Investigating the effect of submerged impingement jet on heat transfer in water-alcohol mixtures

Abstract

This paper presents new results of experiments on spherical sample cooling with submerged impingement jet in subcooled water-alcohol mixtures. The influence of the ethanol concentration on the occurrence of intensive boiling regime is detected. Experiments are carried out on a stainless-steel sample in a water-ethanol mixture, in a wide range of concentrations and temperatures. The result includes an increase of the heat transfer intensity at exposure of the submerged impingement jet. The intensive boiling regime is detected with a higher ethanol content compared to experiments in a calm liquid.
