Impingement Heat Transfer

Mathematical model combining theoretical analysis approach and differential numerical solving techniques has been set up to predict the free surface water jet impingement heat transfer. Heat transfer properties are obtained and validated by comparison with experiments. The characteristic of Nu-r/d distribution is discussed and the effect of nozzle diameter is analyzed. In addition, nozzle arrangements are studied for water jet equipment designation purpose. The results show that: Reynolds number is the dominate parameter in Nu-r/d distribution and area-averaged Nusselt number increases with increasing nozzle diameter. The best heat transfer effect appears when the aspect ratio of rectangular surface equals to 1. Fewer nozzles and bigger single impinged area could get larger Nusselt number under a given total water flow rate and given total impinged area. At a constant flow rate, larger nozzle diameter and smaller Reynolds number present a larger Nusselt number.

Jet impingement is often employed within the leading edge of turbine airfoils to combat the heat loads incurred within this region. This experimental investigation employs a transient liquid crystal technique to obtain detailed Nusselt number distributions on a concave, cylindrical surface that models the leading edge of a turbine airfoil. The effect of hole shape and differing hole inlet and exit conditions are investigated. Two hole shapes are studied: cylindrical and racetrack-shaped holes; for each hole shape, the hydraulic diameter and mass flow rate into the array of jets is conserved. As a result, the jet's Reynolds number varies between the two jet arrays. Reynolds numbers of 13,600, 27,200, and 40,700 are investigated for the cylindrical holes, and Reynolds numbers of 11,500, 23,000, and 34,600 are investigated for the racetrack holes. Three inlet and exit conditions are investigated for each hole shape: a square edged, a partially filleted, and a fully filleted hole. The ratio of the fillet radius to hole hydraulic diameter is set at 0.25 and 0.667 for the partially and fully filleted holes, respectively, while all other geometrical features remain constant. Results show the Nusselt number is directly related to the Reynolds number for both cylindrical and racetrack-shaped holes. The racetrack holes are shown to provide enhanced heat transfer compared to the cylindrical holes. The degree of filleting at the inlet and outlet of the holes affects whether the heat transfer on the leading edge model is further enhanced or degraded.

Impingement Heat Transfer

Heat transfer characteristics of an impinging air jet are experimentally investigated under a fixed pumping power condition. The effects of dimensionless pumping power on the Nusselt number are considered. The focus is on cases where the nozzle-to-plate spacing is equal to or less than one nozzle diameter. The results show that the Nusselt number is independent of the nozzle-to-plate spacing under fixed pumping power conditions, while the Nusselt number increases with decreasing the nozzle-to-plate spacing under fixed flow rate conditions. Based on the experimental results, new correlations for the stagnation and average Nusselt numbers of the impinging jet are developed as a function of the pumping power alone.

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.

Impingement heat transfer between a circular jet and a semi-spherical concave surface with or without coverage of porous material is investigated experimentally and numerically. For cases with coverage of the porous material on the target plate, a trapping hole for the jet fluid is fabricated. Measured local Nusselt number distributions along a meridian are documented. The flow and temperature fields at the conditions similar to that of experiments were computed with CFD software to support the experimental results and help to explain the physics. Varying parameters include Reynolds number, nozzle-to-plate distance, relative curvature, and a target surface with or without the covered porous material. Results show that the attachment of a porous material increases Nusselt number, with more influence at the stagnation zone than the far field. Increasing Reynolds number usually increases Nusselt number unless it is too high. Although an increase in the nozzle-to-plate distance decreases stagnation Nusselt number, the influence in heat transfer is small in the far field. The trapping-hole diameter should be the same as that of the jet diameter for best heat transfer enhancement.

Impingement Heat Transfer

Jet impingement heat transfer on a target plate covered with a thick porous layer with or without a cylindrical center cavity is experimentally investigated using the transient liquid crystal technique. Based on the results of jet impingement on a bare flat plate, heat transfer enhancement due to the attachment of porous medium is assessed. The varying parameters in the experiments include the nozzle-to-plate distance, jet Reynolds number, jet-to-cavity diameter ratio, and the cavity depth. Results of Nusselt number distribution, stagnation-zone Nusselt number, and averaged Nusselt number over a region of 3 times the hole diameter are documented. Experimental results show that the attachment of the porous layer with a center cavity can either hamper, or effectively enhance the jet impingement heat transfer over a flat plate. The maximum enhancement occurs at jet Reynolds number of 12400 when the cavity is a through hole and the cavity has the same diameter as the jet. The stagnation-zone Nusselt number increases 58.3% and the averaged Nusselt number increases 77.5% at the maximum enhancement condition. On the other hand, the addition of the thick porous layer without a center cavity gave rise to severe adverse effect on jet impingement heat transfer.

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.

Jet impingement is one of cooling method used in order to achieve high heat transfer coefficient and widely used in industry applications such as drying of textile and film, glass and plastic sheets, cooling of electronic equipment, and heat treatment of metals. In this research, it focused on the effectiveness of the jet impingement cooling system on the convex surface based on mass blowing rate and nozzle exit to surface parameters. The scope of experiment research encompasses are convex surface made of aluminum alloy and diameter 12.5cm. For mass blowing rate parameters, it use ʋjet = 1.98m/s, 3.03m/s, 4.97m/s and 6.00m/s which has Reynolds number range from 643 until 1946. Nozzle exit to surface distance,s/d = 4.0, 8.0 and 12.0. In this experiment model, a major components that involved are a compressor, nozzle, convex surface model, K thermocouple and heater. For the result of the experiment, it is based on the data obtain through a heat transfer coefficient and Nusselt number which the plotted graph focus on the space spacing and Reynolds number parameters. For the graph Nusselt number versus s/d at stagnation point c/d=0, it shown that when the Reynolds number increase, the Nusselt number also increase. In term of effectiveness, the s/d=12.0 has a good effectiveness jet impingement cooling system. For the graph of Nusselt number versus Reynolds at stagnation point, c/d=0, as Reynolds number increase, the Nusselt number increase too. From this experiment the better cooling effect is at Reynolds number, Re=1946. Thus, it can conclude that, effectiveness for jet impingement cooling system on the convex surface occurs at the highest Reynolds number.
