Results are presented from an experimental study conducted to measure heat transfer rates at the rim of a rotating disk convectively cooled by impinging jets. The disk face contour radially inward from the rim is varied to simulate the geometric conditions found on gas turbine engine rotors. Heat transfer rates are found to be relatively unaffected by impingement for jet flowrates less than the order of one-tenth the disk pumping flow. Disk pumping flows are evaluated through the use of an analysis which accounts for the presence of the disk hub. At larger jet flowrates, heat transfer rates increase strongly with increasing jet flow, reaching two to three times the no-impingement values at jet flowrates approximately equal to the pumped flow. All the heat transfer results, both with and without jet impingement, are essentially unaffected by changes in the disk face contour.

Abstract This paper presents an experimental investigation on MEMS impinging jets as applied to micro heat exchangers. We have fabricated MEMS single and array jet nozzles using DRIE technology, as well as a MEMS quartz chip providing a simulated hot surface for jet impingement. The quartz chip, with an integrated polysilicon thin-film heater and distributed temperature sensors, offers high spatial resolution in temperature measurement due to the low thermal conductivity of quartz. From measured temperature distributions, heat transfer coefficients are computed for single and array micro impinging jets using finite element analysis. The results from this study for the first time provide extensive data on spatial distributions of micro impinging-jet heat transfer coefficients, and demonstrate the viability of MEMS heat exchangers that use micro impinging jets.

An experimental study of the flow interaction and heat transfer between a single impinging jet and a rotating disk is presented. Tests were conducted over a range of jet flowrates, impingement radii, and disk rotational speeds with various combinations of three jet and three disk sizes. Flow visualization using smoke addition to the jet flow reveals the presence of a flow regime transition which is correlated in terms of the rotationally induced disk pumping flow acting as a cross-flow influence on the jet. Higher rotational speeds, larger impingement radii, and smaller jet flowrates favor a rotationally dominated flow interaction whereas the opposite trends favor an impingement dominated interaction. Heat transfer rates are essentially independent of jet flowrate in the rotationally dominated regime, but increase, strongly with increasing flowrate in the impingement dominated regime.

This study investigated the heat transfer characteristics of an array jet cooling system on a concave surface. Two types of injection holes were used: one for impinging jets normal to the impingement surface, and the other for angled impinging jets. For the normal jets, the jet Reynolds number (Re) based on the hole diameter varied from 3,000 to 10,000, and the height-to-diameter ratio (H/d) was fixed at 1.0. There were 15 injection holes positioned in a staggered 3×5 array. For the angled jets, Re was set to 5,000 and H/d was also fixed at 1.0. Naphthalene sublimation method was used to determine the heat transfer coefficients on the targeted plates. For normal impinging jet cooling, separate peaks were observed at the stagnation regions due to the curvature effect. Since a crossflow was generated by air spent from the jet arrays, the crossflow effect increased as it moved downstream. Due to the interaction between the crossflow and impinging jets, the peak values at the stagnation points increased downstream. The heat transfer coefficient on the targeted plate increased with Re. The average Sh of the angled jets was higher than that of the normal jets, as the obliquely impinging jet increased the mass flow rate and mass interaction between the jet impingement points.

A number of turbulence models offered by the commercial code STAR-CD have been tested on the measurements published in the literature with the objective to compare their capabilities for the simulation of a flow and heat transfer in multiple impinging jets. Numerical predictions of the single jet and jet array air impinging heat transfer have been compared with experimental data. The comparison shows that only turbulence models with additional limiters for turbulence production in the stagnation zone are able to correctly predict the jet impingement heat transfer. Suga’s k-ε turbulence model with Yap-correction, k-ε RNG, V2F and SST turbulence models with different near wall modifications are in acceptable agreement with experiments. The deviations from the experimental data, which provide all the turbulence models, are analyzed.

This research provides a computational analysis of heat transfer due to micro jet-impingement inside a gas turbine vane. A preliminary-parametric analysis of axisymmetric single jet was reported to better understand micro jet-impingement. In general, it was seen that as the Reynolds number increased the Nusselt number values increased. The jet to target spacing had a considerably lower impact on the heat transfer rates. Around 30% improvement was seen by reducing the diameter to half while changing the shape to an ellipse saw 20.8% improvement in Nusselt value. The numerical investigation was then followed by studying the heat transfer characteristics in a three-dimensional, actual-shaped turbine vane. Effects of jet inclination showed enhanced mixing and secondary heat transfer peaks. The effect of reducing the diameter of the jets to 0.125 mm yielded 55% heat transfer improvements compared to 0.51 mm; the tapering effect also enhanced the local heat transfer values as local velocities at jet exit increased.

This research was aimed at studying the numerical and experimental characteristics of the air flow impinging on a dimpled surface. Heat transfer enhancement between a hot surface and the air is supposed to be obtained from a dimple effect. In the experiment, 15 types of test plate were investigated at different distances between the jet and test plate (B), dimple diameter (d) and dimple distance (Er and Eθ). The testing fluid was air presented in an impinging jet flowing at Re = 1500 to 14,600. A comparison of the heat transfer coefficient was performed between the jet impingement on the dimpled surface and the flat plate. The velocity vector and the temperature contour showed the different air flow characteristics from different test plates. The highest thermal enhancement factor (TEF) was observed under the conditions of B = 2 d, d = 1 cm, Er= 2 d, Eθ = 1.5 d and Re = 1500. This TEF was obtained from the dimpled surface and was 5.5 times higher than that observed in the flat plate.

This work focuses on the numerical and experimental study of convective heat transfer in a rotor of a discoidal the machine with an eccentric impinging jet. Convective heat transfers are determined experimentally in steady state on the surface of a single rotating disk. The experimental technique is based on the use of infrared thermography to access surface temperature measurement, and on the numerical resolution of the energy equation in steady-state, to evaluate local convective coefficients. The results from the numerical simulation are compared with heat transfer experiments for rotational Reynolds numbers between 2.38×105 and 5.44×105 and for the jet's Reynolds numbers ranging from 16.5×103 to 49.6 ×103. A good agreement between the two approaches was obtained in the case of a single rotating disk, which confirms us in the choice of our numerical model. On the other hand, a numerical study of the flow and convective heat transfer in the case of an unconfined rotor-stator system with an eccentric air jet impinging and for a dimensionless spacing G=0.02, was carried out. The results obtained revealed the presence of different heat transfer zones dominated either by rotation only, by the air flow only or by the dynamics of the rotation flow superimposed on that of the air flow. Critical radii on the rotor surface have been identified

Impingement heat transfer is significantly affected by initial cross-flow or by the presence of cross-flow from upstream spent jets. In this study, a zero cross-flow design is presented. The zero-crossflow design creates spacing between hole arrays to allow for spent flow to be directed away from impinging jets. Three configurations with different impingement holes placements are studied and compared with pure impingement with spent crossflow cases for the same jet Reynolds number. Three jet Reynolds numbers are studied for Rej = 10000, 20000, and 30000. Detailed heat transfer distributions are obtained using the transient liquid crystal technique. The zero-cross flow design clearly shows minimal degradation of impingement heat transfer due to crossflow compared to conventional design with lower mass flow rate requirement and lesser number of overall impingement holes due to the reduced cross-flow effect on the impingement region.
