Compound cooling technique, by combining more than two heat transfer enhancement techniques, is applied on the surfaces of the square channel. The rib with and without groove configurations are tested: transverse (90°), angled (45°), discrete, V-shaped, and Inverted-V shaped. Reynolds numbers in the current study are from 15000 to 37000. The rib height-to-hydraulic diameter ratio is 0.1, and the rib pitch-to-height ratio is 8. Results show that the 45° ribs and V-shaped rib with groove have the maximum heat transfer enhancement and thermal performance. V-shaped and inverted-V ribs have the maximum friction loss.
