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.

Abstract An unsteady local heat transfer in an air synthetic non-steady-state jet impingement onto a flat plate with a variation of the Reynolds number, nozzle-to-plate distance and pulses frequency is experimentally and numerically studied. Measurements of the averaged and pulsating heat transfer at the stagnation point are conducted using a heat flux sensor. The axisymmetric URANS method and the Reynolds stress model are used for numerical simulations. For local values of heat transfer, zones with the maximum instantaneous value of heat flux and heat transfer coefficient are identified. The heat transfer increases at relatively low nozzle-to-plate distances (H/d ≤ 4). The heat transfer decreases at high distance from the orifice and target surface. An increase in the Reynolds number causes reduction of heat transfer.

Equipment used to cool horticultural produce often involves three-phase porous media. The flow field and heat transfer processes that occur in such equipment are generally quantified by means of empirical relationships amongst dimensionless groups. This work represents a first step towards the goal of harnessing the power of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to better understand the heat transfer process that occur in beds of irrigated horticultural produce. The primary objective of the present study is to use numerical predictions towards reducing energy and cooling water requirement in cooling horticultural produce. In this paper, flow and heat transfer predictions are presented of a single slot liquid jet on flat and curved surfaces using a CFD code (FLUENT) for 2-D configurations. The effects of Reynolds number, nozzle to plate spacing, nozzle width and target surface configuration have been studied. Reynolds numbers of 250, 500, 700, 1800 and 1900 are studied where the liquid medium is water. Here, the Reynolds number is defined in terms of the hydraulic nozzle diameter, inlet jet velocity and fluid kinematic viscosity. The results show that Reynolds numbers, nozzle to plate spacing and nozzle width have a significant effect on the flow filed and heat transfer characteristics; whereas the target surface configuration at stagnation area has no substantial impact. The use of a numerical tool has enabled detailed investigation of these characteristics, which have not been available in the literature previously.

Modern industrial combustor liners employ various cooling schemes such as, but not limited to, impingement arrays, trip-strips, and film cooling. With an increasing demand for a higher turbine inlet temperatures and lower emissions, there is less air available to cool the combustor liner. To ensure the required liner durability without compromising engine performance more innovative cooling schemes are required. In the present work, three different cooling concepts, i.e., strip-strips, jet array impingement and dimples, operating at unusually high flow conditions were investigated. There is very little data available in the open literature for the aforementioned cooling schemes in the indicated Reynolds Number range (ReDh>60,000). The wall flow friction characteristics as well as the local heat transfer were measured. The heat transfer coefficients were obtained using a transient liquid crystal technique. The test configurations consisted of a 90° trip-strip surface (only one side turbulated), a fixed staggered array with varying impingement hole sizes, and a fixed staggered dimple pattern. For the Reynolds numbers investigated (26,000< ReDh <360,000), the jet-impingement cooling provided the highest average heat transfer enhancement followed by the trip-strip channel, and then by the dimpled channel. In terms of the overall thermal performance, the dimpled channel tends to stand out as the most effective cooling scheme. This is consistent with findings from other investigators at lower Reynolds numbers.

Abstract Array jet impingement heat transfer onto thin metal foams of different pore densities has been experimentally investigated in the current study. Aluminum foams with high porosity (93%) and different pore densities of 5, 20 and 40 ppi are subjected to array jet impingement under an intermediate crossflow exit scheme. The jets are arranged such that the streamwise jet-to-jet spacing is x/dj = 8 and spanwise jet-to-jet spacing is y/dj = 4. Jet to target plate spacing was maintained at z/dj = 6 where ‘z’ is the distance between the jet plate and the target surface on which metal foams were installed. A steady state heat transfer technique has been used to obtain local heat transfer coefficients along the streamwise direction. It is observed that heat transfer enhancement levels increase as pore density increases. An enhancement of 50–100% over the baseline case of impingement onto smooth surface is obtained over the flow range tested (3000 < Redj < 12000). At a constant pumping power of 40 W, an enhancement of 26–33% is obtained for the different pore densities tested.

This paper presents a numerical study that characterizes the conjugate heat transfer results of a semi–confined liquid jet impingement on a uniformly heated spinning solid disk of finite thickness and radius. The model covers the entire fluid region including the impinging jet on a flat circular disk and flow spreading out downstream under the confined insulated wall that ultimately gets exposed to a free surface boundary condition. The solution is made under steady state and laminar conditions. The model examines how the heat transfer is affected by adding a secondary rotational flow under semi-confined jet impingement. The study considered various standard materials, namely aluminum, copper, silver, Constantan and silicon; covering a range of flow Reynolds number (220–900), under a broad rotational rate range from 0 to 750 rpm, or Ekman number (7.08×10−5 – ∞), nozzle to target spacing (β = 0.25 – 1.0), disk thicknesses to nozzle diameter ratio (b/dn = 0.25 – 1.67), Prandtl number (1.29 – 124.44) using ammonia (NH3), water (H2O), flouroinert (FC-77) and oil (MIL-7808) as working fluids and solid to fluid thermal conductivity ratio (36.91 – 2222). High thermal conductivity plate materials maintained more uniform and lower interface temperature distributions. Higher Reynolds number increased local heat transfer coefficient reducing the interface temperature difference over the entire wall. Rotational rate increases local heat transfer coefficient under most conditions. These findings are important for the design improvement and control of semi-confined liquid jet impingement under a secondary rotation induced motion.

The influence of rotation and jet mass flow rate on the local heat transfer coefficient for a single confined impinging round jet with a fixed jet-to-wall spacing of H/d = 5 was studied for the jet Reynolds number from 6500 to 26,000 and the rotational Reynolds number from 0 to 112,000. The local heat transfer coefficient along the surface is measured and the effect of the rotation on the stagnation (peak) point, local and average Nusselt number, is presented and discussed. Furthermore, a correlation was developed for the average Nusselt number in terms of the parameters of Rej and ReΩ. In general, the combined jet impingement and rotation effect are shown to affect the heat transfer response. Rotation decreases the average Nusselt number values from 15 to 25 percent in outward and inward radial flow, respectively. Finally, comparisons of the present data with existing results for multijets with rotation were also made.

Amid all convective heat transfer augmentation methods employing single phase, jet impingement heat transfer delivers significantly higher coefficient of local heat transfer. The arrangement leading to nine jets in square array has been used to cool a plate maintained at constant heat flux. Numerical study has been carried out using RANS-based turbulence modeling in commercial CFD Fluent software. The turbulent models used for the study are three different “k-ε” models (STD, RNG, and realizable) and SST “k-ω” model. The numerical simulation output is equated with the experimental results to find out the most accurate turbulence model. The impact of variation of Reynolds number, inter-jet spacing, and separation distance has been considered for the geometry considered. These parameters affect the coefficient of heat transfer, temperature, and turbulent kinetic energy related to flow. The local “h” values have been noticed to decline with the rise in separation distance “H/D.” The SST “k-ω” model has been noticed to be in maximum agreement with the experimental results. The average value of heat transfer coefficient “h” reduces from 210 to 193 W/m2K with increase in “H/D” from 6 to 10 at “Re” = 9000 and S/D of 3. As per numerical results, inter-jet spacing “S/D” of 3 has been determined to be the most optimum value.

The local heat transfer from a small heat source to a normally impinging, axisymmetric, and submerged liquid jet, in confined and unconfined configurations, was experimentally investigated. A single jet of FC-77 issuing from a round nozzle impinged onto a square foil heater, which dissipated a constant heat flux. The nozzle and the heat source were both mounted in large round plates to ensure axisymmetric radial outflow of the spent fluid. The local surface temperature of the heat source was measured at different radial locations (r/d) from the center of the jet in fine increments. Results for the local heat transfer coefficient distribution at the heat source are presented as functions of nozzle diameter (0.79 ≤ d ≤ 6.35 mm), Reynolds number (4000 to 23,000), and nozzle-to-heat source spacing (1 ≤ Z/d ≤ 14). Secondary peaks in the local heat transfer observed at r/d ≈ 2 were more pronounced at the smaller (confined) spacings and larger nozzle diameters for a given Reynolds number, and shifted radially outward from the stagnation point as the spacing increased. The secondary-peak magnitude increased with Reynolds number, and was higher than the stagnation value in some instances. Correlations are proposed for the stagnation and average Nusselt numbers as functions of these parameters.
