Impingement Surface

Convective heat transfer from a heated flat surface due to twin oblique laminar slot-jet impingement is investigated numerically. The flow domain is confined by an adiabatic surface parallel to the heated impingement surface. The twin slot jets are located on the confining surface. The flow and geometric parameters are the jet exit Reynolds number, distance between the two jets, distance between the jet exit and the impingement surface, and the inclination angle of the jet to the impingement surface. Numerical computations are done for various combinations of these parameters, and the results are presented in terms of the streamlines and isotherms in the flow domain, the distribution of the local Nusselt number along the heated surface, and the average Nusselt number at the heated surface. It is found that the peak and the average Nusselt number on the hot surface mildly decreases and the location of the stagnation point and the peak Nusselt number gradually moves downstream as the impingement angle is decreased from 90 deg. The heat transfer distribution from the impingement surface gets more uniform as the impingement angle is reduced to 45 deg and 30 deg at lager jet-to-plate distance (4–8) with a corresponding overall heat transfer reduction of about 40% compared to the normal impinging jet case. The specified jet exit velocity profile boundary condition has considerable effect on the predicted Nusselt number around the impingement location. Fully developed jet exit velocity profile correctly predicts the Nusselt number when compared to the experimental data.

Abstract Heat transfer from an isothermally hot flat surface due to swirling coaxial turbulent jet impingement is investigated numerically. The coaxial jet construction consists of implanting a thin-walled round tube inside a coaxial outer pipe. Two different fluid streams or jets, having different average velocities, flow through the inner tube, and the annular space between the inner tube and the outer pipe. The ratio of the average velocities of the jets, the ratio of the pipe diameters, the jet exit Reynolds number, the strength of the swirl, and the separation distance from the jet exit to the impingement surface are the main parameters for this flow configuration. The effects of the swirl strength on the jet impingement heat transfer at the target surface are investigated by computing the flow and thermal fields for various combinations of the problem parameters. The presented results contain the plots of the flow streamlines, the contours of the temperature, the contours of the swirl velocity, as well as the distribution of the local and average Nusselt number on the impingement surface. It is found that, compared to the single round jet, the coaxial jet produces enhanced and more uniform heat transfer at the heated surface. The jet-spreading and mixing are affected by the imposed jet swirl which modifies the heat transfer process. Thus, the heat transfer compared to a non-swirling jet is either enhanced or diminished depending on the combination of the problem parameters.

In this study, effects of extended jet holes to heat transfer and flow characteristics of jet impingement cooling were numerically investigated. Cross-flow in the impinging jet cooling adversely affects the heat transfer on the target surface. The main purpose of this study is to reduce the negative effect of cross-flow on heat transfer by extending jet holes toward the target surface with nozzles. This study has been conducted under turbulent flow condition (15,000 ≤ Re  ≤  45,000). The surface of the turbine blade, which is the target surface, has been modeled as a flat plate. The effect of the ribs, placed on the target surface, on the heat transfer has been also investigated, and the results were compared with the flat surface. The parameters such as average and local Nusselt numbers on the target surface, flow characteristics, and compressor power have been examined in detail. It was obtained from the numerical results that the average Nusselt number increases with decreasing the gap between the target surface and the nozzle. In addition, the higher average Nusselt number was obtained on the flat surface than the ribbed surface. The lowest compressor power was achieved in the 5Dj nozzle gap for the flat surface and in the 4Dj nozzle gap for the ribbed surface.

Abstract Heat transfer over rotating surfaces is of particular interest in rotating machinery such as gas turbine engines. The rotation of the gas turbine disc creates a radially outward flow on the disc surface, which may lead to ingress of hot gases into the narrow cavity between the disc and the stator. Impingement of cooling jet is an effective way of cooling the disc and countering the ingress of the hot gases. Present study focusses on investigating the effect of introducing pin-fins over the rotating disc on the heat transfer. The jet Reynolds number has been varied from 5000 to 18000, and the rotating Reynolds number has been varied from 5487 to 12803 for an aluminum disc of thickness 6.35mm and diameter 10.16 cm, over which square pins have been arranged in an inline fashion. Steady state temperature measurements have been taken using thermocouples embedded in the disc close to the target surface, and area average Nusselt number has been calculated. The effects of varying the height of the pin-fins, distance between nozzle and the disc surface and the inclination of the impinging jet with the axis of rotation have also been studied. The results have been compared with those for a smooth aluminum disc of equal dimensions and without any pin-fins. The average Nusselt number is significantly enhanced by the presence of pin fins. In the impingement dominant regime, where the effect of disc rotation is minimal for a smooth disc, the heat transfer increases with rotational speed in case of pin fins. The effect of inclination angle of the impinging jet is insignificant in the range explored in this paper (0° to 20°).

An experimental study using Liquid crystal thermography technique is conducted to study the convective heat transfer enhancement in jet impingement cooling in the presence of porous media. Aluminium porous sample of 10 PPI with permeability 2.48e−7 and porosity 0.95 is used in the present study. Results are presented for two different Reynolds number 400 and 700 with four different configurations of jet impingement (1) without porous foams (2) over porous heat sink (3) with porous obstacle case (4) through porous passage. Jet impingement with porous heat sink showed a deterioration in average Nusselt number by 10.5% and 18.1% for Reynolds number of 400 and 700 respectively when compared with jet impingement without porous heat sink configuration. The results show that for Reynolds number 400, jet impingement through porous passage augments average Nusselt number by 30.73% whereas obstacle configuration enhances the heat transfer by 25.6% over jet impingement without porous medium. Similarly for Reynolds number 700, the porous passage configuration shows average Nusselt number enhancement by 71.09% and porous obstacle by 33.4 % over jet impingement in the absence of porous media respectively.

Nanoparticle Shapes

Numerical study of jet impingement cooling of a corrugated surface with water–SiO2 nanofluid of different nanoparticle shapes was performed. The bottom wall is corrugated and kept at constant surface temperature, while the jet emerges from a rectangular slot with cold uniform temperature. The finite volume method is utilized to solve the governing equations. The effects of Reynolds number (between 100 and 500), corrugation amplitude (between 0 and 0.3), corrugation frequency (between 0 and 20), nanoparticle volume fraction (between 0 and 0.04), and nanoparticle shapes (spherical, blade, brick, and cylindrical) on the fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics were studied. Stagnation point and average Nusselt number enhance with Reynolds number and solid particle volume fraction for both flat and corrugated surface configurations. An optimal value for the corrugation amplitude and frequency was found to maximize the average heat transfer at the highest value of Reynolds number. Among various nanoparticle shapes, cylindrical ones perform the best heat transfer characteristics in terms of stagnation and average Nusselt number values. At the highest solid volume concentration of the nanoparticles, heat transfer values are higher for a corrugated surface when compared to a flat surface case.

An experimental study has been carried out to investigate heat transfer characteristics on internal surfaces of a V-shaped plate exposed to a slot jet impingement of air. A square-edged nozzle is mounted parallel with V-shaped plate axis and jet flow impinges on the bottom of the V-shaped plate. The study is focused on Rayleigh number 159000, angle of V-shaped plate ranging from 22.5 to 45 degree, low Reynolds numbers ranging from 29.05 to 60.41, and slot-to-(V-shaped plate) spacing from 17 to 21 of the slot width. A Mach-Zehnder interferometer is used for measurement of local Nusselt number on the V-shaped plate. It is observed that the local Nusselt number and average Nusselt number decrease with increasing the jet spacing and increase with increasing the Reynolds number. Also the local Nusselt number and average nusselt number increase with rising the angle of V-shaped plate.

A series of experimental investigations with a stringent measurement method on the natural heat transfer from an unconfined or confined smooth and extended surface have been successfully conducted. From the results, the maximum transient-/steady-state local Nusselt number exists in the region near the edge of the heated smooth or extended surface, and the transient-/ steady-state local Nusselt number decreases along the distance from the surface edge toward the surface center. The transient-/steady-state local and average Nusselt number increases with increasing Grs, H/W or Hes/W. The effects of Grs, H/W and Hes/W on the Nus/Nus,o distribution are not significant; and the Nus/Nus,o distribution can be expressed as a generalized bowl-shaped profile, which is independent of Grs, H/W and Hes/W. By the statistical sensitivity analysis of ANOVA F-test, the steady-state average Nusselt number for unconfined/confined smooth or extended surface is significantly affected by either one of Grs, H/W and Hes/W. Among them, Grs has the most significant effect. Four new correlations of steady-state average Nusselt number in terms of relevant influencing parameters for unconfined/ confined smooth or extended surfaces are proposed, respectively. Furthermore, two normalized steady-state average Nusselt numbers for confined smooth or extended surfaces are proposed, respectively. As compared with the steady-state average Nusselt numbers for unconfined/confined smooth surface, the steady-state heat transfer enhancement for unconfined/confined extended surface can be achieved between 93.99% and 254.65%.

Impingement Heat Transfer

Impinging heat transferred by a pulsed jet induced by a six-chevron nozzle on a semicylindrical concave surface is investigated by varying jet Reynolds numbers (5000 ≤ Re ≤ 20,000), operational frequencies (0 Hz ≤ f ≤ 25 Hz), and dimensionless nozzle-to-surface distances (1 ≤ H/d ≤ 8) while fixing the duty cycle as DC = 0.5. The semicylindrical concave surface has a cylinder diameter-to-nozzle diameter ratio (D/d) of 10. The results show that the nozzle-to-surface distance has a significant impact on the impingement heat transfer of the pulsed chevron jet. An optimal nozzle-to-surface distance for achieving the maximum stagnation Nusselt number appears at H/d  =  6. In the wall jet zone, the averaged Nusselt number is the largest at H/d = 2 and the smallest at H/d = 8. In comparison with the chevron steady jet impingement, the effect of nozzle-to-surface distance on the convective heat transfer becomes less notable for the pulsed chevron jet impingement. The stagnation Nusselt number under the pulsed chevron jet impingement is mostly less than that under the chevron steady jet impingement. However, at H/d = 8, the pulsed chevron jet is more effective than the steady jet. This study confirmed that the pulsed chevron jet produced higher azimuthally averaged Nusselt numbers than the steady chevron jet in the wall jet flow zone at large nozzle-to-surface distances. The stagnation Nusselt numbers by the pulsed chevron jet impingement have a maximum reduction of 21.0% (f = 20 Hz, H/d = 4, and Re = 2000) compared with that of the steady chevron jet impingement. Also, the pulsed chevron jet impingement heat transfer on a concave surface is less effective compared to a flat surface. The stagnation Nusselt numbers on the semicylindrical concave surface have a maximum reduction of about 37.7% (f = 20 Hz, H/d = 8, and Re = 5000) compared with that on the flat surface.

Impingement Surface

A computational study is presented of the heat transfer performance of a micro-scale, axisymmetric, confined jet impinging on a flat surface with an embedded uniform heat flux disk. The jet flow occurs at large, subsonic Mach numbers (0.2 to 0.8) and low Reynolds numbers (419 to 1782) at two impingement distances. The flow is characterized by a Knudsen number of 0.01, based on the viscous boundary layer thickness, which is large enough to warrant consideration of slip-flow boundary conditions along the impingement surface. The effects of Mach number, compressibility, and slip-flow on heat transfer are presented. The local Nusselt number distributions are shown along with the velocity, pressure, density and temperature fields near the impingement surface. Results show that the wall temperature decreases with increasing Mach number, M, exhibiting a minimum local value at r/R=1.6 for the highest M. The slip velocity also increases with M, showing peak values near r/R=1.4 for all M. The resulting Nusselt number increases with increasing M, and local maxima are observed near r/R=1.20, rather than at the centerline. In general, compressibility improves heat transfer due to increased fluid density near the impinging surface. The inclusion of slip-velocity and the accompanying wall temperature jump increases the predicted rate of heat transfer by as much as 8–10% for M between 0.4 and 0.8.

Local Heat Transfer Coefficient

The influence of rotation and jet mass flow rate on the local heat transfer coefficient for a single confined impinging round jet with a fixed jet-to-wall spacing of H/d = 5 was studied for the jet Reynolds number from 6500 to 26,000 and the rotational Reynolds number from 0 to 112,000. The local heat transfer coefficient along the surface is measured and the effect of the rotation on the stagnation (peak) point, local and average Nusselt number, is presented and discussed. Furthermore, a correlation was developed for the average Nusselt number in terms of the parameters of Rej and ReΩ. In general, the combined jet impingement and rotation effect are shown to affect the heat transfer response. Rotation decreases the average Nusselt number values from 15 to 25 percent in outward and inward radial flow, respectively. Finally, comparisons of the present data with existing results for multijets with rotation were also made.
