Flow and heat transfer in rotating smooth and ribbed multi-channel double-wall structure with multiple-jet impingement cooling

Abstract

In this study, the heat transfer of multiple-jet impingement in rotating smooth and ribbed multichannel double-wall cooling structure with film extraction are investigated. The dimensionless jet-to-target spacing is 1, and the dimensionless jet-to-jet spacing is 3.55. In ribbed channel, the rib height is 1 mm and rib spacing is 8 mm. The experimental jet Reynolds number ranges from 2000 to 8000, and the maximum jet rotation number is 0.22. The test section contains five impingement channels. The local average convective heat transfer coefficient is measured by the “copper plate method”. The SST k-ω model is used to study the effect of rotation on the flow in channels. The results show that the heat transfer gap between high and low radius is more evident with an increase of the Roj. This is because the rotation effect increases and decreases the mass flow rate at high and low radius, respectively. Moreover, rotation can strengthen the impingement effect of the trailing side (TS) while weakening the effect of the leading side (LS) when the Roj is less than 0.06, Which causes differences in the heat transfer between the LS and TS of the impingement channel. Furthermore, affected by the ribs, the average heat transfer of ribbed target surface is improved. The area of high heat transfer region generated by impingement decreases, and an inverted butterfly-shaped high heat transfer region is generated near the film hole. Finally, the rib weakens the effect of rotation on the flow of target surface to some extent.
