The Impact

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.

Impingement Surface

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.

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.

Impingement Heat Transfer

In this paper, heat transfer and effectiveness of a turbulent slot jet impinging over a heated circular cylinder have been investigated numerically by varying the ratio of jet temperature to the ambient temperature, Θj = Tj/Tamp, from 0.7 to 1.2. In all cases, the ambient temperature (Tamb) is assumed to be constant (300 K). The Reynolds number defined based on the average nozzle exit velocity, the diameter of the cylindrical target (D), and properties at the nozzle exit temperature, ReD=ρVD/μ is varied from 6000 to 20,000. The ratio of cylinder diameter to the slot width, D/S = 5.5, 8.5, and 17 are considered and the nondimensional distance from the nozzle exit to the cylinder, H/S is varied in the range of 2 ≤ H/S ≤ 12. The v′2¯−f turbulence model was used for numerical simulations. Numerical results reveal that the local Nusselt number is found to be higher at the stagnation point in the case of cold jet impingement at Θj = 0.7. The local heat transfer at the rear side of the cylinder is 8–18% less as compared to that of Θj = 1.0 for ReD = 6000. The local effectiveness calculated over a circular cylinder strongly depends on H/S and D/S. Based on the parametric study, a correlation has been provided for the local effectiveness at the stagnation point.

Volume Method

The purpose of this numerical investigation is to study the micro-jet impingement heat transfer characteristics and hydromechanics in a 3-D, actual-shaped turbine vane geometry. No concession is made on either the skewness or curvature profile of the airfoil in the streamwise direction, nor to the lean, airfoil twist or tapering of the vane in the spanwise direction. The problem on hand consists of a constant property flow of air via an array of 42 round micro jets impinging onto the inner surface of the airfoil. For simplicity, validation and better understanding of the nature of impingement heat transfer, the airfoil surfaces are provided with a constant temperature boundary condition. Validation is performed against existing numerical results on a simplified model with no spanwise tapering or twisting. The modeled volume spans a total of 12D and consists of three rows of jets; each row contains 14 inline jets. Governing equations are solved using a finite volume method in FLUENT. Effects of jet inclination (+45° and −45° inclinations) and decrease in nozzle diameter (0.51, 0.25 and 0.125 mm) are studied. Inclination of −45° produced enhanced mixing and secondary peaks with marginal decrease in stagnation values. The effect of reducing the diameter of the jets yielded positive results; the tapering effect too enhanced the local heat transfer values, which is attributed to the increase in local velocities at jet exit.

Inclined Surface

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.

Indirect passive solar crop dryers have the potential to considerably reduce the losses that presently occur during drying of some crops in many parts of the “developing” world. The performance so far achieved with such dryers has, however, not proved to be very satisfactory. If this performance is to be improved it is necessary to have an accurate computer model of such dryers to assist in their design. An important element is any dryer model is an accurate equation for the convective heat transfer in the collector. To assist in the development of such an equation, an experimental and numerical study of the collector heat transfer has been undertaken. In the experimental study, the collector was simulated by a 1m long by 1m wide channel with a gap of 4 cm between the upper and lower surfaces. The lower surface of the channel consisted of an aluminium plate with an electrical heating element, simulating the solar heating, bonded to its lower surface. Air was blown through this channel at a measured rate and the temperature profiles at various points along the channel were measured using a shielded thermocouple probe. Local heat transfer rates were then determined from these measured temperature profiles. In the numerical study, the parabolic forms of the governing equations were solved by a forward-marching finite difference procedure.

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.

Porous Enclosure

A comprehensive numerical study on the natural convection in a hydrodynamically anisotropic as well as isotropic porous enclosure is presented, flow is induced by non uniform sinusoidal heating of the right wall of the enclosure. The principal directions of the permeability tensor has been taken oblique to the gravity vector. The spectral Element method has been adopted to solve numerically the governing differential equations by using the vorticity-stream-function approach. The results are presented in terms of stream function, temperature profile and Nusselt number. The result show that the maximum heat transfer takes place at y = 1.5 when N is odd.. Also, increasing media permeability, by changing K* = 1 to K* = 0.2, increases heat transfer rate at below and above right corner of the enclosure. Furthermore, for the all values of N, profiles of local Nusselt number (Nuy) in isotropic as well as anisotropic media are similar, but for even values of N differ slightly at N = 2.. In particular the present analysis shows that, different periodicity (N) of temperature boundary condition has the significant effect on the flow pattern and consequently on the local heat transfer phenomena.

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.
