A copper circular<br>cylinder heater of diameter 0.015m and length 0.2m is heated electrically; it is located in<br>different positions in X and Y direction within the test section. The forced convection heat<br>transfer is simulated using the ANSYS program (Fluent). The results showed that the surface<br>temperature distribution of the cylinder has the same trends for the different locations within<br>the test section. The average Nusselt number increases with Reynolds number and heat flux.<br>Also, the results show that the use of porous material improves heat transfer by 67.4%. The<br>maximum percentage deviation between the experimental and theoretical results is 1.622%.<br>Moreover, experimental correlations were introduced and comparison was performed<br>between the present results with the previous studies and it gives a good agreement.</span> </p>}, number={2}, journal={THE IRAQI JOURNAL FOR MECHANICAL AND MATERIALS ENGINEERING}, author={Aamer, Abeer and Abd-hameed, suhad}, year={2020}, month={Jun.}, pages={164–179} }
