The effect of channel convergence on heat transfer in a passage with short pin fins
Abstract
Array averaged heat transfer coefficients were obtained for two configurations of short pin fins in a converging channel and for two flat plate configurations in a converging channel. The effect of flow acceleration due to channel convergence and the effect of varying pin length on the heat transfer was determined. Results are presented in the form of Nusselt number versus Reynolds number for the four geometries tested.
