Abstract:
1. A passageway through which fluid flows in a first direction, said passageway comprising: a plurality of trip strips positioned within the passageway for creating turbulence within a plurality of triangularly shaped regions within said passageway and for amplifying said turbulence so that a full turbulence is created within each said triangularly shaped region within said region; adjacent ones of said trip strips being oriented to converge towards each other at a first end to form an apex portion of one of said triangularly shaped regions adjacent a first wall of said passageway and to form two of said side walls of said one of said triangularly shaped regions in which said full turbulence is created; and said apex portion being at a right angle with respect to said first direction and having a first opening through which said fluid enters said one triangularly shaped region and forms two fluid cells which unite into a single fluid cell as more fluid enters said opening and which single fluid cell spreads throughout the one triangularly shaped region and occupies most of the area of the one triangularly shaped region resulting in full turbulence within said one triangularly shaped region.
