Effect of crossflow regulation by varying jet diameters in streamwise direction on jet impingement heat transfer under maximum crossflow condition

Jet impingement heat transfer has been studied numerically for a maximum crossflow condition using a 3?×?9 array of jets. Five-hole configurations have been studied for jet average Reynolds numbers ranging from 10,000 to 20,000. Crossflow has been mitigated by varying the jet diameters in the streamwise direction to reduce the impact of crossflow on downstream jet impingement. The design criteria for all five configurations were to keep the average of the jet diameters equal to the constant jet diameter configuration (baseline). It has been found that the configuration with increasing and then decreasing jet diameters provided higher levels of heat transfer with more uniform cooling when compared to the traditional constant diameter configuration and other configurations.     

Liquid Jet Impingement Heat Transfer with or without Boiling

The purpose of this paper is to summarize the important studies in the area of impingement heat transfer with or without phase change, with emphasis on the research conducted at Beijing Polytechnic University mainly with circular jets. Heat transfer characteristics of single phase jets are discussed in detail. Comment is presented on boiling heat transfer of impinging jets for steady and transient states. Some special colling configurations of two-phase jets are also introduced.     

Multiple orifice synthetic jet for improvement in impingement heat transfer

Synthetic jet is potentially useful for cooling of electronic components and its utility has been investigated in previous studies. Synthetic jet will become further attractive if additional cooling can be obtained without a corresponding increase in the input power. In this context, we explore the use of multiple orifice single-cavity synthetic jet employed in direct impingement mode of cooling. Experiments are conducted for different configurations with a center orifice surrounded by multiple satellite orifices. The Reynolds number is in the range of 1000–2600 while the normalized axial distance is varied in the range of 1–30 in this study. The maximum heat transfer coefficient with multiple orifice synthetic jet is approximately 12 times that of the natural heat transfer coefficient and up to 30% more as compared to that obtained with a conventional single orifice jet. Interestingly, the average Nusselt number gets maximized at two axial distances-the two peaks can be of comparable magnitude. The appearance, location and magnitude of the two peaks depend on the number of satellite orifices and the pitch circle radius on which the satellite holes lie. It is proposed that a transition in flow behavior from multiple-jet to a combined-jet occurs, which leads to the appearance of this additional peak. The additional peak (at the smaller axial distance) can be utilized in the design of cooling solutions for compact devices. The input power reduces slightly in the multi-orifice case with respect to the conventional design. The average velocity at the surface is also obtained with the help of hot-wire anemometry. The use of multiple orifice synthetic jet does not appear to have been explored earlier and the results are expected to be useful in several practical applications.     

Effect of jet direction on heat/mass transfer of rotating impingement jet

The objective of this study is to investigate the heat/mass transfer characteristics on various impinging jets under rotating condition. Two cooling schemes related to impingement jet are considered; array impingement jet cooling and impingement/effusion cooling. The test duct rotates at Ro = 0.075 with two different jet orientations and the jet Reynolds number is fixed at 5000. Two H/d configurations of 2.0 and 6.0 are conducted. The detailed heat/mass transfer coefficients on the target plate are measured by a naphthalene sublimation technique. The rotation changes the local heat/mass transfer characteristics due to the jet deflection and spreading phenomenon. For H/d = 6.0, the jet is strongly deflected at the leading orientation, resulting in the significant decrease in heat/mass transfer. At the axial orientation, the momentum of jet core decreases slightly due to jet spreading into the radial direction and consequently, the value of stagnation peak is a little lower than that of the stationary case. However, reduction of heat/mass transfer due to rotation disappears at a low H/d of 2.0. In the averaged Sh, the leading orientation with H/d = 6.0 shows 35% lower value than that of the stationary case whereas the other rotating cases lead to a similar value of the stationary case.     

Experimental investigation of impingement heat transfer on a flat and dimpled plate with different crossflow schemes

A nine-by-nine jet array impinging on a flat and dimpled plate at Reynolds numbers from 15,000 to 35,000 has been studied by the transient liquid crystal method. The distance between the impingement plate and target plate is adjusted to be 3, 4 and 5 jet diameters. Three jet-induced crossflow schemes, referred as minimum, medium and maximum crossflow correspondingly, have been measured. The local air jet temperature is measured at several positions on the impingement plate to account for an appropriate reference temperature of the heat transfer coefficient. The heat transfer results of the dimpled plate are compared with those of the flat plate. The best heat transfer performance is obtained with the minimum crossflow and narrow jet-to-plate spacing no matter on a flat or dimpled plate. The presence of dimples on the target plate produce higher heat transfer coefficients than the flat plate for maximum and minimum crossflow.     

Multiobjective optimization study of jet impingement heat transfer through a porous passage configuration

The present study reports an optimized configuration of multijets impinging through porous passages, providing a viable solution for applications requiring localized heat transfer. The cascaded collision lattice Boltzmann numerical method is initially validated with the in-house experimental results of single jet impinging through a porous passage configuration. A multiobjective optimization study using Kriging-GA algorithm is conducted on a single jet impinging through a porous passage at a Reynolds number of 400, considering Darcy number, porosity, and porous passage height as variables and Nusselt number, nondimensional pressure drop as the conflicting objectives. The optimal parameters from the generated pareto plot are chosen attributing equal weightage to Nusselt number and nondimensional pressure drop. Finally, an optimal pitch for multijets impinging through optimized porous passages is determined to maximize heat transfer performance.     

Synchronal measurement of flow structure and heat transfer of impingement jet

This paper will present the characteristics of flow behavior and thermal field of both free and
impingement jet issued from a circular orifice nozzle at Re=8900.The flow behavior of a single round
jet and impingement jet was observed by smoke flow visualization recorded by a high speed camera
using 5000 frame per second.Heat transfer coefficient on the impingement surface was measured by
means of infrared camera （TVS-8500,Avio） with a two-dimensional array of Indeum-Antimony （In Sb）
sensors varying in the separation distance between the nozzle and the target plate.The heat transfer
coefficient changes in time and spatial.Therefore,the root mean square distribution of the heat
transfer was obtained from the data.As a result,it was confirmed that the longitudinal vortex was
observed outside of the ring vortex,and then the longitudinal vortex was penetrated in the jet
flow.Moreover,the high value of root mean square of the heat transfer coefficient has spread radially
in stripy manner,which is caused as the results of the longitudinal vortexes flowing in the radial
direction on the impingement plate.

Effect of nozzle sizes on jet impingement heat transfer in He-cooled divertor

The use of impinging jets for divertor cooling in the conceptual fusion power plant is attracting much attention due to its very high heat removal capability and moderate pumping power requirement. The latest and the most advanced divertor concept is based on modular design cooled by helium impinging jets. To reduce the thermal stresses, the plasma-facing side of the divertor is build up of numerous small cooling fingers cooled by an array of helium jets. In this study the influence of nozzle sizes on the heat transfer and flow characteristics of such cooling finger is investigated numerically. The main objective is to find an optimal size and distribution of nozzle diameters in the jet array in which the heat transfer would be the highest possible at an acceptable pressure drop through the cooling finger. Prior to nozzle diameters modification, the simulation results for the reference finger geometry were validated against high heat flux experiments. A good agreement was obtained. The nozzle diameters were then modified at two different mass flow rates (13.5 g/s and 6.8 g/s per cooling finger). The most critical design parameter of interest was the maximum thimble temperature, which is limited by the melting temperature of the filler material in the brazed finger joint. It has been found that an optimal jet arrangement should have equal nozzle diameters to reach the highest thimble temperature decrease, while keeping the pressure drop within reasonable limits.     

On the impingement heat transfer of an oblique free surface plane jet

The objective of the present study is to understand the hydrodynamics and heat transfer of the impingement process, particularly the complexities attributable to the asymmetric geometry of an oblique liquid plane jet. The Navier-Stokes equations are solved using a finite-volume formulation with a two-step projection method on a fixed non-uniform rectangular grid. The free surface of the jet is tracked by the volume-of-fluid method with a second order accurate piecewise-linear scheme. The energy equation is modeled by using an enthalpy-based formulation. The method provides a state-of-the-art comprehensive model of the dynamic and thermal aspects of the impinging process. Nusselt number plots and pressure distributions on the substrate are obtained. The locations of the maximum Nusselt number as well as maximum pressure on the surface are identified and compared with the geometric jet impingement point. Results for normal impingement are also obtained and are used as reference. The effects of several parameters are examined. These include jet Reynolds number, jet impingement angle and jet inlet velocity profile. Experimental and analytical data from the literature are also included for comparison.     

Conjugated heat transfer investigation with racetrack-shaped jet hole and double swirling chamber in rotating jet impingement

A numerical study is performed to investigate the effects of jet hole shape and channel geometry on impingement cooling for both stationary and rotating condition. Two hole shapes and two channel geometries are introduced to counteract the adverse effects of centrifugal force and Coriolis force which are induced by rotation. Both the fluid and solid part are considered for realizing the conjugate heat transfer simulation. The unsteady k-ω SST turbulence model was employed to obtain the time-averaged Nusselt number distributions, time-averaged temperature and temperature gradient fields and the turbulent flow structure. The results show that the cooling jet from the racetrack-shaped hole can effectively withstand the intensive streamwise crossflow to enhance the heat transfer. The double swirling chamber (DSC) channel significantly improves the heat transfer characteristics on the cambered surface and diminishes the adverse effects of the Coriolis force. The high Nu number region is expanded while the temperature uniformity is improved. The combination of the racetrack-shaped hole and DSC channel provides the highest heat transfer among the four cases. The averaged Nu numbers on both the leading and trailing sides for all tested cases show obvious downtrend as rotation number increases, especially at high Reynolds number.

Effects of Mach number and Reynolds number on jet array impingement heat transfer

Experimental results from the present study show substantial, independent Mach number effects (as the Reynolds number is held constant) for an array of impinging jets. The present discharge coefficients, local and spatially averaged Nusselt numbers, and local and spatially averaged recovery factors are unique because (i) these data are obtained at constant Reynolds number as the Mach number is varied, and at constant Mach number as the Reynolds number is varied, and (ii) data are given for jet impingement Mach numbers up to 0.74, and for Reynolds numbers up to 60,000. As such, results are given for experimental conditions not previously examined, which are outside the range of applicability of existing correlations.     

Numerical optimizations of hybrid-linked jet impingement heat transfer based on the genetic algorithm

ABSTRACT

The present paper considers hybrid-linked jet impingement, which involves both parallel linked jets and series linked jets. An optimization platform was established with the aid of computational fluid dynamics, response surface methodology, and genetic algorithm. Of particular interest is the influence of optimization strategies and constrain conditions on the results. With the objective function of minimal mass flow rate, the optimal structures show consistent parameters and series linked topology. On the contrary, the results for minimal pressure drop show different topologies under different constraint conditions. Such results indicate the capability of hybrid-linked jet impingement to fit a wide range of applications by changing the topology.     

Secondary flows and extra heat transfer enhancement of ribbed surfaces with jet impingement

Previous experiments recognize that substantial heat transfer augmentation is achieved by adding ribbed turbulators after jet impingement with cross flow present. To address fundamental working mechanisms, conjugate CFD simulations are employed for ribs, jet impingement, and their combinations. Flow characteristics and drawbacks for the individual and combined enhancement techniques are highlighted. New analysis on the coupled design arrangement reveals that the counter-rotating vortices generated by the jet flow can energize inter-rib recirculating vortices and promote span-wise convection. With an optimal design combination arrangement, extra heat transfer benefit is achieved beyond that associated with simple superposition of rib and jet impingement techniques.     

Enhancement of an impingement heat transfer between turbulent mist jet and flat surface

The work presents the results of numerical investigation of the flow structure and heat transfer of impact mist jet with low concentration of droplets (M_L1 ? 1%). The downward gas-droplets jet issued from a pipe and strikes into at a center of the circular target wall. Mathematical model is based in the solution to RANS equations for the two-phase flow in Euler approximation. For the calculation of the fluctuation characteristics of the dispersed phase equations of Zaichik et al. (1997) [35] model were applied. Predictions were performed for the distances between the nozzle and target plate x/(2R) = 1–10 and the initial droplets size (d₁ = 5–100 μm) at the fixed Reynolds number based on the nozzle diameter, Re = 26,600. Addition of droplets causes significant increase of heat transfer intensity in the vicinity of the jet stagnation point compared with the one-phase air impact jet.     

Effects of outlet port positions on the jet impingement heat transfer characteristics in the mini-fin heat sink

Effects of outlet port positions on the jet liquid impingement heat transfer characteristics in the mini-rectangular fin heat sink are numerically investigated. The three-dimensional governing equations for fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics are solved using finite volume scheme. The standard k-ε turbulent model is employed to solve the model for describing the heat transfer behaviors. The predicted results obtained from the model are verified by the measured data. The predicted results are reasonable agreement with the measured data. The outlet port positions have significant effect on the uniformities in velocity and temperature. Based on the results from this study, it is expected to lead to guidelines that will allow the design of the cooling system to ensure the electronic devices at the safe operating temperature.     

Thermal-fluid characteristics of plate-fin heat sinks cooled by impingement jet

This work experimentally and numerically studies the thermal-fluid characteristics of plate-fin heat sinks under impingement cooling by adjusting the impinging Reynolds number, the impingement distance, and the fin dimensions. The parameters and the ranges under consideration are the impinging Reynolds number (Re = 5000–25,000), the impingement distance (Y/D = 4–28), the fin width (W/L = 0.08125–0.15625) and the fin height (H/L = 0.375–0.625). The results show that the heat transferred by the heat sink increases with the impinging Reynolds number. The thermal performance can be improved significantly even at low impinging Reynolds number. However, the improvement becomes indistinct as the impinging Reynolds number increases. The thermal resistance declines as the impingement distance increases, and is minimal at Y/D = 20 for various impinging Reynolds numbers. Additionally, the thermal resistance increases as the impingement distance increases further. Increasing the fin width can effectively reduce the thermal resistance. However, as the fin width increases beyond a particular value, the thermal resistance increases dramatically. Reducing the thermal resistance by increasing the fin height depends on a suitable impinging Reynolds number and fin width. Therefore, the effect of the fin height is weaker than that of the impinging Reynolds number or the fin width.     

The effect of surface renewal due to largescale eddies on jet impingement heat transfer

The mechanism for the enhancement of stagnation-point heat transfer was explored analyzing the large-scale turbulent structures of an impinging round jet by a statistical technique with conditional sampling. It has been found that large-scale eddies impinging on the heat transfer surfaces produce a turbulent surface-renewal effect dominant for the enhancement of the jet impingement heat transfer. The effect of heat transfer enhancement can be described in terms of the turbulent Reynolds and Strouhal numbers based on the characteristic turbulence intensity and frequency of the large-scale eddies impinging on the stagnation-point boundary layer.
