| Popis: | The heat transfer rate from the hot surface to the coolant flow increases by placing the ribs on the surface of the coolant flow passage. The effect of turbulence promoters with different angle of attack and with a fixed tapered angle on the heat transfer characteristics in a rectangular stationary duct is considered for this study. Here turbulence promoters increase the heat transfer in the duct. The examination has been conducted on the rectangular smooth duct and rectangular duct with inverted V-shaped ribs of a different angle of attack. The rib angle attack of 45º, 60º, 90º and tapered angle 20º (fixed) on the top surface of the rib are considered. The rib blockage ratio and pitch ratio are 0.0553 and 10 respectively. The heat transfer characteristics are compared with Reynolds number of 6000. The heat transfer and computational flow analysis are conducted by k-epsilon turbulence model in ANSYS FLUENT. The tapered angled cross-sectional inverted V-shaped ribs of 60º shown high average heat transfer coefficients among the 45º, 60º and 90º smooth duct. |
