Summary

Numerical study of natural convection flow in a tilting enclosure filled with micropolar fluids has been investigated. The results indicate that dependence of microrotation term and heat transfer on microstructure parameters is significant. The effects of heat source locations and arrangement of multiple heat sources are studied to arrive at qualitative suggestions that may improve the cooling design of the system. The effect of the microrotation boundary conditions on heat transfer is also discussed.
