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.

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.

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.

A series of experimental investigations with stringent measurement methods on the studies related to mixed convection from the horizontally confined extended surfaces with a slot jet impingement have been successfully conducted. The relevant parameters influencing mixed convection performance due to jet impingement and buoyancy include the Grashof number, ratio of jet separation distance to nozzle width, ratio of extended surfaces height to nozzle width and jet Reynolds number. The range of these parameters studied are Grs = 3.77 × 105 – 1.84 × 106, H/W = 1–10, Hs/W = 0.74–3.40 and Re = 63–1383. In the study, the heat transfer behavior on the extended surfaces with confined slot jet impingement such as the temperature distribution, local and average Nusselt numbers on the extended surfaces has been systematically explored. The results manifest that the effect of steady-state Grashof number on heat transfer behavior such as stagnation, local and average Nusselt number is not significant; while the heat transfer performance increases with decreasing jet separation distance or with increasing extended surface height and jet Reynolds number. Besides, two new correlations of local and average Nusselt numbers in terms of H/W, Hs/W and Re are proposed for the cases of extended surfaces. A satisfactory agreement is achieved between the results predicted by these correlations and the experimental data. Finally, a complete composite correlation of steady-state average Nusselt number for mixed convection due to jet impingement and buoyancy is proposed. The comparison of the predictions evaluated by this correlation with all the present experimental data is made. The maximum and average deviations of the predictions from the experimental data are 7.46% and 2.87%, respectively.

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.

A series of experimental investigations with stringent measurement methods on the studies related to fluid flow and transient mixed convection from a horizontally unconfined stationary or rotating ceramic-based MCM disk with unconfined jet impingement have been successfully conducted. The relevant parameters influencing fluid flow and heat transfer performance are (1) mixed convection due to jet impingement and buoyancy: steady-state Grashof number, jet Reynolds number, and ratio of jet separation distance to nozzle diameter; and (2) mixed convection due to jet impingement, disk rotation and buoyancy: steady-state Grashof number, jet Reynolds number (Rej), rotational Reynolds number (Rer), ratio of jet separation distance to nozzle diameter (H/d). The thermal behavior explored includes the transient temperature distribution on the MCM disk surface, transient heat flux distribution of input power, transient convective heat flux distribution of chips, and transient chip and average heat transfer characteristics on the MCM disk surface. Besides, two new correlations of transient stagnation and average Nusselt numbers in terms of Rej, H/d and t are presented for the cases of stationary MCM disk. For the cases of rotating MCM disk, a new empirical correlation to classify two regimes of heat transfer modes such as disk rotation mode and jet impingement mode is presented; and a complete composite correlation of steady-state average Nusselt number for mixed convection due to jet impingement, disk rotation and buoyancy is proposed. As compared with the steady-state results, if the transient chip and average heat transfer behaviors may be considered as a superposition of a series of quasi-steady states, the transient chip and average Nusselt numbers in all the present transient experiments can be properly predicted by the existing steady-state correlations when t > 6 min in the power-on transient period.

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.

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.

Data which illustrate the effects of jet-to-target plate distance and Reynolds number on the heat transfer from an array of jets impinging on a flat plate are presented. Considered are Reynolds numbers Rej ranging from 8,200, to 52,000, with isentropic jet Mach numbers of approximately 0.1 to 0.2. Jet-to-target plate distances Z of 1.5D, 3.0D, 5.0D, and 8.0D are employed, where D is the impingement hole diameter. Steamwise and spanwise hole spacings are 8D. Local and spatially-averaged Nusselt numbers show strong dependence on the impingement jet Reynolds number for all situations examined. Experimental results also illustrate the dependence of local Nusselt numbers on normalized jet-to-target plate distance, especially for smaller values of this quantity. The observed variations are partially due to accumulating cross-flows produced as the jets advect downstream, as well as the interactions of the vortex structures which initially form around the jets, and then impact and interact as they advect away from stagnation points along the impingement target surface. The highest spatially-averaged Nusselt numbers are present for Z/D = 3.0 for Rej of 8,200, 20,900, and 30,000. When Rej = 52,000, spatially-averaged Nusselt numbers increase as Z/D decreases, with the highest value present at Z/D = 1.5.

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.
