Impinging jet heat transfer on a target plate was enhanced by using two parallel confining plates mounted between a rectangular nozzle end plate and a jet target plate. The target plate was set equal to 2, 3, 4, and 5 times the jet exit width, h, and the gap ratio of two parallel confining plates, W/h, were changed from 2.7 to 8.0 only by impinging length H=5h and from 2.7 to 6.7 by H≠5h. Two confining parallel plates mounted near the jet exit produced swing-type flow under some conditions. As a result, the maximum Nusselt number attained around the stagnation point was augmented by about 50% compared to the one for normal impinging jet without the two parallel plates and then spatial mean Nusselt number was increased by about 40%.

A large number of experimental and theoretical studies investigating heat transfer of impinging jet and jet arrays exist in the literature. However, there are only a few experimental and numerical studies that consider the heat transfer performance of the impinging jet and jet array over complex impinging surface topologies. In spite of these studies, several other factors concerning the dimpled target plate configuration such as dimple height, diameter, pitch spacing between dimples, and their effects on the heat transfer coefficient have not yet been well apprehended. The purpose of the present study is to address some of these aspects through a detailed computational investigation of 3D impinging jet interaction on dimpled target plates. The initial section of the study is focused on the evaluation of different turbulence models in capturing the complex flow features associated with dimpled topology. These models are validated for Nusselt number against previous experimental data in literature. This is followed by a parametric study in which geometric parameters of the dimpled target plate such as dimple diameter, pitch spacing between dimples and dimple height are varied to understand their role on heat transfer enhancement. The final section of the study deals with the optimization of the above geometric parameters based on three factorial design of parametric space. Results from these designed simulations are used to construct a surrogate model based on response surface analysis and the optimized configuration is determined. The objective functions for optimization include maximizing the average Nusselt number, Nuavg, and minimizing the deviation of maximum Nusselt number, Numax-sd. With respect to the reference configuration there is 12% and 8.58 % increase in the average Nusselt number values for the optimized case corresponding to Reynolds number of 3000 and 8200 respectively. Enhancement in terms of Nusselt number is observed with the dimpled target plate over corresponding non dimpled target plates.

New Correlation

This study comprehensively illustrates the effect of Reynolds number, hole spacing, jet-to-target distance and hole inclination on the convective heat transfer performance of an impinging jet array. Highly resolved heat transfer coefficient distributions on the target plate are obtained utilizing transient liquid crystal over a range of Reynolds numbers varying between 5,000 and 25,000. Effect of streamwise and spanwise jet-to-jet spacing (X/D, Y/D: 4–8) and jet-to-target plate distance (Z/D: 0.75–3) are employed composing a test matrix of 36 different geometries. Additionally, the effect of hole inclination (θ: 0°–40°) on the heat transfer coefficient is investigated. Optical hole spacing arrangements and impingement distance are pointed out to maximize the area-averaged Nusselt number and minimize the amount of cooling air. Also included is a new correlation, based on that of Florschuetz et al., to predict row-averaged Nusselt number. The new correlation is capable to cover low Z/D∼0.75 and presents better prediction of row-averaged Nusselt number, which proves to be an effective impingement design tool.

Domed skylights are important architectural design elements to deliver daylight and solar heat into buildings and connect buildings' occupants to outdoors. To increase the energy efficiency of skylighted buildings, domed skylights employ a number of glazing layers forming enclosed spaces. The latter are subject to complex buoyancy-induced convection heat transfer. Currently, existing fenestration design computer tools and building energy simulation programs do not, however, cover such skylights to quantify their energy performance when installed in buildings. his work presents a numerical study on natural laminar convection within concentric and vertically eccentric domed cavities. The edges of domed cavities are assumed adiabatic and the temperature of the interior and exterior surfaces are uniform and constant. The concentric and vertically eccentric domed cavities were studied when heated from inside and heated from outside, respectively. A commercial CFD package employing the control volume approach is used to solve the laminar convective heat transfer within the cavity. The obtained results showed steady flow for small Grashof numbers. For moderate and large Grashof numbers, depending on the gap ratio and the cases of heating from inside or outside, the flow may be steady or transient periodic with a single vortex-cell or multi vortex-cells. The Nusselt number for the case of heated from inside is greater than the case of heated from outside. The numerical results show that the changes in the gap ratio have smaller effect on Nusselt number in high profile domed skylights than lower profile domed skylights.

Abstract Heat transfer over rotating surfaces is of particular interest in rotating machinery such as gas turbine engines. The rotation of the gas turbine disc creates a radially outward flow on the disc surface, which may lead to ingress of hot gases into the narrow cavity between the disc and the stator. Impingement of cooling jet is an effective way of cooling the disc and countering the ingress of the hot gases. Present study focusses on investigating the effect of introducing pin-fins over the rotating disc on the heat transfer. The jet Reynolds number has been varied from 5000 to 18000, and the rotating Reynolds number has been varied from 5487 to 12803 for an aluminum disc of thickness 6.35mm and diameter 10.16 cm, over which square pins have been arranged in an inline fashion. Steady state temperature measurements have been taken using thermocouples embedded in the disc close to the target surface, and area average Nusselt number has been calculated. The effects of varying the height of the pin-fins, distance between nozzle and the disc surface and the inclination of the impinging jet with the axis of rotation have also been studied. The results have been compared with those for a smooth aluminum disc of equal dimensions and without any pin-fins. The average Nusselt number is significantly enhanced by the presence of pin fins. In the impingement dominant regime, where the effect of disc rotation is minimal for a smooth disc, the heat transfer increases with rotational speed in case of pin fins. The effect of inclination angle of the impinging jet is insignificant in the range explored in this paper (0° to 20°).

The characteristics of heat transfer from a hot wall surface for the oblique impingement of a free turbulent slot jet have been investigated numerically. Different turbulent models — the [Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text], SST [Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text], cubic [Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text] and quadratic [Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text] models — are used for the prediction of heat transfer and their results were compared with experimental results reported in the literature. The comparison shows that the [Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text], quadratic [Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text] and SST [Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text] models give more unsatisfactory results for the investigated configuration, while the cubic [Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text] model is capable of predicting the local Nusselt number in wall-jet region only. The [Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text] model exhibits the best agreement with the experimental results in both stagnation and wall-jet regions. Further, the [Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text] model is applied to analyze the obliquely impinging jet heat transfer problem. The parametric effects of the jet inclination ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]), jet-to-surface distance ([Formula: see text], 6 and 8), Reynolds number ([Formula: see text], 15[Formula: see text]000 and 20[Formula: see text]000), and turbulent intensity ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]) have been presented. The heat transfer on the upward direction is seen to decrease, while that on the downward direction it rises for the increasing angle. It is to be noted that as the value of [Formula: see text] decreases, the point of maximum Nusselt number ([Formula: see text]) displaces toward the upward direction from the geometric center point as well as its value reduces. The shifting of the [Formula: see text] is found to be independent of Re and [Formula: see text] within the range considered for the study.

Considering the complicated geometry in an active clearance control (ACC) system, the design of an improved cooling feed pipe with a covering plate for a high pressure ribbed turbine case was investigated. Numerical calculations were analyzed to obtain the interactions between the impinging jet arrays fed by the pipe. Experimental tests were performed to explore the effect of the Reynolds number (2000–20,000) and the jet-to-surface spacing ratio (6–10) on the streamwise-averaged Nusselt numbers. Additionally, the effect of the crossflow produced by the configuration was investigated. Results showed a confined curved channel was formed by the pipe and ribbed case, which resulted in crossflow. The crossflow evolved into vortices and the streamwise-averaged Nusselt number on the high ribs was subsequently increased. Furthermore, the distribution of the heat transfer on the entire surface became more uniform compared with that of traditional impinging jet arrays. A higher Nusselt number was achieved by decreasing the jet-to-surface spacing and increasing the Reynolds number. This investigation has revealed a cooling configuration for controlling the wall flow and evening the heat transfer on the case surface, especially for the ribs.

Abstract This study deals with the heat transfer characteristics of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of a third-grade fluid through parallel plates, subjected to a uniform wall heat flux, but of different magnitudes. The effect of viscous dissipation has been included for both heating and cooling of the fluid. The least square method (LSM) has been adopted for solving the nonlinear equations. The expressions for the velocity and temperature fields have been derived which, in turn, is utilized to evaluate the Nusselt number. The results indicate an increase in Nusselt number for higher values of the third-grade fluid parameter during heating and indicate a reverse trend for cooling. Nusselt number increases with an increase in Hartmann number during heating, whereas it decreases with increasing values of the Hartmann number while cooling the fluid.
