Heat transfer characteristics of an array of impinging pre-mixed slot flame jets

An experimental study was carried out to investigate the shape and the heat transfer characteristics of an array of three laminar pre-mixed butane/air slot flame jets impinging upwards normally on a horizontal water-cooled flat plate. The effects of jet-to-jet spacing and nozzle-to-plate distance were examined at the Reynolds number (Re) of 1000 and the equivalence ratio (?) of unity. Comparisons of the heat transfer characteristics between single and multiple slot flame jets, as well as multiple slot and round jets, were made. The between-jet interference decreased with increasing jet-to-jet spacing (s/d_e) and nozzle-to-plate distance (H/d_e). Strong interference was obtained at s/d_e = 1 and H/d_e = 2, at which the central jet was suppressed while the side jets were deflected towards their free sides. In addition, there was no minimum heat flux found in the inter-jet interacting zone, instead, a peak heat flux was obtained. Thermal performance was reduced when H/d_e became smaller than the length of the conical luminous reaction zone of the flame. A maximum average heat flux occurred at the moderate jet-to-jet spacing of s/d_e = 2.5 at Re = 1000, ? = 1 and H/d_e = 2. The resultant heat flux distribution of the central jet of a multiple slot jets system was higher than that of a single slot jet when the jet-to-jet spacing was small, but this advantage in thermal performance diminished when the jet-to-jet spacing was increased. Besides, the area-averaged heat flux of the multiple slot flame jets was higher than that of the multiple round flame jets arranged at the same geometric configuration.     

Heat transfer characteristics of a slot jet impinging on a semi-circular convex surface

Surface heat transfer characteristics of a heated slot jet impinging on a semi-circular convex surface have been investigated by using the transient heating liquid crystal technique. Free jet velocity, turbulence and temperature characteristics have been determined by using a combination of an X-wire and a cold wire anemometry. The parametric effects of jet Reynolds number (Re_W) ranging from 5600 to 13,200 and the dimensionless slot nozzle-to-impingement surface distance (Y/W) ranges from 2 to 10 on the local circumferential heat transfer have been studied. Local circumferential Nusselt number (Nu_S) decreases with increasing the dimensionless circumferential distance (S/W) from its maximum value at the stagnation point up to S/W=3.1. The transition in the wall jet from laminar to turbulent flow was completed by about 3.3?S/W?4.2 which coincided with a secondary peak in heat transfer. Correlations of local and average Nusselt numbers with Re_W, Y/W and S/W have been established for the stagnation point and the circumferential distribution. The rate of decay of average circumferential Nusselt numbers around the semi-circular convex surface is much faster than that which occurs laterally along the flat surface. As Y/W increases, the effect of surface curvature becomes apparent and the difference between the flat surface correlation and the convex surface becomes more pronounced.     

Simultaneous visualization of flow field and evaluation of local heat transfer by transitional impinging jets

A combined approach has been employed to characterize the flow field and local heat transfer in jet impingement configurations, featuring a mass transfer experiment and a digital visualization technique. A jet velocity range is spanned to ensure flow regime transition.The well-known heat/mass transfer analogy has been used to infer on the local heat exchange on a infinite plate. In this experiment, a naphthalene film is ablated from a disk, due to jet exposure. Automated contact measurements of the variation of film depth in the stagnation region and beyond have been performed. From the local naphthalene loss rate the local heat transfer is then inferred. Coherent structures are created both at the interface between free jet and quiescent medium and upon impingement at plate, and need to be visualized in the vicinity of stagnation. To this end a particle image velocimetry system is exploited to extract the two components velocity instantaneous information.Ablation measurements confirm the non-monotonic progress of local heat transfer for small nozzle-to-plate spacings. The visualizations evidence that local heat transfer is strongly influenced by impingement structures: the maximum heat transfer coefficient offset which can be detected is due, even for laminar or transitional jet, to large-scale toroidal vortices impacting on the plate.

Effect of Pressure Gradient on Heat Transfer of Impinging Submerged Circular Jets

An experimental and numerical study have been carried out to investigate the distribution of radial local heat transfer coefficients of impinging submerged circular jets. Good agreement is achieved between the experimental results and the predicted value. Results show that the outer peak usually occurs at the radial location of r/d= 1.8~2.0, in which transition from laminar to turbulence happens resulting from disappeared pressure gradient abruptly, and that the inner peak appears rigidly at r/d=0.5, where the boundary layer has a minimum thickness because of elevating pressure gradient.

Numerical analysis of heat transfer due to slot jets impingement onto two cylinders with different diameters

A numerical investigation has been performed two-dimensional slot impingement onto two heated cylinders with different diameters turbulent flow conditions. Height of slot jet is taken as constant for all cases. The study is performed to see the effects of effective parameters on heat and fluid flow as jet Reynolds number (11,000 ≤ Re ≤ 20,000), diameter ratio of cylinders (0.5 ≤ D₁/D₂ ≤ 1.5) and ratio of distance between cylinders to slot jet high (L/S). Streamlines, isotherms, local and mean Nusselt numbers and Cd coefficient were obtained. These results were compared with earlier experimental and numerical works and good agreement was obtained. It is found that diameter ratios of cylinders can be a control element for heat and fluid flow.

A study on the heat and mass transfer properties of multiple pulsating impinging jets

In order to explore the potential effect of unsteady intermittent pulsations on the heat and mass transfer rate of multiple impinging jets, a numerical study is performed on a two-dimensional pulsating impinging jet array under large temperature differences between jet flows and impingement wall when the thermo-physical properties can change significantly in the flow domain. Computational fluid dynamic approach is used to simulate the flow and thermal fields of multiple pulsating impinging jets. The numerical results indicate a significant heat transfer enhancement due to intermittent pulsation over a wide range of conditions. The oscillatory flow periodically alters the flow patterns in contrast to steady jets, which can eliminate the formation of a static stagnation point and enhance the local Nusselt number along the impingement wall between adjacent jets. Examination of the velocity field shows that the instantaneous heat transfer rate on the target surface is highly dependent on the hydrodynamic and thermal boundary layer development with time.     

Numerical simulation of asymmetrical flow and heat transfer behind a hill in shear flows

Three‐dimensional numerical simulations of asymmetrical flows and heat transfer around a hill in shear flows were performed. When shear velocity distributions are introduced at the inlet, a vortex pair is formed asymmetrically to the spanwise direction behind the hill. Further, an asymmetrical hairpin vortex is periodically generated downstream. The leg of the asymmetrical hairpin vortex on the high‐speed side collapses first. Further downstream, the asymmetrical hairpin vortex breaks down earlier than the symmetrical hairpin vortex, and streamwise vortices appear on the high‐speed side. These streamwise vortices increase the heat transfer downstream. In contrast, no hairpin vortex appears in the case of a strong shear velocity distribution, but instead a streamwise vortex appears. The heat transfer decreases downstream since the turbulence generated by streamwise vortices is weak. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Study of heat transfer for a pair of rectangular jets impinging on an inclined surface

Critical design parameters in jet impingement heat transfer like nozzle hydraulic diameter, jet angle and velocity, physical properties of the fluid, and nozzle-to-target plane spacing are the subject. This paper identifies the dominant fluid-thermal characteristics of a pair of rectangular air jets impinging on an inclined surface. Heat transfer modes and flow characteristics are studied with eight different Reynolds numbers ranging from 500 to 20 000. Local and average Nusselt numbers are evaluated with two different boundary conditions on three specified lines located on the inclined surface. The correlation between stagnation Nusselt number and Reynolds number is presented. Turbulent intensity and wall y⁺ distributions are compared on three lines parallel to the incline. The effect of jet impingement angle on local and average Nusselt number is also documented. Finally, a correlation between the average Nusselt number, nozzle exit Reynolds number and the jet angle is documented.     

Study on flow and heat transfer of multiple impingement jets

Multiple jets are often used to obtain high heat transfer in a wide area. Heat and flow behavior of multiple jets show more complicated characteristics due to the existence of the interactions between adjoining jets, and between jets and spent flows. To clarify the influence of the flow behavior on heat transfer fields, the time and spatial heat transfer coefficients over the impingement plate were measured using an infrared radiometer when four jets impinged to the impingement plate for various jets arrangements and separating distances from jet exit to the impingement plate. The flow fields were also visualized by means of a water table. The heat transfer characteristics are made clear from the results of the instantaneous heat transfer contour or temperature fluctuation values. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Local heat transfer characteristics of array impinging jets from elongated orifices

The aim of this research is to enhance the heat transfer on an impinged surface under an impinging jet array by minimizing a cross-flow effect. Conventional round orifices (aspect ratio, AR = 1) are substituted by the elongated orifices with aspect ratio AR = 4 and 8 with the same jet exit area. Two types of orifice arrangements; in-line and staggered arrays are compared. The experimental investigation was carried out at constant distance from orifice plate to impinged surface H = 2D_E (D_E is equivalent diameter of orifice). The heat transfer characteristic was visualized using thermochromic liquid crystal sheet (TLCs) and the Nusselt number distribution was evaluated by an image processing technique. The flow characteristic on the impinged surface was also visualized by oil film technique. The results show that the cross-flow in a case of the jets issued from the orifices with AR = 4 is considerably less significant than that in cases of the ones delivered from the orifices with AR = 1 and 8. At Reynolds number of 13,400, the Nusselt numbers for the jet arrays issued from the elongated orifices with AR = 4 with in-line and staggered arrangements are respectively 6.04% and 12.52% higher than those for the case of AR = 1.
