The purpose of the study is to investigate thermosolutal convection due to the combined temperature and concentration gradients in an square enclosure. The enclosure consists of adiabatic horizontal wall and differentially heated vertical walls, but it also contains an obstacle block at different locations .The aim of the study is to delineate the effect of such a block and inclination angle on the flow fields. In order to visualize the flow, the shadowgraph technique is used. Electrical measurements will be used to obtain mass transfer rates and to infer a Sherwood number. To understand the flow structure, the temperature distribution and concentration distribution are investigated. Finally, the correlations between Sherwood number and solutal concentration Grashof number and thermal Grashof number are also needed to be analyzed.
