Abstract

Heat transfer by natural convection and surface radiation in an inclined cavity containing two heat-generating blocks is studied. This configuration can be used for cooling electronic components. The differential equations are discretized and solved by the finite volume method and the SIMPLE algorithm. The Radiative Transfer Equation (RTE) is discretized by the Discrete Ordinate Method (DOM). The effects of emissivity \(\left(\varepsilon =0\,\mathrm{or}\,1\right)\), thermal conductivity \(\left(0.1\le K\le 1\right)\) and tilt angle \(\left(-90^\circ \le \gamma \le 90^\circ \right)\) on dynamic and thermal characteristics are studied. The results show that these parameters have a significant effect on the flow structure and isotherms. The effect of \(\gamma \) showed that the \(45^\circ \) angle causes good cooling of both blocks.
