摘要
Local entropy generation due to natural convection from a heated horizontal isothermal cylinder in oil was investigated numerically. The effect of viscous dissipation on entropy generation profiles was studied over a wide range of Rayleigh and Brinkman numbers. The results showed that viscous dissipation had minimal effect on entropy generation even when using a highly viscous oil. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd
