“…Based on comparison observation on the various models, the error is within 5% 7 and the deficiency does not affect the main observation in their study. The persistent error is also reported by Liu et al 18 and Kim et al 19 using various turbulence models. However to conclude which model is more accurate is immaterial in this case due to different rib surfaces produce varying form of flow characteristics, which no single model may cater an accurate solution.…”

“…The distribution of the local heat transfer coefficient also changed as a result of the relocation of flow reattachments. 19 Viswanathan and Tafti 12 also observed that the rotation of the channel with internal ribs could improve the heat transfer augmentation on the channel walls, where the corner of the rib shows high heat transfer caused by impingement of secondary flow, which is generated from Coriolis effect on mean shear or flow under exertion of system rotation.…”

A multi-faceted vertical rib has been numerically investigated using the internal flow of rib in a rectangular channel method under turbulent flow for 17,000 < Re < 27,000. The vertical rib that can be encountered inside porous media design often creates a persisting issue of high-pressure drop. The challenge frequently intensifies, mainly when a two-phase state heat transfer is introduced inside the porous media. The vertical multi-faceted rib models the various surfaces often encountered inside the porous media. The effect of blockage ratio on the flow characteristics and thermal performance is observed. The results are compared to the more conventional circular rib, equal in surface area to the multi-faceted rib. The multi-faceted rib yields a higher average Nusselt number of approximately 33% and contributes to the higher average Nusselt number of the channel. The multi-faceted rib channel has a better thermal performance factor, in average of approximately 13% higher and lower pressure drop than the circular rib channel. The advantage of the multi-faceted rib is attributed to, surprisingly, the poor flow attachment on the rib surface, which results in a low Cf/ f ratio. Consequently, the multi-faceted rib suffers from very low velocity on the downstream rib surface. Ultimately, the spatial effect of the rib inside the square channel can be evaluated using the Cf/ f ratio, which takes into account the rib surface and channel walls. In the quasi two-phase state, the circular rib is observed to provide a more favorable condition for latent heat transfer under extreme condition investigated.

In this paper an experimental and numerical analysis has been conducted to study the effect of heat transfer and filed flow of two-phase flow (water and air) through a rectangular ribbed channel. The study has involved the several values of heat flux (120,140,160 Watts), air and water superficial velocity (1.096, 1.425, 1.644, 1.864, and 2.193 m/s) and (0.0421, 0.0842, and 0.1474 m/s), respectively. The distribution of temperature along the channel was photographed using thermal camera and compared with numerical results . The experimental test system was fabricated of vertical rectangular channel with cross section of (0.08m × 0.03m) and a length (0.7 m) to analyze the behavior of the mixture (water-air) over the heated plate (semi-circle ribs ). The computational fluid dynamics CFD software was utilized to simulate the governing equations with initial and boundary conditions. Results found that the ribbed channel give the high heat transfer rate compared to the smooth channel. The percentage deviation between the experimental and numerical data is (1.0% -6.0% ). The results proved that the flow is growing to become turbulent, eddies develop about the heated plate (rib), the temperature at the outlet decreases and heat transfer coefficient improved by adding ribs, it also improved when the velocities of the flow increased.

This paper investigates numerically and experimentally heat transfer forced convective two-phase flow (i.e. air and water) over a rectangular ribbed channel with a vertical orientation. Three distinct rib–groove shapes have been examined. Ribs - groove shapes are; Triangle, Trapezoid, and Semi-Trapezoid ribs-groove. The present study has been performed with continuous heat flux through range of water and air superficial inlet velocity values between 0.105 – 0.316m/s, and 0.263 – 1.320 m/s, respectively. Continuity, momentum and energy calculations have been formulated using the Finite Volume Approach (FVM). Results indicate that the triangle rib-groove has the high heat transfer coefficient and lower temperature difference than other cases against a different number of Reynolds. The experimental data has been compared to numerical results for ribs –grooved channel with deviation of about 1.0% - 7.5%. The channel fitted with triangle ribs shows the highest heat transfer, which is about 59% higher than the smooth channel; 56% for trapezoidal rib, and 44% for channel fitted by semi-trapezoidal rib. Finally, the triangle rib-groove gives a better heat transfer improvement value in comparison with trapezoidal and semi trapezoidal rib-groove channel at constant pumping power.
