| Abstract: | This study investigates the turbulent heat transfer and friction in a trapezoidal channel with opposite walls roughened with transverse and v-shaped ribs. The roughened channel depicts the internal cooling passage of an aerofoil near the trailing edge. The various configurations investigated for this study are smooth channel, channel with 90° transverse ribs and channel with v-shaped ribs angled at 45°. The pitch-to-height ratio (P/e), rib height-to-hydraulic diameter ratio (e/D[subscript]h) and the aspect ratio (W/e) were maintained at 12, 0.1906 and 1, respectively. The configuration was tested for Reynolds number ranging from 7,000 to 40,000. The 45° rib was found to produce the maximum heat transfer and minimum pressure loss. |
