Abstract

In this paper two-dimensional steady state compressible, turbulent boundary layer equations along with the core are solved for a channel of rectangular cross-section. The behaviour of core velocity, core temperature, pressure profile, friction coefficient and heat flow for different mass flow rates and inlet pressures are analysed for combustion gases. The results are compared with experimental results obtained onzinc (zero induction channel) during the commissioning of themhd plant at Tiruchirapalli. The results match the theoretical predictions quite well.
