Various kinds of impinging jets are used widely in many industry fields, such as the cooling of a heated plate or electronic components, drying of textiles, film, and paper because of their high heat and mass transfer rates at and near the stagnation point. Many studies on impinging jets from circular and orifice nozzles have been made [1]–[6]. It is well known that as nozzle-plate spacing decreases considerably the heat transfer rate becomes much larger, for example the maximum heat transfer rate of a circular impinging air jet with a low nozzle-plate spacing h/d = 0.1 (d: nozzle exit diameter) and Reynolds number Re = umd/ν = 2.3 × 104 is about 2.17 times of that for h/d = 0.2, but at the same time the flow resistance or operating power of the nozzle-plate system increases considerably. In order to improve or enhance the heat transfer rate, it is needed to increase the impinging mean and fluctuating velocities without increasing the operating power. To achieve this object it is considered to use a resonance jet. In this paper, the flow, acoustic and heat transfer characteristics of resonance free, impinging and wall jets are made clear experimentally. Moreover, flow visualization of the water jet flow by a tracer method is also made to examine the vortex structure at the shear layer and inside the resonance room. As a result, the heat transfer rate of the impinging jet by a resonance nozzle can be improved and enhanced considerably.

Impinging jets are widely used to achieve a high local convective heat flux, with applications in high power density electronics and various other industrial fields. The heat transfer to steady impinging jets has been extensively researched, yet the understanding of pulsating impinging jets remains incomplete. Although some studies have shown a significant enhancement compared to steady jets, others have shown reductions in heat transfer rate, without consensus on the heat transfer mechanisms that determine this behavior. This study investigates the local convective heat transfer to a pulsating air jet from a long straight circular pipe nozzle impinging onto a smooth planar surface (nozzle-to-surface spacing 1 ≤ H/D ≤ 6, Reynolds numbers 6000 ≤ Re ≤ 14,000, pulsation frequency 9 Hz ≤ f ≤ 55Hz, Strouhal number 0.007 ≤ Sr = fD/Um ≤ 0.1). A different behavior is observed for the heat transfer enhancement in (i) the stagnation zone, (ii) the wall jet region and overall area average. Two different modified Strouhal numbers have been identified to scale the heat transfer enhancement in both regions: (i) Sr(H/D) and (ii) SrRe0.5. The average heat transfer rate increases by up to 75–85% for SrRe0.5 ≅ 8 (Sr = 0.1, Re = 6000), independent of nozzle-to-surface spacing. The stagnation heat transfer rate increases with nozzle-to-surface distance H/D. For H/D = 1 and low pulsation frequency (Sr < 0.025), a reduction in stagnation point heat transfer rate by 13% is observed, increasing to positive enhancements for Sr(H/D) > 0.1 up to a maximum enhancement of 48% at Sr(H/D) = 0.6.

In this modern era, nanofluids are considered one of the advanced kinds of heat transferring fluids due to their enhanced thermal features. The present study is conducted to investigate that how the suspension of molybdenum-disulfide (MoS2) nanoparticles boosts the thermal performance of a Casson-type fluid. Sodium alginate (NaAlg) based nanofluid is contained inside a vertical channel of width d and it exhibits a flow due to the movement of the left wall. The walls are nested in a permeable medium, and a uniform magnetic field and radiation flux are also involved in determining flow patterns and thermal behavior of the nanofluid. Depending on velocity boundary conditions, the flow phenomenon is examined for three different situations. To evaluate the influence of shape factor, MoS2 nanoparticles of blade, cylinder, platelet, and brick shapes are considered. The mathematical modeling is performed in the form of non-integer order operators, and a double fractional analysis is carried out by separately solving Caputo-Fabrizio and Atangana-Baleanu operators based fractional models. The system of coupled PDEs is converted to ODEs by operating the Laplace transformation, and Zakian’s algorithm is applied to approximate the Laplace inversion numerically. The solutions of flow and energy equations are presented in terms of graphical illustrations and tables to discuss important physical aspects of the observed problem. Moreover, a detailed inspection on shear stress and Nusselt number is carried out to get a deep insight into skin friction and heat transfer mechanisms. It is analyzed that the suspension of MoS2 nanoparticles leads to ameliorating the heat transfer rate up to 9.5%. To serve the purpose of achieving maximum heat transfer rate and reduced skin friction, the Atangana-Baleanu operator based fractional model is more effective. Furthermore, it is perceived that velocity and energy functions of the nanofluid exhibit significant variations because of the different shapes of nanoparticles.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of geometrical parameters, eccentricity and perforated fins on natural convection heat transfer in a finned horizontal annulus using three-dimensional lattice Boltzmann flux solver. Design/methodology/approach Three-dimensional lattice Boltzmann flux solver is used in the present study for simulating conjugate heat transfer within an annulus. D3Q15 and D3Q7 models are used to solve the fluid flow and temperature field, respectively. The finite volume method is used to discretize mass, momentum and energy equations. The Chapman–Enskog expansion analysis is used to establish the connection between the lattice Boltzmann equation local solution and macroscopic fluxes. To improve the accuracy of the lattice Boltzmann method for curved boundaries, lattice Boltzmann equation local solution at each cell interface is considered to be independent of each other. Findings It is found that the maximum heat transfer rate occurs at low fin spacing especially by increasing the fin height and decreasing the internal-cylindrical distance. The effect of inner cylinder eccentricity is not much considerable (up to 5.2% enhancement) while the impact of fin eccentricity is more remarkable. Negative fin eccentricity further enhances the heat transfer rate compared to a positive fin eccentricity and the maximum heat transfer enhancement of 91.7% is obtained. The influence of using perforated fins is more considerable at low fin spacing although some heat transfer enhancements are observed at higher fin spacing. Originality/value The originality of this paper is to study three-dimensional natural convection in a finned-horizontal annulus using three-dimensional lattice Boltzmann flux solver, as well as to apply symmetry and periodic boundary conditions and to analyze the effect of eccentric annular fins (for the first time for air) and perforated annular fins (for the first time so far) on the heat transfer rate.

Abstract Heat exchangers are devices that typically transfer heat between two fluids. The performance of a heat exchanger such as heat transfer rate and pressure loss strongly depends on the flow regime in the heat transfer system. In this paper, we present a density-based topology optimization method for a two-fluid heat exchange system, which achieves a maximum heat transfer rate under fixed pressure loss. We propose a representation model accounting for three states, i.e., two fluids and a solid wall between the two fluids, by using a single design variable field. The key aspect of the proposed model is that mixing of the two fluids can be essentially prevented. This is because the solid constantly exists between the two fluids due to the use of the single design variable field. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method through three-dimensional numerical examples in which an optimized design is compared with a simple reference design, and the effects of design conditions (i.e., Reynolds number, Prandtl number, design domain size, and flow arrangements) are investigated.

An experimental investigation of the impinging jet cooling from a heated flat plate has been carried out for several Reynolds numbers (Re) and nozzle to plate distances. The present results indicate that the maximum heat transfer occurs from the heated plate at stagnation point and decreases with radial distances for all cases. The maximum value of the stagnation as well as average Nusselt number is found to occur at separation distance, H/D = 6.0 for Re = 55000. An attempt is also made to study effects of nozzle exit configuration on the heat transfer using a sharp edged orifice for same set of Reynolds numbers and nozzle to plate distance. The stagnation Nusselt numbers of sharp orifice jets are found to be enhanced by around 16–21.4% in comparison to that of square edged orifice. However, the enhancement in the average Nusselt number of sharp orifice is found to be in the range of 7–18.9% as compared to the square edged orifice. The maximum enhancement of 18.9% in average Nu is achieved for Re = 55 000 at H/D = 6. Two separate correlations in terms of Nuo, Re, H/D for both square and sharp edged orifice are obtained which will be useful for designing impinging cooling system.
