The effects of uniform suction and nozzle exit velocity profile on the flow and heat-transfer characteristics of a semiconfined laminar impinging slot jet were investigated numerically. The full Navier-Stokes and energy equations were solved using a hybrid or upwind finite-difference representation of the equations cast into their vorticity-stream-function form. The importance of the nozzle exit profile is shown by comparison of the computed heat-transfer distribution with the available experimental data in the laminar range. Application of suction at the impingement surface is shown to enhance the local heat-transfer rates by a constant amount. The nondimensional heat-transfer coefficient and skin friction at the plate are computed as functions of the nozzle Reynolds number, the suction rate, and the nozzle velocity profile. The effect of temperature-dependent physical properties is included in the analysis.

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.

Abstract Two-dimensional Navier-Stokes simulations of heat and momentum transport in an intermittently grooved passage are performed using the spectral element technique for the Reynolds number range 600 ≤ Re ≤ 1800. The computational domain has seven contiguous transverse grooves cut symmetrically into opposite walls, followed by a flat section with the same length. Periodic inflow/outflow boundary conditions are employed. The development and decay of unsteady flow is observed in the grooved and flat sections, respectively. The axial variation of the unsteady component of velocity is compared to the local heat transfer, shear stress and pressure gradient. The results suggest that intermittently grooved passages may offer even higher heat transfer for a given pumping power than the levels observed in fully grooved passages.

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.

In this paper, the effect of crosswind flow and barrier placement on the performance of the condenser fan in a subway train is investigated. In addition, the amount of heat transfer on the condenser tubes is also analyzed. At different velocities of the train, variations in the velocity profile and drag force are determined for various geometries including triangular, rectangular, symmetric triangular barriers, and a barrier with parallel lines outside of the fan. Navier–Stokes, energy equations, and k– ω turbulence model have been used for the numerical modeling of the turbulent and incompressible flow. The results show that due to the created vortices behind the triangular and rectangular barriers, a negative velocity on the outflow of the fan is observed. Also, the symmetric triangular barrier minimizes the rotational flow on the top of the fan, and parallel paths have the most impact on the improvement of the fan's performance due to the elimination of all rotating flows. Finally, variations in temperature on the condenser tubes in the presence of barriers that are placed in the middle gap between the holes on the top of the condenser tubes are determined. These barriers move the crosswind flow toward the condenser tubes and decrease the output air temperature of the condenser.

In the literature, it is proved that grooved pipe models are thermally more efficient than the smooth pipe model. Different than the previous studies in which the groove dimensions are constant along the pipe, we study the effect of groove radius and the gap between adjacent grooves on the local heat transfer coefficients using computational fluid dynamics software. The grooved section consists of three sub-sections to see the effects of groove dimension in stream-wise flow direction. We vary the radius of circular grooves parametrically in each section to optimize the local groove radius throughout the pipe. We couple the fluid flow (1200<Re<24000) with energy equations, and the grooved sections are set as heated wall at constant temperature of 350 K. The optimal mesh has been selected by performing mesh independence study and finer mesh has been used in heated wall section. The radii of grooves are varied from 2 to 6 mm with an increment of 0.2 mm considering the manufacturability of the pipe, to do so we use the design of experiments (DOE). All DOE tools in ANSYS software are examined and compared with full factorial results. After DOE process, local heat transfer coefficient values of all groove parts are examined by response surface methodology (RSM).

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.

Flow And Heat Transfer

Laminar flow and heat transfer on a moving surface due to a bank of impinging slot jets have been numerically investigated. Two types of jet, namely axial and knife-jet with an exit angle of 60 deg were considered. The surface velocity up to two times the jet velocity at the nozzle exit was imposed on the impinging surface. It has been observed that while with increasing velocity of the impinging surface, the total heat transfer reduces; the distribution pattern becomes more uniform. For the same amount of mass and momentum flux at the nozzle exit, heat transfer from the axial jet is considerably higher than that from the vectored jets at all surface velocities considered. It was found that the local heat transfer over the surface for the case of the axial jet and the knife-jet scales with Re0.5 and Re0.55, respectively.

Higher turbine inlet temperatures are a common measure for increasing the thermal efficiency of modern gas turbines. This development leads not only to the need for more efficient turbine blade cooling but also to the requirement for a more profound knowledge of the mechanically and thermally stressed parts of the rotor. For determining thermal stresses from the temperature distribution in the rotor of a gas turbine, one has to encounter the convective transfer in rotor cavities. In the special case of an entirely closed gas-filled rotating annulus, the convective flow is governed by a strong natural convection. Owen and other researchers have found that the presence of turbulence and its inclusion in the modeling of the flow causes significant differences in the flow development in rotating annuli with throughflow, e.g., different vortex structures. However, in closed rotating annuli there is still a lack of knowledge concerning the influence of turbulence. Based on previous work, in this paper the influence of turbulence on the flow structure and on the heat transfer is investigated. The flow is investigated numerically with a three-dimensional Navier–Stokes solver, based on a pressure correction scheme. To account for the turbulence, a low-Reynolds-number k–ε model is employed. The results are compared with experiments performed at the Institute of Steam and Gas Turbines. The computations demonstrate that turbulence has a considerable influence on the overall heat transfer as well as on the local heat transfer distribution. Three-dimensional effects are discussed by comparing the three-dimensional calculation with a two-dimensional calculation of the same configuration and are found to have some impact.

Abstract The present work focuses on the effect of flow pulsation on the characteristics of the planar jet impingement normally on a heated surface. Specifically, the influence of frequency, amplitude and Reynolds number of the jet is examined, concerning the instantaneous and time average convective heat transfer. The simulations are conducted using a novel, improved Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) methodology that is based on particle discretization of the governing compressible Navier-Stokes equations. The simulation of jet impingement focuses on the quantitative description of the flow field and the energy exchange between jet and surface. The strong aerodynamic and thermal interaction that exists between the gaseous jet and the impingement surface greatly enhances the local heat transfer in the stagnation and wall jet regions as well as the average heat transfer over the surface. This study is the first step toward modeling the same process but in the presence of chemical reactions and ablation between the gaseous jet and the plate.
