The present study examines the augmentation in heat transfer and friction in a flow through solar air heater duct with discretized broken V-rib roughness. The experimental outcomes pertaining to Reynolds number from 3000 to 17,000, relative gap position (s′/s) from 0.2 to 0.8, relative staggered rib position (p′/p) from 0.2 to 0.8 have been presented and discussed. Discretized broken V-rib roughness brought out considerable enhancement in heat transfer rates over V-rib roughness and smooth duct. Effective efficiency of discretized broken V-rib roughened solar air heater is estimated and geometrical parameters of roughness are optimized with regard to temperature rise parameter and insolation.

This paper reports the results of an experimental investigation of the combined effect of Coriolis and buoyancy forces enforced convection in a circular tube that rotates about an axis orthogonal to its centerline. The experiment has been deliberately designed to minimize the effect of circumferential conduction in the tube walls by using material of relatively low thermal conductivity. A new correlating parameter for uncoupling the effect of Coriolis forces from centripetal buoyancy is proposed for the trailing and leading edges of the tube. It is demonstrated that enhanced heat transfer on the trailing edge occurs as a result of rotation. On the leading edge significant reductions in heat transfer compared to the zero rotation case can occur, but with possible recovery at high rotational speeds.
