Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow in Rib-Roughened Rectangular Ducts

  • Chapter
Heat Transfer Enhancement of Heat Exchangers

Part of the book series: Nato ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 355))

Abstract

This lecture considers flow fields, friction factors, and local and average heat transfer coefficients in rib-roughened ducts for applications in compact heat exchangers and cooling systems in gas turbine systems. Details of the flow pattern and the influence of rib configuration, rib angle, rib pitch and height are discussed, and physical interpretations of the results are provided.
