AB - In this study, the heat transfer enhancement on semi circular ribs  established on the floor of rectangular duct is investigated. These ribs  were used as heat sources and cooling of them has been achieved with EHD1  active method by experimental procedure. The flow was three dimensional,  steady, viscous and incompressible with regimes of both laminar and  turbulent (500≤ReDh≤4500). The hydrodynamics and heat transfer behavior of the air flow  was studied by EHD active method with application of corona wind. The aim of  this work is application of EHD active method for convective heat transfer  enhancement. In this method, two arrangements of wire electrodes have been  achieved. The results show that in same Reynolds numbers and voltages of  wire electrodes, the heat transfer enhancement was increase in arrangement 1  than arrangement 2.
