The conjugate natural convection heat transfer with and without the interaction of the surface radiation in a square enclosure was carried out by numerical simulation. The vertical walls of the square enclosure were heated with different temperatures, and the others were adiabatic. A circular tube was inserted into the square enclosure. It was observed that varied location of the tube center can lead to different motion and heat transfer intensities. In addition, surface radiation reduces the convective heat transfer in the square enclosure compared to the pure natural convection case and enhances the overall heat transfer performance.

The interaction of conjugate turbulent natural convection and surface thermal radiation in an air-filled square enclosure having heat-conducting solid walls of finite thickness and a heat source has been numerically studied. The primary focus was on the influence of surface emissivity on complex heat transfer. The mathematical model has been formulated in dimensionless variables such as stream function, vorticity and temperature using k-ε turbulent model. The effect of surface emissivity on the average total Nusselt number has been defined. The distributions of streamlines and temperature fields, describing characteristics of the analyzed fluid flow and heat transfer have been obtained. The results clearly show an essential effect of surface radiation on unsteady turbulent heat transfer.
