Impingement Surface

Measurements are made of the local heat transfer from a flat plate to arrays of impinging circular air jets. Fluid from the spent jets is constrained to flow out of the system in one direction. Two different jet-to-jet spacings, 4 and 8 jet diameters, are employed. The parameters that are varied include jet-orifice-plate to impingement-surface spacing and jet Reynolds number. Local heat transfer coefficients vary periodically both in the flow direction and across the span with high values occurring in stagnation regions. Stagnation regions of individual jets as determined by local heat transfer coefficients move further in the downstream direction as the amount of crossflow due to upstream jet air increases. Local heat transfer coefficients are averaged numerically to obtain spanwise and streamwise-spanwise averaged heat transfer coefficients.

An analysis has been carried out for the turbulent velocity and thermal boundary layers which develop along a cylinder whose axis is parallel to the free-stream flow. Local and average friction factors are calculated as functions of the length Reynolds number Rex for various cylinder sizes (characterized, by the radius Reynolds number Rer0). For corresponding flow conditions, the friction factor for a cylinder always exceeds that for the flat plate. Local heat-transfer coefficients corresponding to the case of uniform wall heat flux have been obtained for Prandtl numbers of 0.7 and 5. As with the friction factors, the cylinder heat-transfer coefficients exceed those for the flat plate. This effect of the cylindrical geometry on heat transfer diminishes with increasing Prandtl number.

Roughened Surface

Abstract Measurements of the local heat transfer distribution on smooth and roughened surfaces under an array of angled impinging jets are presented. The test rig is designed to simulate impingement with cross-flow in one direction which is a common method for cooling gas turbine components such as the combustion liner. Jet angle is varied between 30, 60, and 90 degrees as measured from the impingement surface, which is either smooth or randomly roughened. Liquid crystal video thermography is used to capture surface temperature data at five different jet Reynolds numbers ranging between 15,000 and 35,000. The effect of jet angle, Reynolds number, gap, and surface roughness on heat transfer efficiency and pressure loss is determined along with the various interactions among these parameters. Peak heat transfer coefficients for the range of Reynolds number from 15,000 to 35,000 are highest for orthogonal jets impinging on roughened surface; peak Nu values for this configuration ranged from 88 to 165 depending on Reynolds number. The ratio of peak to average Nu is lowest for 30-degree jets impinging on roughened surfaces. It is often desirable to minimize this ratio in order to decrease thermal gradients, which could lead to thermal fatigue. High thermal stress can significantly reduce the useful life of engineering components and machinery. Peak heat transfer coefficients decay in the cross-flow direction by close to 24% over a dimensionless length of 20. The decrease of spanwise average Nu in the crossflow direction is lowest for the case of 30-degree jets impinging on a roughened surface where the decrease was less than 3%. The decrease is greatest for 30-degree jet impingement on a smooth surface where the stagnation point Nu decreased by more than 23% for some Reynolds numbers.

Numerical studies have been conducted to determine the heat transfer performances in a Taylor-Poiseuille flow regime. The flow is confined between two different heated, concentric cylinders. The inner cylinder is allowed to rotate while the outer one remains fixed, an axial flow is added. The influences of rotation Taylor number and axial Reynolds number on heat transfer coefficients are investigated. Results show that temperature in the flow regime presents a remarkable sinusoidal periodicity as the result of the axial arrangement of Taylor vortices, so does the local heat transfer coefficients. Heat transfer efficiency gets strengthened with increasing Taylor number, while damped with increasing Reynolds number. The accuracy of the simulation is validated by compared to the existing linear stability analysis.

Sealing Performance

The influence of Reynolds number and pressure ratio on the operating characteristics of a stepped labyrinth seal was experimentally determined. The geometries investigated represent designs of a stepped labyrinth seal typical for modern jet engines. Heat transfer and discharge measurements were obtained for two plane models with various seal clearances. The experiments covered a range of Reynolds numbers and pressure ratios. Independent variation of Reynolds number and pressure ratio was obtained by adjusting the back pressure at the seal exit for a given pressure ratio. Dimensionless discharge coefficients, describing the sealing performance, were derived from the measured leakage rates. Pressure ratio, Reynolds number, tip geometry and seal clearance all affected the sealing performance. Finite element calculations were employed to calculate the local heat transfer coefficients from the measured wall and gas temperatures. Averaging of the local values yielded mean heat transfer coefficients and mean Nusselt numbers. The heat transfer was mainly determined by the Reynolds number. Compressibility effects on the heat transfer were observed to be very small.

Local heat transfer from a flat plate to a pair of circular air impinging jets is investigated numerically. A pair of impinging jets from fully-developed pipe flows are used for the numerical simulations. The Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations(RANS) and energy equation are solved for the three dimensional flow. Eddy-viscocity based turbulence models, RNG k-epsilon and V2F models, are used. Hybrid meshes are used for the three dimensional flows and mesh independent solutions are obtained. The flow Reynolds number, which is based on the jet diameter, is kept at 23,000. In the analysis, local heat transfer coefficients are obtained for the jet-to-plate distance, L/D, ranging from 2 to 10 and the jet-to-jet spacing, S/D, in the range of 1.75 to 7.0. Both local and average heat transfer coefficients are evaluated and compared with available experimental data under same flow conditions. The effect of using different turbulence models in the numerical analysis is evaluated and the selection of proper turbulence models under such a flow condition is suggested.

Numerical simulations of the flow field and heat transfer of squealer blade tip are performed in this study. The effect of Reynolds number (Re = 10000–40000), the clearance gap to width ratios (C/W = 5%–15%) and the cavity depth to width ratios (D/W = 10%, 20% and 50%) on fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics are obtained. The temperature and velocity distributions inside the cavity, the local heat transfer coefficients, and the average Nusselt numbers for the pressure and suction sides of the turbine blade tip are determined. This paper presents the results of the effects of Reynolds number, clearance gap and width ratios on the Nusslet number for the pressure and suction sides of squealer turbine blade tip. The results show a good agreement with the experimental data obtained by Metzger and Bunker. New correlations for the average Nusselt numbers for turbine blade tip pressure and suction sides are presented.

Experiments were conducted to determine the influence of rotation on local heat transfer coefficient for the turbulent flow in a short square duct (L/DH = 15) with a pair of opposite rib-roughened walls. The ribs are configured in an in-line arrangement with an attack angle of 90 deg to the main flow. The coolant used was air with the flow direction in the radially outward direction. The Reynolds numbers ranged from 5000 to 25,000; the rib pitch-to-height ratio was 5; and the rib height-to-hydraulic diameter ratio was kept at a value of 0.20. The rotation number range was 0 to 0.5. Local Nusselt number variations along the duct were determined over the trailing and leading surfaces. In addition, local heat transfer measurements on all sides of a typical rib as well as on a typical exposed base surface between two consecutive ribs in a fully developed region were conducted at various rotational speeds. It is shown that the Coriolis acceleration tends to improve the heat transfer due to the presence of strong secondary flow. Centripetal buoyancy is shown to influence the heat transfer response with heat transfer being suppressed on both leading and trailing surfaces as the wall-to-coolant temperature difference is increased with other controlling parameters hold constant. Results are also compared with previous investigations. It was found that the results agree very well with those reported by other works in this field.

Local heat transfer in enclosed co-rotating disks with axial through flow is investigated. The rotating cavity has two plane disks and a cylindrical rim (shroud). The ratio of the rim span to the disk outer radius is 0.4 and the ratio of the disk inner radius to outer radius is 0.25. The objectives of this study are to investigate the effects of axial coolant flow rate, rotation speed, and disk surface temperature on the local heat transfer coefficients inside the disk cavity. Both uniform disk surface heat flux and uniform disk surface temperatures are tested for axial flow Reynolds numbers between 2500 and 25,000 rotational Reynolds numbers between 0 and 5.11 × 105, and rotational Grashof numbers between 5 × 106 and 1.3 × 1010. The results show that the local heat transfer coefficients for the nonrotating cavity increase with increasing axial flow Reynolds number. In general, the local Nusselt numbers at large radii of the disks and rim increase with increasing rotational Reynolds number. However, the local Nusselt numbers at small radii of the disks initially decrease and then increase with increasing rotational Reynolds number. The uniform heat flux condition provides slightly higher heat transfer coefficients than those for the uniform wall temperature condition.
