Abstract
Experiments to determine heat transfer coefficients and friction factors are conducted on a stationary transverse parallel wire-screen rib roughened rectangular channel. The test section consists of 198 mm (W) x 40 mm (H) x 712 mm (L). The channel has the aspect ratio of 4.95 and hydraulic diameter of $D_h$=6.66 cm. Four wire screen ribs and a solid rib are used. 0.1 mm-thick-stainless steel foil heaters and thermocouples (T type) are used to measure the heat transfer coefficients. Reynolds numbers studied range from 20,000 to 60,000. The wire-screen rib height (e) to hydraulic diameter ($D_h$) ratio ($e/D_h$) is 0.075; spacing (p) to height ratio (p/e) is 10. Results indicate that the solid rib produces the greatest Nusselt number and friction factor.
