Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to bring new insights into the flow phenomena in an annular-conical passage, which—as previously disclosed experimentally—forms a toroidal-vortex street. The ...

Abstract: The objective of this study was to investigate, through experiments, the combined effects of a sharp 180 deg turn and rib patterns on the pressure drop performance and distributions of the ...

Abstract: Heat transfer characteristics of a three-pass serpentine flow passage with rotation are experimentally studied. The walls of the square flow passage are plated with thin stainless-steel foils ...
