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.
