Assit. Prof. Amer J. Sharif, lecturer at the Renewable Energy Research Center - University of Anbar, published a scientific article with a researcher in an international journal “International Communications in Heat and Mass Transfer” has Scopus index Q1 with Impact Factor=5.683 titled:

“Multi-objective optimum design of porous triangular chamber using RSM”

This study conducted due to the wide use of this subject in nature and thermal industrial systems, such as in a valley. Natural convection in a chamber is numerically simulated in two dimensions using the Finite Volume Method. A wide range of Rayleigh numbers (Ra) from 102 to 5 × 103 is examined for various inclination angles (θ), heater lengths (Lh) and heater locations (Ph). It is found that the plume like patterns for the isotherms occur at Ra = 2.5 × 103, with two rotating large vortices breaking into multi smaller vortices as the length of the heater is increased. Additionally, for an inclination angle of 0°, the Nusselt number records a higher value nearly 26% compared to θ = 180° at the highest Ra. Finally, Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is used to show that porosity (ε), aspect ratio (L/H), and Ra have a major effect on hydrothermal efficiency, which is almost equal to 1.27 at the minimum porosity (ε), the maximum values of aspect ratio (L/H) and Ra with higher desirability. This study offers a novel approach to designing an isosceles porous triangular-shaped chamber as well as practical advice.
