The effect of two in-line inclined baffles on the local heat transfer distributions and the associated frictional losses for a turbulent flow with uniform heating from the top surface of a rectangular channel is presented for different Reynolds numbers. A combination of two baffles of same overall size is used in this experiment. The upstream baffle remains attached to the top heated surface and the position, orientation, and geometry of the other is varied. These inclined perforated baffles combine the three major heat transfer augmentation techniques, i.e., jet impingement, internal flow swirls, and boundary layer separation. The results indicate that placement of two inclined baffles augment the overall heat transfer coefficient significantly along with the local heat transfer distribution. The pattern of local Nusselt number ratio strongly depends on the position, orientation, and geometry of the second plate. Like single inclined baffles and rib mounted channels, two baffles offer more pressure drop at higher flow Reynolds number.

Abstract The present work focuses on the effect of flow pulsation on the characteristics of the planar jet impingement normally on a heated surface. Specifically, the influence of frequency, amplitude and Reynolds number of the jet is examined, concerning the instantaneous and time average convective heat transfer. The simulations are conducted using a novel, improved Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) methodology that is based on particle discretization of the governing compressible Navier-Stokes equations. The simulation of jet impingement focuses on the quantitative description of the flow field and the energy exchange between jet and surface. The strong aerodynamic and thermal interaction that exists between the gaseous jet and the impingement surface greatly enhances the local heat transfer in the stagnation and wall jet regions as well as the average heat transfer over the surface. This study is the first step toward modeling the same process but in the presence of chemical reactions and ablation between the gaseous jet and the plate.

Measured local heat transfer data and the results of flow visualization studies are reported for cross-flow mixed convection in a rectangular enclosure with restricted inlet and outlet openings at high Rayleigh number. In this study, experiments using water as the test fluid were conducted in a small-scale test section with uniformly heated vertical side walls and an adiabatic top and bottom. As the flow rate through the enclosure increased, the enhancement of heat transfer, above that for natural convection alone, also increased. The variation of the local heat transfer coefficient over the heated surface was found to be strongly affected by the recirculation of portions of the forced flow within the enclosure. Mean heat transfer coefficients are also presented which were calculated by averaging the measured local values over the heated surface. A correlation for the mean heat transfer coefficient is also proposed which agrees very well with the experimentally determined values. A method of predicting the flow regime in this geometry for specified heating and flow conditions is also discussed.

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.

An experimental study was done to determine the effect of entrainment temperature on the local heat transfer rates to single and multiple, plane, turbulent impinging air jets. To determine the effect of entrainment of the surrounding fluid, the single jet issued into an environment at a temperature which was varied between the initial temperature of the jet and the temperature of the heated impingement plate. An analytical model was used to correlate the measured heat transfer rate to a single jet. The effect of the entrainment temperature in a single jet was then used to analyze the effect of entrainment from the recirculation region between the jets of a jet array. Using the measured temperature in the recirculation region to include the effect of entrainment, the single jet correlations were successfully applied to multiple jets.

Detailed heat transfer distributions are numerically investigated on a multiple jet impingement target surface with staggered arrays of spherical dimples where coolant can be extracted through film holes for external film cooling. The three dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes analysis with SST k-ω turbulence model is conducted at jet Reynolds number from 15,000 to 35,000. The separation distance between the jet plate and the target surface varies from 3 to 5 jet diameters and two jet-induced crossflow schemes are included to be referred as large and small crossflow at one and two opposite exit openings correspondingly. Flow and heat transfer results for the dimpled target plate with three suction ratios of 2.5%, 5.0% and 12.0% are compared with those on dimpled surfaces without film holes. The results indicate the presence of film holes could alter the local heat transfer distributions, especially near the channel outlets where the crossflow level is the highest. The heat transfer enhancements by applying film holes to the dimpled surfaces is improved to different degrees at various suction ratios, and the enhancements depend on the coupling effect of impingement and channel flow, which is relevant to jet Reynolds number, jet-to-plate spacing and crossflow scheme.

In the present study, the local heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics are investigated experimentally for the flow boiling of refrigerant HFC134a in a multi-port extruded tube of 1.06mm in hydraulic diameter. The test tube is 865mm in total length made of aluminum. The pressure drop is measured at an interval of 191 mm, and the local heat transfer coefficient is measured in every subsection of 75mm in effective heating length. Experimental ranges are as follows: the mass velocity of G = 100–700 kg/m2s, the inlet temperature of Tin = 5.9–11.4 °C and inlet pressure of about 0.5 MPa. The data of pressure drop are compared with a few previous correlations for small diameter tubes, and the correlations can predict the data relatively good agreement. The data of heat transfer coefficient is compared with the correlations of Yu et al. proposed for relatively large diameter tubes. It is found that there are some differences about two phase multiplier factor of convective heat transfer between the circular channel and rectangular channel.

Conduction Model

Abstract Liquid crystal thermography and infrared thermography techniques are typically employed to measure detailed surface temperatures, where local heat transfer coefficient (HTC) values are calculated by employing suitable conduction models. One such practice, which is very popular and easy to use, is the transient liquid crystal thermography using one-dimensional semi-infinite conduction model. In these experiments, a test surface with low thermal conductivity and low thermal diffusivity (e.g. acrylic) is used where a step-change in coolant air temperature is induced and surface temperature response is recorded. An error minimization routine is then employed to guess heat transfer coefficients of each pixel, where wall temperature evolution is known through an analytical expression. The assumption that heat flow in the solid is essentially in one-dimension, often leads to errors in HTC determination and this error depends on true HTC, wall temperature evolution and HTC gradient. A representative case of array jet impingement under maximum crossflow condition has been considered here. This heat transfer enhancement concept is widely used in gas turbine leading edge and electronics cooling. Jet impingement is a popular cooling technique which results in high convective heat rates and has steep gradients in heat transfer coefficient distribution. In this paper, we have presented a procedure for solution of three-dimensional transient conduction equation using alternating direction implicit method and an error minimization routine to find accurate heat transfer coefficients at relatively lower computational cost. The HTC results obtained using 1D semi-infinite conduction model and 3D conduction model were compared and it was found that the heat transfer coefficient obtained using the 3D model was consistently higher than the conventional 1D model by 3–16%. Significant deviations, as high as 8–20% in local heat transfer at the stagnation points of the jets were observed between h1D and h3D.

Transfer Enhancement

The heat transfer characteristic and flow structure of fluid in the rectangular channel with different height vortex generators in small scale are investigated with numerical simulation. Meantime, the properties of heat transfer and flow of fluid in the rectangular channel are compared with the channel which located small scale vortex generator. The variation law of local heat transfer and flow structure in channel is obtained. The mechanism of heat transfer enhancement of small scale vortex generators is discussed in detail. It is found that the influence of vortex generator on heat transfer is not in proportion to the size of vortex generator. What is more, turbulent flow structure near the wall, which influences the temperature distribution near the wall, induces the variety of local heat transfer. The fluid movement towards to the wall causes the heat transfer enhanced. On the contrary, the fluid movement away from the wall decreases the local heat transfer.
