In present study, an experimental investigation has been carried out to analyze the heat transfer characteristics of CuO-water nanofluids jets on a hot surface. A rectangular stainless steel foil (AISI-304, 0.15 mm thick) is used as a test surface is electrically heated to obtain the required initial temperature. The distribution of heat flux on the target surface is evaluated from the recorded thermal images during transient cooling. The effect of nanoparticle concentration and Reynolds number of the nanofluids jet impingement heat transfer characteristics is studied. Tests were performed for an initial surface temperature of 500°C, Reynolds number (5000≤Re≤13000), CuO-water nanofluids concentration (Φ= 0.15%, 0.6%) and nozzle to plate distance was l/d= 4.

In the present study, an experimental investigation has been carried out to analyze the heat transfer characteristics of CuO–water nanofluids jet on a hot surface. A rectangular stainless steel foil (AISI-304, 0.15 mm thick) used as the test surface is electrically heated to obtain the required initial temperature (500 °C). The distribution of surface heat flux on the target surface is evaluated from the recorded thermal images during transient cooling. The effect of nanoparticle concentration and Reynolds number of the nanofluids on the heat transfer characteristics is studied. Tests are performed for varied range of Reynolds number (5000 ≤ Re ≤ 12,000), two different CuO–water nanofluids concentration (Ф = 0.15%, 0.6%) and two different nozzle to plate distance (l/d = 6, 12). The enhancement in Nusselt number for CuO–water nanofluids was found to be 14% and 90%, for nanofluids concentration of Ф = 0.15% and Ф = 0.60%, respectively, compared to pure water. The test surface characteristics after nanofluids jet impingement are studied using scanning electron microscope (SEM). Based on the investigation, a correlation among various parameters, namely, Reynolds number (Re), Prandtl number (Pr), nozzle to plate distance (l/d), and Nusselt number (Nu), is presented.

A mathematical model used for studying jet impingement cooling characteristics is established, and the rationality of the calculation model and method is confirmed by the experimental data. The CFX software is used to numerically simulate the jet impingement cooling characteristics on a gas turbine blade. The effects of various parameters, such as the arrays of impinging nozzles, the jet Reynolds number, the jet-to-jet distance, the ratio of nozzle-to-surface spacing to jet diameter H/d, and the radius of curvature of the target surface, on the flow and heat transfer characteristics of a impingement cooling process are studied. The results indicate that the impingement jets can make complex vortex in the cooling channel, the flow boundary layer is extremely thin and highly turbulent. Underneath each impingement nozzle, there will appear a low temperature area and a peak of Nusselt number on the impingement target surface, the distribution of temperature and Nusselt number on the target surface are associated with arrangement of impingement nozzles. The average Nusselt number of the in-line arrangement nozzles is higher than that of the staggered arrangement ones. With the increasing of jet Reynolds number, the velocity impinging on the target surface and Nusselt number increase. However, heat transfer of impingement cooling on target surface is not sensitive to the jet nozzles distance; the velocity impinging on the target surface and Nusselt number decrease with the increasing of the H/d value. For the curved target surface cases, the average Nusselt number of the target surface and the effect of heat transfer decreased with the increasing of curvature radius R.

Experimental studies are carried out to investigate the jet impingement heat transfer characteristics in cross-flow with and without the presence of a 45 deg V-shaped rib. The local heat transfer coefficients are obtained by a liquid crystal thermography (LCT) technique. The ratio of nozzle-to-surface spacing to jet diameter is 3.56, the jet Reynolds number is kept at 17,000, the cross-flow Reynolds number spans from 32,700 to 65,000, the velocity ratio of jet to cross-flow ranges from 1.5 to 3.0. The impingement heat transfer characteristics in cross-flow are changed from the results without the cross-flow, and they are strongly affected by the velocity ratio. The presence of a V-shaped rib significantly modifies the heat transfer patterns of the impinging jet in cross-flow. Compared to the results without ribs, the heat transfer over the ribbed surface is enhanced for a low velocity ratio but retarded for a high velocity ratio, depending on the interaction between the rib induced flow and the impinging jet.

Abstract In this paper, the heat transfer performance of single jet impinging conical surface is investigated based on transient liquid crystal experiments. Because of different target surface structures, impingement heat transfer will have different heat transfer characteristics. In order to better understand the heat transfer mechanism of the impinging conical target surface, this paper studies the three jet Reynolds number (Re) ranged from 25000 to 70000, three the dimensionless nozzle-to-surface distance (H/D) from 0.75 to 6 on heat transfer characteristics. The liquid crystal thermal imaging technology is used in the experiment to obtain the heat transfer efficiency of jet heat transfer on the conical target surface. The research in this paper shows that the larger the jet Reynolds number, the larger the Nusselt number at the stagnation point. It is worth noting that the maximum Nusselt number is not necessarily obtained at the stagnation point. When Re = 70000 and H/D = 0.75, the maximum value of the Nusselt number is 1.24 times the stagnation point. The larger the Reynolds number, the smaller the impingement distance, and the more obvious the secondary maxima. At the same impingement distance, when the Reynolds number is larger, the position of the secondary maxima appears earlier. When Re = 25000, H/D = 3.5, 6 and Re = 45000, H/D = 6, the local Nusselt number monotonously decreases from the maximum value at the stagnation point along the flow, and it appears secondary maxima in other experimental conditions. Within the scope of this study, the overall heat transfer performance is better when the dimensionless distance between the jet hole and the target surface is 3.5.

The analysis of fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics of double turbulent jet flow impinging on a stationary and moving plate has been numerically studied. Unsteady-state two-dimensional incompressible turbulent forced convection flow is considered for present analysis. Turbulence is modelled by the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equation with the k − ε model and enhanced wall treatment. The governing equations are solved using a finite volume based commercial solver. The results for the effect of single jet and double jet, jet Reynolds number, plate velocity, location, and center spacing between the two jets on flow and heat transfer characteristics are reported. The results show that the enhancement of heat transfer is 32.70% for the double jet compared with the single jet impingement on a stationary plate. As significant enhancement of heat transfer is observed with an increase in the second jet Reynolds number and plate velocity. The results show that the size and shape of the recirculation zones between jets are greatly altered with respect to spacing between the jets to the plate and the center distance between the jets. The results show that the enhancement of heat transfer is 37.3% for moving plate velocity due to a decrease in the spacing between the jets and the plate from 6 to 4. Results show that the local peak Nusselt number is influenced by the plate velocity. These results are validated by experimental and numerical results available in the literature.

An effective method of design of experiments combined with Central Composite Design for exploring the heat transfer characteristics for a confined rotating Multi-Chip Module (MCM) disk with round jet array impingement has been successfully developed. The relevant parameters influencing heat transfer performance include the steady-state Grashof number (Grs), ratio of jet separation distance to nozzle diameter (H/d), jet Reynolds number (Rej) and rotational Reynolds number (Rer). Their effects on heat transfer characteristics have been systematically explored. An axisymmetrical temperature distribution is ensured for various Grs, Rej, Rer and H/d ratios. As compared with the mutual effects of jet array impingement and disk rotation cause a more non-uniform distribution of chip temperatures. For heat transfer behavior, a new correlation of stagnation Nusselt number for jet array impingement at r/R = 0 in terms of Rej and H/d is presented. As compared with the experimental steady-state data of single round jet impingement, the average heat transfer enhancement at stagnation point r/R = 0 of jet array impingement is 607%. For the rotating MCM disk cases, the highest chip heat transfer occurs at the MCM disk rim, and decreases sharply along the distance from the surface edge toward the surface center.
