A transient method of measuring the local heat transfer under an array of impinging jets has been developed. The use of a temperature-sensitive coating consisting of three encapsulated thermochromic liquid crystal materials has allowed the calculation of both the local adiabatic wall temperature and the local heat transfer coefficient over the complete surface of the target plate. The influence of the temperature of the plate through which the impingement gas flows on the target plate heat transfer has been quantified. Results are presented for a single in-line array configuration over a range of jet Reynolds numbers.

Recent work, Van Treuren et al. (1993), has shown the transient method of measuring heat transfer under an array of impinging jets allows the determination of local values of adiabatic wall temperature and heat transfer coefficient over the complete surface of the target plate. Using this technique, an inline array of impinging jets has been tested over a range of average jet Reynolds numbers (10,000–40,000) and for three channel height to jet hole diameter ratios (1, 2, and 4). The array is confined on three sides and spent flow is allowed to exit in one direction. Local values are averaged and compared with previously published data in related geometries. The current data for a staggered array is compared to those from an inline array with the same hole diameter and pitch for an average jet Reynolds number of 10,000 and channel height to diameter ratio of one. A comparison is made between intensity and hue techniques for measuring stagnation point and local distributions of heat transfer. The influence of the temperature of the impingement plate through which the coolant gas flows on the target plate heat transfer has been quantified.

Cast impingement cooling geometries offer the gas turbine designer higher structural integrity and improved convective cooling when compared to traditional impingement cooling systems, which rely on plate inserts. In this paper, it is shown that the surface that forms the jets contributes significantly to the total cooling. Local heat transfer coefficient distributions have been measured in a model of an engine wall cooling geometry using the transient heat transfer technique. The method employs temperature-sensitive liquid crystals to measure the surface temperature of large-scale perspex models during transient experiments. Full distributions of local Nusselt number on both surfaces of the impingement plate, and on the impingement target plate, are presented at engine representative Reynolds numbers. The relative effects of the impingement plate thermal boundary condition and the coolant supply temperature on the target plate heat transfer have been determined by maintaining an isothermal boundary condition at the impingement plate during the transient tests. The results are discussed in terms of the interpreted flow field.

Impingement heat transfer coefficients are presented for a row of holes impinging into an oval cavity with the spent air leaving through holes on one or both sides of the cavity. The distribution around the cavity surface is obtained and is correlated with a survey of the recent literature. In addition, local heat flux gages were used with an impingement jet air supply which could be changed in location along the axis of the test section. This permitted the determination of local heat transfer coefficient distribution over the surface both around the cavity and also in the region between the impinging jets. This two-dimensional distribution is shown to be influenced by the bleed geometry and the shape of the impinging jet holes.

In an attempt to understand the effects of leakage through a component-to-component interface on the turbine end wall heat transfer, this paper describes an experimental efforts on examining the detailed heat transfer characteristics near a leaking gap. Geometric misalignment around the gap is modeled by either a forward-facing step or a backward-facing step. Heat transfer measurement here uses a temperature-sensitive fluorescent imaging of a thermographic phosphor (TGP). The TGP technique reveals detailed distribution of local heat transfer coefficient and adiabatic wall temperature in the vicinity of the leakage. The results suggest that, for a given leakage-to-mainstream mass flow ratio, the adiabatic wall temperature closes to the level of leakage temperature and is relatively insensitive to the nature of misalignment. On the outer hand, however, the value of heat transfer coefficient varies strongly with misalignment and streamwise location relative to the gap. Overall, the leakage thickens the approaching boundary layer and significantly extends the length of reattachment downstream compared to the corresponding cases without leakage. To further qualify the TGP technique, which is relatively new for transient measurement of local heat transfer, an analysis toward its efficacy in resolving complex convective system is developed in this study. One of the main advantages that TGP inherits is its capability of determining both heat transfer coefficient and reference temperature based on a single test. Other methods, such as the transient liquid crystal technique, generally require separate tests each with different thermal conditions.

Wind tunnel experiments were performed to determine both the average heat transfer coefficient and the radial distribution of the local heat transfer coefficient for a circular disk facing a uniform oncoming flow. The experiments covered the range of Reynolds numbers Re from 5000 to 50,000 and were performed using the naphthalene sublimation technique. To complement the experiments, an analysis incorporating both potential flow theory and boundary layer theory was used to predict the stagnation point heat transfer. The measured average Nusselt numbers definitively resolved a deep disparity between information from the literature and yielded the correlation Nu = 1.05 Pr0.36 Re1/2. The radial distributions of the local heat transfer coefficient were found to be congruent when they were normalized by Re1/2. Furthermore, the radial profiles showed that the local coefficient takes on its minimum value at the stagnation point and increases with increasing radial distance from the center of the disk. At the outer edge of the disk, the coefficient is more than twice as large as that at the stagnation point. The theoretical predictions of the stagnation point heat transfer exceeded the experimental values by about 6 percent. This overprediction is similar to that which occurs for cylinders and spheres in crossflow.
