In this study obtaining a uniform heat flux over a target surface was investigated by means of using characteristics of jet impingement heat transfer. Conjugate Gradients Method (CGM) was utilized to minimize the objective function defined on the basis of the squared differences between the target heat flux and the calculated ones. Design variables were taken to be jets’ Reynolds numbers, separation distance between the exit plane of the jets and the target plate, as well as inter-jet spacing. Air single phase jets were used in this study. The problem was solved for the cases of 4 and 6 jets. Temperature difference between the jet exit and the target plate is 100°C, and a steady state condition was assumed. The Finite Volume Method and an unstructured mesh were used for direct solution of the jet impingement heat transfer problem for a laminar jets impingement to a flat plate with constant temperature.

In this paper, a previously developed analytic solution is applied to the conjugate heat transfer problem of jet impingement cooling of a microelectronic chip. The analysis is used to predict the surface temperature and heat flux distributions of a chip cooled by a laminar impinging FC-77 liquid or water jet with uniform heat flux dissipation at the heated bottom of the chip. Results are presented for two jet diameters of 0.5 and 1 mm. It is shown that, for a constant Reynolds number, the surface temperature is lower when the jet diameter is smaller. On the other hand, when the jet diameter is increased, the surface temperature and heat flux distributions are more uniform. Water jet impingement cooling shows much lower surface temperature and much higher heat transfer coefficient than FC-77 jet cooling. The thermal resistance for FC-77 liquid jet is 6 times larger than that for a water jet.

Submerged jet impingement boiling has the potential to enhance pool boiling heat transfer rates. In most practical situations, the surface could consist of multiple heat sources that dissipate heat at different rates resulting in a surface heat flux that is non-uniform. This paper discusses the effect of submerged jet impingement on the wall temperature characteristics and heat transfer for a non-uniform heat flux. A mini-jet is caused to impinge on a polished silicon surface from a nozzle having an inner diameter of 1.16 mm. A 25.4 mm diameter thin-film circular serpentine heater, deposited on the bottom of the silicon wafer, is used to heat the surface. Deionized degassed water is used as the working fluid and the jet and pool are subcooled by 20°C. Voltage drop between sensors leads drawn from the serpentine heater are used to identify boiling events. Heater surface temperatures are determined using infrared thermography. High-speed movies of the boiling front are recorded and used to interpret the surface temperature contours. Local heat transfer coefficients indicate significant enhancement upto radial locations of 2.6 jet diameters for a Reynolds number of 2580 and upto 6 jet diameters for a Reynolds number of 5161.
