The objective of this study is to investigate the thermal performance and the cost measured in pressure drops of a targeted cooling system with use of an impinging jet in combination with a low-velocity channel flow on a heated wall-mounted cube. The effects of the Reynolds numbers of the impinging jet and the cross-flow, as well as the distance between the top and bottom plates, are investigated. A steady-state 3D computational fluid dynamics model was developed with use of a Reynolds stress model as turbulence model. The geometrical case is a channel with a heated cube in the middle of the base plate and two inlets, one horizontal channel flow and one vertical impinging jet. The numerical model was validated against experimental data with a similar geometrical setup. The velocity field was measured by particle image velocimetry and the surface temperature was measured by an infrared imaging system. This case results in a very complex flow structure where several flow-related phenomena influence the heat transfer rate and the pressure drops. The average heat transfer coefficients on each side of the cube and the pressure loss coefficients are presented; correlations for the average heat transfer coefficient on the cube and the pressure loss coefficients are created.

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.

The current trends toward the greater functionality of electronic devices are resulting in a steady increase in the amount of heat dissipated from electronic components. Forced channel flow is frequently used to remove heat at the walls of the channel where a PCB with a few high heat dissipating components is located. The overall cooling strategy thus must not only match the overall power dissipation load, but also address the requirements of the “hot” components. In order to cool the thermal load with forced channel flow, excessive flow rates will be required. The objective of this study is to investigate if targeted cooling systems, i.e., an impinging jet in combination with a low velocity channel flow, can improve the thermal performance of the system. The steady-state three-dimensional (3-D) model is developed with the Reynolds-Stress-Model (RSM) as a turbulence model. The geometrical case is a channel with a heated cube in the middle of the base plate and two inlets, one horizontal channel flow, and one vertical impinging jet. The numerical model is validated against experimental data obtained from three well-known cases, two cases with an impinging jet on a flat heated plate, and one case with a heated cube in a single channel flow. The effects of the jet Re and jet to-cross-flow velocity ratio are investigated. The airflow pattern around the cube and the surface temperature of the cube as well as the mean values and local distributions of the heat transfer coefficient are presented.

На основе уравнений теплопереноса в движущейся среде и соотношений теплопередачи в термоэлектрическом охладителе приведен сравнительный анализ методик расчета поля температуры в теплонапряженном элементе. Рассмотрены методики на основе: 1) теплового баланса, 2) среднего коэффициента теплоотдачи, 3) дифференциального коэффициента теплоотдачи, 4) прямого расчета в рамках метода конечных элементов. Установлено, что первые две методики не дают адекватного распределения поля температур, но могут быть полезны для определения принципиальной возможности заданного охлаждения с использованием термоэлектрических элементов. Последние две методики позволяют корректно рассчитать температурное поле, но для использования третьей методики необходим дифференциальный коэффициент теплоотдачи, который может быть найден из расчета по четвертой методике. Сделан вывод о необходимости комбинированного использования методик в общем случае. Методы теплового баланса и среднего коэффициента теплоотдачи позволяют определить принципиальную возможность использования термоэлектрического охлаждения конкретного теплонапряженного элемента (ТЭ). Реальные параметры системы охлаждения должны определяться в рамках комбинации методов дифференциального коэффициента теплоотдачи и конечных элементов (МКЭ). Первый из них позволяет определить теплонапряженные области и рассчитать параметры системы охлаждения, которые обеспечивают тепловую разгрузку этих областей. Второй метод используется для проведения численных экспериментов по определению коэффициента теплоотдачи реальной конструкции The article presents on the basis of the equations of heat transfer in a moving medium and the relations of heat transfer in a thermoelectric cooler, a comparative analysis of methods for calculating the temperature field in a heat-stressed element. We considered methods based on: 1) heat balance, 2) average heat transfer coefficient, 3) differential heat transfer coefficient, 4) direct calculation using the finite element method. We established that the first two methods do not provide an adequate distribution of the temperature field but can be useful for determining the principal possibility of a given cooling using thermoelectric elements. The last two methods allow us to correctly calculate the temperature field; but to use the third method, we need a differential heat transfer coefficient, which can be found from the calculation using the fourth method. We made a conclusion about the need for combined use of methods in a general case. The methods of thermal balance and average heat transfer coefficient allow us to determine the principal possibility of using thermoelectric cooling of a specific heat-stressed element. The actual parameters of the cooling system should be determined using a combination of the differential heat transfer coefficient and the finite element method. The first of them allows us to determine the heat-stressed areas and calculate the parameters of the cooling system that provide thermal discharge of these areas. The second method is used to perform numerical experiments to determine the heat transfer coefficient of a real structure

Flow Case

Turbine generator operates with complex cooling system due to the challenge in controlling the peak temperature of the stator bar caused by ohm loss, which is unavoidable. Therefore, it is important to characterise and quantifies the thermal performance of the cooling system. The focus of the present research is to investigate the heat transfer and pressure loss characteristics of typical cooling system, so-called stator ventilation duct. A real scale model was built at its operating conditions for the present study. The direction of cooling air is varied to consider its operation condition, so that there are (1) outward flow and (2) inward flow cases. In addition, the effect of (3) cross flow (inward with cross flow case) is also studied. The transient heat transfer method using thermochromic liquid crystals is implemented to measure full surface heat transfer distribution. A series of Computational Fluid Dynamics analysis is also conducted to support the observation from the experiment. For the inward flow case, the results suggest that the average Nusselt number of the 2nd duct is about 30% higher than the 3rd duct. The trend is similar with the effect of cross flow. The CFD results are in good agreement with the experimental data.

A series of experiments were conducted to investigate the detailed heat transfer characteristics of a large scaled model of a turbine blade internal cooling system. The cooling system has one passage in the leading edge and a triple passage for the remained region with two U-bends. A large scaled model (2 times) is designed to acquire high resolution measurement. The similarity of the test model was conducted with Reynolds number at the inlet of the internal cooling system. The model is designed to simulate the flow at engine condition including film extractions to match the changes in flowrates through the internal cooling system. Also, 45 deg ribs were installed for heat transfer enhancement. The experiments were performed varying Reynolds number in the range of 20,000 to 100,000 with and without ribs under stationary condition. This study employs transient heat transfer technique using thermochromic liquid crystal (TLC) to obtain full surface heat transfer distributions. The results show the detailed heat transfer distributions and pressure loss. The characteristics of pressure loss is largely dependent on the changes in cross-sectional area along the passages, the presence of U-bends and the extraction of coolant flow through film holes. The local and area averaged Nusselt number were compared to available correlations. Finally, the thermal performance counting the heat transfer enhancement as well as pressure penalty is presented.

Impingement heat transfer investigations with obstacle (fins) on the target surface were carried out with the obstacles aligned normal to the cross-flow. Conjugate heat transfer (CHT) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis were used for the geometries previously been investigated experimentally. A 10 × 10 row of impingement jet holes or hole density, n, of 4306 m−2 with ten rows of holes in the cross-flow direction was used. The impingement hole pitch X to diameter D, X/D, and gap Z to diameter, Z/D, ratios were kept constant at 4.66 and 3.06 for X, D and Z of 15.24, 3.27 and 10.00 mm, respectively. Nimonic 75 test walls were used with a thickness of 6.35 mm. Two different shaped obstacles of the same flow blockage were investigated: a continuous rectangular ribbed wall of 4.5 mm height, H, and 3.0 mm thick and 8 mm high rectangular pin-fins that were 8.6 mm wide and 3.0 mm thick. The obstacles were equally spaced on the centre-line between each row of impingement jets and aligned normal to the cross-flow. The two obstacles had height to diameter ratios, H/D, of 1.38 and 2.45, respectively. Comparison of the predictions and experimental results were made for the flow pressure loss, ΔP/P, and the surface average heat transfer coefficient (HTC), h. The computations were carried out for air coolant mass flux, G, of 1.08, 1.48 and 1.94 kg/sm2bar. The pressure loss and surface average HTC for all the predicted G showed reasonable agreement with the experimental results, but the predictions for surface averaged h were below the measured values by 5–10%. The predictions showed that the main effect of the ribs and pins was to increase the pressure loss, which led to an increased flow maldistribution between the ten rows of holes. This led to lower heat transfer over the first 5 holes and higher heat transfer over the last 3 holes and the net result was little benefit of either obstacle relative to a smooth wall. The results were significantly worse than the same obstacles aligned for co-flow, where the flow maldistribution changes were lower and there was a net benefit of the obstacles on the surface averaged heat transfer coefficient.

A generic impingement cooling system for turbomachinery application is modeled experimentally and numerically to investigate heat transfer and pressure loss characteristics. The experimental setup consists of an array of 9 × 9 jets impinging on a target plate with cubic micro pin fins. The cubic micro pin fins have an edge length of 0.22 D and enlarge the target area by 150%. Experimentally heat transfer is measured by the transient liquid crystal (TLC) method. The transient method used requires a heated jet impinging on a cold target plate. As reference temperature for the heat transfer coefficient, we use the total jet inlet temperature which is measured via thermocouples in the jet center. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was realized within the software package ANSYS CFX. This model uses a Steady-state 3D Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) approach and the shear stress transport (SST) turbulence model. Boundary conditions are chosen to mimic the experiments as close as possible. The effects of different jet-to-plate spacing (H/D = 3–5), crossflow schemes, and jet Reynolds number (15,000–35,000) are investigated experimentally and numerically. The results include local Nusselt numbers as well as area and line averaged values. Numerical simulations allow a detailed insight into the fluid mechanics of the problem and complement experimental measurements. A good overall agreement of experimental and numerical behavior for all investigated cases could be reached. Depending on the crossflow scheme, the cubic micro pin fin setup increases the heat flux to about 134–142% compared to a flat target plate. At the same time, the Nusselt number slightly decreases. The micro pin fins increase the pressure loss by not more than 14%. The results show that the numerical model predicts the heat transfer characteristics of the cubic micro pin fins in a satisfactory way.

Local endwall heat transfer characteristics and overall pressure loss of normal and inclined pin fins arrayed in rectangular ducts with flat and wavy endwalls have been investigated to improve the cooling efficiency of jet engine combustor liners. The detailed time-mean local Nusselt number profiles were measured using a naphthalene sublimation method based on the heat/mass transfer analogy. Four kinds of angled pin fins (−45, 0, and +45 degrees with a flat endwall, and −45 degrees with a wavy endwall) were tested and compared with each other. As a result, the average heat transfer coefficient on the flat endwall of normal pin fins was higher than that of the angled pin fins. The average heat transfer coefficient of −45-degree inclined pin fins with a wavy endwall is the same or a little higher than the heat transfer coefficient of those with a flat endwall; however, the pressure loss of the −45-degree inclined pin fins with a wavy endwall is less than the pressure loss of those with a flat endwall. Corresponding numerical simulations using Large Eddy Simulation (LES) with the Mixed Time Scale (MTS) model have been also conducted at Red = 1000 for fully developed regions, and the results have shown good quantitative agreement with mass transfer experiments. It can be concluded that wavy endwalls can realize better heat transfer with less pressure loss as long as the aim consists in enhancing endwall heat transfer in inclined pin-fin channels.
