Effect of cross-flow velocity on flow and heat transfer characteristics of impinging jet with low jet-to-plate distance

An effect of cross-flow velocity on flow and heat transfer characteristics of impinging jet in the case of low jet-to-plate distance at H = 2D was experimentally and numerically investigated. In the experiments, the air jet from orifice impingement on the wall of wind tunnel while a cross-flow was simultaneously induced normal to the jet flow. The jet velocity was fixed while the cross-flow velocity was varied corresponding to velocity ratios (jet velocity/cross-flow velocity) VR = 3, 5 and 7. The temperature distribution on an impinged surface was visualized by using thermochromic liquid crystal sheet (TLCs), and Nusselt number distribution was evaluated by using image processing method. The flow pattern on impingement surface was visualized by using oil film technique. The numerical simulation was carried out for a better understanding of the jet flow in the cross-flow. The results show that Nusselt number peak shifts downstream and the Nusselt number peak increases with increasing cross-flow velocity.

A numerical study of impingement heat transfer in a confined circular jet

Heat transfer characteristics of a submerged circular jet impingement with a confined plate was studied numerically. The continuity, momentum and energy equations were solved simultaneously. FIDAP, a finite element code, was used to formulate and solve the matrix equations for fluid elements. The effects of channel height and Reynolds number on the local Nusselt number were considered in the range of H=0.5–1.5 and Re=100–900, respectively. It was found that the channel height influenced strongly on the surface temperature, shear stress and pressure drop. The peak temperature was observed and gradually moved outward to the rim of the heated circular plate with increasing the Reynolds number, which may be related to flow recirculation region in the channel. It is also noted that the pressure drop increased more than the average heat transfer coefficient as the Reynolds number increased. For Pr=7, the Nusselt number was much more dependent on the Reynolds number than the channel height, and the magnitude of the second peak in the Nusselt number distribution increased as the Reynolds number increased. The local Nusselt number calculated based on a mixing-cup temperature was considerably different from that using the inlet nozzle temperature for H=0.5 and Re=100. The present study showed that the local Nusselt number of a confined submerged jet was significantly larger than that of the unconfined free jet which was available in the literature.     

Effect of thermal radiation on convection heat transfer in cooling channel of photovoltaic thermal system

The effect of thermal radiation on convection heat transfer in flat-box type cooling channel of photovoltaic thermal system with tilt angle of 30 degree was studied by 3D numerical simulation under constant heat flux boundary condition. The temperature contours and velocity fields of fluid near the outlet were obtained. The variations of wall temperature and convection Nusselt number along flow direction for all the separate walls composing the cooling channel were compared and analyzed. The results show that due to thermal radiation, the deflection of the maximum velocity region to heated top wall, together with the asymmetry of temperature field is weakened. For natural convection, radiation promotes the formation of multi-vortices. For mixed convection, heat transfer on all the cooling channel walls is enhanced under the condition of lower heat flux while heat transfer on heated top wall is deteriorated when the heat flux is relative high. Also, pressure re-rising is promoted by thermal radiation.

The effects of the compressibility of the subsonic flow on heat transfer characteristics in a microscale impinging slot jet

We experimentally investigated the effects of both the compressibility and nozzle width on the local heat transfer distribution of microscale unconfmed slot jets impinging on a uniformly heated flat plate. We made heat transfer measurements under the following experimental conditions; Reynolds numbers of Re = 4000~10000, Mach numbers of Ma = 0.13~0.68, nozzle-to-plate distances of H/B = 3~25, lateral distances of x/B = 0~25, and nozzle widths of B = 300~700 μm having a nozzle aspect ratio of y/B = 30. A thermal infrared imaging technique was used to measure the impingement plate temperature. The experimental results show that for all tested Re and H/B values at a nozzle width of B = 300 μm, the Nusselt number maximum occurred nearly at the stagnation point and then monotonically decreased along the downstream. However, at B = 500 and 700 μm, the maximum Nusselt number point shifted toward x/B ≈ 1.5~2.0. And the Nusselt number increased, as x/B increased, from the stagnation point to the shifted maximum point and monotonically decreased afterward. This shifted maximum point may be attributable to vortex rings promoting sudden flow acceleration and entrainment of surrounding air moving along the jet axis. For the same Reynolds number, the Nusselt number in the stagnation region increased as the nozzle width increased due to a momentum increase of the jet flow caused by the formation of vortices. And, the Nusselt numbers for the smallest nozzle width of B = 300 μm (or highest Mach number at a given Reynolds number) at all H/B and Reynolds numbers tested significantly deviated from those for B = 500 and 700 μm in the downstream region corresponding to x/B > 5, suggesting that the compressibility, when it is high, can affect the heat transfer in the downstream region.

Heat transfer in a turbulent jet impinging on a moving plate considering high plate-to-jet velocity ratios

In this paper, heat transfer characteristics of a turbulent slot jet impinging orthogonally on an isothermal moving hot plate is studied numerically. The governing equations were discretized using the finite volume method and the υ ² — f turbulence model was employed for turbulence modeling. The effect of the jet Reynolds number and the plate-to-jet velocity ratio (R) on the Nusselt were investigated. Despite of most previous studies, which have been restricted to R≤2, in the present research higher values of R, also were considered (0≤R≤6). Range of studied jet Reynolds number was between 3000 and 60000. The results indicate that at a fixed plate-to-jet velocity ratio increment of the Reynolds number leads to the enhancement of the average Nusselt number. For each Reynolds number, the average Nusselt number reduces with increasing the plate-to-jet velocity ratio until it becomes minimum at R = 1.25. For R>1.25 trend changes so that these parameters increase. In addition, it was found that only for R>2.5 the average Nusselt number is improved due to the plate motion in comparison with the stationary jet. The results are validated against available experimental data, showing good agreement.

燃气轮机燃烧室冲击射流冷却火焰筒壁的结构参数研究（英文）

The flame temperature in the combustor of a gas turbine is usually as high as 2000 K, while the maximum temperature that can be endured by metal materials is less than 1200 K at present. Therefore, various protective and cooling measures are needed to ensure the operation life of the liner wall which wraps the flame. The lean premixed combustor can meet the increasingly stringent emission requirements, but it requires more air for premixed combustion and then less air for cooling and dilution. In order to obtain a better impingement jet cooling structure, this paper studied the impingement jet cooling structure with vertical circular holes of equal diameter under single outlet condition. The structural variables studied include the jet hole diameter D, the impinging distance Z, the jet hole length(jet plate thickness) t, and the jet-to-jet spacing X is ignored. Among them, X/D(the ratio of the jet-to-jet spacing to the jet diameter) is inversely correlated with the mass flow rate. Within the constant X/D being equal to 10, the influence of D, Z and t on the average heat transfer coefficient h of the target surface under same mass flow was determined by means of conjugate numerical heat transfer analysis and orthogonal test. The results show that Z has significant influence on h, D has moderate influence on h, and t has negligible influence on h. Further, by means of regression orthogonal test, the influence trend of parameters Z and D on h at X/D=10 was studied. The optimal values of Z and D within the research scope were found.     

Effect of channel and plenum aspect ratios on the performance of microchannel heat sink under different flow arrangements

Microchannels based heat sinks are considered as potential thermal management solution for electronic devices. The overall thermal performance of a microchannel heat sink depends on the flow characteristics within microchannels as well as within the inlet and outlet plenum and these flow phenomena are influenced by channel aspect ratio, plenum aspect ratio and flow arrangements at the inlet and outlet plenums. In the present research work an experimental investigation has been carried out to understand how the heat transfer and pressure drop attributes vary with different plenum aspect ratio and channel aspect ratio under different flow arrangements. For this purpose microchannel test pieces with two channel aspect ratios, 4.72 and 7.57 and three plenum aspect ratios, 2.5, 3.0 and 3.75 have been tested under three flow arrangements, namely U-, S- and P-types. Test runs were performed by maintaining three constant heat inputs, 125 W, 225 W and 375 W in the range 224.3 ?? R_e ?? 1121.7. Reduction in channel width (increase in aspect ratio, defined as depth to width of channel) in the present case has shown about 126 to 165% increase in Nusselt number, whereas increase in plenum length (reduction in plenum aspect ratio defined as width to length of plenum) has resulted in 18 to 26% increase in Nusselt number.     

Numerical simulation of fluid flow and heat transfer in a plasma spray gun

A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation for analyzing fluid flow patterns in a plasma spray gun is presented in this study. It is coupled with a heat transfer simulation of the plasma spray gun. Based on CFD and heat transfer theory, the numerical model of the nozzle in the plasma spray gun is developed, and the coupled simulation of the flow fluid and heat transfer is carried out with the semi-implicit method for pressure-linked equations (SIMPLE) method. Local turbulence, which will lead to appearance of a static-water region, is found at the front corner of the cooling channel in the nozzle. The locations insufficiently cooled are found in the wall near the heat source and in the gasket in the rear of the nozzle. Then, cooling processes with different parameters of cooling water are analyzed. The optimal velocity and direction of cooling water, which efficiently cool the nozzle and improve the service life of the plasma jet, are obtained .

An experimental study on the flow and heat transfer characteristics of an impinging jet

The flow and heat transfer characteristics of an impinging jet is investigated in two major stages. The first stage is about the investigation of the three dimensional mean flow and the turbulent flow quantities in free jet, stagnation and wall jet region. After a complete documentation of the flow field, the convective heat transfer coefficient distributions on the impingement plate are presented, during the second stage of the study. Heat transfer experiments using the new hue-capturing technique result in high resolution wall heating rate distributions. The technique is fully automated using a true color image processing system. The present heat transfer results are discussed in detail in terms of the flow characteristics. The measurements from the new method are compared with conventional heat flux sensors located on the same model. These heat transfer distributions are also compared with other studies available from the literature. The new non-intrusive heat transfer method is highly effective in obtaining high resolution heat transfer maps with good accuracy.     

Investigation of a novel Couette flow with cylindrical baffles

The high-precision measure instrument for flow velocity is essential for industrial applications because the high-precision velocity can well reflect the physical characteristic of the flow. A restricted laminar Couette flow with cylindrical baffles, using a synthetic heat conduction liquid, was designed to obtain a steady vortex flow and wider work scope, according to Couette flow and Suspension flow characteristics. The heat transfer mechanism was investigated with a laminar flow model by the Fourier law. The research indicates that the heat transfer enhancement is related to the Temperature Boundary Layer (TBL). The TBL is affected by the Velocity Boundary Layer (VBL). The TBL thickness and Nusselt number (Nu) have a dependent relationship. The Reynolds number (Re) and the gap between the baffle and plate wall (Δh/h) can further affect Nu. The vortex flow generated by Couette flow can significantly enhance the heat transfer performance by a double spiral structure, which can rapidly mix heat fluxes and make the temperature converge to uniform. There is a sensitive and stable relationship between flow velocity and heat transfer. Notably, it is linear when Δh/h or Re is small, which can be used to design a high-precision thermal flow velocity meter.

Unsteady computation of flow field and convective heat transfer over tandem cylinders at subcritical Reynolds numbers

Unsteady flow and convective heat transfer over single and two tandem cylinders at constant-heat-flux condition in subcritical range of Reynolds number was numerically investigated. Two-dimensional computations were performed by adopting 3-equation k-kl-ω turbulence model using a commercial software FLUENT®. The aim was to investigate the capabilities of k-kl-ω turbulence model for collective flow and heat transport conditions past cylindrical bodies and then to identify a critical spacing ratio for the maximum heat transport. The center-to-center spacing ratio (L/D) was varied in the range from 1.2 to 4.0. Instantaneous path lines and vorticity contours were generated to interpret the interaction of shear layer and vortices from upstream cylinder with the downstream cylinder. Comparison of pressure coefficients, fluctuating and average lift as well as drag coefficients, Strouhal number and the local and average Nusselt numbers with the available literatures indicated a reasonably good agreement. The combined outcome of flow field and heat transfer study revealed a critical spacing ratio of L/D = 2.2. Based on the present investigation, a correlation has been suggested to calculate overall average Nusselt number of the two cylinders placed in tandem.
