In this experiment, heat transfer from six cylinders heated to the airflow was improved by attaching rectangular winglet vortex generators (RWVGs) to a plate in a rectangular channel. The installation aimed to increase the value of the thermal-hydraulic performance evaluation criteria in the line. This experimental study was carried out by varying the fluid flow velocity from 0.4 m/s to 2 m/s with an interval of 0.2 m/s in the channel. Three pairs of VGs were arranged in both in-line and staggered configurations. The experimental results show that the thermal-hydraulic performance evaluation criteria for three pairs of vortex generators in the staggered configuration was 15.17% higher than the baseline, while the thermal-hydraulic performance of the in-line arrangement was 1.54% higher than the staggered one.</p>}, number={3}, journal={European Journal of Engineering and Technology Research}, author={Heriyani, Oktarina and Djaeni, Mohamad and Syaiful, .}, year={2021}, month={Apr.}, pages={150–153} }
