Experiments were conducted to measure the local heat transfer coefficient in the stagnation zone of an upward, free oil jets impinging upon a stationary, heated flat surface. Six tube-style nozzles were used having diameters ranging from 0.864 mm to 3.073 mm. The oil viscosity ratio, based upon the nozzle and surface temperatures, varied from 0.472 to 0.903. The fluids tested included Prandtl numbers ranging from 62 to 142, and by varying the flow rate the Reynolds number ranged from 268 to 3,810. Testing demonstrated that the Reynolds number, which includes the nozzle diameter as the characteristic length, did not account properly for the effect of nozzle diameter on the heat transfer rate. Introduction of the Bond number into the Nusselt number correlation did allow a good correlation for all nozzle diameters.

An analysis has been carried out for the turbulent velocity and thermal boundary layers which develop along a cylinder whose axis is parallel to the free-stream flow. Local and average friction factors are calculated as functions of the length Reynolds number Rex for various cylinder sizes (characterized, by the radius Reynolds number Rer0). For corresponding flow conditions, the friction factor for a cylinder always exceeds that for the flat plate. Local heat-transfer coefficients corresponding to the case of uniform wall heat flux have been obtained for Prandtl numbers of 0.7 and 5. As with the friction factors, the cylinder heat-transfer coefficients exceed those for the flat plate. This effect of the cylindrical geometry on heat transfer diminishes with increasing Prandtl number.

Rib Roughened

Experiments are performed to determine the local heat transfer performance in a rotating serpentine passage with rib-roughened surfaces. The ribs are placed on the trailing and leading walls in a corresponding posited arrangement with an angle of attack of 90 deg. The rib height-to-hydraulic diameter ratio, e/Dh, is 0.0787 and the rib pitch-to-height ratio, s/e, is 11. The throughflow Reynolds number is varied, typically at 23,000, 47,000, and 70,000 in the passage both at rest and in rotation. In the rotation cases, the rotation number is varied from 0.023 to 0.0594. Results for the rib-roughened serpentine passages are compared with those of smooth ones in the literature. Comparison is also made on results for the rib-roughened passages between the stationary and rotating cases. It is disclosed that a significant enhancement is achieved in the heat transfer in both the stationary and rotating cases resulting from an installation of the ribs. Both the rotation and Rayleigh numbers play important roles in the heat transfer performance on both the trailing and leading walls. Although the Reynolds number strongly influences the Nusselt numbers in the rib-roughened passage of both the stationary and rotating cases, Nuo and Nu, respectively, it has little effect on their ratio Nu/Nuo.

Roughened Surface

Abstract Measurements of the local heat transfer distribution on smooth and roughened surfaces under an array of angled impinging jets are presented. The test rig is designed to simulate impingement with cross-flow in one direction which is a common method for cooling gas turbine components such as the combustion liner. Jet angle is varied between 30, 60, and 90 degrees as measured from the impingement surface, which is either smooth or randomly roughened. Liquid crystal video thermography is used to capture surface temperature data at five different jet Reynolds numbers ranging between 15,000 and 35,000. The effect of jet angle, Reynolds number, gap, and surface roughness on heat transfer efficiency and pressure loss is determined along with the various interactions among these parameters. Peak heat transfer coefficients for the range of Reynolds number from 15,000 to 35,000 are highest for orthogonal jets impinging on roughened surface; peak Nu values for this configuration ranged from 88 to 165 depending on Reynolds number. The ratio of peak to average Nu is lowest for 30-degree jets impinging on roughened surfaces. It is often desirable to minimize this ratio in order to decrease thermal gradients, which could lead to thermal fatigue. High thermal stress can significantly reduce the useful life of engineering components and machinery. Peak heat transfer coefficients decay in the cross-flow direction by close to 24% over a dimensionless length of 20. The decrease of spanwise average Nu in the crossflow direction is lowest for the case of 30-degree jets impinging on a roughened surface where the decrease was less than 3%. The decrease is greatest for 30-degree jet impingement on a smooth surface where the stagnation point Nu decreased by more than 23% for some Reynolds numbers.

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.

Free Stream Turbulence

Experiments involving both heat-transfer and turbulence-field measurements were performed to determine the influence of free-stream turbulence on the local heat transfer from a sphere situated in a forced-convection airflow. The research was facilitated by a miniature heat-flux sensor which could be positioned at any circumferential location on the equator of the sphere. Turbulence grids were employed to generate free-stream turbulence with intensities of up to 9.4 percent. The Reynolds-number range of the experiments was from 20,000 to 62,000. The results indicate that the local heat flux in the forward region of the sphere is uninfluenced by free-stream turbulence levels of up to about 5 percent. For higher turbulence levels, the heat-flux increases with the turbulence intensity, the greatest heat-flux augmentation found here being about 15 percent. Furthermore, at the higher turbulence intensities, there appears to be a departure from the half-power Reynolds-number dependence of the stagnation-point Nusselt number. Turbulent separation occurred at Reynolds numbers of 42,000 and 62,000 for a turbulence level of 9.4 percent, these values being well below the transition Reynolds number of 2 × 105 for a sphere situated in a low-turbulence flow.

This report describes the detailed experimental study to characterize the local heat transfer coefficient distribution over the internal cooling passages of a simplified generic airfoil. The airfoil is manufactured through additive manufacturing based on actual geometry and dimensions (1X scale model) of row one airfoil, applicable in large gas turbine system. At the mainbody section, the serpentine channel consists of three passages without any surface features or vortex generators. Both the leading edge and trailing edge sections are subjected to direct impingement. The trailing edge section is divided into three chambers, separated by two rows of blockages. This study employs the well-documented transient liquid crystal technique, where the local heat transfer coefficient on both pressure and suction sides is deduced. The experiments were performed at varying Reynolds number, ranging from approximately 31,000–63,000. The heat transfer distribution on the pressure side and suction side is largely comparable in the first and third pass, except for the second pass. Highest heat transfer occurs at the trailing edge region, which is ultimately dominated by impingement due to the presence of three rows of blockages. A cursory numerical calculation is performed using commercially available software, ANSYS CFX to obtain detailed flow field distribution within the airfoil, which explains the heat transfer behavior at each passage. The flow parameter results revealed that the pressure ratio is strongly proportional with increasing Reynolds number.
