Abstract: | Transient conjugate natural convection heat transfer in open-ended vertical concentric annuli is investigated numerically.
The governing equations of an induced laminar flow for a fluid of Pr=0.7 are solved using a finite-difference technique. The
heating is achieved by a step change in the temperature of the outer surface of the outer tube while the inner surface of
the inner tube is kept adiabatic. The range of Grashof number considered is 500≤Gr*≤105. The effects of solid-fluid conductivity ratio and diffusivity ratio on the transient induced flow characteristics are presented.
