Abstract

The heat transfer characteristics of flow through two inclined wire-mesh baffles in a rectangular channel were investigated experimentally with varying the mesh number of wire screens and inclination angle of the baffles. Two different types of wire meshes such as dutch and plain weaves, were used in this experiment. Three kinds of baffle plates with different mesh specifications in the dutch weave and four different kinds in the plain weave were manufactured. Baffles were mounted on bottom wall with varied angles of inclination. Reynolds number was varied from 23,000 to 57,000. It is found that the placement of inclined wire-mesh baffles in the channel affects the heat transfer characteristics by combining both jet impingement and flow disturbance. The wire screen modified the flow structure leading to a change in the heat transfer characteristics. The results show that the baffle plate with the most number of mesh (type SA) has the highest heat transfer rate.
