Abstract

Circular impinging jet, which is widely used in accelerated control cooling (ACC) equipment to accelerate the cooling of hot rolled plates, is subject to breakup, and may result in undesirable cooling effect. Therefore, the jet breakup should be avoided as possible in industrial production. The objective of this study is to find the relation of the processing parameters of the ACC equipment versus the breakup length of jet with weaker turbulence. To obtain quantitative findings, not only relative experimental study but also numerical simulation was carried out. For a weaker turbulent water jet, the breakup length increases with the increase of jet diameter, as well as with the jet velocity; jet diameter has a significant effect on the breakup length for a certain flow rate when compared with jet velocity; finally a suggested correlation of the jet breakup length versus jet Weber number is presented in this study.
