Numerical study of the influence of rib orientation on heat transfer enhancement in two-pass ribbed rectangular channel

Strong secondary flow generated by ribbed channel and U-shaped bend is the key for forced convection performance and energy dissipation in U-shaped cooling passage. This investigation studies the coupling of nine different rib orientation and the 180-degree bend on overall friction loss and forced c...
