Numerical simulations were performed using finite volume method with SST k-w turbulence model. The duct and nozzle Reynolds number are varied in the range 10000 to 50000 and 6000 to 12000, respectively. The heat transfer enhancements with and without cross-flow effects have also been compared. It has been shown that the heat transfer rate with cross-flow is found to be much higher than that without cross-flow. Also, the effect of dimples on the heated surface on heat transfer was investigated. The heat transfer is found to be more in the presence of dimpled surface than a plane surface.
