This paper presents local heat transfer data for a planar, free-surface jet of water impinging normal on a uniformly heated surface. The hydrodynamic conditions of the jet were altered through the use of different nozzle types (parallel-plate and converging) and flow manipulators (wire grid and screens) to investigate the relationship between jet turbulence and local impingement heat transfer. The flow structures for each of the various nozzle conditions are reported in a companion paper (Wolf et al., 1995), and results are used in this paper to interpret their effect on local heat transfer. In addition to qualitative interpretations, correlations are developed for both the onset of transition to turbulence and the dimensionless convection coefficient at the stagnation point. Higher levels of jet turbulence are shown to induce transition to a turbulent boundary layer at smaller streamwise distances from the stagnation point. The effect of stream-wise turbulence intensity on the convection coefficient is shown to scale approximately as the one-quarter power.

This study investigates the relationship between jet turbulence and local impingement heat transfer for a free-surface, planar jet of water. Employing a thermal anemometer system, measurements of the mean velocity and turbulence intensity are reported at different streamwise and spanwise locations throughout the jet. The flow conditions at the nozzle discharge were controlled by using different nozzle designs (parallel-plate and converging) and flow manipulators (wire grid and screens). Measurements of the velocity gradient along the impingement surface, known to influence heat transfer from analytical considerations of a laminar impinging jet, were also made for the same sets of nozzle conditions. The test matrix also included variations in the Reynolds number (23,000 and 46,000) and distance from the nozzle discharge to the surface (0 to 30 nozzle widths). The local heat transfer results corresponding to the flow structure measurements are reported in Part 2 of this paper.

Impingement Heat Transfer

In this paper, heat transfer and effectiveness of a turbulent slot jet impinging over a heated circular cylinder have been investigated numerically by varying the ratio of jet temperature to the ambient temperature, Θj = Tj/Tamp, from 0.7 to 1.2. In all cases, the ambient temperature (Tamb) is assumed to be constant (300 K). The Reynolds number defined based on the average nozzle exit velocity, the diameter of the cylindrical target (D), and properties at the nozzle exit temperature, ReD=ρVD/μ is varied from 6000 to 20,000. The ratio of cylinder diameter to the slot width, D/S = 5.5, 8.5, and 17 are considered and the nondimensional distance from the nozzle exit to the cylinder, H/S is varied in the range of 2 ≤ H/S ≤ 12. The v′2¯−f turbulence model was used for numerical simulations. Numerical results reveal that the local Nusselt number is found to be higher at the stagnation point in the case of cold jet impingement at Θj = 0.7. The local heat transfer at the rear side of the cylinder is 8–18% less as compared to that of Θj = 1.0 for ReD = 6000. The local effectiveness calculated over a circular cylinder strongly depends on H/S and D/S. Based on the parametric study, a correlation has been provided for the local effectiveness at the stagnation point.

Measured local heat transfer data and the results of flow visualization studies are reported for cross-flow mixed convection in a rectangular enclosure with restricted inlet and outlet openings at high Rayleigh number. In this study, experiments using water as the test fluid were conducted in a small-scale test section with uniformly heated vertical side walls and an adiabatic top and bottom. As the flow rate through the enclosure increased, the enhancement of heat transfer, above that for natural convection alone, also increased. The variation of the local heat transfer coefficient over the heated surface was found to be strongly affected by the recirculation of portions of the forced flow within the enclosure. Mean heat transfer coefficients are also presented which were calculated by averaging the measured local values over the heated surface. A correlation for the mean heat transfer coefficient is also proposed which agrees very well with the experimentally determined values. A method of predicting the flow regime in this geometry for specified heating and flow conditions is also discussed.

Radial Profiles

Wind tunnel experiments were performed to determine both the average heat transfer coefficient and the radial distribution of the local heat transfer coefficient for a circular disk facing a uniform oncoming flow. The experiments covered the range of Reynolds numbers Re from 5000 to 50,000 and were performed using the naphthalene sublimation technique. To complement the experiments, an analysis incorporating both potential flow theory and boundary layer theory was used to predict the stagnation point heat transfer. The measured average Nusselt numbers definitively resolved a deep disparity between information from the literature and yielded the correlation Nu = 1.05 Pr0.36 Re1/2. The radial distributions of the local heat transfer coefficient were found to be congruent when they were normalized by Re1/2. Furthermore, the radial profiles showed that the local coefficient takes on its minimum value at the stagnation point and increases with increasing radial distance from the center of the disk. At the outer edge of the disk, the coefficient is more than twice as large as that at the stagnation point. The theoretical predictions of the stagnation point heat transfer exceeded the experimental values by about 6 percent. This overprediction is similar to that which occurs for cylinders and spheres in crossflow.

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.

Good Agreement

Local heat-transfer measurements are reported for a transpiration-cooled cylinder in crossflow. The stagnation point measurements are found to be in good agreement with results from plane stagnation flow theory. In the laminar region beyond the stagnation point, the equivalent wedge method is found to predict heat-transfer performance within 10 percent of the experimental values. In the separated flow region the experimental results demonstrate that the transpiration process is still very effective in reducing the heat transfer.

Inclined Surface

Measurements that illustrate the enhancement of heat transfer caused by a bubble sliding under an inclined surface are reported. The data were obtained on an electrically heated thin-foil surface that was exposed on its lower side to FC-87 and displayed the output of a liquid crystal coating on the upper (dry) side. A sequence of digital images was obtained from two cameras: one that recorded the response of the liquid crystal and one that recorded images of the bubble as it moved along the heated surface. With this information, the thermal imprint of the bubble was correlated to its motion and position. A bubble generator that produced FC-87 bubbles of repeatable and controllable size was also developed for this study. The results show that both the microlayer under a sliding bubble and the wake behind the bubble contribute substantially to the local heat transfer rate from the surface. The dynamic behavior of the bubbles corresponded well with studies of the motion of adiabatic bubbles under inclined plates, even though the bubbles in the present study grew rapidly because of heat transfer from the wall and the surrounding superheated liquid. Three regimes of bubble motion were observed: spherical, ellipsoidal and bubble-cap. The regimes depend upon bubble size and velocity. A model of the heat transfer within the microlayer was used to infer the microlayer thickness. Preliminary results indicate a microlayer thickness of 40–50 μm for bubbles in FC-87 and a plate inclination of 12 deg.

Augmentation Techniques

The effect of two in-line inclined baffles on the local heat transfer distributions and the associated frictional losses for a turbulent flow with uniform heating from the top surface of a rectangular channel is presented for different Reynolds numbers. A combination of two baffles of same overall size is used in this experiment. The upstream baffle remains attached to the top heated surface and the position, orientation, and geometry of the other is varied. These inclined perforated baffles combine the three major heat transfer augmentation techniques, i.e., jet impingement, internal flow swirls, and boundary layer separation. The results indicate that placement of two inclined baffles augment the overall heat transfer coefficient significantly along with the local heat transfer distribution. The pattern of local Nusselt number ratio strongly depends on the position, orientation, and geometry of the second plate. Like single inclined baffles and rib mounted channels, two baffles offer more pressure drop at higher flow Reynolds number.

Piezoelectric Fans

Piezoelectric fans have been shown to provide large enhancements in heat transfer over natural convection while consuming very little power. These fans consist of a piezoelectric material attached to a flexible cantilever. When driven at resonance, large oscillations at the cantilever tip cause fluid motion, which in turn, results in improved heat transfer rates. In this study, the local heat transfer coefficients are determined experimentally for piezoelectric fans vibrating close to an electrically heated stainless steel foil, and the entire temperature field is observed by means of an infrared camera. Various vibration amplitudes, distances from heater to fan tip (or gap), and fan pitches are considered for both single-fan and two-fan configurations in impinging orientations. Of particular interest is the increase in heat transfer performance with an additional fan present and the dependence of this increase on the variable parameters. Results show nearly uniform cooling within the envelope of vibration for single-fan experiments with small gaps, and the existence of an optimal gap distance which is dependent on vibration amplitude. The benefits of an additional fan include greater coverage area, but the resulting increase in peak convection coefficient is highly dependent on the fan pitch. Conditions exist where constructive interference is observed which causes a roughly 10% increase in peak convection coefficient while significantly increasing the coverage area. Understanding the local performance of piezoelectric fans provides an important tool to help implement these devices in practical cooling systems.

Finite Volume Approach

Synthetic jets are generated by an equivalent inflow and outflow of fluid into a system. Even though such a jet creates no net mass flux, net positive momentum can be produced because the outflow momentum during the first half of the cycle is contained primarily in a vigorous vortex pair created at the orifice edges whereas in the backstroke, the backflow momentum is weaker, despite the fact that mass is conserved. As a consequence of this, the approach can be potentially utilized for the impingement of a cooling fluid over a heated surface. In the present study, a canonical geometry is presented, in order to study the flow and heat transfer of a purely oscillatory jet that is not influenced by the manner in which it is produced. The unsteady Navier-Stokes equations and the convection-diffusion equation were solved using a fully unsteady, two-dimensional finite volume approach in order to capture the complex time dependent flow field. A detailed analysis was performed on the correlation between the complex velocity field and the observed wall heat transfer. A fundamental frequency, in addition to the jet forcing frequency, was found, and was attributed to the coalescence of consecutive vortex pairs. In some instances, this vortex pairing can lead to zones of low heat transfer. Two point correlations showed that the Nusselt number Nu, showed stronger correlation with the vertical velocity v although the spatial-temporal dependencies are not yet fully understood. It was found that the Reynolds number and the Strouhal number, are sufficient to successfully scale the problem at larger dimensions and this is presently being exploited in order to design validation experiments using jets large enough to allow careful local measurements.
