Abstract The motion of the target plate is important in some industrial applications which apply multiple jet impingement, such as reflow soldering, drying and food processing. Multiple jet impingement is widely used due to its ability to generate high heat transfer rates over large and complex areas. This convective process is characterized by several flow interactions essentially due to adjacent jets mixing prior the impingement, wall jets collision after the impingement, as well as crossflow interactions induced by the motion of the wall jets that flow through the exits of the domain. These interactions lead to strong flow recirculation, pressure gradients and boundary layer development. However, the complexity of the flow interactions is increased with the surface motion in confined space, due to the generation of strong shear regions. These interactions can induce problems and product defects due to complicated thermal behavior and non-uniform heating or cooling, being important to fully understand the process in order to reduce time and costs. This work addresses the experimental analysis of multiple air jets impinging on a moving flat plate. The experiments are conducted on a purpose-built test facility which has been commissioned, using a 2D-PIV system. Through this technique, the flow structure and velocity profiles will be analyzed in detail. The effects of the impinging plate motion on the resulting global and local velocity profile is compared with a static flat plate. The multiple jet configuration consists on air flowing through 14 circular nozzles, at a Reynolds number of 690 and 1,380. The experiments are conducted for a nozzle-to-plate distance of 8 and a jet-to-jet spacing of 2. The target plate motion remains constant throughout the experiments and equal to 0.03 m/s. The results are compared for both stationary and moving flat plates cases and express the increased complexity of the flow due to strong interaction between jets and the target surface, which affects the heat transfer performance. The results obtained experimentally are important to clearly define this complex flow and these data can be used in future works for numerical model validation.

This research was aimed at studying the numerical and experimental characteristics of the air flow impinging on a dimpled surface. Heat transfer enhancement between a hot surface and the air is supposed to be obtained from a dimple effect. In the experiment, 15 types of test plate were investigated at different distances between the jet and test plate (B), dimple diameter (d) and dimple distance (Er and Eθ). The testing fluid was air presented in an impinging jet flowing at Re = 1500 to 14,600. A comparison of the heat transfer coefficient was performed between the jet impingement on the dimpled surface and the flat plate. The velocity vector and the temperature contour showed the different air flow characteristics from different test plates. The highest thermal enhancement factor (TEF) was observed under the conditions of B = 2 d, d = 1 cm, Er= 2 d, Eθ = 1.5 d and Re = 1500. This TEF was obtained from the dimpled surface and was 5.5 times higher than that observed in the flat plate.

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.
