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 The target plate on which the jets impinge is perforated so that spent air is withdrawn through the plate rather than at one or more edges of the array, as is usually the case in such investigations.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.

Local and average convective heat transfer coefficients were measured for arrays of widely spaced impinging air jets and correlated in terms of system geometry, air flow, and fluid properties. The configurations were square arrays of circular turbulent jets (spaced from 10–25 diameters apart) incident upon a flat isothermal target surface. Independent parameters were varied over ranges generally corresponding to gas turbine cooling applications. Local heat transfer coefficients were influenced by interference from neighboring jets only when the target plate and the jet orifice plate were less than five jet diameters apart. Average heat transfer coefficients were nearly equal for all the arrays tested as long as the coolant flow per unit area of target surface was held constant. In fact, there was a tendency for the more widely spaced configurations to produce slightly higher average heat transfer under such conditions.

An extensive study was conducted to determine the heat transfer characteristics of arrays of turbulent air jets impinging on perforated target surfaces. Spent air was withdrawn through vent holes on the surface, rather than along one or more of its edges, as had been done in all previous investigations. An earlier publication presented average heat transfer data for such systems; this paper gives results of comprehensive measurements of local heat transfer. Also given are the results of flow visualization studies, and an approximate mathematical model which predicts distributions of local heat transfer which agree satisfactorily with test data.

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 crossflow in one direction. Jet angle is varied between 30, 60, and 90deg as measured from the target 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 and pressure loss is determined along with the various interactions among these parameters.

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.

Convective heat transfer was measured for a heated axisymmetric air jet impinging on a flat surface. It was found that the local heat transfer coefficient does not depend explicitly upon the temperature mismatch between the jet fluid and the ambient fluid if the convection coefficient is defined in terms of the difference between the local recovery temperature and target surface temperature. In fact, profiles of local heat transfer coefficients defined in this manner were found to be identical to those measured for isothermal impinging jets.

Abstract The numerical investigation of the flow and heat transfer characteristics from arrays of impinging jets with the roughed target surface is presented in this paper. Three novel streamlined roughness elements are proposed: similar round protuberance, similar trapezoidal straight rib, and similar trapezoidal curved rib. The jet Reynolds number ranges from 15000 to 30000, the protuberance height is h/H = 0.36, the rib height is h/H = 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7 respectively. The results show that the protuberance can shorten the nozzle to the stagnation point distance, increasing the heat transfer at the stagnation point by nearly 40%. The rib has a remarkable effect of guiding the flow in span-wise direction and away from the target surface, weakening the cross-flow effect. The straight rib gets a better guidance performance, the curved rib provides a larger surface area. An appropriate increase of rib height can improve local heat transfer, continuing to increase mainly enlarge heat transfer area. The decent aerodynamic shape decreases the flow discharge coefficient by only 2% at the rib height of 0.3H.

The present study experimentally and numerically investigates the effect of channel height on the flow and heat transfer characteristics of a channel impingement cooling configuration for various jet Reynolds numbers in the range of 2000–8600. A single array consisting of eleven jets with 0.8 mm diameter injects water into the channel with 2 mm width at four different channel heights (3, 4, 5, and 6 mm). The average heat transfer coefficients at the target surface are measured by maintaining a temperature difference between the jet exit and the target surface in the range of 15–17 °C for each channel height. The experimental results show the average heat transfer coefficient at the target surface increases with the jet Reynolds number and decreases with the channel height. An average Nusselt number correlation is developed based on 85 experimentally measured data points with a mean absolute error of less than 4.31%. The numerical simulation accurately predicts the overall heat transfer rate within 10% error. The numerical results are analyzed to investigate the flow structure and its effect on the local heat transfer characteristics. The present study advances the primary understanding of the flow and heat transfer characteristics of the channel impingement cooling configuration with liquid jets.

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.
