Abstract
A series of tests were performed for the pulsating jet impingement heat transfer by varying the Reynolds number (5000 ≤ Re ≤ 20,000), operation frequency (10 Hz ≤ f ≤ 25 Hz), and dimensionless nozzle-to-surface distance (1≤H/d≤8) while fixing the duty cycle (DC) = 0.5(280 measurement data in total). Specific attention was paid to examine the relationship between the pulsating jet impingement and the steady jet impingement. By using a modified Strouhal number (Sr(H/d)), the test data are analyzed according to three classifications of the enhancement factors a = Nupulsation jet/Nusteady jet (such as a ∈ (Min,0.899), a ∈ (0.95, 1.049) and a ∈ (1.1, Max)). The results show that the identification of pulsating jet impingement in related to the steady jet impingement is suitable by using the modified Strouhal number (Sr(H/d)). Within the scope of this study, the most possibilities for the heat transfer enhancement by using pulsating jet impingement are suggested as the following conditions: Re ≤ 7500 and Sr(H/d) ≥ 0.04, Re ≥ 17500, and 0.01 ≤ Sr(H/d) ≤ 0.03; 10 Hz ≤ f ≤ 20 Hz and Sr(H/d) ≥ 0.04; H/d ≥ 6 and most of current Sr(H/d). While under such conditions, 7500 ≤ Re ≤ 15,000 and Sr(H/d) ≤ 0.02; f ≥ 20 Hz and Sr(H/d) ≤ 0.04; H/d ≤ 2 and Sr(H/d) ≤ 0.02, the pulsating jet impingement makes the heat transfer weaker than the steady jet impingement more obviously.
