An experimental study using Liquid crystal thermography technique is conducted to study the convective heat transfer enhancement in jet impingement cooling in the presence of porous media. Aluminium porous sample of 10 PPI with permeability 2.48e−7 and porosity 0.95 is used in the present study. Results are presented for two different Reynolds number 400 and 700 with four different configurations of jet impingement (1) without porous foams (2) over porous heat sink (3) with porous obstacle case (4) through porous passage. Jet impingement with porous heat sink showed a deterioration in average Nusselt number by 10.5% and 18.1% for Reynolds number of 400 and 700 respectively when compared with jet impingement without porous heat sink configuration. The results show that for Reynolds number 400, jet impingement through porous passage augments average Nusselt number by 30.73% whereas obstacle configuration enhances the heat transfer by 25.6% over jet impingement without porous medium. Similarly for Reynolds number 700, the porous passage configuration shows average Nusselt number enhancement by 71.09% and porous obstacle by 33.4 % over jet impingement in the absence of porous media respectively.

An experimental study using the liquid crystal thermography technique is conducted to investigate the convective heat transfer performance in jet impingement cooling using various porous media configurations. Aluminum porous foams are used in the present study. Four impinging jet configurations are considered: jet impingement (1) without porous media, (2) over the porous heat sink, (3) with porous obstacle case, and (4) through porous passage. These configurations are evaluated on the basis of the convective heat transfer enhancement for two different Reynolds numbers of 400 and 700. Jet impingement with porous heat sink showed deterioration in the average Nusselt number by 9.95% and 18.04% compared to jet impingement without porous media configuration for Reynolds numbers of 400 and 700, respectively. Jet impingement with porous obstacles showed a very negligible enhancement in the average Nusselt number by 3.48% and 2.73% for Reynolds numbers of 400 and 700, respectively. However, jet impingement through porous passage configuration showed a maximum enhancement in the average Nusselt number by 52.71% and 74.68% and stagnation Nusselt numbers by 58.08% and 53.80% compared to the jet impingement without porous medium for Reynolds numbers of 400 and 700, respectively. Within the porous properties considered, it is observed that by decreasing the permeability and porosity the convective heat transfer performance tends to increase.

Abstract Heat transfer over rotating surfaces is of particular interest in rotating machinery such as gas turbine engines. The rotation of the gas turbine disc creates a radially outward flow on the disc surface, which may lead to ingress of hot gases into the narrow cavity between the disc and the stator. Impingement of cooling jet is an effective way of cooling the disc and countering the ingress of the hot gases. Present study focusses on investigating the effect of introducing pin-fins over the rotating disc on the heat transfer. The jet Reynolds number has been varied from 5000 to 18000, and the rotating Reynolds number has been varied from 5487 to 12803 for an aluminum disc of thickness 6.35mm and diameter 10.16 cm, over which square pins have been arranged in an inline fashion. Steady state temperature measurements have been taken using thermocouples embedded in the disc close to the target surface, and area average Nusselt number has been calculated. The effects of varying the height of the pin-fins, distance between nozzle and the disc surface and the inclination of the impinging jet with the axis of rotation have also been studied. The results have been compared with those for a smooth aluminum disc of equal dimensions and without any pin-fins. The average Nusselt number is significantly enhanced by the presence of pin fins. In the impingement dominant regime, where the effect of disc rotation is minimal for a smooth disc, the heat transfer increases with rotational speed in case of pin fins. The effect of inclination angle of the impinging jet is insignificant in the range explored in this paper (0° to 20°).

Impingement Heat Transfer

Jet impingement heat transfer on a target plate covered with a thick porous layer with or without a cylindrical center cavity is experimentally investigated using the transient liquid crystal technique. Based on the results of jet impingement on a bare flat plate, heat transfer enhancement due to the attachment of porous medium is assessed. The varying parameters in the experiments include the nozzle-to-plate distance, jet Reynolds number, jet-to-cavity diameter ratio, and the cavity depth. Results of Nusselt number distribution, stagnation-zone Nusselt number, and averaged Nusselt number over a region of 3 times the hole diameter are documented. Experimental results show that the attachment of the porous layer with a center cavity can either hamper, or effectively enhance the jet impingement heat transfer over a flat plate. The maximum enhancement occurs at jet Reynolds number of 12400 when the cavity is a through hole and the cavity has the same diameter as the jet. The stagnation-zone Nusselt number increases 58.3% and the averaged Nusselt number increases 77.5% at the maximum enhancement condition. On the other hand, the addition of the thick porous layer without a center cavity gave rise to severe adverse effect on jet impingement heat transfer.

Nanoparticle Shapes

Numerical study of jet impingement cooling of a corrugated surface with water–SiO2 nanofluid of different nanoparticle shapes was performed. The bottom wall is corrugated and kept at constant surface temperature, while the jet emerges from a rectangular slot with cold uniform temperature. The finite volume method is utilized to solve the governing equations. The effects of Reynolds number (between 100 and 500), corrugation amplitude (between 0 and 0.3), corrugation frequency (between 0 and 20), nanoparticle volume fraction (between 0 and 0.04), and nanoparticle shapes (spherical, blade, brick, and cylindrical) on the fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics were studied. Stagnation point and average Nusselt number enhance with Reynolds number and solid particle volume fraction for both flat and corrugated surface configurations. An optimal value for the corrugation amplitude and frequency was found to maximize the average heat transfer at the highest value of Reynolds number. Among various nanoparticle shapes, cylindrical ones perform the best heat transfer characteristics in terms of stagnation and average Nusselt number values. At the highest solid volume concentration of the nanoparticles, heat transfer values are higher for a corrugated surface when compared to a flat surface case.

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.

Flow And Heat Transfer

A mathematical model used for studying jet impingement cooling characteristics is established, and the rationality of the calculation model and method is confirmed by the experimental data. The CFX software is used to numerically simulate the jet impingement cooling characteristics on a gas turbine blade. The effects of various parameters, such as the arrays of impinging nozzles, the jet Reynolds number, the jet-to-jet distance, the ratio of nozzle-to-surface spacing to jet diameter H/d, and the radius of curvature of the target surface, on the flow and heat transfer characteristics of a impingement cooling process are studied. The results indicate that the impingement jets can make complex vortex in the cooling channel, the flow boundary layer is extremely thin and highly turbulent. Underneath each impingement nozzle, there will appear a low temperature area and a peak of Nusselt number on the impingement target surface, the distribution of temperature and Nusselt number on the target surface are associated with arrangement of impingement nozzles. The average Nusselt number of the in-line arrangement nozzles is higher than that of the staggered arrangement ones. With the increasing of jet Reynolds number, the velocity impinging on the target surface and Nusselt number increase. However, heat transfer of impingement cooling on target surface is not sensitive to the jet nozzles distance; the velocity impinging on the target surface and Nusselt number decrease with the increasing of the H/d value. For the curved target surface cases, the average Nusselt number of the target surface and the effect of heat transfer decreased with the increasing of curvature radius R.

Convective heat transfer from an isothermal hot cylindrical cavity due to a turbulent round jet impingement is investigated numerically. Three-dimensional turbulent flow is considered in this work. The Reynolds stress second order turbulence model with wall standard treatment is used for the turbulence predictions the problem parameters are the jet exit Reynolds number, ranging from 2x104 to 105and the normalized impinging distance to the cavity bottom and the jet exit Lf, ranging from 4 to 35. The computed flow patterns and isotherms for various combinations of these parameters are analyzed in order to understand the effect of the cavity confinement on the heat transfer phenomena. The flow in the cavity is divided into three parts, the area of free jet, and the area of the jet interaction with the reverse flow and the semi-quiescent flow in the region of the cavity bottom. The distribution of the local and mean Nusselt numbers along the cavity walls for above combinations of the flow parameters are detailed. Results are compared against to corresponding cases for impinging jet on a plate for the case of the bottom wall. The analysis reveals that the average Nusselt number increases considerably with the jet exit Reynolds number. Finally, it was found that the average Nusselt number at the stagnation point could be correlated by a relationship in the form Nu=f(Lf,Re).

A computational study is carried out of the three-dimensional flow field and heat transfer under a turbulent intermittent circular jet impingement on a concave surface. The control-volume procedure with the SIMPLE algorithm is employed to solve the unsteady RANS (use full form) equations. The RNG k-? model is implemented to simulate turbulence due to its success in predicting similar flows. The numerical results are validated by comparing them with the experimental data. The effects of jet Reynolds number and oscillation frequency on the flow and heat transfer are evaluated. The profiles of instantaneous and time-averaged Nusselt numbers exhibit different trends in axial (x) and circumferential (s) directions. It is found that increasing frequency from 50 to 200 Hz results in considerable time-averaged Nusselt number enhancement in both axial and curvature directions. The intermittent jet at a frequency of 200 Hz enhances the total average Nusselt number by 51.4%, 40%, and 33.7% compared to the steady jet values at jet Reynolds numbers of 10000, 23000, and 40000, respectively. In addition, a correlation for the average Nusselt number is proposed depending on the Reynolds number and the Strouhal number.

This paper investigates the performance and characteristics of saw tooth shape micro channel in the theoretical level. If the conduct area of the nano fluid increases the heat transfer also increases. The performance curve has drawn Reynolds number against nusselt number, heat transfer co efficient. Pressure drop plays an important role in this device. If pressure drop is high the heat transfer increases. The result in this experiment shows clearly that the heat transfer is optimized.

An alternative to ribs for internal heat transfer enhancement of gas turbine airfoils is dimpled depressions. Relative to ribs, dimples incur a reduced pressure drop, which can increase the overall thermal performance of the channel. This experimental investigation measures detailed Nusselt number ratio distributions obtained from an array of V-shaped dimples (δ/D = 0.30). Although the V-shaped dimple array is derived from a traditional hemispherical dimple array, the V-shaped dimples are arranged in an in-line pattern. The resulting spacing of the V-shaped dimples is 3.2D in both the streamwise and spanwise directions. A single wide wall of a rectangular channel (AR = 3:1) is lined with V-shaped dimples. The channel Reynolds number ranges from 10,000–40,000. Detailed Nusselt number ratios are obtained using both a transient liquid crystal technique and a newly developed transient temperature sensitive paint (TSP) technique. Therefore, the TSP technique is not only validated against a baseline geometry (smooth channel), but it is also validated against a more established technique. Measurements indicate that the proposed V-shaped dimple design is a promising alternative to traditional ribs or hemispherical dimples. At lower Reynolds numbers, the V-shaped dimples display heat transfer and friction behavior similar to traditional dimples. However, as the Reynolds number increases to 30,000 and 40,000, secondary flows developed in the V-shaped concavities further enhance the heat transfer from the dimpled surface (similar to angled and V-shaped rib induced secondary flows). This additional enhancement is obtained with only a marginal increase in the pressure drop. Therefore, as the Reynolds number within the channel increases, the thermal performance also increases. While this trend has been confirmed with both the transient TSP and liquid crystal techniques, TSP is shown to have limited capabilities when acquiring highly resolved detailed heat transfer coefficient distributions.
