Abstract
Recent work, Van Treuren et al. (1993), has shown the transient method of measuring heat transfer under an array of impinging jets allows the determination of local values of adiabatic wall temperature and heat transfer coefficient over the complete surface of the target plate. Using this technique, an inline array of impinging jets has been tested over a range of average jet Reynolds numbers (10,000–40,000) and for three channel height to jet hole diameter ratios (1, 2, and 4). The array is confined on three sides and spent flow is allowed to exit in one direction. Local values are averaged and compared with previously published data in related geometries. The current data for a staggered array is compared to those from an inline array with the same hole diameter and pitch for an average jet Reynolds number of 10,000 and channel height to diameter ratio of one. A comparison is made between intensity and hue techniques for measuring stagnation point and local distributions of heat transfer. The influence of the temperature of the impingement plate through which the coolant gas flows on the target plate heat transfer has been quantified.
