An external air flow enters the cavity through an opening located at the bottom of the left vertical wall and exits from an opening located at the three different positions of the opposite wall. The developed mathematical model is governed by the two-dimensional continuity, momentum, energy, and concentration equations. The governing equations, written in non-dimensional form are solved by using Galerkin finite element method with triangular grid discretization system. The Reynolds number is fixed at 100 and the working fluid is considered as air. Numerical simulations are carried out for different combinations of the thermal Grashof numbers and results are presented in terms of streamlines, temperature and concentration distributions. The results indicate that the average Nusselt and Sherwood numbers on the heat and contaminant sources strongly depend on the positioning of the exit opening.</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> double di usive mixed convection, vented cavity, finite element</p><p>DOI = 10.3329/cerb.v13i1.2512</p> <p><em>Chemical Engineering Research Bulletin</em> 13 (2009) 17-24</p>}, number={1}, journal={Chemical Engineering Research Bulletin}, author={Saha, Sumon and Hasan, Mohammad Nasim and Khan, Iftheker Ahmed}, year={2009}, month={Oct.}, pages={17–24} }
