Flow And Heat Transfer

Computations were performed to study the flow and heat transfer in a jet-impingement configuration in which there is no cross flow about the impinging cooling jets. The configuration consists of two sets of staggered arrays of holes with one array of holes for jets to impinge and cool a target wall with or without strategically positioned pin fins and a second array positioned midway relative to the first array of holes for the impinging jets to exit the configuration. For this configuration, the following parameter were investigated: distance between the jet-hole exit and the target surface to be cooled (H/d = 0.5, 1, 4), spacing between jets (S/d = 2, 4), and pin-fin height (Hp/d = 0, 1, 2) on the target surface, where d is the diameter of the holes in the arrays. Also, the jet-impingement velocity was varied to study a range Reynolds numbers based on the hole diameter d and the mean velocity of the jet in the hole (Red = 20,000, 40,000, and 60,000). For all cases studied, the temperature of the coolant air is 673 K; the wall to be cooled is maintained at 1,273 K; and the static pressure at the exit of the jet-impingement array is maintained at 25 bars. This computational study is based on steady RANS – compressible Navier-Stokes with the shear-stress transport model for turbulence where integration is to the wall (i.e., wall functions were not used) and temperature-dependent properties are accounted for.

Flow And Heat Transfer

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.

Abstract An experimental study was completed to quantify heat transfer enhancement, pressure loss, and crossflow effect within a channel of inline impinging jets. The jet diameter is 5.08 mm and the jet-to-jet spacing in the streamwise and spanwise directions is fixed at x/d = 11.1 and y/d = 5.9, respectively. The effect of jet-to-target surface spacing was considered with z/d = 3 and 6. For both of the jet-to-target surface spacings, a smooth surface, the reference case, and a surface roughened with partial height pins were investigated. The roughened surface has a staggered array of 120 partial height copper pin fins. The pin to jet diameter and the pin height to diameter ratios are D/d = 0.94 and H/D = 1.6, respectively. Regionally averaged heat transfer coefficient distributions were measured on the target surface, and these distributions were coupled with pressure measurements through the array. The heat transfer augmentation and pressure penalty were investigated over a range of jet Reynolds numbers (10K–70K). The results show high discharge coefficients for all the cases. The channels with the tight jet-to-target surface spacing experience double the cross-flow effect of its increased spacing counterpart. The addition of surface roughness showed a negligible effect on the crossflow. The best heat transfer performance was observed in the impingement channel with the pinned target surface at z/d = 3.

Swirling impinging jet (SIJ) is considered as an effective means to achieve uniform cooling at high heat transfer rates, and the complex flow structure and its mechanism of enhancing heat transfer have attracted much attention in recent years. The large eddy simulation (LES) technique is employed to analyze the flow fields of swirling and non-swirling impinging jet emanating from a hole with four spiral and straight grooves, respectively, at a relatively high Reynolds number (Re) of 16,000 and a small jet spacing of H/D = 2 on a concave surface with uniform heat flux. Firstly, this work analyzes two different sub-grid stress models, and LES with the wall-adapting local eddy-viscosity model (WALEM) is established for accurately predicting flow and heat transfer performance of SIJ on a flat surface. The complex flow field structures, spectral characteristics, time-averaged flow characteristics and heat transfer on the target surface for the swirling and non-swirling impinging jets are compared in detail using the established method. The results show that small-scale recirculation vortices near the wall change the nearby flow into an unstable microwave state, resulting in small-scale fluctuation of the local Nusselt number (Nu) of the wall. There is a stable recirculation vortex at the stagnation point of the target surface, and the axial and radial fluctuating speeds are consistent with the fluctuating wall temperature. With the increase in the radial radius away from the stagnation point, the main frequency of the fluctuation of wall temperature coincides with the main frequency of the fluctuation of radial fluctuating velocity at x/D = 0.5. Compared with 0° straight hole, 45° spiral hole has a larger fluctuating speed because of speed deflection, resulting in a larger turbulence intensity and a stronger air transport capacity. The heat transfer intensity of the 45° spiral hole on the target surface is slightly improved within 5–10%.

Impingement heat transfer is significantly affected by initial cross-flow or by the presence of cross-flow from upstream spent jets. In this study, a zero cross-flow design is presented. The zero-crossflow design creates spacing between hole arrays to allow for spent flow to be directed away from impinging jets. Three configurations with different impingement holes placements are studied and compared with pure impingement with spent crossflow cases for the same jet Reynolds number. Three jet Reynolds numbers are studied for Rej = 10000, 20000, and 30000. Detailed heat transfer distributions are obtained using the transient liquid crystal technique. The zero-cross flow design clearly shows minimal degradation of impingement heat transfer due to crossflow compared to conventional design with lower mass flow rate requirement and lesser number of overall impingement holes due to the reduced cross-flow effect on the impingement region.

Experimental studies on heat transfer and flow structure in confined impingement jets were performed. The objective of this study was to investigate the detailed heat transfer coefficient distribution on the jet impingement target surface and flow structure in the confined cavity. The distribution of heat transfer coefficients on the target surface was obtained by employing the transient liquid crystal method coupled with a 3-D inverse transient conduction scheme under Reynolds number ranging from 1039 to 5175. The results show that the average heat transfer coefficients increased linearly with the Reynolds number as Nu = 0.00304 Pr0.42Re. The effects of cross flow on heat transfer were investigated. The flow structure were analyzed to gain insight into convective heat transfer behavior.

In this study, effects of extended jet holes to heat transfer and flow characteristics of jet impingement cooling were numerically investigated. Cross-flow in the impinging jet cooling adversely affects the heat transfer on the target surface. The main purpose of this study is to reduce the negative effect of cross-flow on heat transfer by extending jet holes toward the target surface with nozzles. This study has been conducted under turbulent flow condition (15,000 ≤ Re  ≤  45,000). The surface of the turbine blade, which is the target surface, has been modeled as a flat plate. The effect of the ribs, placed on the target surface, on the heat transfer has been also investigated, and the results were compared with the flat surface. The parameters such as average and local Nusselt numbers on the target surface, flow characteristics, and compressor power have been examined in detail. It was obtained from the numerical results that the average Nusselt number increases with decreasing the gap between the target surface and the nozzle. In addition, the higher average Nusselt number was obtained on the flat surface than the ribbed surface. The lowest compressor power was achieved in the 5Dj nozzle gap for the flat surface and in the 4Dj nozzle gap for the ribbed surface.

The current study focused on the effects of varying jet diameter and surface roughness on the target plate from jet impingement. A single row of five jets, plenum fed, expels air onto the flat target surface and the spent air is constrained to exit in only one direction, causing the jets to encounter maximum cross-flow. Baseline jet plates were equipped with pressure taps, one for each jet, to determine flow. The initial parameters, diameter D, height to diameter H/D, and jet spacing to diameter S/D is 9.53 mm (0.375 in), 2 and 4 respectively. Upon defining the optimum array of jet diameters, three test cases will be conducted using different surface features, 90 degree ribs, chevrons and X-shaped ribs on the target plate to further enhance the heat transfer performance of the jet impingement. The parameters, width W and height H, for the surface features will be set constant at 3.18 mm (0.125 in). The Reynolds number, Re, in this experimental study ranged from 50,000 to 80,000. A transient liquid crystal technique is employed in this study to determine the local and average heat transfer coefficient distribution on the target plate. The baseline tests revealed that the heat transfer is more predominate in the upstream jets impingement zones, however, by varying the diameters the heat transfer is more uniformly distributed downstream. The results also revealed that the rib-turbulators, especially X-shaped ribs, can further enhance heat transfer enhancement in the downstream jets where crossflow can affect impingement.

Flow And Heat Transfer

A computational study is reported on flow and heat transfer from single row of circular air jets impinging on a concave surface with either one or two rows of effusion holes and without effusion holes. The effects of arrangement of jet orifices and effusion holes, spent air exit closure configurations, H/D ratio and jet Reynolds number are investigated. The pressure distribution is higher for the configuration with the air exit only through effusion holes. At higher Reynolds number, three peaks in local Nusselt number are identified and explained. Among the cases tested, the configuration with single row of inline effusion holes shows the least heat transfer and there is a significant local enhancement in heat transfer along the stagnation line for single row of staggered effusion holes. However, the effect of arrangement is negligible for two rows of effusion holes. Among the configuration tested the case of one edge open exit configuration with single row of staggered effusion holes (Case-C1s) shows higher heat transfer among others.

The effect of rotation on leading edge jet impingement is experimentally investigated in this study. Cooling air travels radially outward through a square supply channel, turns 90° into a cross-over hole, and impinges on a semi-circular surface. To eliminate the effect of jet cross-flow, regionally averaged heat transfer coefficients are measured on the surface surrounding a single jet. The heat transfer performance of a round jet is compared to that afforded by a 2:1 racetrack shaped jet. Two jet Reynolds numbers were investigated, Rejet = 15,000 and Rejet = 25,000. This, in addition to a varying rotational speed, allows for the consideration of rotation numbers varying from 0.0–0.076 (based on the jet velocity and jet hydraulic diameter). The results obtained are benchmarked against stationary results to highlight enhancement due to rotation. It is shown that as the rotation number increases, the heat transfer is enhanced on all regions of the semi-circular target surface. For rotation numbers of less than 0.030, enhancement due to rotation is marginal. Once rotation numbers breach this value, heat transfer begins to increase significantly on all surfaces. Additionally, it was shown that a racetrack shaped jet consistently out performs a round jet at an equivalent rotation number. The racetrack jet offers better and more consistent coverage of the leading edge surface, yielding higher average heat transfer enhancement.
