Impingement Cooling

The effectiveness of the jet impingement system on the turbine blade pressure side has been experimentally investigated. The effects of height-to-diameter ratio and air velocity on the effectiveness of jet impingement were studied. Experiments was performed under varying height-to-diameter ratios (H/D = 5, 10, 15, 20) where the distance from the nozzle to the pressure side surface ranged from 20, 40, 60 and 80 mm with a constant nozzle diameter of 4 mm. The Nusselt number is calculated to determine the cooling effect of the pressure side model surface. Experiments were also performed at varying air velocity at 6.4 m/s and 12.6 m/s. The findings revealed that there was no direct relationship between Nusselt number and H/D ratio where the optimum cooling impact at a velocity of 6.4 m/s was found to be at H/D=15, whereas at a velocity of 12.6 m/s it was found to be at H/D=5. The findings also reveal that the amount of Nusselts rises as the air velocity increases.

Jet impingement is one of cooling method used in order to achieve high heat transfer coefficient and widely used in industry applications such as drying of textile and film, glass and plastic sheets, cooling of electronic equipment, and heat treatment of metals. In this research, it focused on the effectiveness of the jet impingement cooling system on the convex surface based on mass blowing rate and nozzle exit to surface parameters. The scope of experiment research encompasses are convex surface made of aluminum alloy and diameter 12.5cm. For mass blowing rate parameters, it use ʋjet = 1.98m/s, 3.03m/s, 4.97m/s and 6.00m/s which has Reynolds number range from 643 until 1946. Nozzle exit to surface distance,s/d = 4.0, 8.0 and 12.0. In this experiment model, a major components that involved are a compressor, nozzle, convex surface model, K thermocouple and heater. For the result of the experiment, it is based on the data obtain through a heat transfer coefficient and Nusselt number which the plotted graph focus on the space spacing and Reynolds number parameters. For the graph Nusselt number versus s/d at stagnation point c/d=0, it shown that when the Reynolds number increase, the Nusselt number also increase. In term of effectiveness, the s/d=12.0 has a good effectiveness jet impingement cooling system. For the graph of Nusselt number versus Reynolds at stagnation point, c/d=0, as Reynolds number increase, the Nusselt number increase too. From this experiment the better cooling effect is at Reynolds number, Re=1946. Thus, it can conclude that, effectiveness for jet impingement cooling system on the convex surface occurs at the highest Reynolds number.

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 rising demand for efficient cooling technologies is a strong driver of extensive research in this area. This trend is particularly strong in turbines and microprocessors technology. Presented study is focused on the jet impingement cooling concept, which is used in various configurations for many years. The potential of the heat sink shape modification is not yet fully explored. Available literature suggests that average Nusselt number can be improved by more than 10% by adding conical shape in the stagnation region. This refers to the axisymmetric case where cold-water jet impinges the surface of heated aluminium. Presented results are based on 2D axisymmetric thermal-FSI (Fluid-Solid Interaction) model, which was validated against the experiment. The objective of the presented analysis is to determine the correlation between cooling effectiveness (Nusselt number) and chosen examples of concave and convex shapes located in the jet stagnation area.

Abstract: The present computational study involves a flat plate subjected to combined effect of jet impingement and film cooling. A conjugate heat transfer model in conjunction with k-ω SST turbulence model is employed to study the turbulence effects. The effect of Reynolds number varying from 389 to 2140 on static temperature, Nusselt number and film cooling effectiveness has be discussed for the blowing ratios of 0.6, 0.8, 1.0. The variation in the size of vortices formed on the impinging surface with Reynolds number is studied. It has been observed that the local Nusselt number shows a rising trend with the increase in Reynolds number, while the static temperatures follow the downfall in its values. As a result, an enhancement in the effectiveness is observed, which is credited to the capabilities of combined impingement and film cooling. At Reynolds number of 972, the coolant jet is found to be attached to the surface, for this condition the heat transfer phenomena for blowing ratios of 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.6, 2.0, 2.4, 2.6 are studied to understand the flow distribution on the plate surface.

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.

Air cooling has its own advantages in packaging technology and such many applications. The analysis of multi-jet impingement cooling process is performed. Air is used as fluid in present system. A simulated component with heater plate is cooled with four jets. All jets are placed inline or considered in a row. The jets are inclined to base and reference target to be cooled. The inclination of each jet is changed according to various configurations from 60 and 120 Degree to make packaging as compact as possible. Different configurations are examined and best combination is selected for study of variation of target to jet distance. Interface of flow from one jet with other is creating turbulence and effect of this on cooling target plate is studied experimentally. The graphs are plotted giving variations of Nusselt number as per Reynolds number in laminar range up to 2000. Jet inclination combination with first jet -inside, second jet - outside, third jet - outside, and fourth jet – inside is considered as giving best results with inclinations as 60-120-60- 120 degree respectively. The laminar flow, with jet position inline, in which jet fluid flow lines gets mixed and creating turbulence gives higher average Nusselt number indicating better cooling performance. Further experiments using various fluids and various jet combinations / inclinations may be performed. The correlation is presented showing variation between Nusselt number and Reynolds number for typical case.

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.
