Abstract The coupling between natural convection and conduction within rectan-
gular enclosure was investigated numerically. Three separate heat sources were flush
mounted on a vertical wall and an isoflux condition was applied at the back of heat
sources. The governing equations were solved using control volume formulation.
A modified Rayleigh number and a substrate/fluid thermal conductivity ratio were
used in the range 104 107 and 10 103 respectively. The investigation was
extended to examine high thermal conductivity ratio values. The results illustrated
that, when Rayleigh number increased the dimensionless heat flux and local Nusselt
number increased and the boundary layers along hot, cold and horizontal walls
were reduced significantly. An opposite behaviour for the thermal spreading in the
substrate and the dimensionless temperature, were decreased for higher Rayleigh
number. Moreover, the thermal spreading in the substrate increased for higher
substrate conductivity, which affected the temperature level. However the effect of
the substrate is negligible when the thermal conductivity ratio higher than 1,500.

In present study, the control volume technique was used to discretise the gov-
erning Eqs. (1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, and 1.5). The resulting algebraic equations were
solved sequentially by “TDMA” (Tri-Diagonal Matrix Algorithm). The “SIMPLE”
algorithm (semi-implicit method for pressure linked equations) was used to handle
the coupling between pressure and velocity as described by Patankar [18]. To
avoid the divergence in the iteration process, Under-relaxation techniques were
used to slow down the change between iterations. It is noted that, although the
solid and fluid regions have different equations, the numerical solutions within the
computational domain for continuity, momentum and energy equations are obtained
simultaneously in both regions.
The effect of the number of grid size (N x Ny/ on the numerical analysis was
carried out under the condition of the enclosure filled with FC-77 and Ral z
D 104 .
Three different uniform grid sizes were tested in both x and y directions. The results
of dimensionless temperature at solid/fluid interface show that, the mesh size of
36 * 80 gave an optimum computational time in comparison with other mesh sizes
and also gave accurate results.
The code is validated against the benchmark results of Heindel et al. [18]. The
validation results show that, dimensionless temperatures at solid/fluid interface have
the same trends and the deviation between them decreases with increase of Ral z
. The
biggest deviation was at the base of the enclosure with 11 % when Ralz D 10 and 4
The geometry used in this study is represented in Fig. 1.1. Firstly the numerical
study examined the effects of modified Rayleigh number which is based on the

applied isoflux condition in the range Ralz D 104 107 for both fluids (FC-77 and
air) and then the effect of thermal conductivity ratio Rs was examined in the range
10 1000 for FC-77 only when the modified Rayleigh number fixed at 106 .
Modified Rayleigh number was varied by changing the applied power to each
heat source. The heaters’ material used for the study was silicon with thermal
conductivity (kh D 148 W=mK) producing constant heat flux and the heater/fluid
thermal conductivity ratio is Rh D 2350 for FC-77 and Rh D 5627 for air. The
fluid Prandtl number is assumed to be 25 corresponding to FC-77 and 0.7 for
air, respectively. The flow field inside the enclosure is presented by dimensionless
stream function as follow:
Figures 1.2 and 1.3 illustrate the dimensionless streamlines for FC-77 and air
respectively. Figure 1.2a represents the results for Ral z
D 104 , where the flow is
weak with j§jmax D 7:93, where § is an absolute value. There is a small core
of nearly stagnant fluid located slightly above the centre of the enclosure, and the
heaters regions are very clear.

Figure 1.3a shows that, the flow inside the enclosure for air is also weak with
j§jmax D 6:436 but the flow is smooth. Additionally there is a thick thermal
boundary layer along solid/fluid interface wall for both fluids.
It is noticed that, with increasing Ral z
the boundary layers along hot, cold and
horizontal walls become thinner. Also the flow developed in the central region of
the cavity and becomes complex. Additionally as a result of the fluid circulation in
clockwise direction, the cold fluid swept the hot fluid near the leading edge of each
heater row and that is more noticeable for FC-77.
The dimensionless isotherms are shown in Figs. 1.4 and 1.5. For both fluids
when Ral z
D 104 , the contour lines of is nearly vertical in fluid region because the
heat transfer is controlled by conduction. The lines for air are smoother than FC-77
where the effects of heater edges are clear.
With increasing Ral z
D 107 the central of fluid region is completely stratified
and the thermal boundary layers of hot and cold walls are extremely thin. Because
of the large thermal conductivity of heaters, each heater face is isothermal but the
temperatures are different from one heater to another.
The dimensionless temperatures () at solid/fluid interface for both fluids
are studied and presented in Gdhaidh et al. [19]. The results indicate that, the
dimensionless temperature decreases Ral z
increase due to the increase in .T Tc /
00
and hence not equal to the increase in q .
Also the dimensionless local heat flux b q 00 and the local Nusselt number Nu(X) are
00
investigated. In general, both of bq and Nu(X) increase for higher Rayleigh number.

Fig. 1.6 Dimensionless streamline § at (a) Rs D 10 and (b) Rs D 1000 for FC-77 (Pr D 25,
Rh D 2350 and Ral z
D 106 )
Further investigation was carried using FC-77 to study the effects of the
substrate/fluid thermal conductivity ratio with a fixed modified Rayleigh number
Ral z
D 106 .
Figure 1.6 displays the dimensionless streamlines § for different values of Rs . It
can be noticed that, the value of § increases from j§jmax D 46:9 when Rs D 10 to
j§jmax D 53:7 when Rs D 103 . As Rs increases, the flow pattern becomes smoother,
and the stagnant core is located at the centre of the fluid region. The difference
between the two streamlines in Fig. 1.6a, b is due to a higher thermal conductivity
ratio for the case presented in Fig. 1.6b. Also the flow regions related to the discrete
heaters become indistinguishable at high values of Rs , where the fluid below Heater
3 is preheated causing fluid movement. Additionally the flow is characterised by a
clockwise circulation arising from the heaters due to the buoyancy effects.
Figure 1.7 shows the isotherms for different values of Rs . From the figure,
the heaters’ faces are isothermal but there are significant differences between the
heaters’ temperatures when Rs D 10. Those differences are due to the large
thermal conductivity of the heaters and low thermal conductivity of the substrate.
The heaters’ temperature increases from Heater 3 to Heater 1 as a result of the
increase in the local fluid temperature along the solid/fluid interface. For high value
of Rs D 103 , the maximum dimensionless temperature is decreased as more energy
is dissipated by the substrate before being transported to the fluid. Moreover, the

D 106 )
heaters and substrate along the solid/fluid interface are approximately at the same
temperature.
The dimensionless temperature distributions at the solid/fluid interface for
different values of Rs are shown in Fig. 1.8. Increase in Rs gives another path to
dissipate the heat from the heaters where more energy passes through the substrate.
When the results from using two values of Rs D 10 and Rs D 103 are compared,
there is a noticeable difference between them at the substrate region under Heater
3 where the dimensionless temperature of Rs D 103 is about 6 times higher than
that of Rs D 10 at the base of the cavity. This difference decreases as y/lz increase
until y=Lz D 3:5, where the values of for Rs D 10 passes those of Rs D 103 and
the maximum temperature when Rs D 103 is reduced by 23 %. Furthermore, the
dimensionless temperature over the entire cavity height becomes nearly isothermal
for large values of Rs .
In most applications, copper and aluminium are the preferred materials for the
substrate. These two materials have a large thermal conductivity where the thermal
conductivity ratios are 6,350 and 3,970 for copper and aluminium respectively. The
results of along the solid/fluid interface are converged for both materials, also
the heaters and substrate regions cannot be distinguished as shown in Fig. 1.8.
Therefore, with very high values of Rs , the effect of thermal conductivity ratio on
the dimensionless temperature is disappeared. As a result, the aluminium can be
used instead of copper.

Steady state natural conjugate convection analysis for rectangular cavity with
discrete heat sources flush mounted on one vertical wall has been conducted
numerically. The control volume technique with the “SIMPLE” algorithm is used to
simulate the problem. The results from this research show that:
1. At small values of modified Rayleigh number Ralz D 104 the heat transfer is
controlled by conduction. With increase Ralz the thermal boundary layers of
the hot and cold walls become extremely thin and also the flow becomes more
complex.
2. The dimensionless temperature at the solid/fluid interface for both working
fluids (FC-77 and air) decreases as Ralz increases, due to the increment in the
temperature differences is not equal to the increase in q00 .
3. There is a strong effect of the substrate thermal conductivity on the temperature
distribution as well as the maximum temperature. With increase Rs , more energy
is dissipated by the substrate, which results in a decrease of the maximum
temperature level.
4. For high values Rs > 103 , the solid/fluid interface temperature becomes isother-
mal and the discrete heater locations become almost indistinguishable. Moreover
when the Rs > 1500 the substrate has no effect on the maximum temperature.

creature in menageries and zoological gardens,—a tall, awkward
beast, with long legs, a shambling gait, one or two humps on its
oddly shapen back, a small head, the upper lip split in the centre, a
long neck, small ears, a dusty, shaggy coat, and a demeanor of
patient endurance. Buffon says that “the camel is the chief treasure
of the East.”
Gentle and hardy, demanding but little food, and that of the coarsest
description,—a few dates, a few handfuls of grain,—capable of going
for days without water, a strong beast of burden, this is one of the
most important members of an Arab family. The milk of the camel
affords the Arab cheese, and also a nourishing drink; of the animal’s
long hair is woven cloth for clothing and for tent covering; its flesh is
used for food; and across the long, hot, arid stretches of his desert
land, the Arab rides in safety, seated on his tent and household
goods piled upon the back of this “ship of the desert.”
From the earliest times the camel has been the only means of
conveying travellers and Eastern commodities across the desert. It
travels thirty or forty miles a day, under the hot sun, carrying a
burden of five hundred or six hundred pounds.
Camels have broad, callous soles over the bottoms of their feet.
These enable them to tread firmly without sinking in the desert
sand. There are also callous knobs on their knees and breasts, which
protect them as they kneel to receive burdens, or sleep in a kneeling
position. The training of the young camel begins when it is but a few
days old, and it is taught to get along with the smallest possible
allowance of food, drink, and sleep.
The stomach of the camel is provided with numerous little sacs,
called water-cells; these drain off a considerable quantity of water
when the camel is drinking, and retain it for several days, restoring it
gradually to the stomach. The camel seems to prefer coarse,
unsucculent, dry food, and burning sunshine; it never seeks the
shade. It is perhaps apathetic, rather than gentle; it seems little
impressed by kindness, and, like the elephant, has a long memory
for injuries.
Following the camel in our menageries usually comes a very strange-
looking beast, the tallest of all animals. With its long neck, small
head, and its habit of browsing off the tree-tops, it reminds us of
what we have read of that fossil beast, the iguanodon. This is the
giraffe, often called the camelopard, which name is given it because
it has a somewhat camel-like form, and the beautiful spotted skin of
a leopard.
If we watch a giraffe in a menagerie, we shall remark the beauty of
its silky, spotted coat, the gentleness of its large, eager eyes, its two
short horns covered with skin, its ears turned backward, its long,
dark tongue, with which it constantly licks its lips and nostrils. Timid
and mild, the giraffe shows vexation only by pawing the ground
rapidly with its fore hoofs; it will bend its stately head to accept an
apple or a carrot from a little child, and seems to forget the days
when it wandered through the African forests, and browsed on fruit
and leaves from the tops of the trees.
The giraffe is one of the swiftest of animals, and it is almost
impossible to take an adult alive. They are generally captured while
very young, and brought up on camels’ milk, until old enough to eat
grain and green fodder.
The Western hemisphere gives us no animal corresponding to the
giraffe. In South America the llama in some measure represents and
takes the place of the camel; but the tall and beautiful giraffe stands
alone of his kind.
We now turn to the fourth family of the ruminants, distinguished by
the fact that they shed and renew their horns. The horns of the cow,
ox, sheep, antelope, and goat are permanent. If by any accident
they are lost, they are not renewed; but the deer family shed their
horns, which indeed, are not properly called horns, but antlers.
Antlers are a horny growth, large and branching, divided into what
are called tines. Up to a certain age these antlers grow, fall off, and
are renewed every year, and there is no mammal peculiarity more
wonderful than the rapid growth of these large frontal ornaments. In
many of the deer species the male alone wears the antlers. In the
reindeer family both males and females have these huge horny
branches.
The deer family is distinguished for grace of movement and beauty
of form. They have smooth, close, hairy coats, but on the breast of
the male deer the hair grows long and is called a beard. The eyes
are large, clear, and bright, full of gentle eagerness, and furnished
on the inner corner with a curious hollow, or gland, called the tear-
pit. They have small, pointed ears, and short tails; their legs are
slim, and their hoofs are small, the whole animal being built for
lightness in running. Even the antlers are not nearly so heavy as
they look, for they are porous and full of air-cells.
The deer family is distributed over the entire world. Deer vary in size
from the large elk or moose, the royal stag, and the magnificent
wapiti, to the small roe deer, not so large as a sheep, and the pigmy
deer, which is the smallest of all ruminants, and indeed, is not larger
than a hare.
Deer are vegetable-feeders, and in the coldest climates are capable
of living on lichens, and the scantiest fare. In the far north reindeer
or caribous furnish the chief wealth of the people, and serve instead
of cows, horses, and sheep, their flesh and milk being the chief
food-supply, and their skins furnishing clothing and bedding. They
serve also as draught animals, and pull sledges over the snow with
incredible swiftness.
Deer generally live in herds; the mother is a most vigilant and tender
parent, devoting herself to her twin children with tireless care. Deer
are distinguished for the perfection of their senses of sight, smell,
and hearing, and as soon as one of a herd discovers anything that
indicates danger, the alarm is given, and away they go. The deer
mothers, while feeding, are constantly alert, and hurry their little
ones off at the first hint of danger. The general disposition of the
deer is amiable, but the old males sometimes fight furiously
together, and if brought to bay by hunters, defend themselves
valiantly with hoofs and horns.
Passing now from the ungulates, we reach a very well-known order
of mammals, called the carnivora, or flesh-eaters. This order is
divided into two sub-orders, the pinnipeds, or “fin-footed,” and the
fissipeds, or “slit-footed.” In our study of the seal we have had the
best example of the fin-footed, or aquatic carnivora. Bring up your
dog or your cat for a sample of the slit-footed flesh-eaters. Ponto,
set your foot down firmly, and let us look at it. All the toes are of
equal length; the foot looks as if a roundish foot had been deeply slit
into toes, which are hairy up to the nails. The feet of web-footed
animals would look like this if they were not webbed.[93]
These slit-footed, or fissiped creatures, are divided into several
species, and there is considerable difference in their way of treading;
some, as the cats, walk on their toes. Come here, kitty, let us see
your feet. Kitty can draw her claws close into the “velvet,” or fur, of
her paw so that you would not know she had sharp nails. As she
does this she curls her foot up into a cushion, and walks on the ends
of her toes. Look at her foot when she stretches it; how well you can
see the slit-foot arrangement and the clawed toes. Kitty is a mild and
domestic representative of the great, feline race, at the head of
which stands the lion. Ponto, on the other hand, is a civilized and
educated specimen of the canine race, which numbers among its
members the wolf.
While kitty draws in her claws and walks on her toes, the bears are
what is called plantigrade carnivora, for they walk on the flat soles of
their feet. These carnivora are all flesh-eaters, but when educated
and refined, like Ponto and Kitty, they will eat any kind of food.
Among the carnivora we enumerate lions, tigers, bears, cougars,
hyenas, panthers, wolves, jackals, leopards, cats, dogs, badgers,
and many more. You see they embrace all the fiercest and most
dangerous wild beasts, as well as our domestic friends, the cat and
the dog. If you will open Kitty’s mouth, or Ponto’s, you will see what
style of teeth these carnivora have; they are made for tearing flesh,
and are accompanied by sharp claws for holding fast the living prey.
All the carnivora are singularly strong, agile, and tenacious of life.
The carnivora are so varied and interesting, that we leave them to
be studied elsewhere, and indeed so we must serve the final order
of mammals—the primates.[94]
These primates are divided into two sub-orders, the quadrumana, or
four-handed animals, and the human race. Many scientists, instead
of the order primates, with these two sub-orders, give us the order
quadrumana, or monkeys, and the order bimana, or man, and that is
the better division.
The quadrumana, or ape families, contain a large number of curious
and interesting animals, all natives of tropical regions. They are hairy
creatures, with three kinds of teeth, and are adapted for eating
nearly all kinds of food. They are well known to us in menageries,
and are frequently seen on our streets, fancifully dressed, and in
company with a man and an organ, surrounded also by a group of
admiring children.
“How many children are there in your family, Pierre?” we one day
asked a bright little Italian boy.
“Four, and the monkey, signora.”
“But the monkey, Pierre, does not count with the children.”
“O signora! for care and trouble he counts more than the children!
He must have the warmest corner and the best food. At night, for
warmth, he sleeps in my father’s arms. He gets cold ten times as
often as we do; and if he gets a cold he must have the doctor, for he
is likely to die. If he dies, away go all our saved dollars for more
monkey! Gracious! O signora! do you think our father would let our
monkey run round in the streets and look out for his own dinner as
Marie and I do? The thing is impossible!”
THE END.
FOOTNOTES:
[92] The animal called a buffalo in America is not a buffalo, but a
bison. The buffalo of India and Italy is the Bubalus, the buffalo of
the Western plains is the bison. The large, wild bison of Germany
is called the Aurochs. All these animals belong to the family
Bovidæ.
[93] If we examine the toes of the cat and dog, we shall see that
the skin extends web-like partly up the toe bones.
[94] It has been impossible in so small a book to discuss with any
minuteness the subjects noticed in the closing chapters. It is
hoped that the hints given will incite pupils to study and observe
the domestic animals of which we see so much and know so little.
