Heat Transfer Characteristics of an Inclined Impinging Jet on a Curved Surface in Crossflow

Abstract

This study reports on heat transfer characteristics on a curved surface subject to an inclined circular impinging jet whose impinging angle varies from a normal position 9 = 0 deg to 9 = 45 deg at a fixed jet Reynolds number of Rej = 20,000. Three curved surfaces having a diameter ratio (DIDfl of 5.0, 10.0, and infinity (i.e., a flat plate) were selected, each positioned systematically inside and outside the potential core of jet flow where Dt is the circular jet diameter. Present results clarify similar and dissimilar local heat transfer characteristics on a target surface due to the convexity. The role of the potential core is identified to cause the transitional response of the stagnation heat trans fer to the inclination of the circular jet. The inclination and convexity are demonstrated to thicken the boundary layer, reducing the local heat transfer (second peaks) as opposed to the enhanced local heat transfer on a flat plate resulting from the increased local Reynolds number.

Heat Transfer Characteristics of a Hot‐Rolled Seamless Steel Tube During a Controlled Cooling Process

“…Studies have shown that the curvature of a cylinder affects the thickness and velocity field of a liquid film, thereby affecting heat transfer. Wang et al [20][21][22] studied the surface heat transfer characteristics of a single jet and multiple jets impinging on a cylinder with a constant heat flux density, and they analyzed the changes in the local Nusselt number caused by the transition from laminar flow to turbulent flow.…”

“…Researchers has conducted several studies on composite cooling technique since the 1980s. Wang achieved many success on researching compound cooling technique [7,8]. Yang [9] investigated the composite cooling behavior of the impinging jet in the solidification section.…”
