Experimental study has been conducted on flow and local heat/mass transfer characteristics in rectangular cross-sectioned serpentine channels with a sharp turn having an inclined partition wall. Detailed distributions of local Sherwood numbers are presented that are obtained on all the walls of the channels by the naphthalene sublimation method, and the influence of the inclination angle of the partition wall on the local heat/mass transfer are discussed. Then, the flow characteristics in the channels such as flow separation and reattachment around the turn section are examined based on the mean flow vectors obtained in the planes parallel to the long-side wall using the PIV.
