The 2nd order response surface method (RSM) has been carried out to get optimum thermal design for enhanced heat transfer on square channel with bleed holes. The RSM was used as an optimization technique with Reynolds-averaged navier-stokes equation. Turbulence model for heat transfer analysis used RNG k-epsilon model. The wall function used enhanced wall function. Numerical local heat transfer coefficients were similar to the experimental tendency. Two design variables such as attack angle of rib (${\alpha}$), rib pitch-to-rib height ratio (p/e) were chosen. Operation condition considered bleeding ratio per bleed hole ($BR_{hole}$). A response surface were constructed by the design variables and operation condition. As a result, adjusted $R^2$ was more than 0.9. Optimization results of various objective function were similar to heat transfer in channel with and without bleed flow. But friction factor was lower than channel without bleed flow.

In the present study, the second order response surface method (RSM) is carried out to get optimum thermal design for enhancing heat transfer in a square channel with bleed flow. The RSM is used as an optimization technique. To calculate the heat transfer, RNG k-epsilon model and enhanced wall function are used. To design optimum rib turbulators, two design variables such as attack angle of rib $({\alpha})$ and rib pitch-to-rib height ratio (p/e) are optimized. In these analyses, the channel inlet Reynolds number was fixed at 10,000 in both non-bleeding and bleeding cases. The response surfaces of two design variables are constructed in cases with and without bleed flow. As a result, the optimum (or highest) heat transfer values are almost the same in ranges of two cases with and without bleed flow. However, the friction losses in the case with bleed flow are lower than those without bleed flow.

Local heat/mass transfer and friction loss in a square duct roughened with various types of continuous and discrete rib turbulators are investigated. The combined effects of the gap flows of the discrete ribs and the secondary flows are examined for the purpose of the reduction of thermally weak regions and the promotion of the uniformity of heat/mass transfer distributions as well as the ;augmentation of average heat/mass transfer. The rib-to-rib pitch to the rib height ratio (p/e) of 8 and the rib angles of 90° and 60° are selected with e/D$\_$h/=0.08. The vortical structure of the secondary flows induced by the parallel angled arrays are quite distinct from that induced by the cross angled arrays. This distinction influences on heat/mass transfer and friction loss in all the tested cases. The gap flows of the discrete ribs reduce the strength of the secondary flows but promote local turbulence and flow mixing. Consequently, the angled discrete ribs with the small gaps provide a more uniform heat/mass transfer distribution sustaining high average heat/mass transfer.
