Abstract

A novel porous multi-jet impingement cooling technology since the current conventional cooling technologies are insufficient for thermal engineering devices. This innovative numerical study explores the effect of various metal foam sizes (h/H), jet numbers (n) and wavy jet target plates (C) on the hydrothermal performance and thermodynamical performance at varying Reynolds numbers (Re). The novel results of multi-objective optimum design are a unique aspect of this work by combining the results of RSM with CFD, where low porosity (ε = 0.1), low applied heat flux (Q = 100 × 103 W/m2) and low location jet ratio (LRVin = 0.26) were achieved the aim of the optimum hydrothermal performance (NumP/NumS = 25-30 times and Tb Reduction% = 83.5%-89.5%) and the thermodynamical performance (EG Reduction% = 93%-96% and CoPCarnot = 2.3-6.5 times). Thus, a valuable procedure for the optimal design of the hydrothermal and thermodynamical performance for porous multi-jet impingement cooling is proposed.
