Numerical Study of Forced Convection in Wavy and Diverged-Converged Ducts
Engineering and Technology Journal,
2009, Volume 27, Issue 7, Pages 1385-1403
Abstract
A three-dimensional study of developing fluid flow and heat transfer throughwavy and diverged-converged ducts were studied numerically for a Prandlt number 0.7
and 5.85 and compared with flow through corresponding straight duct. The Navier-
Stokes and energy equations are solved by using control finite volume method.
Development of the Nusselt number in wavy and diverged-converged ducts are
presented for different flow rates (50
