This research provides a computational analysis of heat transfer due to micro jet-impingement inside a gas turbine vane. A preliminary-parametric analysis of axisymmetric single jet was reported to better understand micro jet-impingement. In general, it was seen that as the Reynolds number increased the Nusselt number values increased. The jet to target spacing had a considerably lower impact on the heat transfer rates. Around 30% improvement was seen by reducing the diameter to half while changing the shape to an ellipse saw 20.8% improvement in Nusselt value. The numerical investigation was then followed by studying the heat transfer characteristics in a three-dimensional, actual-shaped turbine vane. Effects of jet inclination showed enhanced mixing and secondary heat transfer peaks. The effect of reducing the diameter of the jets to 0.125 mm yielded 55% heat transfer improvements compared to 0.51 mm; the tapering effect also enhanced the local heat transfer values as local velocities at jet exit increased.

Thermal Boundary Conditions

Natural convection in an enclosure with a uniform heat flux on two vertical surfaces and constant temperature at the adjoining walls has been investigated both experimentally and theoretically. The thermal boundary conditions and enclosure geometry render the buoyancy-induced flow and heat transfer inherently three dimensional. The experimental measurements include temperature distributions of the isoflux walls obtained using an infrared thermal imaging technique, while the three-dimensional equations governing conservation of mass, momentum, and energy were solved using a control volume-based finite difference scheme. Measurements and predictions are in good agreement and the model predictions reveal strongly three-dimensional flow in the enclosure, as well as high local heat transfer rates at the edges of the isoflux wall. Predicted average heat transfer rates were correlated over a range of the relevant dimensionless parameters.

An experimental study was done to determine the effect of entrainment temperature on the local heat transfer rates to single and multiple, plane, turbulent impinging air jets. To determine the effect of entrainment of the surrounding fluid, the single jet issued into an environment at a temperature which was varied between the initial temperature of the jet and the temperature of the heated impingement plate. An analytical model was used to correlate the measured heat transfer rate to a single jet. The effect of the entrainment temperature in a single jet was then used to analyze the effect of entrainment from the recirculation region between the jets of a jet array. Using the measured temperature in the recirculation region to include the effect of entrainment, the single jet correlations were successfully applied to multiple jets.

Conduction Model

Abstract Liquid crystal thermography and infrared thermography techniques are typically employed to measure detailed surface temperatures, where local heat transfer coefficient (HTC) values are calculated by employing suitable conduction models. One such practice, which is very popular and easy to use, is the transient liquid crystal thermography using one-dimensional semi-infinite conduction model. In these experiments, a test surface with low thermal conductivity and low thermal diffusivity (e.g. acrylic) is used where a step-change in coolant air temperature is induced and surface temperature response is recorded. An error minimization routine is then employed to guess heat transfer coefficients of each pixel, where wall temperature evolution is known through an analytical expression. The assumption that heat flow in the solid is essentially in one-dimension, often leads to errors in HTC determination and this error depends on true HTC, wall temperature evolution and HTC gradient. A representative case of array jet impingement under maximum crossflow condition has been considered here. This heat transfer enhancement concept is widely used in gas turbine leading edge and electronics cooling. Jet impingement is a popular cooling technique which results in high convective heat rates and has steep gradients in heat transfer coefficient distribution. In this paper, we have presented a procedure for solution of three-dimensional transient conduction equation using alternating direction implicit method and an error minimization routine to find accurate heat transfer coefficients at relatively lower computational cost. The HTC results obtained using 1D semi-infinite conduction model and 3D conduction model were compared and it was found that the heat transfer coefficient obtained using the 3D model was consistently higher than the conventional 1D model by 3–16%. Significant deviations, as high as 8–20% in local heat transfer at the stagnation points of the jets were observed between h1D and h3D.

This paper describes the characteristics of the heat transfer and flow of a swirling laminar impinging jet in a comparatively narrow space with a confined wall. Air is impinged on a flat surface with constant wall temperature. The heat transfer and flow field were analyzed numerically by solving three-dimensional governing equations. Heat transfer experiment and flow visualization were also performed. Numerical heat transfer was compared with experimental results. Temperature distribution and velocity vectors in the space were obtained for various swirl numbers at Reynolds number Re=2000. The numerical and experimental results show that the swirling jet enhances or depresses the local heat transfer, and the average Nusselt number ratio with and without swirl takes a peak at a certain swirl number.

An introduction is given to the optical setup and principle of operation of classical and holographic interferometers that are used for convective he at transfer measurements. The equations for the evaluation of the temperature field are derived and methods of analysis are discussed for both two-dimensional and three-dimensional temperature fields. Emphasis is given to techniques for measuring local heat transfer rates. For two-dimensional fields, a method is presented for measuring the surface temperature gradient directly from a finite (wedge) fringe interferogram. This “direct gradient method” is shown to be most useful for the measurement of low convective heat transfer rates. For three-dimensional fields, the equations for calculating the beam-averaged local heat flux are presented. The measurement of the fluid temperature averaged along the light beam is shown to be approximate. However, an analysis is presented showing that for most cases the error associated with temperature variations in the light beam direction is small. Digital image analysis of interferograms to obtain fringe spacings is also discussed briefly.

A fluid-solid conjugate solver has been newly developed and applied to an actual engine disk system. Most of the currently available conjugate solvers lack the special thermal modeling for turbomachinery disk system applications. In the present new code, these special models are implemented to expand the applicability of the conjugate method and to reduce the required computational resources. Most of the conjugate analysis work so far were limited to the axisymmetric framework. However, the actual disk system includes several non-axisymmetric components which inevitably affect the local heat transfer phenomena. This paper presents 3D conjugate analysis of a single stage high pressure turbine rotor-stator disk system to assess these three-dimensional effects. The predicted temperatures shows good agreement with measured data. The calculated results revealed the three-dimensional analysis is crucial to predict the correct heat transfer field which is especially important in transient situations.
