The results indicated that the flow separation occurred particularly on the first block and after the last blocks. The flow separation and block thickness resulted in higher turbulence and heat transfer, particularly in laminar flow. The average Stanton number increased as high as 125% in laminar, 80% in transitional, and 50% in turbulent flows above those of flat plate values. A new empirical equation indicated a good agreement with the experimental and numerical results.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessThermodynamicsEngineeringBlocked surfaceFlow separationHeat transferTurbulent intensityTurbulent-flow3-dimensional blocks2-dimensional ribsConvective flowParallel platesChannelEnhancementObstaclesFlow separationFlow velocityLaminar flowEmpirical equationsFlat plateFlow and heat transferHeat transfer and flowsNumerical resultsStanton numbersTurbulent intensitiesHeat transferArticle0003980575000022-s2.0-84995427087192204303ThermodynamicsEngineering, mechanicalReynolds Number; Mixed Convection; Heat Transfer Enhancement
