An efficient way to improve the efficiency of the aero engine is to increase the temperature of the turbine inlet, which requires more advanced turbine cooling techniques. The dimple heat transfer enhancement is a technique that can enhance the convective heat transfer of the surfaces by processing a certain arrangement of jet holes and dimples on the surfaces. The objective of this paper is to investigate the characteristics of heat transfer and pressure loss for an inline array of round jets impinging on the side of dimpled surface. Meanwhile, the results are compared to those of the impingement directly over the dimples and the flat surface. The investigated parameters are Reynolds number (Re) of 5000, 8000 and 11500, the ratio of jet-to-plate spacing to jet diameter (H/Dj) of 2, 4, 6 and 8, the ratio of dimple depth to dimple diameter (d/Dd) of 0.15, 0.25 and 0.29. Results show that increasing the Reynolds number can improve the heat transfer. The shallower dimples enhance higher heat transfer than the deeper ones. For the target surface, the side impingement conducts the highest improvement at H/Dj = 8, d/Dd = 0.15 and Re = 11500. The improvement is about 16% higher than that of the frontal impingement while this value is 7% when compared to the flat surface. However, for the jet surface at the same operating condition, the side impingement leads to the worst heat transfer performance by 25% and 15% lower than that of the frontal impingement and the flat surface, respectively. The higher Reynolds number causes higher total pressure loss. But the pressure loss coefficient of the side impingement is not significantly different from that of the frontal impingement and the flat surface.

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.

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.

Abstract Nanoliquid impingement heat transfer with phase change material (PCM) installed radial system is considered. Study is performed by using finite element method for various values of Reynolds numbers (100 ≤ Re ≤ 300), height of PCM (0.25H ≤ hpcm = 0.7H ≤ 0.75H) and plate spacing (0.15H ≤ hpcm = 0.7H ≤ 0.40H). Different configurations with using water, nanoliquid and nanoliquid+PCM are compared in terms of heat transfer improvement. Thermal performance is improved by using PCM while best performance is achieved with nanoliquid and PCM installed configuration. At Re=100 and Re=300, heat transfer improvements of 26% and 25.5% are achieved with nanoliquid+PCM system as compared to water without PCM. Height of the PCM layer also influences the heat transfer dynamic behavior while there is 12.6% variation in the spatial average heat transfer of the target surface with the lowest and highest PCM height while discharging time increases by about 76.5%. As the spacing between the plates decreases, average heat transfer rises and there is 38% variation.

Transfer Behavior

Experimental studies on heat transfer and flow structure in confined impingement jets were performed. The objective of this study was to investigate the detailed heat transfer coefficient distribution on the jet impingement target surface and flow structure in the confined cavity. The distribution of heat transfer coefficients on the target surface was obtained by employing the transient liquid crystal method coupled with a 3-D inverse transient conduction scheme under Reynolds number ranging from 1039 to 5175. The results show that the average heat transfer coefficients increased linearly with the Reynolds number as Nu = 0.00304 Pr0.42Re. The effects of cross flow on heat transfer were investigated. The flow structure were analyzed to gain insight into convective heat transfer behavior.

Cooling Air

The effect of rotation on jet impingement cooling is experimentally investigated in this study. Pressurized cooling air is supplied to a smooth, square channel in the radial outward direction. To model leading edge impingement in a gas turbine, jets are formed from a single row of discrete holes. The cooling air from the first pass is expelled through the holes, with the jets impinging on a semi-circular, concave surface. The inlet Reynolds number varied from 10000–40000 in the square supply channel. The rotation number and buoyancy parameter varied from 0–1.4 and 0–6.6 near the inlet of the channel, and as coolant is extracted for jet impingement, the rotation and buoyancy numbers can exceed 10 and 500 near the end of the passage. The average jet Reynolds number varied from 6000–24000, and the jet rotation number varied from 0–0.13. For all test cases, the jet-to-jet spacing (s/djet = 4), the jet-to-target surface spacing (l/djet = 3.2), and the impingement surface diameter-to-diameter (D/djet = 6.4) were held constant. A steady state technique was implemented to determine regionally averaged Nusselt numbers on the leading and trailing surfaces inside the supply channel and three spanwise locations on the concave target surface. It was observed that in all rotating test cases, the Nusselt numbers deviated from those measured in a non-rotating channel. The degree of separation between the leading and trailing surface increased with increasing rotation number. Near the inlet of the channel, heat transfer was dominated by entrance effects, however moving downstream, the local rotation number increased and the effect of rotation was more pronounced. The effect of rotation on the target surface was most clearly seen in the absence of crossflow. With pure jet impingement, the deflection of the impinging jet combined with the rotation induced secondary flows offered increased mixing within the impingement cavity and enhanced heat transfer. In the presence of strong crossflow of the spent air, the same level of heat transfer is measured in both the stationary and rotating channels.

Abstract Heat transfer from an isothermally hot flat surface due to swirling coaxial turbulent jet impingement is investigated numerically. The coaxial jet construction consists of implanting a thin-walled round tube inside a coaxial outer pipe. Two different fluid streams or jets, having different average velocities, flow through the inner tube, and the annular space between the inner tube and the outer pipe. The ratio of the average velocities of the jets, the ratio of the pipe diameters, the jet exit Reynolds number, the strength of the swirl, and the separation distance from the jet exit to the impingement surface are the main parameters for this flow configuration. The effects of the swirl strength on the jet impingement heat transfer at the target surface are investigated by computing the flow and thermal fields for various combinations of the problem parameters. The presented results contain the plots of the flow streamlines, the contours of the temperature, the contours of the swirl velocity, as well as the distribution of the local and average Nusselt number on the impingement surface. It is found that, compared to the single round jet, the coaxial jet produces enhanced and more uniform heat transfer at the heated surface. The jet-spreading and mixing are affected by the imposed jet swirl which modifies the heat transfer process. Thus, the heat transfer compared to a non-swirling jet is either enhanced or diminished depending on the combination of the problem parameters.

Abstract Numerical simulation results of flow and heat transfer resulting from a confined, submerged liquid jet impinging on a planar oscillating surface are presented here. Laminar jets are employed in places where space and pumping capacity constraints exist (for example, in electronics cooling). However, in a laminar single jet, the cooled region due to the jet is small and is concentrated in the stagnation zone. One way to potentially enhance the heat transfer in a laminar jet impingement arrangement is by oscillating the heated impingement surface. This work extends the previous fluid dynamics analysis (by the same author) by a description and quantification heat transfer in such an arrangement. The problem is studied with respect to two parameters governing jet impingement :Jet Reynolds Number, distance from the jet inlet to the impinging wall (z/d ratios) and a parameter characterizing oscillation : the oscillatory peak Reynolds Number. OpenFOAM (foam-extend 3.2), an open-source CFD code based on the finite volume method is used to solve the problem. Quantification of discretization uncertainty is done by employing the Grid Convergence Index Method (GCI). The transport of the vortex structures formed due to the confined arrangement of the jets and due to the oscillation of the target wall has a strong influence on the temperature distribution on the target surface. The enhancement in heat transfer is estimated as a ratio of the Nusselt Numbers cases with oscillation to corresponding cases without oscillation. It is shown that the heat transfer enhancement is a strong function of the jet and the oscillatory parameters considered.

In this study, effects of extended jet holes to heat transfer and flow characteristics of jet impingement cooling were numerically investigated. Cross-flow in the impinging jet cooling adversely affects the heat transfer on the target surface. The main purpose of this study is to reduce the negative effect of cross-flow on heat transfer by extending jet holes toward the target surface with nozzles. This study has been conducted under turbulent flow condition (15,000 ≤ Re  ≤  45,000). The surface of the turbine blade, which is the target surface, has been modeled as a flat plate. The effect of the ribs, placed on the target surface, on the heat transfer has been also investigated, and the results were compared with the flat surface. The parameters such as average and local Nusselt numbers on the target surface, flow characteristics, and compressor power have been examined in detail. It was obtained from the numerical results that the average Nusselt number increases with decreasing the gap between the target surface and the nozzle. In addition, the higher average Nusselt number was obtained on the flat surface than the ribbed surface. The lowest compressor power was achieved in the 5Dj nozzle gap for the flat surface and in the 4Dj nozzle gap for the ribbed surface.

In present study, an experimental investigation has been carried out to analyze the heat transfer characteristics of CuO-water nanofluids jets on a hot surface. A rectangular stainless steel foil (AISI-304, 0.15 mm thick) is used as a test surface is electrically heated to obtain the required initial temperature. The distribution of heat flux on the target surface is evaluated from the recorded thermal images during transient cooling. The effect of nanoparticle concentration and Reynolds number of the nanofluids jet impingement heat transfer characteristics is studied. Tests were performed for an initial surface temperature of 500°C, Reynolds number (5000≤Re≤13000), CuO-water nanofluids concentration (Φ= 0.15%, 0.6%) and nozzle to plate distance was l/d= 4.

Single Turn

The heat transfer distributions for flow passing through a two-pass (one-turn) and a three-pass (two-turn) passages with 180-degree sharp turns are studied by using the analogous naphthalene mass transfer technique. Both passages have square cross-section and length-to-height ratio of 8. The passage surface, including top wall, side walls and partition walls, is divided into 26 segments for the two-pass passage and 40 segments for the three-pass passage. Mass transfer results are presented for each segment along with regional and overall averages. The very non-uniform mass transfer coefficients measured around a sharp 180-degree turn exhibit the effects of flow separation, reattachment and impingement, in addition to secondary flows. Results of the three-pass passage indicate that heat transfer characteristics around the second turn is virtually the same as that around the first turn. This may imply that, in a multiple-pass passage, heat transfer at the first turn has already reached the thermally developed (periodic) condition. Over the entire two-pass passage, the heat transfer enhancement induced by the single-turn is about 45% to 65% of the fully developed values in a straight channel. Such a heat transfer enhancement decreases with an increase in Reynolds number. In addition, overall heat transfer of the three-pass passage is approximately 15% higher than that of the two-pass one. This 15% increase appears to be Reynolds number independent. The pressure loss induced by the sharp turns is found to be very significant. Within the present testing range, the pressure loss coefficient for both passages varies significantly with the Reynolds number.
