The purpose of this study is to investigate the thermal and hydrodynamic characteristics of air flowing in tubes with various inserts of grooved plate. Inserts of grooved plate with a variety of attack angles (a = 0°, 45° and 90°) has been studied in laminar and turbulent flow. Plate inserts are installed inside the tube intended to improve the heat transfer due to the mixing of the fluid. Numerical simulation of three-dimensional flow set as a model in the direction of fluid flow. The working fluid in the tube is cold, whereas hot wall temperature is kept constant. The results showed that the grooved plate inserts increases the heat transfer in the tube. For laminar flow, the highest heat transfer enhancement is obtained at the grooved plate inserts α = 45° i.e. from 4.46 to 20.34% with an increase in friction factor of 172.19 to 204.36%. As for the turbulent flow, the highest heat transfer improvement is found in a grooved plate inserts with α = 45° i.e. from 38.67 to 56.1% with an increase in friction factor of 183.5 to 262.29%.

An experimental and numerical investigation is performed to study the effect of dimple and protrusion geometry on the heat transfer enhancement and the friction factor of surfaces with dimples and protrusions subjected to turbulent flow. The parameters used to compare the spherical dimples and protrusions are Nusselt Number, friction factor, and flow pattern. These parameters are obtained for a Reynolds number of 10500-60900. The spherical dimple results showed the greater heat transfer, which is about 6.97% higher and pressure loss which is 5.07% lower than the spherical protrusion. The realistic heat transfer augmentation capabilities of channels with dimples and protrusions can be studied from the experimental results. The comparison is made with respect to the smooth rectangular channel under the same flow and thermal boundary conditions. The numerical analysis is performed which shows the different vortex flow structures of the spherical dimples and protrusions channel.
