Abstract
An experimental investigation was conducted to examine
convection heat transfer in a duct of rectangular cross-section,
having both a straight and curved flow passage. One
wall was kept at a constant temperature, with the opposite
wall being adiabatic. Heating of the air flowing in the
channel was accomplished through Joulean heating of a wall
composed of Temsheet.
The experiments were conducted for steady state in
Laminar and Transition flows. Development and progagation of
the Taylor-Gortler vortices was shown to enhance the heat
transfer rate in the curved section as compared to the
straight section.
