Analysis of a transient asymmetrically heated/cooled open thermosiphon.

Author(s) : JONES G. F., CAI J.

Type of article: Article

Summary

A numerical study of transient natural convection in a rectangular open thermosiphon having asymmetric thermal boundary conditions is presented. One vertical wall of the thermosiphon is either heated by constant heat flux or cooled by convection to the surroundings. The top of the thermosiphon is open to a large reservoir of fluid at constant temperature. The vorticity, energy, and stream-function equations are solved by finite differences on graded mesh. The ADI method and iteration with overrelaxation are used.
