Abstract In this research work an experimental study of conjugate heat transfer within an air filled bottom-heated vertical enclosure is conducted. The enclosure consists of two concentric cylinders with inner cylinder being shorter and open at the top. The study is important with respect to the centrifuge machine used in the process industry. Eighteen different experiments are performed by varying the bottom disc central temperature between 353 and 433 K, using three different materials (aluminum, mild steel and stainless steel) of the inner cylinder and two different diameter outer cylinders of mild steel. This study unfolds the temperature, material and geometric effects of bottom disc, inner cylinder and outer cylinder respectively on thermal convection in the enclosure. Generally, a uniform temperature is required in such enclosures. A more uniform axial and radial temperature is observed in the enclosure by using aluminum inner cylinder within a temperature range of 353–433 K of the botto
