Abstract
The aim of this research is to enhance the heat transfer on an impinged surface under an impinging jet array by minimizing a cross-flow effect. Conventional round orifices (aspect ratio, AR=1) are substituted by the elongated orifices with aspect ratio AR=4 and 8 with the same jet exit area. Two types of orifice arrangements; in-line and staggered arrays are compared. The experimental investigation was carried out at constant distance from orifice plate to impinged surface H=2DE (DE is equivalent diameter of orifice). The heat transfer characteristic was visualized using thermochromic liquid crystal sheet (TLCs) and the Nusselt number distribution was evaluated by an image processing technique. The flow characteristic on the impinged surface was also visualized by oil film technique. The results show that the cross-flow in a case of the jets issued from the orifices with AR=4 is considerably less significant than that in cases of the ones delivered from the orifices with AR=1 and 8. At Reynolds number of 13,400, the Nusselt numbers for the jet arrays issued from the elongated orifices with AR=4 with in-line and staggered arrangements are respectively 6.04% and 12.52% higher than those for the case of AR=1.
