Impinging jets may be used to achieve enhanced local heat transfer for convective heating, cooling, or drying. The issuing jet may contact the surface normally or obliquely. Factors such as jet attachment, surface angle, jet angle, separation distance between jet orifice and surface of impingement, and trajectory influence heat transfer dramatically. This study addresses the thermal problem of jet impingement on an inclined surface. This investigation is motivated by the practical application of air jets issuing out of a defroster’s nozzles and impinging on the inclined windshield surface of a vehicle. Effect of incoming fluid velocity, angle that the inclined surface makes with the horizontal plane and angle of impinging jet on heat transfer will be examined. The results are correlated in terms of governing dimensionless parameters. The end-result will be a numerically-based correlation that is capable of predicting heat transfer on an inclined surface subject to impinging airflow.

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.

Detailed heat transfer distributions are numerically investigated on a multiple jet impingement target surface with staggered arrays of spherical dimples where coolant can be extracted through film holes for external film cooling. The three dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes analysis with SST k-ω turbulence model is conducted at jet Reynolds number from 15,000 to 35,000. The separation distance between the jet plate and the target surface varies from 3 to 5 jet diameters and two jet-induced crossflow schemes are included to be referred as large and small crossflow at one and two opposite exit openings correspondingly. Flow and heat transfer results for the dimpled target plate with three suction ratios of 2.5%, 5.0% and 12.0% are compared with those on dimpled surfaces without film holes. The results indicate the presence of film holes could alter the local heat transfer distributions, especially near the channel outlets where the crossflow level is the highest. The heat transfer enhancements by applying film holes to the dimpled surfaces is improved to different degrees at various suction ratios, and the enhancements depend on the coupling effect of impingement and channel flow, which is relevant to jet Reynolds number, jet-to-plate spacing and crossflow scheme.

An analytical model is developed to determine the effect of the temperature of entrained fluid (entrainment temperature) on the local heat transfer to a single, plane, turbulent impinging jet. Solutions of the momentum and energy equations for a single impinging jet are accomplished using similarity and series analyses. Solutions of the energy equation are obtained for the two limiting cases of entrainment temperatures equal to the plate temperature and the initial jet temperature. The analytical solutions are superposed to obtain the solution for all intermediate entrainment temperatures. The constants in the turbulence model are determined by comparing the analytical solutions to experimentally determined local heat transfer rates for single impinging jets issuing into an environment with a controlled entrainment temperature. When the single jet model is applied to jet arrays it predicts that the entrainment in the recirculation region between the jets can significantly affect the heat transfer. Comparison of the model to heat transfer measurements performed for jet arrays shows that the model successfully predicts the local heat transfer in jet arrays.

Amid all convective heat transfer augmentation methods employing single phase, jet impingement heat transfer delivers significantly higher coefficient of local heat transfer. The arrangement leading to nine jets in square array has been used to cool a plate maintained at constant heat flux. Numerical study has been carried out using RANS-based turbulence modeling in commercial CFD Fluent software. The turbulent models used for the study are three different “k-ε” models (STD, RNG, and realizable) and SST “k-ω” model. The numerical simulation output is equated with the experimental results to find out the most accurate turbulence model. The impact of variation of Reynolds number, inter-jet spacing, and separation distance has been considered for the geometry considered. These parameters affect the coefficient of heat transfer, temperature, and turbulent kinetic energy related to flow. The local “h” values have been noticed to decline with the rise in separation distance “H/D.” The SST “k-ω” model has been noticed to be in maximum agreement with the experimental results. The average value of heat transfer coefficient “h” reduces from 210 to 193 W/m2K with increase in “H/D” from 6 to 10 at “Re” = 9000 and S/D of 3. As per numerical results, inter-jet spacing “S/D” of 3 has been determined to be the most optimum value.

An extensive study was conducted to determine the heat transfer characteristics of arrays of turbulent air jets impinging on perforated target surfaces. Spent air was withdrawn through vent holes on the surface, rather than along one or more of its edges, as had been done in all previous investigations. An earlier publication presented average heat transfer data for such systems; this paper gives results of comprehensive measurements of local heat transfer. Also given are the results of flow visualization studies, and an approximate mathematical model which predicts distributions of local heat transfer which agree satisfactorily with test data.

A numerical study is presented for an axisymmetric laminar jet impingement on a confined disk, with the spent fluid being collected through an annual channel that is concentric with the nozzle. In this study, parametric variations were made of the dimensionless separation distance between the nozzle exit and the impingement surface, of the ratio of the diameter of the impingement surface to the nozzle diameter, and of the Reynolds number. The flow field is characterized by two recirculation zones, one adjacent to the nozzle exit and the other near the confining wall. The local heat transfer distribution on the impingement surface exhibits an off-axis maximum and a local minimum near the confining wall. The nozzle separation distance has an effect on surface heat transfer only for configurations with closet confinement. The thermal boundary condition on the impingement surface is found to have little effect on the total heat transfer.

The research described here is concerned with natural convection from isothermal cylinders, with a particular focus on the interaction between a pair of vertically aligned cylinders. Prime attention was focused on how the local heat transfer characteristics of the upper cylinder are affected due to buoyancy induced fluid flow from the lower cylinder. Tests were performed using internally heated copper cylinders with an outside diameter 30mm and a vertical separation distance between the cylinders ranging from two to three cylinder diameters. Plume interaction between the heated cylinders was investigated within a Rayleigh number range of 2×106 to 6×106. Spectral analysis of the associated heat transfer interaction is presented showing that interaction between the cylinders causes oscillation of the thermal plume. The effect of this oscillation is considered as a possible enhancement mechanism of the heat transfer performance of the upper cylinder.

Abstract Measurements of the local heat transfer distribution on smooth and roughened surfaces under an array of angled impinging jets are presented. The test rig is designed to simulate impingement with cross-flow in one direction which is a common method for cooling gas turbine components such as the combustion liner. Jet angle is varied between 30, 60, and 90 degrees as measured from the impingement surface, which is either smooth or randomly roughened. Liquid crystal video thermography is used to capture surface temperature data at five different jet Reynolds numbers ranging between 15,000 and 35,000. The effect of jet angle, Reynolds number, gap, and surface roughness on heat transfer efficiency and pressure loss is determined along with the various interactions among these parameters. Peak heat transfer coefficients for the range of Reynolds number from 15,000 to 35,000 are highest for orthogonal jets impinging on roughened surface; peak Nu values for this configuration ranged from 88 to 165 depending on Reynolds number. The ratio of peak to average Nu is lowest for 30-degree jets impinging on roughened surfaces. It is often desirable to minimize this ratio in order to decrease thermal gradients, which could lead to thermal fatigue. High thermal stress can significantly reduce the useful life of engineering components and machinery. Peak heat transfer coefficients decay in the cross-flow direction by close to 24% over a dimensionless length of 20. The decrease of spanwise average Nu in the crossflow direction is lowest for the case of 30-degree jets impinging on a roughened surface where the decrease was less than 3%. The decrease is greatest for 30-degree jet impingement on a smooth surface where the stagnation point Nu decreased by more than 23% for some Reynolds numbers.

This research provides a computational analysis of heat transfer due to micro jet-impingement inside a gas turbine vane. A preliminary-parametric analysis of axisymmetric single jet was reported to better understand micro jet-impingement. In general, it was seen that as the Reynolds number increased the Nusselt number values increased. The jet to target spacing had a considerably lower impact on the heat transfer rates. Around 30% improvement was seen by reducing the diameter to half while changing the shape to an ellipse saw 20.8% improvement in Nusselt value. The numerical investigation was then followed by studying the heat transfer characteristics in a three-dimensional, actual-shaped turbine vane. Effects of jet inclination showed enhanced mixing and secondary heat transfer peaks. The effect of reducing the diameter of the jets to 0.125 mm yielded 55% heat transfer improvements compared to 0.51 mm; the tapering effect also enhanced the local heat transfer values as local velocities at jet exit increased.
