The transient behavior for natural convection heat transfer within a vertical cylindrical enclosure was studied using the SIMPLER numerical algorithm. Initially, the temperature of the internal fluid was uniform. The unsteady state heat transfer was initiated by a temperature step change applied to all boundaries. The boundary temperature was then increased at the same rate as the center temperature until pseudosteady state was achieved. (Pseudosteady state is comparable to steady state convection for a fluid with uniform heat generation.) The transient heat transfer coefficient and the intensity of flow, along with the magnitude and the location of the minimum temperature, mean temperature, and maximum stream function are presented. Temperature and stream function contours are used to show the penetration of heat from the boundary and the development of the flow patterns. The local Nusselt number is also provided as supplementary information. A cylinder with HID = 1 was considered, with the Prandtl number of the fluid equal to 7 and a Rayleigh number of 105. A characteristic length defined as 6 x (volume)/(surface area), which was found to produce the best regression results in our previous studies, was used in defining the Nusselt number and the Rayleigh number. The initial heat transfer rate was found to be correlated by Nu =0.938 (Dimensionless Time) -0567 Oscillatory phenomena were found in support of the prediction made by Patterson and Imberger. |
