Investigation on flow and heat transfer characteristics in rectangular channel with drop-shaped pin fins

The flow and heat transfer characteristics inside a rectangular channel embedded with pin fins were numerically and experimentally investigated. Several differently shaped pin fins (i.e., circular, elliptical, and drop-shaped) with the same cross-sectional areas were compared in a staggered arrangem...
