Abstract: Heat transfer from two cam shape cylinder in side-byside
arrangement had been studied numerically.
The transverse gap between the centers of cylinders (T) is allowed
to vary to change the pitch ratio (T/Deq). The equivalent diameter of
the cylinder (Deq) is 27.6 mm and pitch ratio varies in range of
1≤T/Deq≤3. The Reynolds numbers based on equivalent circular
cylinder are within 50≤ Reeq≤150. Results show that Nusselt number
of cylinders increases about 1 to 36 percent when pitch ratio
increases from 1 to 3.
