Natural convection within a wedge-shaped enclosure has been studied by using finite different method. Radial surfaces of the wedge are isothermally hot and cold walls while circumferential surfaces are insulated walls. The Rayleigh numbers change from 10³ to 10^(5). The results show isotherms, streamlines and velocity profiles as well as heat transfer correlations. There is a wedge angle, which minimizes the mean Nusselt number.
