Heat transfer from a discrete heat source to multiple, normally impinging, confined air jets was experimentally investigated. The jets issued from short, square-edged orifices with still-developing velocity profiles on to a foil heat source which produced a constant heat flux. The orifice plate and the surface containing the heat source were mounted opposite each other in a parallel-plates arrangement to effect radial outflow of the spent fluid. The local surface temperature was measured in fine increments over the entire heat source. Experiments were conducted for different jet Reynolds numbers (5000<Re<20,000), orifice-to-target spacing 0.5<H/d<4, and multiple-orifice arrangements. The results are compared to those previously obtained for single air jets. A reduction in orifice-to-target spacing was found to increase the heat transfer coefficient in multiple jets, with this effect being stronger at the higher Reynolds numbers. With a nine-jet arrangement, the heat transfer to the central jet was higher than for a corresponding single jet. For a four-jet arrangement, however, each jet was found to have stagnation-region heat transfer coefficients that were comparable to the single-jet values. The effectiveness of single and multiple jets in removing heat from a given heat source is compared at a fixed total flow rate. Predictive correlations are proposed for single and multiple jet impingement heat transfer.

The current numerical investigation will examine the effect of an impinging mixed convection air jet on the heat transfer rate of a parallel flat plate heat sink. A three-dimensional numerical model was developed to evaluate the effects of the nozzle diameter (d), nozzle-to-target vertical placement (H/d), Rayleigh number and the jet Reynolds number on the heat transfer rates from a discrete heat source. Simulations were performed for a Prandtl number of 0.7 and for Reynolds numbers ranging from 100 to 5000. The governing equations were solved in the dimensionless form using a commercial finite-volume package. Average Nusselt numbers were obtained, at H/d = 3 and two jet diameters, for the bare heat source, for the heat source with a base heat sink and for the heat source with the finned heat sink. The heat transfer rates from the bare heat sources surface have been compared with the ones obtained with the heat sink in order to determine the overall performance of the heat sink in an impingement configuration.

An experimental investigation was conducted to explore the flow behavior, pressure drop, and heat transfer due to free air jet impingement on square in-line pin fin heat sinks (PFHS) mounted on a plane horizontal surface. A parametrically consistent set of aluminum heat sinks with fixed base dimension of 25 × 25 mm was used, with pin heights varying between 12.5 mm and 22.5 mm, and fin thickness between 1.5 mm and 2.5 mm. A 6:1 contracting nozzle having a square outlet cross sectional area of 25 × 25 mm was used to blow air at ambient temperature on the top of the heat sinks with velocities varying from 2 to 20 m/s. The ratio of the gap between the jet exit and the pin tips to the pin height, the so-called tip clearance ratio, was varied from 0 (no tip clearance) to 1. The stagnation pressure recovered at the center of the heat sink was higher for tall pins than short pins. The pressure loss coefficient showed a little dependence on Re, increased with increasing pin density, and pin diameter, and decreased with increasing pin height and clearance ratio. The overall base-to-ambient thermal resistance decreased with increasing Re number, pin density and pin diameter. Surprisingly, the dependence of the thermal resistance on the pin height and clearance ratio was shown to be mild at low Re, and to vanish at high Re number.

In this study, a 3D numerical study of free ventilated room equipped with a discrete heat source was performed using the Finite Volume Method (FVM). To ensure good ventilation, two parallel openings were created in the room. A suction opening was located at the bottom of the left wall and another opening was located at the top of the opposite wall; the heat source was placed at various positions in order to compare the heating efficiency. The effects of Rayleigh number (103 ≤ Ra ≤ 106) for six heater positions was studied. The results focus on the impact of these parameters on the particle trajectories, temperature fields and on the heat transfer inside the room. It was found that the position of the heater has a dramatic effect on the behavior and topography of the flow in the room. When the heat source was placed on the wall with the suction opening, two antagonistic behaviors were recorded: an improvement in heat transfer of about 31.6%, compared to the other positions, and a low Rayleigh number against 22% attenuation for high Ra values was noted.

Air jet impingement is one of the effective cooling techniques employed in micro-electronic industry. To enhance the heat transfer performance, a cooling system with air jet impingement on a finned heat sink is evaluated via the computational fluid dynamics method. A two-dimensional confined slot air impinging on a finned flat plate is modeled. The numerical model is validated by comparison of the computed Nusselt number distribution on the impingement target with published experimental results. The flow characteristics and heat transfer performance of jet impingement on both of smooth and finned heat sinks are compared. It is observed that jet impingement over finned target plate improves the cooling performance significantly. A dimensionless heat transfer enhancement factor is introduced to quantify the effect of jet flow Reynolds number on the finned surface. The effect of rectangular fin dimensions on impingement heat transfer rate is discussed in order to optimize the cooling system. Also, the computed flow and thermal fields of the air impingement system are examined to explore the physical mechanisms for heat transfer enhancement.

Experimental investigation on heat transfer mechanism of air–water mist jet impingement cooling on a heated cylinder is presented. The target cylinder was electrically heated and was maintained under the boiling temperature of water. Parametric studies were carried out for four different values of mist loading fractions, Reynolds numbers, and nozzle-to-surface spacings. Reynolds number, Rehyd, defined based on the hydraulic diameter, was varied from 8820 to 17,106; mist loading fraction, f ranges from 0.25% to 1.0%; and nozzle-to-surface spacing, H/d was varied from 30 to 60. The increment in the heat transfer coefficient with respect to air-jet impingement is presented along with variation in the heat transfer coefficient along the axial and circumferential direction. It is observed that the increase in mist loading greatly increases the heat transfer rate. Increment in the heat transfer coefficient at the stagnation point is found to be 185%, 234%, 272%, and 312% for mist loading fraction 0.25%, 0.50%, 0.75%, and 1.0%, respectively. Experimental study shows identical increment in stagnation point heat transfer coefficient with increasing Reynolds number, with lowest Reynolds number yielding highest increment. Stagnation point heat transfer coefficient increased 263%, 259%, 241%, and 241% as compared to air-jet impingement for Reynolds number 8820, 11,493, 14,166, and 17,106, respectively. The increment in the heat transfer coefficient is observed with a decrease in nozzle-to-surface spacing. Stagnation point heat transfer coefficient increased 282%, 248%, 239%, and 232% as compared to air-jet impingement for nozzle-to-surface spacing of 30, 40, 50, and 60, respectively, is obtained from the experimental analysis. Based on the experimental results, a correlation for stagnation point heat transfer coefficient increment is also proposed.

In order to investigate the heat transfer of confined impinging jet with tiny size round nozzle, a bakelite laminate was used as the heat transfer surface of simulated chip. The thermocouples were mounted symmetrically along the diagonal of the laminate to measure the temperature distribution of the surface. The parameters such as Reynolds number (Re) and ratio of height-to-diameter were changed to investigate the radial distribution of Nu and the characteristics of heat transfer in stagnant section. The results show that hear transfer coefficient at stagnation point is maximal. It is decreased with the increases of the radial jet distance, but increased with Re and impinging height. Moreover, the effect of single-nozzle type is stronger than that of multi-nozzle type in the cases of same air flow. These studies will give a way for the application of air jet impingement in the electronics chip cooling.
