The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.7 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.4 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.6 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00072 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.43 SJR: 0.318 SNIP: 0.568 CiteScore™:: 3.5 H-Index: 28

ABSTRACT

The analysis of conjugate natural convection heat transfer in a square inclined enclosure filled with a porous medium and adjacent to the walls of finite thickness is investigated numerically using the finite volume method. While a uniform heat source is located on a part of the left inclined sidewall of the enclosure, the right inclined sidewall is maintained at a constant low temperature. The top and bottom walls are assumed adiabatic together with the remaining parts of the left inclined sidewall. Numerical computations are performed in wide ranges of the thermal conductivity ratio, enclosure inclination angle, dimensionless wall thickness, and dimensionless heat source length. The results are presented to give a parametric study showing the influence of these parameters on the flow and the heat transfer characteristics inside the enclosure. The results of the present work explain that the local Nusselt number of fluid phase increases when the thermal conductivity ratio increases, while the local Nusselt number along the heat source decreases as the thermal conductivity ratio increases. On the other hand, the average Nusselt number at the solid walls and fluids increases when the inclination angle increases from φ = 0° to φ = 45°, decreases slightly at φ = 60°, and decreases significantly when φ = 90°. Moreover, the fluid circulation intensity within the porous medium can be improved when considering a small wall thickness, high thermal conductivity ratio and when the heat source length increases. The results are compared with other published results and they found to be in good agreement.
