Abstract

In this paper, a numerical study of buoyancy-aided steady convection heat transfer from a horizontal cylinder placed in free stream is presented. Solutions for cases with Re=10, 20, 40 and Ri=0, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0 were obtained using finite difference scheme. The results shows that the buoyancy force assists the forced convection flow by delaying the flow separation thus improves the convective heat transfer compared to corresponding pure forced convection. Such assisted flow significantly improves the heat transfer characteristics from the heated cylinder.
