A series of experimental investigations with a stringent measurement method on the transient-/steady-state heat transfer behavior for confined smooth surfaces with slot jet impingement have been successfully conducted. From the results, a generalized correlation is proposed to represent the distributions of normalized transient convective heat flux. The highest heat transfer during the transient period occurs at the surface center of confined heated smooth or extended surface. The transient local Nusselt number decreases along the distance from the surface center toward the surface edge. The transient-/steady-state local and average Nusselt numbers are almost independent of Grs, and they are more significantly affected by ReD as compared with H/W. They will increase with increasing ReD. Maximum local and average Nusselt numbers can be found between H/W = 3 and H/W = 5. The effects of Grs and H/W on the dimensionless local Nusselt number distribution are insignificant; and the distribution can be expressed as a generalized bell-shaped profile, which is only dependent of ReD. Finally, a new composite correlation of steady-state average Nusselt number for mixed convection from confined smooth due to slot jet impingement and buoyancy are presented.

A series of experimental investigations with a stringent measurement method on the natural heat transfer from an unconfined or confined smooth and extended surface have been successfully conducted. From the results, the maximum transient-/steady-state local Nusselt number exists in the region near the edge of the heated smooth or extended surface, and the transient-/ steady-state local Nusselt number decreases along the distance from the surface edge toward the surface center. The transient-/steady-state local and average Nusselt number increases with increasing Grs, H/W or Hes/W. The effects of Grs, H/W and Hes/W on the Nus/Nus,o distribution are not significant; and the Nus/Nus,o distribution can be expressed as a generalized bowl-shaped profile, which is independent of Grs, H/W and Hes/W. By the statistical sensitivity analysis of ANOVA F-test, the steady-state average Nusselt number for unconfined/confined smooth or extended surface is significantly affected by either one of Grs, H/W and Hes/W. Among them, Grs has the most significant effect. Four new correlations of steady-state average Nusselt number in terms of relevant influencing parameters for unconfined/ confined smooth or extended surfaces are proposed, respectively. Furthermore, two normalized steady-state average Nusselt numbers for confined smooth or extended surfaces are proposed, respectively. As compared with the steady-state average Nusselt numbers for unconfined/confined smooth surface, the steady-state heat transfer enhancement for unconfined/confined extended surface can be achieved between 93.99% and 254.65%.

A series of experimental investigations with a stringent measurement method on the study of the fluid flow and heat transfer for confined compact heat sinks in forced convection have been successfully conducted. From the results, the thermal capacity of the heat sink and the convective heat dissipation play the major roles for dominating the transient thermal behavior in the beginning of power-on transient period; while, the convective heat dissipation finally becomes the solely dominating term at the end of power-on transient period. The transient/steady-state local and average Nusselt numbers increase with increasing Grs, H/Hc ratio or Re. As compared with the steady-state average Nusselt number for non-compact heat sink (Fin-Al/ Base-Al), the steady-state heat transfer enhancement for compact heat sinks (Fin-Al/Base-Al) is 185.74%. Furthermore, a new correlation of steady-state average Nusselt number in terms of relevant influencing parameters for confined compact PPF heat sinks in forced convection is proposed. As compared with two existing correlations of steady-state average Nusselt numbers for unconfined and confined non-compact PPF heat sinks, the heat transfer enhancements for the present confined compact PPF heat sinks of H/Hc = 0.47 are 423.29% and 219.93%, respectively.

Purpose Convective heat transfer features of a turbulent slot jet impingement are comprehensively studied using two different computational approaches, namely, URANS (unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations) and SAS (scale-adaptive simulation). Turbulent slot jet impingement heat transfer is used where a considerable heat transfer enhancement is required, and computationally, it is a quite challenging flow configuration. Design/methodology/approach Customized OpenFOAM 4.1, an open-access computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, is used for SAS (SST-SAS k-ω) and URANS (standard k-ε and SST k-ω) computations. A low-Re version of the standard k-ε model is used, and other models are formulated for good wall-refined calculations. Three turbulence models are formulated in OpenFOAM 4.1 with second-order accurate discretization schemes. Findings It is observed that the profiles of the streamwise turbulence are under-predicted at all the streamwise locations by SST k-ω and SST SAS k-ω models, but follow similar trends as in the reported results. The standard k-ε model shows improvements in the predictions of the streamwise turbulence and mean streamwise velocity profiles in the zone of outer wall jet. Computed profiles of Nusselt number by SST k-ω and SST-SAS k-ω models are nearly identical and match well with the reported experimental results. However, the standard k-ε model does not provide a reasonable profile or quantification of the local Nusselt number. Originality/value Hybrid turbulence model is suitable for efficient CFD computations for the complex flow problems. This paper deals with a detailed comparison of the SAS model with URANS and LES for the first time in the literature. A thorough assessment of the computations is performed against the results reported using experimental and large eddy simulations techniques followed by a detailed discussion on flow physics. The present results are beneficial for scientists working with hybrid turbulence models and in industries working with high-efficiency cooling/heating system computations.

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.

Abstract Transient heat transfer behavior from a horizontally confined ceramic-based MCM disk with jet impingement has been systematically explored. The relevant parameters influencing heat transfer performance are the steady-state Grashof number, jet Reynolds number, and ratio of jet separation distance to nozzle diameter. In addition, an effective time, ton, representing a certain transient time when the mixed convection effect due to jet impingement and buoyancy becomes significant relative to heat conduction, is introduced. Both the transient chip and average Nusselt numbers on the MCM disk surface decrease with time in a very beginning period of 0 ≤ t < ton, whereas it gradually increases or keeps constant with time and finally approaches the steady-state value in the period of ton ≤ t < ts. 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 ≥ 4 min in the power-on transient period.

An experimental study has been carried out to investigate heat transfer characteristics on internal surfaces of a V-shaped plate exposed to a slot jet impingement of air. A square-edged nozzle is mounted parallel with V-shaped plate axis and jet flow impinges on the bottom of the V-shaped plate. The study is focused on Rayleigh number 159000, angle of V-shaped plate ranging from 22.5 to 45 degree, low Reynolds numbers ranging from 29.05 to 60.41, and slot-to-(V-shaped plate) spacing from 17 to 21 of the slot width. A Mach-Zehnder interferometer is used for measurement of local Nusselt number on the V-shaped plate. It is observed that the local Nusselt number and average Nusselt number decrease with increasing the jet spacing and increase with increasing the Reynolds number. Also the local Nusselt number and average nusselt number increase with rising the angle of V-shaped plate.

Abstract The experimental study for air slot jet impingement cooling from the heated cylinder is carried out. The heated cylinder is placed on a flat plate. The flat plate has an effective dimension as plate length (P) from heat transfer point of view. The heating of the cylindrical surface is done by providing a constant heat flux. The various parameters which affect the heat transfer from the cylinder are ReD, h/S, S/D, and P/D. The range of the parameters considered are ReD = 10,000–25,000, h/S = 4–12, S/D = 0.072–0.108, and P/D = 0–2. The effect of various parameters on heat transfer distribution (stagnation and local Nusselt number) from the cylinder is investigated. The local Nusselt number has a maximum value at θ = 0 deg and then it decreases upto θ = 180 deg. This trend is observed for all the parametric variations. The stagnation Nusselt number (Nustag) and local Nusselt number increases with the change of parameters as increase in ReD and S/D and decrease in h/S. However, Nustag remains independent with the change in P/D. The correlation for stagnation and mean Nusselt number is developed using regression analysis as a function of ReD, h/S, S/D, and P/D. The maximum error associated with the correlated value of Nustag and Num as compared with the experimental data is observed as ±13% and ±25%.

Impinging heat transferred by a pulsed jet induced by a six-chevron nozzle on a semicylindrical concave surface is investigated by varying jet Reynolds numbers (5000 ≤ Re ≤ 20,000), operational frequencies (0 Hz ≤ f ≤ 25 Hz), and dimensionless nozzle-to-surface distances (1 ≤ H/d ≤ 8) while fixing the duty cycle as DC = 0.5. The semicylindrical concave surface has a cylinder diameter-to-nozzle diameter ratio (D/d) of 10. The results show that the nozzle-to-surface distance has a significant impact on the impingement heat transfer of the pulsed chevron jet. An optimal nozzle-to-surface distance for achieving the maximum stagnation Nusselt number appears at H/d  =  6. In the wall jet zone, the averaged Nusselt number is the largest at H/d = 2 and the smallest at H/d = 8. In comparison with the chevron steady jet impingement, the effect of nozzle-to-surface distance on the convective heat transfer becomes less notable for the pulsed chevron jet impingement. The stagnation Nusselt number under the pulsed chevron jet impingement is mostly less than that under the chevron steady jet impingement. However, at H/d = 8, the pulsed chevron jet is more effective than the steady jet. This study confirmed that the pulsed chevron jet produced higher azimuthally averaged Nusselt numbers than the steady chevron jet in the wall jet flow zone at large nozzle-to-surface distances. The stagnation Nusselt numbers by the pulsed chevron jet impingement have a maximum reduction of 21.0% (f = 20 Hz, H/d = 4, and Re = 2000) compared with that of the steady chevron jet impingement. Also, the pulsed chevron jet impingement heat transfer on a concave surface is less effective compared to a flat surface. The stagnation Nusselt numbers on the semicylindrical concave surface have a maximum reduction of about 37.7% (f = 20 Hz, H/d = 8, and Re = 5000) compared with that on the flat surface.

A series of experimental investigations on the studies related to transient- and steady-state cooling performance from the horizontally heated heat sinks with a confined slot jet impingement have been conducted. The relevant parameters influencing the transient convective cooling performance include the steady-state Grashof number, ratio of jet separation distance to nozzle width, ratio of heat sink height to nozzle width, and jet Reynolds number. The transient heat transfer behaviors such as the temperature distribution, local and average Nusselt numbers on the heated heat sinks have been systematically explored. Two empirical correlations of steady-state local and average Nusselt numbers are presented. Furthermore, a complete composite correlation of steady-state average Nusselt number for mixed convection due to jet impingement and buoyancy is proposed. This empirical correlation obtained by data regression is in good agreement with the experimental data. The maximum and average regression errors are 7.46% and 2.87%, respectively.
