In the present paper, numerical study of flow and heat transfer properties of RP-3 kerosene at liquid and supercritical conditions in an impingement model is conducted with renormalization group (RNG) k−ε turbulence model and a ten-species surrogate of kerosene. The independence of grids is first studied, and the numerical results are compared with experimental data for validation. Characteristics of flow and heat transfer of kerosene flow in the impingement model are studied with different inlet mass flow rates and different inlet temperatures. The velocity and temperature field show similar profile compared to that of air impingement. The heat transfer rates increase first with the increasing of inlet temperature and then decrease suddenly when the inlet temperature is 500 K.

A numerical analysis of effectiveness of micro-jet impingement cooling on leading edge of a turbine vane is presented. An axisymmetric single round jet was assessed for its ability and consistency as a preliminary study including the investigation of parameters influencing the heat transfer distribution. The analysis revealed that an increase in Nusselt number was attributed to increase in Reynolds number, decrease in jet diameter and H/D < 3. Significant improvement in heat transfer was observed for tapering nozzle configuration. The study was then further expanded to 3D analysis of leading edge cooling of turbine vane. Effect of nozzle diameter to micro-scale was studied, which showed 65% enhancement in the heat transfer rates.

Indirect passive solar crop dryers have the potential to considerably reduce the losses that presently occur during drying of some crops in many parts of the “developing” world. The performance so far achieved with such dryers has, however, not proved to be very satisfactory. If this performance is to be improved it is necessary to have an accurate computer model of such dryers to assist in their design. An important element is any dryer model is an accurate equation for the convective heat transfer in the collector. To assist in the development of such an equation, an experimental and numerical study of the collector heat transfer has been undertaken. In the experimental study, the collector was simulated by a 1m long by 1m wide channel with a gap of 4 cm between the upper and lower surfaces. The lower surface of the channel consisted of an aluminium plate with an electrical heating element, simulating the solar heating, bonded to its lower surface. Air was blown through this channel at a measured rate and the temperature profiles at various points along the channel were measured using a shielded thermocouple probe. Local heat transfer rates were then determined from these measured temperature profiles. In the numerical study, the parabolic forms of the governing equations were solved by a forward-marching finite difference procedure.
