Laminar-mixed convection of a dielectric fluid contained in a two-dimensional enclosure is investigated in the present paper. Within the enclosure discrete heat sources of a constant heat flux are flush-mounted on a vertical wall. Forced flow conditions are imposed by placing a propeller at different locations within the enclosure. The analysis is performed for a wide range of heat fluxes, from the order of 10,000 to 100,000 W/m2, way in the trend of current computer chips, such as the Pentium IV, and the future ones. Emphasis is placed on the influence of the governing parameters, such as buoyancy parameters, the aspect ratio of the enclosure, and location of the propeller. The flow and temperature fields are obtained as part of the solution. © 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
