Heat (mass) transfer in a diagonally oriented rotating two-pass channel with rib-roughened walls
Naphthalene sublimation experiments have been conducted to examine the effects of channel orientation, rotational Coriolis force, ad a sharp turn, on the local heat (mass) transfer distributions in a two-pass square channel with rib-roughened walls, rotating about a perpendicular axis. The test channel was oriented so that the direction of rotation was perpendicular or at a 45 deg angle to the leading and trailing walls. In the two straight passes of the test channel, there were parallel 90 or 60 deg ribs on the leading and trailing walls. The test channel modeled serpentine cooling passages in modern gas turbine blades. The results showed that the heat (mass) transfer was very low on the leading wall of the first pass when the channel was oriented with the rotating direction normal to the leading and trailing walls. There were regions of very low heat (mass) transfer on both the leading and trailing walls in the turn, especially on the trailing wall in the turn when the channel with transverse ribs was oriented diagonally. For the given diagonal channel orientation, rotational Coriolis forces caused the leading and trailing wall heat (mass) transfer to be high near the outer edges of the walls in the channel with transverse ribs; rotation-induced secondary flows dominated near wall rib-induced secondary flows in the channel with angled ribs, since the heat (mass) transfer was generally higher near the outer edges of the walls than near the inner edges in the first and second straight passes.
