We have investigated the intensification of the heat transfer 
from a cylinder in an oil medium due to the setting of arched guide 
plates on the basis of the numerical solution of the Navier<196>Stokes 
and energy equations with the help of multiblock computer-aided technologies 
realized in the VP<$E{ italic {2 ^/^ 3}}> package. Calculations have 
been made for the laminar nonstationary cross flow around a heated 
cylinder in a viscous medium with a strong temperature dependence 
of its thermophysical characteristics. Comparison has been made between 
the numerical forecasts of the drag, local heat transfer, thermohydraulic 
efficiency, and total Nusselt number for a cylinder with plates and 
for a single cylinder.
