AB - In the present study, the heat transfer enhancement of a bundle of  flush-mounted ribbons placed on the floor of a rectangular duct was  investigated experimentally. The flush-mounted ribbons act as heat sources  and the cooling happens with air. The air flow was two-dimensional, steady,  viscous and incompressible under either laminar (500 ≤ ReDh < 2000) and  turbulent (2000 ≤ Re Dh ≤ 4500) conditions. The hydrodynamics and heat  transfer behavior of the air flow was studied by means of an active method  with application of corona wind. The state of the art of this work revolves  around an experimental investigation of an EHD1 active method and heat  transfer enhancement from the surfaces of the flush- mounted ribbons. Due to  the intricacies of the required experiment, a special apparatus needed to be  designed and constructed.
