Effect of L/D and Yaw Angle on Heat Transfer from a Rectangular Cavity in Turbulent Subsonic Flow

An experimental investigation was performed to study and examine the effect of cavity depth and yaw angle on heat transfer inside a rectangular cavity with a heated floor in a subsonic turbulent flow. The cavity was characterized using acoustic, thermal liquid crystals, thermocouples, and input power measurements. The measurements are presented for seven yaw angles ranging from 0° to 90° in 15° increments for three cavity depths. The experimental data was compared to published acoustic and heat transfer data.
