The local heat transfer from a small heat source to a normally impinging, axisymmetric, and submerged liquid jet, in confined and unconfined configurations, was experimentally investigated. A single jet of FC-77 issuing from a round nozzle impinged onto a square foil heater, which dissipated a constant heat flux. The nozzle and the heat source were both mounted in large round plates to ensure axisymmetric radial outflow of the spent fluid. The local surface temperature of the heat source was measured at different radial locations (r/d) from the center of the jet in fine increments. Results for the local heat transfer coefficient distribution at the heat source are presented as functions of nozzle diameter (0.79 ≤ d ≤ 6.35 mm), Reynolds number (4000 to 23,000), and nozzle-to-heat source spacing (1 ≤ Z/d ≤ 14). Secondary peaks in the local heat transfer observed at r/d ≈ 2 were more pronounced at the smaller (confined) spacings and larger nozzle diameters for a given Reynolds number, and shifted radially outward from the stagnation point as the spacing increased. The secondary-peak magnitude increased with Reynolds number, and was higher than the stagnation value in some instances. Correlations are proposed for the stagnation and average Nusselt numbers as functions of these parameters.

This paper presents a numerical study that characterizes the conjugate heat transfer results of a semi–confined liquid jet impingement on a uniformly heated spinning solid disk of finite thickness and radius. The model covers the entire fluid region including the impinging jet on a flat circular disk and flow spreading out downstream under the confined insulated wall that ultimately gets exposed to a free surface boundary condition. The solution is made under steady state and laminar conditions. The model examines how the heat transfer is affected by adding a secondary rotational flow under semi-confined jet impingement. The study considered various standard materials, namely aluminum, copper, silver, Constantan and silicon; covering a range of flow Reynolds number (220–900), under a broad rotational rate range from 0 to 750 rpm, or Ekman number (7.08×10−5 – ∞), nozzle to target spacing (β = 0.25 – 1.0), disk thicknesses to nozzle diameter ratio (b/dn = 0.25 – 1.67), Prandtl number (1.29 – 124.44) using ammonia (NH3), water (H2O), flouroinert (FC-77) and oil (MIL-7808) as working fluids and solid to fluid thermal conductivity ratio (36.91 – 2222). High thermal conductivity plate materials maintained more uniform and lower interface temperature distributions. Higher Reynolds number increased local heat transfer coefficient reducing the interface temperature difference over the entire wall. Rotational rate increases local heat transfer coefficient under most conditions. These findings are important for the design improvement and control of semi-confined liquid jet impingement under a secondary rotation induced motion.

This paper presents the results of the numerical simulation of conjugate heat transfer during a semiconfined liquid jet impingement on a uniformly heated spinning solid disk of finite thickness and radius. This study considered various disk materials, namely, aluminum, copper, silver, Constantan, and silicon; covering a range of Reynolds number (220–900), Ekman number (7.08×10−5–∞), nozzle-to-target spacing (β=0.25–1.0), disk thicknesses to nozzle diameter ratio (b∕dn=0.25–1.67), and Prandtl number (1.29–124.44) using ammonia (NH3), water (H2O), flouroinert (FC-77), and oil (MIL-7808) as working fluids. The solid to fluid thermal conductivity ratio was 36.91–2222. A higher thermal conductivity plate material maintained a more uniform interface temperature distribution. A higher Reynolds number increased the local heat transfer coefficient. The rotational rate also increased the local heat transfer coefficient under most conditions.

Detailed heat transfer distributions are numerically investigated on a multiple jet impingement target surface with staggered arrays of spherical dimples where coolant can be extracted through film holes for external film cooling. The three dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes analysis with SST k-ω turbulence model is conducted at jet Reynolds number from 15,000 to 35,000. The separation distance between the jet plate and the target surface varies from 3 to 5 jet diameters and two jet-induced crossflow schemes are included to be referred as large and small crossflow at one and two opposite exit openings correspondingly. Flow and heat transfer results for the dimpled target plate with three suction ratios of 2.5%, 5.0% and 12.0% are compared with those on dimpled surfaces without film holes. The results indicate the presence of film holes could alter the local heat transfer distributions, especially near the channel outlets where the crossflow level is the highest. The heat transfer enhancements by applying film holes to the dimpled surfaces is improved to different degrees at various suction ratios, and the enhancements depend on the coupling effect of impingement and channel flow, which is relevant to jet Reynolds number, jet-to-plate spacing and crossflow scheme.

Abstract An unsteady local heat transfer in an air synthetic non-steady-state jet impingement onto a flat plate with a variation of the Reynolds number, nozzle-to-plate distance and pulses frequency is experimentally and numerically studied. Measurements of the averaged and pulsating heat transfer at the stagnation point are conducted using a heat flux sensor. The axisymmetric URANS method and the Reynolds stress model are used for numerical simulations. For local values of heat transfer, zones with the maximum instantaneous value of heat flux and heat transfer coefficient are identified. The heat transfer increases at relatively low nozzle-to-plate distances (H/d ≤ 4). The heat transfer decreases at high distance from the orifice and target surface. An increase in the Reynolds number causes reduction of heat transfer.

The influence of rotation and jet mass flow rate on the local heat transfer coefficient for a single confined impinging round jet with a fixed jet-to-wall spacing of H/d = 5 was studied for the jet Reynolds number from 6500 to 26,000 and the rotational Reynolds number from 0 to 112,000. The local heat transfer coefficient along the surface is measured and the effect of the rotation on the stagnation (peak) point, local and average Nusselt number, is presented and discussed. Furthermore, a correlation was developed for the average Nusselt number in terms of the parameters of Rej and ReΩ. In general, the combined jet impingement and rotation effect are shown to affect the heat transfer response. Rotation decreases the average Nusselt number values from 15 to 25 percent in outward and inward radial flow, respectively. Finally, comparisons of the present data with existing results for multijets with rotation were also made.

The flow structure and convective heat transfer behavior of a free liquid jet impinging on a hemispherical solid plate of finite thickness have been examined using a numerical analysis. The simulation model included the entire fluid region (impinging jet and flow spreading out over the convex surface) and solid plate as a conjugate problem. Solution was done for both isothermal and constant heat flux boundary conditions at the inner surface of the hemispherical plate. Computations were done for jet Reynolds number (ReJ) ranging from 500 to 2000 and the dimensionless nozzle to target spacing ratio (β) from 0.75 to 3. Results are presented for local heat transfer coefficient and the local Nusselt number using the following working fluids: water (H2O), flouroinert (FC-77), and oil (MIL-7808) and for various solid materials namely aluminum, Constantan, copper, silicon, and silver. It was observed that plate materials with higher thermal conductivity maintained a more uniform temperature distribution at the solid-fluid interface. A higher Reynolds number increased the Nusselt number and local heat transfer coefficient distributions over the entire solid-fluid interface.

The heat transfer characteristics of an impinging jet into a crossflow have been investigated by the liquid crystal thermography technique. The jet nozzle is circular and is inclined at 10 deg with respect to the target wall. In a turbulent flow regime, the effects of the jet Reynolds number, the velocity ratio, and the crossflow Reynolds number on the heat transfer are examined. The results show that the heat transfer patterns are strongly affected by the jet Reynolds number and the velocity ratio. For a given jet Reynolds number, it is found that the crossflow diminishes the peak Nusselt number in the jet impingement region. However, in the wall jet region, the results suggest that the local heat transfer is nearly independent of the crossflow Reynolds number.

Experiments are performed to determine the local heat transfer performance in a rotating serpentine passage with rib-roughened surfaces. The ribs are placed on the trailing and leading walls in a corresponding posited arrangement with an angle of attack of 90 deg. The rib height-to-hydraulic diameter ratio, e/Dh, is 0.0787 and the rib pitch-to-height ratio, s/e, is 11. The throughflow Reynolds number is varied, typically at 23,000, 47,000, and 70,000 in the passage both at rest and in rotation. In the rotation cases, the rotation number is varied from 0.023 to 0.0594. Results for the rib-roughened serpentine passages are compared with those of smooth ones in the literature. Comparison is also made on results for the rib-roughened passages between the stationary and rotating cases. It is disclosed that a significant enhancement is achieved in the heat transfer in both the stationary and rotating cases resulting from an installation of the ribs. Both the rotation and Rayleigh numbers play important roles in the heat transfer performance on both the trailing and leading walls. Although the Reynolds number strongly influences the Nusselt numbers in the rib-roughened passage of both the stationary and rotating cases, Nuo and Nu, respectively, it has little effect on their ratio Nu/Nuo.

Abstract Measurements of the local heat transfer distribution on smooth and roughened surfaces under an array of angled impinging jets are presented. The test rig is designed to simulate impingement with cross-flow in one direction which is a common method for cooling gas turbine components such as the combustion liner. Jet angle is varied between 30, 60, and 90 degrees as measured from the impingement surface, which is either smooth or randomly roughened. Liquid crystal video thermography is used to capture surface temperature data at five different jet Reynolds numbers ranging between 15,000 and 35,000. The effect of jet angle, Reynolds number, gap, and surface roughness on heat transfer efficiency and pressure loss is determined along with the various interactions among these parameters. Peak heat transfer coefficients for the range of Reynolds number from 15,000 to 35,000 are highest for orthogonal jets impinging on roughened surface; peak Nu values for this configuration ranged from 88 to 165 depending on Reynolds number. The ratio of peak to average Nu is lowest for 30-degree jets impinging on roughened surfaces. It is often desirable to minimize this ratio in order to decrease thermal gradients, which could lead to thermal fatigue. High thermal stress can significantly reduce the useful life of engineering components and machinery. Peak heat transfer coefficients decay in the cross-flow direction by close to 24% over a dimensionless length of 20. The decrease of spanwise average Nu in the crossflow direction is lowest for the case of 30-degree jets impinging on a roughened surface where the decrease was less than 3%. The decrease is greatest for 30-degree jet impingement on a smooth surface where the stagnation point Nu decreased by more than 23% for some Reynolds numbers.

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.
