Abstract

A study is presented on the ventilation mechanism of patio dwellings. The combined heat transfer by natural and forced convections, conduction is studied by solving the governing equations for mixed convection and conduction. The flow is assumed to be laminar and two dimensional. The density variation is taken into account by the Boussinesq approximation. The control-volume approach is used for solving the governing equations of conjugate heat transfer involving conduction in the walls. The study covers the Rayleigh number from 103 to 106, the Reynolds number from 10 to 103 and kr = kmat/kair from 0 to 100 for Pr = 0.72 (air) and cavity aspect ratio B from 0.8 to 1.3. produced and the results are presented in terms of the Nusselt number as function of other parameters. The mechanism of ventilation in patio systems is discussed.
