whereas a higher Bingham number, indicating a higher degree of viscous or yield-stress behavior, may inhibit convection and decrease heat transfer efficiency, which ended in a lower Nusselt number. These connections frequently appear in heat transport and fluid dynamics simulations. The rise in the phase difference suggests an upsurge in heat transference, as the impact of the phase shift on the Nusselt is perpetually enhanced due to the amount of Rayleigh boosts for all phase differences. Heat transition rate for ϕ=π is boosted because of the values. Moreover, when the amplitude ratio goes up, so does heat transfer. The gap between average Nusselt and Rayleigh amounts rose as the Rayleigh rose. The thermal flow rate is bigger in ε=1 than in the other cases. The rise in phase difference suggests a rise in heat transference, as this effect of phase shift on Nusselt continues to be enhanced due to the amount of Rayleigh boosts for all phase differences. Heat transition rate is enhanced for ϕ=π based on the values. Plus, when the amplitude ratio grows, so does heat transmission. The rate of heat transport for ε=1 is larger than in the other cases. |
