Abstract

A combined experimental and theoretical study has been carried out to investigate mixed convection heat transfer in a shallow cavity with a moving bottom. The shear force is produced by a moving belt constituting the sixth wall of 6×2×1 shallow cavity. The test cell is equipped with two heat exchangers and three thermocouple racks for measuring the temperature distributions at twelve different positions. The temperature field was scanned in the cavity for various flow and temperature boundary conditions. A two-dimensional laminar and low Reynolds number k-ε turbulence models were used to analyze the problem theoretically. The numerical and experimental results are compared and reasonably good agreement was found.
