A series of experimental investigations with stringent measurement methods on the studies related to fluid flow and transient mixed convection from a horizontally unconfined stationary or rotating ceramic-based MCM disk with unconfined jet impingement have been successfully conducted. The relevant parameters influencing fluid flow and heat transfer performance are (1) mixed convection due to jet impingement and buoyancy: steady-state Grashof number, jet Reynolds number, and ratio of jet separation distance to nozzle diameter; and (2) mixed convection due to jet impingement, disk rotation and buoyancy: steady-state Grashof number, jet Reynolds number (Rej), rotational Reynolds number (Rer), ratio of jet separation distance to nozzle diameter (H/d). The thermal behavior explored includes the transient temperature distribution on the MCM disk surface, transient heat flux distribution of input power, transient convective heat flux distribution of chips, and transient chip and average heat transfer characteristics on the MCM disk surface. Besides, two new correlations of transient stagnation and average Nusselt numbers in terms of Rej, H/d and t are presented for the cases of stationary MCM disk. For the cases of rotating MCM disk, a new empirical correlation to classify two regimes of heat transfer modes such as disk rotation mode and jet impingement mode is presented; and a complete composite correlation of steady-state average Nusselt number for mixed convection due to jet impingement, disk rotation and buoyancy is proposed. As compared with the steady-state results, if the transient chip and average heat transfer behaviors may be considered as a superposition of a series of quasi-steady states, the transient chip and average Nusselt numbers in all the present transient experiments can be properly predicted by the existing steady-state correlations when t > 6 min in the power-on transient period.

Abstract Jet-impingement heat transfer is commonly used for vane leading edges and end-walls of turbine components for cooling the surfaces. One of the factors that limit high heat transfer rates is the effect of the crossflow which builds up downstream and adversely impacts the jet penetration and the impingement heat transfer rates. The present paper investigates the concept of introducing return holes (RH) for the crossflow to prevent its build-up and therefore reduce its deleterious effects. In the present experimental study, a 3 by 9 jet-array impinging on a target surface is considered with and without return holes. The return holes are located in an in-line pattern between the impingement holes. Experiments are conducted in an impingement channel with closed side walls and for jet-to-target distances (H/D) of 1D to 9D and a jet-Reynolds number of 20,000. Two different crossflow schemes combined with three return hole (RH) configurations are studied. The two crossflow arrangements are: (1) one radial exit and RH’s open for the spent air to exit and (2) all radial exits blocked with the spent air exiting through the RH’s only. Three different area-openings for the RH’s are considered and correspond to 33.3%, 66.7%, and 100% of the total return hole area open. In addition, a baseline case with no RH’s and one radial exit is studied. A transient liquid-crystal based study is conducted using a thin sheet of narrowband Thermochromic Liquid Crystal glued on an acrylic plate serving as the target surface. Local heat transfer coefficients are obtained based on the measured surface temperature and the solution of 1D transient heat conduction in the target acrylic plate. Return holes have significant influence on the crossflow-induced degradation effects at small jet-to-target spacing. The all-blocked crossflow scheme demonstrates good uniformity and axisymmetric Nusselt number distributions.

Impingement Heat Transfer

Mathematical model combining theoretical analysis approach and differential numerical solving techniques has been set up to predict the free surface water jet impingement heat transfer. Heat transfer properties are obtained and validated by comparison with experiments. The characteristic of Nu-r/d distribution is discussed and the effect of nozzle diameter is analyzed. In addition, nozzle arrangements are studied for water jet equipment designation purpose. The results show that: Reynolds number is the dominate parameter in Nu-r/d distribution and area-averaged Nusselt number increases with increasing nozzle diameter. The best heat transfer effect appears when the aspect ratio of rectangular surface equals to 1. Fewer nozzles and bigger single impinged area could get larger Nusselt number under a given total water flow rate and given total impinged area. At a constant flow rate, larger nozzle diameter and smaller Reynolds number present a larger Nusselt number.

In present study, an experimental investigation has been carried out to analyze the heat transfer characteristics of CuO-water nanofluids jets on a hot surface. A rectangular stainless steel foil (AISI-304, 0.15 mm thick) is used as a test surface is electrically heated to obtain the required initial temperature. The distribution of heat flux on the target surface is evaluated from the recorded thermal images during transient cooling. The effect of nanoparticle concentration and Reynolds number of the nanofluids jet impingement heat transfer characteristics is studied. Tests were performed for an initial surface temperature of 500°C, Reynolds number (5000≤Re≤13000), CuO-water nanofluids concentration (Φ= 0.15%, 0.6%) and nozzle to plate distance was l/d= 4.

Impingement Heat Transfer

The paper proposed an idea of using micro-W-shaped ribs on a test plate to improve the impingement heat transfer performance in a multiple-jet impingement cooling system. An experimental study has been conducted on the heat transfer characteristics of multiple-jet impingement onto a flat plate and a roughened plate with micro W-shaped ribs under maximum cross flow scheme. Transient liquid crystal thermography method has been used to obtain the detailed impingement heat transfer distribution for the Reynolds numbers from 15,000 to 30,000.The effects of micro W ribs on the local Nusselt number and the related pressure loss were investigated experimentally. The jet-to-plate spacing H/d=1.5 was used in the experiments for both the flat and the micro-W-rib roughened plate. The experiments showed that the micro W ribs on the plate can enhance the impingement heat transfer globally and locally, and increase the heat transfer uniformity, which are due to the facts that the micro W ribs on the test plate increase the near-wall turbulent mixing by interacting with the wall jets and cross flow. The pressure loss is negligibly increased compared to the impingement onto the flat plate.

Jet impingement is often employed within the leading edge of turbine airfoils to combat the heat loads incurred within this region. This experimental investigation employs a transient liquid crystal technique to obtain detailed Nusselt number distributions on a concave, cylindrical surface that models the leading edge of a turbine airfoil. The effect of hole shape and differing hole inlet and exit conditions are investigated. Two hole shapes are studied: cylindrical and racetrack-shaped holes; for each hole shape, the hydraulic diameter and mass flow rate into the array of jets is conserved. As a result, the jet's Reynolds number varies between the two jet arrays. Reynolds numbers of 13,600, 27,200, and 40,700 are investigated for the cylindrical holes, and Reynolds numbers of 11,500, 23,000, and 34,600 are investigated for the racetrack holes. Three inlet and exit conditions are investigated for each hole shape: a square edged, a partially filleted, and a fully filleted hole. The ratio of the fillet radius to hole hydraulic diameter is set at 0.25 and 0.667 for the partially and fully filleted holes, respectively, while all other geometrical features remain constant. Results show the Nusselt number is directly related to the Reynolds number for both cylindrical and racetrack-shaped holes. The racetrack holes are shown to provide enhanced heat transfer compared to the cylindrical holes. The degree of filleting at the inlet and outlet of the holes affects whether the heat transfer on the leading edge model is further enhanced or degraded.
