This study experimentally investigates heat transfer enhancement of an impinging free liquid jet on a hot surface of copper plate with different shapes, by replacing the base fluid, distilled water with Al 2 O 3 nanofluid (10 nm), different shapes of heated surface of copper plate (Flat, Concave, Convex Wavedand Corrugated), different impingement Reynolds numbers ranging from (7,565 to nearly 18,460), five nanoparticles mass concentrations (0%, 0.2%, 0.5%, 1% and 2%) were studied using distilled water and AL 2 O 3 nanofluid jet impingement.The results of the current experiments show that increasing the volume flow rate of the cooling fluid improves the heat transfer between the free liquid jet and the hot copper plate.Moreover, using nanofluid jet enhances the heat transfer.Additionally, increasing the surface area enhances the heat transfer between the cooling fluid and the hot plate and decreases the cooling time.Finally, it was noted that surface shape, impingement Reynolds number and nanofluid concentration affect the heat transfer enhancement processsignificantly.The accumulative effect of using nanafluid jet 2% with corrugated surface with higher flow rate on Nusselt number can reach 185%. On the other hand, using a dispersant for the nanofluid as polyethylene glycol keeps the nanofluid suspension and prevents agglomeration, but reduces its heat transfer enhancement effect.
