Turbine inlet air temperatures are extremely high, which can result in blade material damage. As a result, cooling the turbine blades is required, and a variety of cooling techniques have been introduced. The majority of the previous research on pin fins has focused on circular fins using a wedge duct to apply a constant temperature and uniform heat flux to the end wall and pin fin surfaces. The present study compares seven oblong pin-fins to seven circular pin fins in a wedge duct with a Reynolds number range of 10,000–50,000 and a constant heat flux (surface) of 3280 W/m 2  applied to the endwall and surfaces of the oblong pin fin. The results indicate that the friction factor for oblong fins is 14% lower than for circular pin fins. The thermal performance factor is increased by 11.4%. The thermal performance factor can be improved by using oblong pin fins with higher Reynolds numbers.
