Reynolds number, on flow structures variation has been studied from CFD simulations. Subsequently, the performance indexes, i.e. heat transfer in terms of Nusselt
number, pumping power in terms of friction factor, and effectiveness in terms of thermohydraulic performance, have been determined. The proposed innovative geometry
(Fig. 6.1), that can produce right angle triangular, square and trapezium ribs, has been
optimized using Taguchi method, and then the order of most influential parameters
on performance indexes has been assessed.
