Abstract
Two-dimensional steady laminar natural convection around a heat conducting and generating solid body inside a square enclosure with different thermal boundaries is performed. The mathematical model is governed by the coupled equation of mass, momentum and energy. These equations are discretized by finite volume method with power-law scheme and solved numerically by SIMPLE algorithm with under-relaxation technique. Effect of Rayleigh number, temperature difference ratio of solid-fluid, aspect ratio of solid-enclosure and the thermal conductivity ratio of solid-fluid are investigated numerically for Pr = 0.7. The flow and heat transfer aspects are demonstrated in the form of streamlines and isotherms respectively.
