Abstract: The author has investigated the aerothermal characteristics of round-edged ribs with a continuous slit. The experiments have been performed by mounting an array of ribs on the bottom wall inside a rectangular duct. Heat ...

Abstract: Matrix or latticework cooling has become a new area of research due to its advantage of providing a structural rigidity to the fragile structures like gas turbine blades, electronic components or circuitries, and compact ...

Abstract: Matrix cooling has opened new possibilities for enhancing the convective heat transfer coefficients without compromising upon the structural rigidity and the life of the gas turbine blade at elevated temperatures. However, ...

Abstract: This work is an experimental study of detailed aerothermal characteristics inside a duct carrying an array of solid and permeable pentagonal ribs with a parallel and inclined slit, mounted on the bottom wall. The rib ...

Abstract: Detailed heat transfer and flow field investigations behind a surfacemounted slitted trapezoidal rib have been performed using liquid crystal thermography (LCT) and particle image velocimetry (PIV). In the accomplished ...
