Scientists and engineers give much attention for convective fluid flow around the baffles because of its wide application in different types of heat exchangers used in industries. Analysis of the velocity profiles of the turbulent flow and convection flow parameters have been studied for a horizontal rectangular asymmetric diffuser, the bottom wall of which is being heated. Single and double baffles of equal height are used in the experiments. The experimental study has been carried out at Reynolds numbers of 3.594x104 3.986x104 and 5.371x104 with base plate temperatures of 323K and 343K respectively. Skin friction coefficient along the walls has been calculated. The variation of local Nusselt number along the upper wall is observed carefully. The effort is made to establish some new empirical relationships between Coefficient of skin friction and Nusselt number with Reynolds number The size of recirculation bubble is also calculated.Keywords
