Résumé

An experimental investigation was carried out to measure module average heat transfer coefficients in uniformly heated rectangular channel with wall mounted porous baffles. Heat transfer coefficients and pressure loss for periodically fully developed flow and heat transfer were obtained for different types of porous medium with two window cut ratios and two baffle thickness. Reynolds number (Re) was varied from 20 000 to 50 000. To compare the effect of foam metal baffle, the data for conventional solid-type baffle were obtained. The experimental procedure was validated by comparing the data for the straight channel with no baffles with those in the literature. The use of porous baffles resulted in heat transfer enhancement as high as 300% compared to heat transfer in straight channel with no baffles. However, the heat transfer enhancement per unit increase in pumping power was less than one for the range of parameters studied in this work. Correlation equations were developed for heat transfer enhancement ratio and heat transfer enhancement per unit increase in pumping power in terms of Reynolds number.
