Heat Transfer Enhancement inside Rectangular Channel by Means of Vortex Generated by Perforated Concave Rectangular Winglets

Single ! phase heat transfer enhancement in a curved \ rectangular channel subjected to concave heating

Experiments were performed to ascertain the single!phase heat transfer enhancement provided by streamwise curva! ture[ Curved and straight rectangular ~ow channels were fabricated with identical 4[9×1[4 mm cross!sections and 090[5 mm heated lengths in which heat was applied to a 21[2 mm radius concave wall in the curved channel and a side wall in the straight[ Reynolds number ranged from 8999 t...

Single and Two-Phase Heat Transfer Enhancement Using Longitudinal Vortex Generator in Narrow Rectangular Channel

Investigation of Laminar Pulsating Nanofluid Flow and Heat Transfer in a Rectangular Channel

In this study, two-dimensional pulsating unsteady flow of nanofluid through a rectangular channel with isothermal walls is investigated numerically. The set of resultant algebraic equations is solved simultaneously using SIMPLE algorithm to obtain the velocity and pressure distribution within the channel. The effects of several parameters, such as volume fraction of different nanoparticles, Rey...

Investigation of Heat Transfer in Rectangular Microchannels

An experimental investigation was conducted to explore the validity of classical correlations based on conventionalsized channels for predicting the thermal behavior in single-phase flow through rectangular microchannels. The microchannels considered ranged in width from 194 lm to 534 lm, with the channel depth being nominally five times the width in each case. Each test piece was made of coppe...

Average Heat Transfer Coefficient in Rectangular Ducts with Baffle Blockages

An experimental investigation was conducted to study the average and the fully-developed heat (mass) transfer coefficients in a rectangular smooth duct and a duct with repeated-baffle blockages. The focus of attention in this work is the conventional correlation Nu / Nufd 1 + C / ( X / D ) for the average heat transfer coefficient. It was shown that for relatively short ducts, the coefficient C...
