Zusammenfassung:This paper presents a numerical study of laminar, fully developed mixed convection in vertical eccentric annular duets. The equations governing the velocity and temperature are solved on a body-conforming grid by using a finite-volume technique. The effects of radius ratio, eccentricity, and Rayleigh number on the friction factor and the Nusselt number are discussed. The buoyancy forces significantly increase both friction and heat transfer. The effect of buoyancy is stronger for configuration with larger eccentricities.
