Abstract A theoretical analysis of two-dimensional heat transfer in inclined rectangular cells with the effect of lateral walls is studied. The lower and upper plates are heated and cooled, respectively, to maintain constant surface temperatures. Heat conduction along the lateral walls and radiation among cell surfaces are also considered. An iterative finite-difference scheme is employed to solve the governing equations in the flow field and the temperature distribution involving the radiative, conductive and conductive heat transfer on the lateral walls. The parameters studied are a Parndtl number (Pr) of 0.7, a Stark number (S) of 0.25, aspect ratios (b) between 0.25 and 2.0, conduction ratios (C) between 0.015 and 143, angles of inclination (ϕ) between 10° and 35°, and Rayleigh numbers (Ra) up to 105. Comparisons with experimental data for the case of adiabatic walls have been made with satisfactory agreement.
