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).

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°).

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.

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.

This paper presents the effects of microchannel shape with ribs and cavities on turbulent heat transfer. Three-dimensional conjugate heat transfer using the SST k-ω turbulence model has been investigated for four different microchannels, namely, rectangular, rectangular with ribs and cavities, convergent-divergent (CD) and convergent-divergent with Ribs and Cavities (CD-RC). The flow field, pressure and temperature distributions and friction factor are analyzed, and thermal resistance and average Nusselt number are compared. The thermal performance of the CD-RC microchannel is found to be better than that of other microchannels considered in terms of an average Nusselt number increased from 16% to 40%. Heat transfer increases due to a strong fluid mixing and periodic interruption of boundary-layer. It is observed that with an increase in Reynolds number (Re), the thermal resitance drops rapidly. The thermal resistance of the CD-RC microchannel is decreased by 30% than that of the rectangular microchannel for Re ranging from 2500 to 7000. However, such design of microchannel loses its heat transfer effectiveness due to a high pumping power at high values of Re.

Turbulent heat transfer between a confined jet flowing in a hot rectangular cavity is studied numerically by finite volume method using the k-w SST one point closure turbulence model. The location of the jet inside the cavity is chosen so that the flow is in the non-oscillation regime. The flow structure is described for different jet-to-bottom-wall distances. A parametrical study was conducted to identify the influence of the jet exit location and the Reynolds number on the heat transfer coefficient. The parameters of this study are: the jet exit Reynolds number (Re, 1560< Re <33333), the temperature difference between the cavity heated wall and the jet exit (DT=60?C) and the jet location inside the cavity (Lf, 2? Lf? 10 and Lh 2.5<Lh?10). The Nusselt number increased and attained its maximum value at the stagnation points and then decreased. The flow structure is found in good agreement with the available experimental data. The maximum local heat transfer between the cavity walls and the flow occurs at the potential core end. The ratio between the stagnation point Nusselt numbers of the cavity bottom (NuB0) to the maximum Nusselt number on the lateral cavity wall (NuLmax) decreased with the Reynolds number for all considered impinging distances. For a given lateral confinement, the stagnation Nusselt number of the asymmetrical interaction Lh?10 is almost equal to that of the symmetrical interaction Lh=10.

Numerical Predictions

The turbulent heat transfer by a confined jet flowing inside a hot cylindrical cavity is investigated numerically in this paper. This configuration is found in several engineering applications such as air conditioning and the ventilation of mines, deadlock, or corridors. The parameters investigated in this work are the Reynolds number (Re, 20,000 ≤ Re ≤ 50,000) and the normalized distance Lf between jet exit and the cavity bottom (Lf, 2 ≤ Lf  ≤ 12). The numerical predictions are performed by finite volume method using the second order one-point closure turbulence model (RSM). The Nusselt number increases and attains maximum values at stagnation points, after it decreases. For an experimental test case available in the literature Lf = 8, the numerical predictions are in good agreement. Processes of heat transfer are analyzed from the flow behavior and the underlying mechanisms. The maximum local heat transfer between the cavity walls and the flow occurs at Lf = 6 corresponding to the length of the potential core. Nusselt number at the stagnation point is correlated versus Reynolds number Re and impinging distance Lf; [Nu0=f(Re,Lf)].

Local Heat Transfer Coefficient

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.

The flow field and heat transfer of a plane impinging jet on a hot moving wall were investigated using one point closure turbulence model. Computations were carried out by means of a finite volume method. The evolutions of mean velocity components, vorticity, skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number and pressure coefficient are examined in this paper. Two parameters of this type of interaction are considered for a given impinging distance of 8 times the nozzle thickness (H/e = 8): the jet-surface velocity ratio and the jet exit Reynolds number. The flow field structure at a given surface-to-jet velocity ratio is practically independent to the jet exit Reynolds number. A slight modification of the flow field is observed for weak surface-to-jet velocity ratios while the jet is strongly driven for higher velocity ratio. The present results satisfactorily compare to the experimental data available in the literature for Rsj ≤ 1.The purpose of this paper is to investigate this phenomenon for higher Rsj values (0 ≤ Rsj ≤ 4). It follows that the variation of the mean skin friction and the Nusselt number can be correlated according to the surface-to-jet velocity ratios and the Reynolds numbers.

Experiments were conducted to study the effects of lateral flow ejection on the overall heat transfer and pressure drops for turbulent flow through pin fin channels. The two test sections of the investigation were rectangular channels with staggered arrays of six and eight streamwise rows of pins, respectively. The pin length-to-diameter ratio was one and both the streamwise and spanwise pin spacings were 2.5 times the pin diameter. Heat transfer and friction data were obtained for various ejection exit geometries, for ejection ratios between 0 and 1, and for Reynolds numbers between 6000 and 60,000. The results of the study show that, for any given ejection ratio, the overall Nusselt number increases with increasing Reynolds number. However, the overall Nusselt number is reduced by as much as 25 percent as the ejection ratio is increased from 0 to 1 over the range of Reynolds number studied. The Nu–Re–ε relationship, which is insensitive to varying the ejection exit geometry, can be correlated by the equation (Nu/Nu0) = (Nu1/Nu0)ε, where Nu0 = c0Rem and Nu1 = c1Ren are the overall Nusselt numbers in the 0 and 100 percent lateral flow ejection cases, respectively. The results also show that the overall friction factor is independent of the flow Reynolds number over the range of Reynolds number studied. However, the friction factor is strongly dependent on the ejection ratio as well as the geometries of the straight flow exit and lateral ejection flow exit.
