...J. He; L. Liu; A. M. Jacobi The impact of a vortex-generation technique for air-side heat-transfer improvement is experimentally investigated through full-scale wind-tunnel testing of a plain-fin round-tube heat exchanger under dry-surface conditions. Inspired by the formation locomotion of animals...

... design, the film holes are located at 0 deg and ±30 deg. Four different film cooling hole configurations are applied to each design: radial angle cylindrical holes, compound angle cylindrical holes, radial angle shaped holes, and compound angle shaped holes. Testing was done in a low speed wind tunnel...

... calorimetric wind tunnel, heat transfer and pressure drop are measured at air face velocities from 0.5 m/s to 2.8 m/s for dry- and wet-surface conditions. Parametric effects related to geometry and operating conditions on heat transfer and friction performance of the heat exchangers are explored. Significant...

...J. Bons, Associate Professor The application of Reynolds analogy 2 St / c f ≅ 1 for turbine flows is critically evaluated using experimental data collected in a low-speed wind tunnel. Independent measurements of St and c f over a wide variety of test conditions permit assessments of the variation...

...Vikrant Saxena; Srinath V. Ekkad A detailed investigation on the effect of squealer geometries on the blade tip leakage flow and associated heat transfer is presented for a scaled up high pressure turbine blade in a low-speed wind tunnel facility. The linear cascade is made of four blades...

.... The experimental apparatus comprises a wind tunnel, a naphthalene casting facility and a sublimation depth measurement system. Mass transfer data are compared with those of heat transfer which are obtained using thermocouples in the constant heat flux boundary condition, and analogy between heat and mass transfer...

...Aung N. Oo; Chan Y. Ching An experimental study has been performed to investigate the effect of freestream vortical structures and vorticity on stagnation region heat transfer. A heat transfer model with a cylindrical leading edge was tested in a wind tunnel at Reynolds numbers ranging from 67,750...
