AB - The aim of this paper is to present a theoretical analysis of a few  convection problems. The investigations were started from the geometry of a  classic muffle manufactured furnace. During this analytical study, different  methodologies have been carefully chosen in order to compare and evaluate the  effects of applying different analytical methods of the convection heat  transfer processes. In conclusion, even if there are available a lot of  analytical methods, natural convection in enclosed enclosures can be studied  correctly only with numerical analysis. Also, in this article is presented a  case study on natural convection application in a closed heated enclosure.
