This work was conducted as a preliminary investigation into the existence and strength of a synergistic interaction between boundary-layer flow acceleration and surface roughness as a heat transfer enhancement mechanism for protruding discretely-heated strips. A series of tests was conducted with discretely-heated, protruding strips in a two-dimensional turbulent boundary layer. Three heating arrangements were used: flush-mounted smooth, protruding smooth, and protruding rough. Acceleration strengths ranged from zero up to one-half the smooth-wall relaminarization threshold. For the smooth-flush arrangement, the Stanton numbers decreased by up to 16% with increasing acceleration strength. For the smooth-protruding arrangement, the Stanton numbers remain almost constant over all acceleration strengths. For the rough-protruding arrangement, the Stanton numbers increase by up to 7% with increasing acceleration strength.
