One significant issue concerning the impingement heat transfer with a jet array is related to the so-called “crossflow”, where a local jet performance is influenced by the convection of the confluence from the impingement of the jet/jets placed upstream. As a result, the heat transfer coefficient may vary along the streamwise direction and creates more or less nonuniform cooling over the component, which is undesirable from both the performance and durability standpoints. Described in this paper is an experimental investigation of the heat transfer coefficient on surfaces impinged by an array of six inline circular jets with their diameters increased monotically along the streamwise direction. The local heat transfer distributions on both the target surface and jet-issuing plate are measured using a transient liquid crystal technique. By varying the jet hole-size in a systematic manner, the actual distribution of jet flow rate and momentum within a jet array may be optimally metered and controlled against crossflow. The effects on the heat transfer coefficient distribution due to variations of jet-to-target distance and inter-jet spacing are investigated. The varying-diameter results are compared with those from a corresponding array of uniform jet diameter.

Local heat transfer in gravity die casting is of great importance for precision in terms of distortion, mechanical properties, and the quality of the castings due to its effect on solidification. Depending on contact conditions such as liquid melt to solid mold, a gap between mold and component, or contact pressure between casting and mold as a result of shrinkage, there are very large differences in heat transfer. The influences of mold material, mold coating and its influence of aging, mold temperature control, and layout on the heat transfer coefficient (HTC) were investigated experimentally for different contact cases. The experiments were carried out on a rotationally symmetrical experimental setup with modular exchangeable die inserts and cores using an AlSi7Mg0.3 alloy. From the results of the individual test series, the quantitative shares of the above-mentioned influencing variables in the respective effective heat transfer coefficients were determined by means of analysis of variance. From this, the parameters having the most significant influence on the local heat balance were derived.

A combined experimental and numerical investigation of the heat transfer characteristics inside an impingement cooled combustor liner heat shield has been conducted. Due to the complexity and irregularity of heat shield configurations, standard correlations for regular impingement fields are insufficient and detailed investigations of local heat transfer enhancement are required. The experiments were carried out in a perspex model of the heat shield using a transient liquid crystal method. Scaling of the model allowed to achieve jet Reynolds numbers of up to Rej=34,000 without compressibility effects. The local air temperature was measured at several positions within the model to account for an exact evaluation of the heat transfer coefficient. Analysis focused on the local heat transfer distribution along the heat shield target plate, side rims, and central bolt recess. The results were compared with values predicted by a standard correlation for a regular impingement array. The comparison exhibited large differences. While local values were up to three times larger than the reference value, the average heat transfer coefficient was approximately 25% lower. This emphasized that standard correlations are not suitable for the design of complex impingement cooling pattern. For thermal optimization the detailed knowledge of the local variation of the heat transfer coefficient is essential. From the present configuration, some concepts for possible optimization were derived. Complementary numerical simulations were carried out using the commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code ANSYS CFX. The motivation was to evaluate whether CFD can be used as an engineering design tool in the optimization of the heat shield configuration. For this, a validation of the numerical results was required, which for the present configuration was achieved by determining the degree of accuracy to which the measured heat transfer rates could be computed. The predictions showed good agreement with the experimental results, both for the local Nusselt number distributions as well as for averaged values. Some overprediction occurred in the stagnation regions, however, the impact on overall heat transfer coefficients was low and average deviations between numerics and experiments were in the order of only 5–20%. The numerical investigation showed that contemporary CFD codes can be used as suitable means in the thermal design process.

It is a relevant objective in thermal physics and in building reciprocating internal combustion engines (RICE) to obtain new information about the thermal-mechanical characteristics of both stationary and pulsating gas flows in a complex gas-dynamic system. The article discusses the physical features of the gas dynamics and heat transfer of flows along the length of a gas-dynamic system typical for RICE exhaust systems. Both an experimental set-up and experimental techniques are described. An indirect method for determining the local heat transfer coefficient of gas flows in pipelines with a constant temperature hot-wire anemometer is proposed. The regularities of changes in the instantaneous values of the flow rate and the local heat transfer coefficient in time for stationary and pulsating gas flows in different elements of the gas-dynamic system are obtained. The regularities of the change in the turbulence number of stationary and pulsating gas flows along the length of RICE gas-dynamic systems are established (it is shown that the turbulence number for a pulsating gas flow is 1.3-2.1 times higher than for a stationary flow). The regularities of changes in the heat transfer coefficient along the length of the engine?s gas-dynamic system for stationary and pulsating gas flows were identified (it was established that the heat transfer coefficient for a stationary flow is 1.05-1.4 times higher than for a pulsating flow). Empirical equations are obtained to determine the turbulence number and heat transfer coefficient along the length of the gas-dynamic system.

The first preliminary tests carried on a new experimental rig for measurement of the local heat transfer coefficient inside a circular 0.8 mm diameter minichannel are presented in this paper. The heat transfer coefficient is measured during condensation of R134a and is obtained from the measurement of the heat flux and the direct gauge of the saturation and wall temperatures. The heat flux is derived from the water temperature profile along the channel, in order to get local values for the heat transfer coefficient. The test section has been designed so as to reduce thermal disturbances and experimental uncertainty. A brief insight into the design and the construction of the test rig is reported in the paper. The apparatus has been designed for experimental tests both in condensation and vaporization, in a wide range of operating conditions and for a wide selection of refrigerants.

Two-phase flow instabilities have been studied during the past decades. Pressure drop oscillation (PDO) shows a relatively larger amplitude oscillation compared with other instabilities. This oscillation typically occurs when the system has compressible volume and operates in a negative slope region of the pressure drop versus flow rate curve. The characteristics of the PDO has been studied experimentally and theoretically. Even though research has been performed for identifying the characteristics of the PDO, how the PDO affects the heat transfer coefficient (HTC) remain unclear. In this study, the heat transfer coefficient is experimentally studied during pressure drop oscillation. The experiment is conducted with a heated horizontal tube with 5 mm inner diameter and 2.0 meters in length, and the R-134a is used a working fluid. For the cases studied, no significant effect of the PDO on the average heat transfer coefficient was observed.

Full-surface heat transfer coefficient distribution measurements have been made using a liquid crystal thermography technique for several cases of normally impinging jet arrays onto a flat, smooth surface within a region bounded on three sides. While the impingement target plate remains of a fixed size, the impingement jet array has been changed to cover a wide range of conditions, extending beyond the currently available literature data. Axial and lateral jet spacing values of x/D and y/D of 3, 6, and 9 have been used, all with square orientation and in-line jets. The jet plate-to-target surface distance z/D has been varied from 1.25 to 5.5. Jet Reynolds numbers ranged from 14,000 to 65,000. In the sparse array limiting case, the number of jet rows is four in the axial direction and three in the lateral direction. For the dense array limiting case, the number of jet rows is 26 in the axial direction and 20 in the lateral direction. Using both heat transfer and pressure distribution measurements, results are compared to the existing correlation of Florschuetz et al. [1], showing excellent agreement in regions of common parameters. In regions not previously reported in the literature, the present study extends the streamwsie row-averaged heat transfer coefficient correlation of [1] with a modified correlation for design use.

In order to achieve a better understanding of the physical mechanism of interaction between free convection and sound, an experimental investigation of the local heat-transfer coefficient around the circumference of a heated horizontal cylinder, both in the presence and absence of a strong stationary sound field, has been carried out. The results show that superposition of intense sound upon the free-convection temperature-velocity field about a heated horizontal cylinder increases the heat-transfer coefficient both on the under and upper portions of the cylinder’s surface. In the presence of a sound field for which SPL = 146 db (re 0.0002 microbar) and f = 1500 cps, the maximum measured increases in the local heat-transfer coefficient on the under and upper portions of a 3/4-in-diam cylinder—relative to the free convection case at the same temperature potential—were found to be approximately 250 and 1200 per cent, respectively. A comparison of these results with earlier flow-visualization studies indicates that the relatively large percentage increase in the heat-transfer coefficient on the upper portion of the cylinder is caused by the oscillating vortex flow which is characteristic of thermoacoustic streaming. The reasons for the increase in the heat-transfer coefficient on the lower portion of the cylinder appear to be: (a) An increase in laminar boundary-layer velocities (steady components) in this region; and (b) modification of the boundary-layer temperature profile due to acoustically induced oscillations (unsteady components) within the laminar boundary layer. The experimental data presented can be used to check the validity of future analytical investigations of thermoacoustic phenomena.

The influence of injection of cooling films through a row of holes on the heat transfer coefficient on a flat plate is investigated for a range of mass flux ratio using a heat-mass transfer analogy. Injection angles of 35 deg and 90 deg are covered. The experimental technique employed uses a swollen polymer surface and laser holographic interferometry. The results presented show the change in local heat transfer coefficient over the no-injection values at the centerline and off-centerline locations for various streamwise stations. The effect of injection on laterally averaged heat transfer coefficients is also assessed.

This paper presents an experimental method for determining the variation of the local heat transfer coefficient around gas turbine blades. The method involves the accurate determination of the distribution of metal surface temperature and the heat transfer coefficient and air coolant temperature in the internal cooling passages of the blade. It is shown that from the solution of Laplace's equation and a numerical differentiation at the blade surface of the resulting two-dimensional temperature field an estimate can be made of the normal temperature gradient in the metal which can be related directly to the local heat transfer coefficient at any point of the blade periphery. The results of experiments on a cascade blade undertaken to demonstrate the method are presented. These results show a clear laminar–turbulent transition on the convex surface of the blade but no transition, as such, is indicated on the concave surface. The magnitude of turbulence in the main stream is shown to have a very marked effect both on the mean level of heat transfer to the blade and on the local variation of the heat transfer coefficient.
