Experimental Study of Surface-Mounted Obstacle Effects on Heat Transfer Enhancement by Using Transient Liquid Crystal Thermograph

Effects of surface-mounted obstacles on the local heat transfer enhancement of a base plate are investigated by using transient liquid crystal thermograph technique. To explore the geometry effects of short obstacles, the height less than one hydraulic diameter (d), three cross-sectional shapes of obstacles, i.e., circular, square and diamond, with variations in number of obstacles, obstacle spacing, and free-stream Reynolds number are considered. The maximum number of the obstacles in tandem array is 3 and the spacing between obstacles is 1d, 2d, or 4d. The free-stream Reynolds number ranges from 2100 to 4200
