The effects of lateral-flow ejection pin shapes (square, diamond, and circular), and flow Reynolds number (6000<Re<40,000) on the endwall heat transfer and pressure drop for turbulent flow through a pin-fin trapezoidal duct are studied experimentally. A staggered pin array of five rows and five columns is inserted in the trapezoidal duct, with the same spacings between the pins in the streamwise and spanwise directions: Three different-shaped pins of length from span the distance between two endwalls of the trapezoidal duct. Results reveal that the pin-fin trapezoidal duct with lateral-flow rate of has a local minimum endwall-averaged Nusselt number and Euler number for all pin shapes investigated. The trapezoidal duct of lateral outlet flow only (ε=1.0) has the highest endwall heat transfer and pressure drop. Moreover, the square pin results in a better heat transfer enhancement than the diamond pin, and subsequently than the circular pin. Finally, taking account of the lateral-flow rate and the flow Reynolds number, the work develops correlations of the endwall-averaged heat transfer with three different pin shapes.
