The effect of wall heat flux ratio on the local heat transfer augmentation in a square channel with two opposite in-line ribbed walls was investigated for Reynolds numbers from 15,000 to 80,000. The square channel composed of ten isolated copper sections has a length-to-hydraulic diameter ratio (L/D) of 20. The rib height-to-hydraulic diameter ratio (e/D) is 0.0625 and the rib pitch-to-height ratio (P/e) equals 10. Six ribbed side to smooth side wall heat flux ratios (Case 1 - q″r1/q″s = q″r2/q″s = 1; Case 2 - q″r1/q″s = q″r2/q″s = 3; Case 3 - q″r1/q″s = q″r2/q″s = 6; Case 4 - q″r1/q″s = 6 and q″r2/q″s = 4; Case 5 - q″r1/q″s = q″r2/q″s = ∞ and Case 6 - q″r1/q″s = ∞ and q″r2/q″s = 0) were studied for four rib orientations (90° rib, 60° parallel rib, 60° crossed rib, and 60° ∨-shaped rib). The results show that the ribbed side wall heat transfer augmentation increases with increasing ribbed side to smooth side wall heat flux ratios, but the reverse is true for the smooth side wall heat transfer augmentation. The average heat transfer augmentation of the ribbed side and smooth side wall decreases slightly with increasing wall heat flux ratios. Two ribbed side wall heating (Case 5 - q″r1/q″s = q″r2/q″s = ∞) provides a higher ribbed-side-wall heat transfer augmentation than the four-wall uniform heating (Case 1 - q″r1/q″s = q″r2/q″s = 1). The effect of wall heat flux ratio reduces with increasing Reynolds numbers. The results also indicate that the 60° ∨-shaped rib and 60° parallel rib perform better than the 60° crossed rib and 90° rib, regardless of wall heat flux ratio and Reynolds number.

A problem involved in the increase of the turbine inlet temperature of gas turbine engine is the failure of material because of excessive thermal stresses. This requires cooling methods to withstand the increase of the inlet temperature. Rib turbulators are often used in the mid-section of internal cooling ducts to augment the heat transfer from blade wall to the coolant. This study numerically investigates side-wall heat transfer of a rectangular passage with the leading/trailing walls being roughened by staggered ribs whose length is less than the passage width. Such a passage corresponds to the internal cooling passage near the leading edge of a turbine blade. The inlet Reynolds number is ranging from 12,000 to 60,000. The detailed 3D fluid flow and heat transfer over the side-wall are presented. The overall performances of several ribbed passages are evaluated and compared. It is found that the side-wall heat transfer coefficients of the passage with truncated (continuous) ribs on opposite walls are about 20%–27% (28%–43%) higher than those of a passage without ribs, while the pressure loss could be reduced compared to a passage with continuous ribs. It is suggested that the usage of truncated ribs is a suitable way to augment the side-wall heat transfer and improve the flow structure near the leading edge.

In order to achieve higher thermal efficiency and power output, the gas turbine inlet temperature of gas turbine engine is continuously increased. However, the increasing temperature may exceed the melting point of the blade material. Rib turbulators are often used in the midsection of internal cooling ducts to augment the heat transfer from blade wall to the coolant. This study uses computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to investigate side-wall heat transfer of a rectangular passage with the leading/trailing walls being roughened by continuous or truncated ribs. The inlet Reynolds number is ranging from 12,000 to 60,000. The detailed three dimensional (3D) fluid flow and heat transfer over the side-wall are presented. The overall performances of ribbed passages are compared. It is suggested that the usage of truncated ribs is a suitable way to augment the side-wall heat transfer and improve the flow structure near the leading edge especially under the critical limitation of pressure drop.
