The paper investigates experimentally the heat transfer characteristic for internal flow inside a semicircular channel due to confined slot-jet impingement. The effect of varying the channel diameters to slot-jet width is evaluated. The average and local Nusselt numbers is calculated by reporting the heater thermal map obtained via an infrared camera, the inlet/ outlet flow temperature are measured via thermocouples, the flow rates are reported via rotameter and the pressure drop is measured across the inlet and outlet flow via pressure transducers. The single enclosed jet flow is used to create a double cyclones inside the semicircular channel to promote heat transfer at different jet Reynolds numbers (ReJet = 100 to 1,000). A semicircular cavity with variable diameter are used to evaluate the effect of channel size on the cyclone flow which directly affect the heat transfer. It is found that the cavity size has two opposite effects on the heat transfer. In one side, as cavity size decreases, the distance between the jet and the curved surface decreases and hence heat transfer improves. On the other hand, as the cavity size increases the swirl size inside the cavity increases and hence heat transfer improves.

The paper investigates experimentally and numerically the heat transfer augmentation from a semicircular heated surface due to confined slot-jet impingement. For different Reynolds numbers, the average and local Nusselt numbers are calculated by reporting the heater thermal image obtained by an infrared camera, the inlet and outlet flow temperature via thermocouples, the flow rate via rotameter, and the pressure drop across the inlet and outlet flow via pressure transducers. The single enclosed jet flow is used to create a single cyclone inside the internal semicircular channel to promote the heat transfer at different jet Reynolds numbers (Rejet = 1000–5000). Three turbulence models, namely, the standard k – ɛ, k – ω and the Reynolds stress model (RSM) have been investigated in the present paper by comparing Nusselt number and normalized pressure drop distribution against the experimental data, helping ascertain on the relative merits of the adopted models. The computational fluid dynamics results show that the RSM turbulent model reasonably forecast the experimental data.

Inverse calculations are presented here for the estimation of heat transfer from an impinging flame on a flat surface. This work is a preliminary exercise for estimating heat transfer from an impinging plasma jet, where direct measurements can be very difficult and costly, and the correlations based on air or water jet impingement measurements may not be applicable because of the very high temperature (and property) gradients. As the gas flame impinges on an initially cold flat plate, the temperature evolution on the backside is recorded using an infrared camera. The time–temperature data thus obtained are then compared with those predicted by a finite volume method based code. The code uses a polynomial series for estimating the convection coefficient, which varies with radial distance. The coefficients of this polynomial are treated as a set of parameters to be estimated through the Levenberg-Marquardt approach. The results obtained so far indicate that it may be possible to use such an approach for estimating heat transfer from a plasma jet.

A confined jet impingement configuration has been investigated in which the matter of interest is the convective heat transfer from the airflow to the passage walls. The geometry is similar to gas turbine applications. The setup is distinct from usual cooling passages by the fact that no crossflow and no bulk flow direction are present. The flow exhausts through two staggered rows of holes opposing the impingement wall. Hence, a complex 3-D vortex system arises, which entails a complex heat transfer situation. The transient Thermochromic Liquid Crystal (TLC) method was used to measure the heat transfer on the passage walls. Due to the nature of the experiment, the fluid as well as the wall temperature vary with location and time. As a prerequisite of the transient TLC technique, the heat transfer coefficient is assumed to be constant over the transient experiment. Therefore, additional measures were taken to qualify this assumption. The linear relation between heat flux and temperature difference could be verified for all measurement sites. This validates the assumption of a constant heat transfer coefficient which was made for the transient TLC experiments. Nusselt number evaluations from all techniques show a good agreement, considering the respective uncertainty ranges. For all sites the Nusselt numbers range within ±9% of the values gained from the TLC measurement.

A series of experimental investigations with stringent measurement methods on the studies related to mixed convection from the horizontally confined extended surfaces with a slot jet impingement have been successfully conducted. The relevant parameters influencing mixed convection performance due to jet impingement and buoyancy include the Grashof number, ratio of jet separation distance to nozzle width, ratio of extended surfaces height to nozzle width and jet Reynolds number. The range of these parameters studied are Grs = 3.77 × 105 – 1.84 × 106, H/W = 1–10, Hs/W = 0.74–3.40 and Re = 63–1383. In the study, the heat transfer behavior on the extended surfaces with confined slot jet impingement such as the temperature distribution, local and average Nusselt numbers on the extended surfaces has been systematically explored. The results manifest that the effect of steady-state Grashof number on heat transfer behavior such as stagnation, local and average Nusselt number is not significant; while the heat transfer performance increases with decreasing jet separation distance or with increasing extended surface height and jet Reynolds number. Besides, two new correlations of local and average Nusselt numbers in terms of H/W, Hs/W and Re are proposed for the cases of extended surfaces. A satisfactory agreement is achieved between the results predicted by these correlations and the experimental data. Finally, a complete composite correlation of steady-state average Nusselt number for mixed convection due to jet impingement and buoyancy is proposed. The comparison of the predictions evaluated by this correlation with all the present experimental data is made. The maximum and average deviations of the predictions from the experimental data are 7.46% and 2.87%, respectively.

Cooling Air

The effect of rotation on jet impingement cooling is experimentally investigated in this study. Pressurized cooling air is supplied to a smooth, square channel in the radial outward direction. To model leading edge impingement in a gas turbine, jets are formed from a single row of discrete holes. The cooling air from the first pass is expelled through the holes, with the jets impinging on a semi-circular, concave surface. The inlet Reynolds number varied from 10000–40000 in the square supply channel. The rotation number and buoyancy parameter varied from 0–1.4 and 0–6.6 near the inlet of the channel, and as coolant is extracted for jet impingement, the rotation and buoyancy numbers can exceed 10 and 500 near the end of the passage. The average jet Reynolds number varied from 6000–24000, and the jet rotation number varied from 0–0.13. For all test cases, the jet-to-jet spacing (s/djet = 4), the jet-to-target surface spacing (l/djet = 3.2), and the impingement surface diameter-to-diameter (D/djet = 6.4) were held constant. A steady state technique was implemented to determine regionally averaged Nusselt numbers on the leading and trailing surfaces inside the supply channel and three spanwise locations on the concave target surface. It was observed that in all rotating test cases, the Nusselt numbers deviated from those measured in a non-rotating channel. The degree of separation between the leading and trailing surface increased with increasing rotation number. Near the inlet of the channel, heat transfer was dominated by entrance effects, however moving downstream, the local rotation number increased and the effect of rotation was more pronounced. The effect of rotation on the target surface was most clearly seen in the absence of crossflow. With pure jet impingement, the deflection of the impinging jet combined with the rotation induced secondary flows offered increased mixing within the impingement cavity and enhanced heat transfer. In the presence of strong crossflow of the spent air, the same level of heat transfer is measured in both the stationary and rotating channels.

In order to investigate the heat transfer of confined impinging jet with tiny size round nozzle, a bakelite laminate was used as the heat transfer surface of simulated chip. The thermocouples were mounted symmetrically along the diagonal of the laminate to measure the temperature distribution of the surface. The parameters such as Reynolds number (Re) and ratio of height-to-diameter were changed to investigate the radial distribution of Nu and the characteristics of heat transfer in stagnant section. The results show that hear transfer coefficient at stagnation point is maximal. It is decreased with the increases of the radial jet distance, but increased with Re and impinging height. Moreover, the effect of single-nozzle type is stronger than that of multi-nozzle type in the cases of same air flow. These studies will give a way for the application of air jet impingement in the electronics chip cooling.

Abstract Numerical simulation results of flow and heat transfer resulting from a confined, submerged liquid jet impinging on a planar oscillating surface are presented here. Laminar jets are employed in places where space and pumping capacity constraints exist (for example, in electronics cooling). However, in a laminar single jet, the cooled region due to the jet is small and is concentrated in the stagnation zone. One way to potentially enhance the heat transfer in a laminar jet impingement arrangement is by oscillating the heated impingement surface. This work extends the previous fluid dynamics analysis (by the same author) by a description and quantification heat transfer in such an arrangement. The problem is studied with respect to two parameters governing jet impingement :Jet Reynolds Number, distance from the jet inlet to the impinging wall (z/d ratios) and a parameter characterizing oscillation : the oscillatory peak Reynolds Number. OpenFOAM (foam-extend 3.2), an open-source CFD code based on the finite volume method is used to solve the problem. Quantification of discretization uncertainty is done by employing the Grid Convergence Index Method (GCI). The transport of the vortex structures formed due to the confined arrangement of the jets and due to the oscillation of the target wall has a strong influence on the temperature distribution on the target surface. The enhancement in heat transfer is estimated as a ratio of the Nusselt Numbers cases with oscillation to corresponding cases without oscillation. It is shown that the heat transfer enhancement is a strong function of the jet and the oscillatory parameters considered.

A series of experimental investigations with stringent measurement methods on the studies related to fluid flow and transient mixed convection from a horizontally unconfined stationary or rotating ceramic-based MCM disk with unconfined jet impingement have been successfully conducted. The relevant parameters influencing fluid flow and heat transfer performance are (1) mixed convection due to jet impingement and buoyancy: steady-state Grashof number, jet Reynolds number, and ratio of jet separation distance to nozzle diameter; and (2) mixed convection due to jet impingement, disk rotation and buoyancy: steady-state Grashof number, jet Reynolds number (Rej), rotational Reynolds number (Rer), ratio of jet separation distance to nozzle diameter (H/d). The thermal behavior explored includes the transient temperature distribution on the MCM disk surface, transient heat flux distribution of input power, transient convective heat flux distribution of chips, and transient chip and average heat transfer characteristics on the MCM disk surface. Besides, two new correlations of transient stagnation and average Nusselt numbers in terms of Rej, H/d and t are presented for the cases of stationary MCM disk. For the cases of rotating MCM disk, a new empirical correlation to classify two regimes of heat transfer modes such as disk rotation mode and jet impingement mode is presented; and a complete composite correlation of steady-state average Nusselt number for mixed convection due to jet impingement, disk rotation and buoyancy is proposed. As compared with the steady-state results, if the transient chip and average heat transfer behaviors may be considered as a superposition of a series of quasi-steady states, the transient chip and average Nusselt numbers in all the present transient experiments can be properly predicted by the existing steady-state correlations when t > 6 min in the power-on transient period.
