A computational study is reported on flow and heat transfer from single row of circular air jets impinging on a concave surface with either one or two rows of effusion holes and without effusion holes. The effects of arrangement of jet orifices and effusion holes, spent air exit closure configurations, H/D ratio and jet Reynolds number are investigated. The pressure distribution is higher for the configuration with the air exit only through effusion holes. At higher Reynolds number, three peaks in local Nusselt number are identified and explained. Among the cases tested, the configuration with single row of inline effusion holes shows the least heat transfer and there is a significant local enhancement in heat transfer along the stagnation line for single row of staggered effusion holes. However, the effect of arrangement is negligible for two rows of effusion holes. Among the configuration tested the case of one edge open exit configuration with single row of staggered effusion holes (Case-C1s) shows higher heat transfer among others.
A computational study is reported on flow and heat transfer characteristics from five rows of circular air jets impinging on a concave surface with four rows of effusion holes. The effects of exit configurations of spent air and the arrangement of jet orifices and effusion holes for a jet Reynolds number of 7500 is investigated. In all, eight cases are studied and a good qualitative correlation is found among their flow patterns, pressure variations and heat transfer distributions
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
