Abstract
This paper describes an experimental study of heat transfer in a channel behind a backward-facing step in the presence of a disturbance in front of it in the form of a single rib in the range of the Reynolds numbers Re = 5000-15 000. The influence of the rib position and height on heat transfer intensity behind the backward-facing step is investigated. It is shown that reattachment of the flow disturbed by the obstacle intensifies the heat transfer on the surface behind the backward-facing step.
