This paper consider the effects of temperature ratio on the heat transfer from an array of jets impinging on a flat plate. At a constant Reynolds number of 18,000 and a constant Mach number of 0.2, different ratios of target plate temperature to jet temperature are employed. The spacing between holes in the streamwise direction X is 8D, and the spanwise spacing between holes in a given streamwise row Y is also 8D. The target plate is located 3D away from the impingement hole exits. Experimental results show that local, line-averaged, and spatially averaged Nusselt numbers decrease as the Twa∕Tj temperature ratio increases. This is believed to be due to the effects of temperature-dependent fluid properties, as they affect local and global turbulent transport in the flow field created by the array of impinging jets. The effect of temperature ratio on crossflow-to-jet mass velocity ratio and discharge coefficients is also examined.

Recent work, Van Treuren et al. (1993, 1994), has shown the transient method of measuring heat transfer under an array of impinging jets allows the determination of local values of adiabatic wall temperature and heat transfer coefficient over the complete surface of the target plate. Using this technique, an inline and staggered array of impinging jets was tested over a range of average jet Reynolds numbers (10,000–40,000) for three impingement plate to target plate separations (1, 2 and 4). The array was confined on three sides and spent flow was allowed to exit in one direction. Local and average values are presented. These values for the two array configurations are then compared with each other as well as with previously published data in related geometries. A new correlation technique is presented, based on the local data, which breaks the target surface into jet and crossflow areas of interest, with excellent results. The correlation uses the local jet Reynolds number and local jet-to-crossflow mass velocity ratio. This new technique compared favourably with published correlations. Also presented is the influence of the impingement plate on the target plate heat transfer in the form of an effectiveness parameter. This influence is accounted for in the correlation.

Using this technique, an inline array of impinging jets has been tested over a range of average jet Reynolds numbers (10,000–40,000) and for three channel height to jet hole diameter ratios (1, 2, and 4). The array is confined on three sides and spent flow is allowed to exit in one direction. Local values are averaged and compared with previously published data in related geometries. The current data for a staggered array is compared to those from an inline array with the same hole diameter and pitch for an average jet Reynolds number of 10,000 and channel height to diameter ratio of one. A comparison is made between intensity and hue techniques for measuring stagnation point and local distributions of heat transfer. The influence of the temperature of the impingement plate through which the coolant gas flows on the target plate heat transfer has been quantified.

Impinging jet arrays are typically used to cool several gas turbine parts. Some examples of such applications can be found in the internal cooling of high-pressure turbine airfoils or in the turbine blade tip clearances control of aero-engines. The effect of the wall-to-jets temperature ratio (TR) on heat transfer is generally neglected by the correlations available in the open literature. In the present contribution, the impact of the temperature ratio on the heat transfer for a real engine active clearance control system is analyzed by means of validated computational fluid dynamics (CFD) computations. At different jets Reynolds number and considering several impingement array arrangements, a wide range of target wall-to-jets temperature ratio is accounted for. Computational results prove that both local and averaged Nusselt numbers reduce with increasing. An in-depth analysis of the numerical data shows that the last mentioned evidence is motivated by both the heat transfer incurring between the spent coolant flow and the fresh jets and the variation of gas properties with temperature through the boundary layer. A scaling procedure, based on the TR power law, was proposed to estimate the Nusselt number at different wall temperature levels necessary to correct available open-literature correlations, typically developed with small temperature differences, for real engine applications.

Efforts have been given to improve the turbine blades ability to withstand high temperature for a long period of time by implementing effective cooling system. There are many aspects that should be considered when implementing impingement cooling. This paper will only cover two trending aspects in impingement cooling implementation; the jet-to-target plate distance and the application of ribs in promoting better impingement cooling performance. For target plate distance to impingement jet diameter value, H/d > 1, the area-averaged Nusselt number also decreases as the H/d value increases. This may have been due to a reduction of the amount of momentum exerted by the impinging jets onto the target plate. For H/d < 1, the results have been proven otherwise. Heat transfer in impingement/effusion cooling system in crossflow with rib turbulators showed higher heat transfer rate than that of a surface without ribs because the ribs prevent the wall jets from being swept away by the crossflow and increase local turbulence of the flow near the surface. It could be concluded that both H/d ratio and ribs installation play an important role in enhancing impingement cooling systems heat transfer effectiveness.

An analytical model is developed to determine the effect of the temperature of entrained fluid (entrainment temperature) on the local heat transfer to a single, plane, turbulent impinging jet. Solutions of the momentum and energy equations for a single impinging jet are accomplished using similarity and series analyses. Solutions of the energy equation are obtained for the two limiting cases of entrainment temperatures equal to the plate temperature and the initial jet temperature. The analytical solutions are superposed to obtain the solution for all intermediate entrainment temperatures. The constants in the turbulence model are determined by comparing the analytical solutions to experimentally determined local heat transfer rates for single impinging jets issuing into an environment with a controlled entrainment temperature. When the single jet model is applied to jet arrays it predicts that the entrainment in the recirculation region between the jets can significantly affect the heat transfer. Comparison of the model to heat transfer measurements performed for jet arrays shows that the model successfully predicts the local heat transfer in jet arrays.

Measurements of average convective heat transfer are reported for square arrays of impinging air jets. The target plate on which the jets impinge is perforated so that spent air is withdrawn through the plate rather than at one or more edges of the array, as is usually the case in such investigations. Jet holes and vent holes had the same diameters, but the spacing of the jet holes was twice that of the vent holes. This information is especially relevent to the design of hybrid cooling configurations, in which a surface is cooled by the combined mechanisms of impingement and transpiration. Tests were conducted for both inline arrangements (with a vent hole opposite each jet orifice) and for staggered arrangements; and the latter always yielded higher average heat transfer. The degradation of performance of inline arrays was most pronounced when the clearance between the jet orifice plate and the target plate was small. Under these conditions, a significant portion of each jet flows directly out through the opposing vent without “scrubbing” the target surface. Arrays with staggered vent holes yield heat transfer rates consistently higher (sometimes by as much as 35 percent) than the same jet array with edge venting. The authors attribute the superior performance of the former geometry to high local heat transfer due to boundary layer suction in the vicinities of the vent holes.

Film cooling experiments have been conducted at conditions which realistically simulate the gas turbine environment. Heat transfer has been measured using a short duration wind tunnel. Mainstream injection and wall temperatures have been varied independently in order to conduct a systematic investigation of the injection process. A model of the film cooling process based on the principle of superposition is used to interpret the experimental results. The effect of gas to wall temperature ratio on heat transfer to an uncooled plate has also been investigated.

A transient method of measuring the local heat transfer under an array of impinging jets has been developed. The use of a temperature sensitive coating consisting of three encapsulated thermochromic liquid crystal materials has allowed the calculation of both the local adiabatic wall temperature and the local heat transfer coefficient over the complete surface of the target plate. The influence of the temperature of the plate through which the impingement gas flows on the target plate heat transfer has been quantified. Results are presented for a single inline array configuration over a range of jet Reynolds numbers.
