Abstract
The effect of the presence of a thin, perfectly conductive baffle on the development of laminar convection in a vertical channel has been investigated numerically. The channel has different constant wall temperatures which are higher than those at the entrance. Velocity and temperature profiles have been presented. The effect of the different parameters on heat transfer in the channel has been discussed. The occurrence of flow reversal has been observed in some cases but examination of this phenomenon has been considered to be beyond the scope of the present work. For long channels, the numerical solutions approach the fully developed flow analytical solution. Finally, the results showed that higher values of Nuh can be obtained when the baffle is near the hot wall.
