Effects of Extended Jet Holes to Heat Transfer and Flow Characteristics of the Jet Impingement Cooling

Abstract

In this study, effects of extended jet holes to heat transfer and flow characteristics of jet impingement cooling were numerically investigated. Cross-flow in the impinging jet cooling adversely affects the heat transfer on the target surface. The main purpose of this study is to reduce the negative effect of cross-flow on heat transfer by extending jet holes toward the target surface with nozzles. This study has been conducted under turbulent flow condition (15,000 ≤ Re ≤ 45,000). The surface of the turbine blade, which is the target surface, has been modeled as a flat plate. The effect of the ribs, placed on the target surface, on the heat transfer has been also investigated, and the results were compared with the flat surface. The parameters such as average and local Nusselt numbers on the target surface, flow characteristics, and compressor power have been examined in detail. It was obtained from the numerical results that the average Nusselt number increases with decreasing the gap between the target surface and the nozzle. In addition, the higher average Nusselt number was obtained on the flat surface than the ribbed surface. The lowest compressor power was achieved in the 5Dj nozzle gap for the flat surface and in the 4Dj nozzle gap for the ribbed surface.

Evaluation of Vortex Generators in the Heat Transfer Improvement of Airflow through an In-Line Heated Tube Arrangement

“…Various researchers have carried out studies on the improvement of heat transfer using passive methods [1][2][3][4][5]. Li et al [6,7] numerically and experimentally studied the effect of using a vortex generator on increasing heat transfer in a finless heat exchanger.…”

Heat Transfer Augmentation through Different Jet Impingement Techniques: A State-of-the-Art Review

“…Tepe et al [58] performed a numerical study to investigate cooling performance by using extended jet holes to impinge turbines blade having the target surface as a flat plate with ribs. The Reynolds number (based on the jet diameter) range was from 15,000 to 45,000 during the study.…”

Numerical Analysis of the Effect of Surface Shape of Hot Plate Cooled by Double Impinging Jet on Heat Transfer

“…Bu durumun en önemli sebebi ise sıcak olan hedef akış yüzey alanının artması ile daha fazla sürtünme kuvvetinin ortaya çıkmasıdır. Nuort/PG oranının Re sayısı ile değişiminin farklı yüzey geometrisine göre dağılımı Şekil 7'da gösterilmiştir [14]. Re sayısının artmasıyla Nuort/PG oranının azaldığı açıkça görülmektedir ki bu durum Re sayısının artmasıyla artan Nuort sayısının artma oranının pompalama gücü artışından daha düşük kaldığının göstergesidir.…”
