Impinging jet cooling technique has been widely used extensively in various industrial processes, namely, cooling and drying of films and papers, processing of metals and glasses, cooling of gas turbine blades and most recently cooling of various components of electronic devices. Due to high heat removal rate the jet impingement cooling of the hot surfaces is being used in nuclear industries. During the loss of coolant accidents (LOCA) in nuclear power plant, an emergency core cooling system (ECCS) cool the cluster of clad tubes using consisting of fuel rods. Controlled cooling, as an important procedure of thermal-mechanical control processing technology, is helpful to improve the microstructure and mechanical properties of steel. In industries for heat transfer efficiency and homogeneous cooling performance which usually requires a jet impingement with improved heat transfer capacity and controllability. It provides better cooling in comparison to air. Rapid quenching by water jet, sometimes, may lead to formation of cracks and poor ductility to the quenched surface. Spray and mist jet impingement offers an alternative method to uncontrolled rapid cooling, particularly in steel and electronics industries. Mist jet impingement cooling of downward facing hot surface has not been extensively studied in the literature. The present experimental study analyzes the heat transfer characteristics a 0.15mm thick hot horizontal stainless steel (SS-304) foil using Internal mixing full cone (spray angle 20 deg) mist nozzle from the bottom side. Experiments have been performed for the varied range of water pressure (0.7–4.0 bar) and air pressure (0.4–5.8 bar). The effect of water and air inlet pressures, on the surface heat flux has been examined in this study. The maximum surface heat flux is achieved at stagnation point and is not affected by the change in nozzle to plate distance, Air and Water flow rates.

Three-dimensional numerical study is conducted to investigate the heat transfer characteristics for the flow impingement cooling in the narrow passage based on cooling technology of turbine blade.The effects of the jet Reynolds number, impingement distance and initial cross-flow on heat transfer characteristic are investigated.Results show that when other parameters remain unchanged local heat transfer coefficient increases with increase of jet Reynolds number;overall heat transfer effect is reduced by initial cross-flow;there is an optimal distance to the best effect of 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.
