Abstract
This study looked at how steady-state three-dimensional turbulent forced convection flow and heat transfer worked in a circular pipe with baffles fixed inside the pipe. The numerical study was performed for a Reynolds number increasing from 100,000 to 140,000, a Prandtl number of 0.71, and a baffle angle of 90°. The findings demonstrate that the Nusselt number and friction factor of the circular pipe with baffles are greater than the smooth circular pipe in this study (without baffles). As a general observation, the addition of baffles and the Reynolds number plays an important role in the flow and heat transfer characteristics. Comparing the data acquired with those obtained from a smooth duct serves to verify the correctness of the results obtained.
