Abstract
This work includes numerical investigation of concentric jet impingement heat transfer to the concave surface of 30° apex angle conical surface. Heat transfer results are represented in terms of nondimensional heat transfer coefficient Nusselt number along the slant edge of the cone. Turbulence intensity, static pressure distribution along slant edge of the cone, and velocity contours in the domain are also presented for a detail understanding of the flow behavior. Different geometrical parameters like diameter of pipe (10 mm, 14 mm, and 20 mm) and L/D (4.25, 6.25, and 10.25) are considered for heat transfer analysis. Jet Reynolds number is varied between 25000 and 82000 for each diameter and L/D case. It is observed that Nusselt number value is minimum close to the apex of the cone due to stagnation region, then increases with increase in the distance from the apex of the cone and becomes maximum due to maxima in the turbulence intensity and decreases with increases in the distance. Nusselt number value decreases with increase in the L/D. Nusselt number increases with increase in the jet Reynolds number. There is an insignificant influence of the diameter of pipe on Nusselt number for identical jet Reynolds number and L/D.
