Abstract

Study of mixed convection heat transfer in horizontal ducts is an important field of research that mainly relates to electronic devices cooling process. Some simple industrial application that relates to this field includes computer processors, solar collectors, and thermal energy conversion devices. Numerical amalysis is presented on mixed convection to study the heat transfer for hydrodynamically fully developed, thermally developing laminar air flow inhorizontal ducts using air as the medium.
