Abstract
In this study a numerical investigation of mixed convection in air due to the interaction between a buoyancy flow and a moving plate induced flow in a vertical channel is carried out. The moving plate has a constant velocity and moves along the buoyancy force direction whereas the principal walls of the channel are heated with uniform heat flux. The effects of the channel spacing, heat flux and moving plate velocity are investigated and results in terms of the channel wall and moving plate temperatures are given. Results show that the moving plate effects are more significant when the channel gap b is lower, for lower moving plate velocity values. For higher moving plate velocity values these effects are more considerable for all b values and for lower heat flux values.
