Impinging jets are well renowned for their abilities to achieve significantly high heat transfer coefficients. It has been found in previous studies that the incorporation of a swirl in the flow can enhance heat transfer but it can also decrease it. The objective of this research is to discover the defining characteristics of swirling impinging jets and to find an optimal swirl geometry for enhancing the heat transfer of the system. Using thermal imaging and hot film sensor techniques the heat transfer distribution of the swirling jet is examined in the context of the flow field; heat flux fluctuations at the impinging surface are investigated also.

The results of a study of a new and unique high-performance air-cooled impingement heat sink are presented. An extensive numerical investigation of the heat sink performance is conducted and is verified by experimental data. The study is relevant to cooling of high-power chips and modules in air-cooled environments and applies to workstations or mainframes. In the study, a rectangular jet impinges on a set of parallel fins and then turns into cross flow. The effects of the fin thickness, gap nozzle width and fin shape on the heat transfer and pressure drop are investigated. It is found that pressure drop is reduced by cutting the fins in the central impingement zone without sacrificing the heat transfer due to a reduction in the extent of the stagnant zone. A combination of fin thicknesses of the order of 0.5 mm and channel gaps of 0.8 mm with appropriate central cutout yielded heat transfer coefficients over 1500 W/m2 K at a pressure drop of less than 100 N/m2, as is typically available in high-end workstations. A detailed study of flow-through heat sinks subject to the same constraints as the impingement heat sink showed that the flow-through heat sink could not achieve the high heat transfer coefficients at a low pressure drop.

Heat transfer to an evaporating refrigerant and/or dielectric liquid in a microgap channel can provide very high heat transfer coefficients and volumetric cooling rates. Recent studies at Maryland have established the dominance of the annular flow regime in such microgap channels and related the observed high-quality peak of an M-shaped heat transfer coefficient curve to the onset of local dryout. The present study utilizes infrared thermography to locate such nascent dryout regions and operating conditions. Data obtained with a 210 micron microgap channel, operated with a mass flux of 195.2 kg/m2-s and heat fluxes of 10.3 to 26 W/cm2 are presented and discussed.

A laser-based method has been developed to measure the thickness of the liquid microlayer between a cap-shaped sliding bubble and an inclined heated wall. Sliding vapor bubbles are known to create high heat transfer coefficients along the surfaces against which they slide. The details of this process remain unclear and depend on the evolution of the microlayer that forms between the bubble and the surface. Past experiments have used heat transfer measurements on uniform-heat-generation surfaces to infer the microlayer thickness through an energy balance. These studies have produced measurements of 20–100 μm for refrigerants and for water, but they have yet to be confirmed by a direct measurement that does not depend on a first-law closure. The results presented here are direct measurements of the microlayer thickness made from a reflectance-based fiber-optic laser probe. Details of the construction and calibration of the probe are presented. Data for saturated FC-87 and a uniform-temperature surface inclined at 2 deg to 15 deg from the horizontal are reported. Millimeter-sized spherical bubbles of FC-87 vapor were injected near the lower end of a uniformly heated aluminum plate. The laser probe yielded microlayer thicknesses of 22–55 μm for cap-shaped bubbles. Bubble Reynolds numbers range from 600 to 4800, Froude numbers from 0.9 to 1.7, and Weber numbers from 2.6 to 47. The microlayer thickness above cap-shaped bubbles was correlated to a function of inclination angle and a bubble shape factor. The successful correlation suggests that this data set can be used to validate the results of detailed models of the microlayer dynamics.

High Heat Transfer

Heat transfer in fluids is very important in many industrial heating and cooling equipments. Convective heat transfer can be enhanced passively by changing flow geometry, boundary conditions or by increasing thermal conductivity of the fluid. Another possibility to increase heat transfer with gas is to employ extended surfaces. When gas flows in a tube, septa with one or more openings can be used as fins. Furthermore, if the openings are arranged to give a spiral motion around the cylinder axis wall-fluid contact area increases. As a consequence the presence of the septa can significantly augment pressure drops. In this paper a numerical investigation is carried out on forced convection in circular isothermal tubes. The fluid is air and ideal gas model is employed. Septa are introduced and several shapes and arrangements are analyzed. The investigation is accomplished by means of the commercial code Fluent. A turbulence model is used. Results are presented in terms of temperature and velocity fields, local and average heat transfer coefficients and pressure drops. The aim of this study is to find the shape and arrangement of septa such to give high heat transfer coefficients and low pressure drops.

High Heat Transfer

Large heat transfer rates are always desired for rocket propulsion applications as high heat loads are associated at the nozzle exit. Different strategies have been employed in order to have high heat transfer coefficients including use of liquid nitrogen, spray cooling etc. ISRO has planned to use aluminium based nano-particles with kerosene in order to cool launching vehicles including GSLV Mk III as it is the heaviest rocket that can carry large payloads. Recently, ISRO has announced to install its own International Space Station (ISS) in future and in such applications larger payloads are to be carried by the rocket. In this work, an analytical study on the thermodynamic properties of the aluminium nano-particles based kerosene nanofluid has been done and an attempt has also been made to develop a temperature and pressure dependent correlation that can be used in computational analysis of thrust chambers while film/regenerative cooling.

Microgrooved Surface

This paper investigates the heat transfer and pressure drop analysis of micro grooved surfaces utilized in evaporators and condensers of a two-phase flow cooling loop. These devices utilize the vapor-liquid phase change to transfer large amounts of heat, and they offer substantially higher heat flux performance with lower pumping power than most liquid cooling technologies. Microgrooved surfaces, combined with force-fed evaporation and condensation technology discussed in this paper yield high heat transfer coefficients with low pressure drops. Our most recent results, aiming to test the limits of the technology, demonstrated dissipation of almost 1kW/cm2 from silicon electronics using HFE 7100 as the working fluid. In a compact two phase system, the heat generated by the electronic components can be absorbed by microgrooved evaporators and rejected through the microgrooved surface condensers to liquid cooled slots with high heat transfer coefficients and low pressure drops on the refrigerant side. In the case of air-cooling, the same microgrooved surface heat exchanger can reject heat with a heat transfer coefficient of 3847 W/cm2 and a pressure drop of 4156 Pa. These heat transfer processes have the added capability of being combined and used together in a self-contained system cooled either by liquid or air.

Turbulent Water

Heat transfer enhancement technology has the aim of developing more efficient systems as demanded in many applications. An available passive method is represented by the employ of rough surfaces. Transversal turbulators enhance the heat transfer rate by reducing the thermal resistance near surfaces, because of the improved local turbulence; on the other hand, higher losses are expected. In this paper, a numerical investigation is carried out on turbulent water forced convection in a ribbed channel. Its external walls are heated by a constant heat flux. Several arrangements of ribs in terms of height, width, and shape are analyzed. The aim is to find the optimal configuration in terms of high heat transfer coefficients and low losses. The maximum average Nusselt numbers are evaluated for dimensionless pitches of 6, 8, and 10 according to the shape while the maximum friction factors are in the range of pitches from 8 to 10.

The Individual

Turbine vanes are generally manufactured as single- or double-airfoil sections that are assembled into a full turbine disk. The gaps between the individual sections, as well as a gap between the turbine disk and the combustor upstream, provide leakage paths for relatively higher-pressure coolant flows. This leakage is intended to prevent ingestion of the hot combustion flow in the primary gas path. At the vane endwall, this leakage flow can interfere with the complex vortical flow present there and thus affect the heat transfer to that surface. To determine the effect of leakage flow through the gaps, heat transfer coefficients were measured along a first-stage vane endwall and inside the midpassage gap for a large-scale cascade with a simulated combustor-turbine interface slot and a midpassage gap. For increasing combustor-turbine leakage flows, endwall surface heat transfer coefficients showed a slight increase in heat transfer. The presence of the midpassage gap, however, resulted in high heat transfer near the passage throat where flow is ejected from that gap. Computational simulations indicated that a small vortex created at the gap flow ejection location contributed to the high heat transfer. The measured differences in heat transfer for the various midpassage gap flowrates tested did not appear to have a significant effect.

Thermal Imaging System

Impingement heat transfer is considered as heat transfer enhancement technique. Impinging jets are used in many applications where high heat transfer rates are required. An experimental study was conducted to investigate heat transfer under impingement of a multiple circular jet array with longitudinal perforated rib surfaces (LPRS) and longitudinal solid rib surfaces (LSRS). Heat transfer results were obtained using an infrared thermal imaging technique. The equipment for the experiments consist of blower, frequency controller, plenum section, impinging jet plate, Dantec 2D LDA system, 3-D traverse system, an infrared thermal imaging system, and LabVIEW software system. In order to generate the impinging jets, circular sharp-edged holes are used. A 3×5 array of jets is issued from the nozzles through the orifice plate. Fifteen in-line jet-nozzles are equally spaced over the orifice plate with the jet diameter (d) of 5mm. The impingement section is open on all four sides providing free outflow of the spent air. The heat transfer results of the rib surfaces are compared with those of a smooth plate. Best heat transfer performance was obtained with the LPRS arrangements.

Cooling Passage

Detailed measurements of the heat transfer coefficient (htc) distributions on the internal surfaces of a novel gas turbine blade cooling configuration were carried out using a transient liquid crystal technique. The cooling geometry, in which a series of racetrack passages are connected to a central plenum, provides high heat transfer coefficients in regions of the blade in good thermal contact with the outer blade surface. The Reynolds number changes along its length because of the ejection of fluid through a series of 19 transfer holes in a staggered arrangement, which are used to connect ceramic cores during the casting process. Heat transfer coefficient distributions on these holes surface are particularly important in the prediction of blade life, as are heat transfer coefficients within the hole. The results at passage inlet Reynolds numbers of 21,667, 45,596, and 69,959 are presented along with in-hole htc distributions at Rehole=5930, 12,479, 19,147; and suction ratios of 0.98, 1.31, 2.08, and 18.67, respectively. All values are engine representative. Characteristic regions of high heat transfer downstream of the transfer holes were observed with enhancement of up to 92% over the Dittus–Boelter level. Within the transfer holes, the average htc level was strongly affected by the cross-flow at the hole entrance. htc levels were low in these short (l/d=1.5) holes fed from regions of developed boundary layer.
