This study comprehensively illustrates the effect of Reynolds number, hole spacing, jet-to-target distance, and hole inclination on the convective heat transfer performance of an impinging jet array. Spatially resolved target surface heat transfer coefficient distributions are measured using transient liquid crystal (TLC) measurement techniques, over a range of Reynolds numbers from 5000 to 25,000. Considered are effects of streamwise and spanwise jet-to-jet spacing (X/D, Y/D: 4–8) and jet-to-target plate distance (Z/D: 0.75–3). Overall, a test matrix of 36 different configurations is employed. In addition, the effect of hole inclination (θ: 0–40 deg) on the heat transfer coefficient is investigated. Optimal hole spacing arrangements and impingement distance are pointed out to maximize the area-averaged Nusselt number and minimize the amount of cooling air. Also included is a new correlation, based on that of Florschuetz et al., to predict row-averaged Nusselt number. The new correlation is capable to cover low Z/D ∼ 0.75 and presents better prediction of row-averaged Nusselt number, which proves to be an effective impingement design tool.

This study comprehensively illustrates the effect of Reynolds number, hole spacing, jet-to-target distance and hole inclination on the convective heat transfer performance of an impinging jet array. Highly resolved heat transfer coefficient distributions on the target plate are obtained utilizing transient liquid crystal over a range of Reynolds numbers varying between 5,000 and 25,000. Effect of streamwise and spanwise jet-to-jet spacing (X/D, Y/D: 4–8) and jet-to-target plate distance (Z/D: 0.75–3) are employed composing a test matrix of 36 different geometries. Additionally, the effect of hole inclination (θ: 0°–40°) on the heat transfer coefficient is investigated. Optical hole spacing arrangements and impingement distance are pointed out to maximize the area-averaged Nusselt number and minimize the amount of cooling air. Also included is a new correlation, based on that of Florschuetz et al., to predict row-averaged Nusselt number. The new correlation is capable to cover low Z/D∼0.75 and presents better prediction of row-averaged Nusselt number, which proves to be an effective impingement design tool.

The paper describes an experimental procedure performed to obtain the convective heat transfer coefficient of Al2O3 nanofluid working as cooling fluid under turbulent regimen through arrays of aluminum microchannel heat sink having a diameter of 1.2 mm. Experimental Nusselt number correlation as a function of the volume fractions, Reynolds, Peclet and Prandtl numbers for a constant heat flux boundary condition is presented. The correlation for Nusselt number has a good agreement with experimental data and can be used to predict heat transfer coefficient for this specific nanofluid, water/Al2O3. Furthermore, the pressure drop is also analyzed considering the different nanoparticles concentration.

Measurements of the distribution of convective heat transfer over the five exposed faces of a low profile electronic package are described. The package, of square planform and length-to-height ratio, L/a = 6, is part of a regular array of such elements attached to one wall of a low aspect ratio channel. The coolant is air, and experiments are described for the Reynolds number range, 3000<Re<7000. The average heat transfer coefficient for the top face is found to be nearly equal to the overall average heat transfer coefficient for the element. The average heat transfer coefficient for the upstream face and two side faces are higher than the overall average by approximately 30–40 percent and 20–30 percent, respectively while that for the downstream face is 20–30 percent less than the overall average. Furthermore, the distribution in local heat transfer coefficient over the five surfaces of the element is approximately independent of variations in Reynolds number.

The scope of the present work is to characterize the heat transfer between a ribbed surface and an air flow. The convective heat transfer coefficients, the Stanton number and the Nusselt number were calculated in the Reynolds number range, 5.13 × 105 to 1.02 × 106. The tests were performed inside a turbulent wind tunnel with one roughness height (e/Dh = 0.07). The ribs had triangular section with an attack angle of 60°. The surface temperatures were measured using an infrared (IR) thermographic equipment, which allows the measurement of the temperature with a good spatial definition (10.24 × 10−6 m2) and a resolution of 0.1°C. The experimental measures allowed the calculation of the convective heat transfer coefficient, the Stanton number and the Nusselt number. The results obtained suggested a flow pattern that includes both reattachment and recirculation. Low values of the dimensionless Stanton number, i.e. Stx*, are obtained at the recirculation zones and very high values of Stx* at the zones of reattachment. The reattachment is located at a dimensionless distance of 0.38 from the top of the rib. That distance seems to be independent of the Reynolds number. The local dimensionless Stanton number remains constant as the Reynolds number varies. The convective heat transfer coefficient presents an uncertainty in the range of 3 to 6%.

In this study, investigation of convective heat transfer enhancement with the use of CuO–Polyaniline (CuO–PANI) nanocomposite basednanofluid inside vertical helically coiled tube heat exchanger was carried out experimentally. In these experiments, the effects of different parameters such as Reynolds number and volume % of CuO–PANI nanocomposite in nanofluid on the heat transfer coefficient of base fluid have been studied. In order to study the effect of CuO–PANI nanocomposite based nanofluid on heat transfer, CuO nanoparticles loaded in PANI were synthesized in the presence of ultrasound assisted environment at different loading concentration of CuO nanoparticles (1, 3 and 5 wt.%). Then the nanofluids were prepared at different concentrations of CuO–PANI nanocomposite using water as a base fluid. The 1 wt.% CuO–PANI nanocomposite was selected for the heat transfer study for nanofluid concentration in the range of 0.05 to 0.3 volume % and Reynolds number range of was 1080 to 2160 (±5). Around 37 % enhancement in the heat transfer coefficient was observed for 0.2 volume % of 1 wt.% CuO–PANI nanocomposite in the base fluid. In addition, significant enhancement in the heat transfer coefficient was observed with an increase in the Reynolds number and percentage loading of CuO nanoparticle in Polyaniline (PANI).

An experiment was performed to determine the convective heat-transfer coefficient to heated and cooled gas solids suspensions at a Reynolds number of 130,000. Measurements of the heat transfer were performed by traversing the stream at various locations along the pipe with specially designed probes which measured air and particle temperature locally. The results showed that for a high Reynolds number, the heat-transfer coefficient for the suspension appears to be equal to that of the pure gas at the same Reynolds number, and independent of solids loading ratio, heating or cooling, and particle size (between 0.0011 and 0.0058 in. dia).

Abstract A new method for determining the heat transfer coefficient for air flowing steadily through beds of particles is presented. In this technique, a step change in the inlet air temperature is applied to a small test bed and temperature distributions in the bed and at the air outlet are sampled over a short time period. The convective heat transfer coefficient is determined using data from the convective heat transfer process in the bed where the analysis includes the partial differential equation that describes the transient energy storage in the particles within the bed. The analysis is performed for a short time duration when the temperature distribution in the particle bed is almost linear along the axis of the bed. This time period permits the most accurate determination of the heat transfer coefficient using the data. Using beds of spherical particles a new correlation is developed for the Nusselt number versus the Reynolds number (5&lt;Redh&lt;280) and includes the uncertainty bounds. This new correlation compares well with correlations developed by some other researchers for similar spherical particle beds.

A comprehensive experiment was conducted for heat transfer characteristics for an array of impinging gaseous slot jets to a flat plate with strong turbulence (nozzle exit Reynolds number Re=22500~64700).Find that turbulence intensity of flow has an important influence on local forced convective heat transfer coefficient. Meanwhile, the nozzle-to-plate spacing and nozzle exit Reynolds number Re would affect the mean forced convective heat transfer coefficient of the slot jets. And heat transfer efficiency of slot jets has been set to show the relation between ability of the jets and energy consumption of gas supply.
