Heat Transfer Enhancement of Impinging Row Jets in Cross-Flow with Mounting Baffles on Surface

Abstract:

The aim of this research is to enhance heat transfer on a surface of row of impinging jets in cross-flow by mounting some baffles on the surface. A row of 4 jets with inline arrangement discharging from round orifices impinged normally on inner surface of wind tunnel with simulated cross-flow. The orifice diameter (D) was 13.2 mm. The jet-to-surface distance and jet-to-jet distance were fixed at H=2D and S=3D, respectively. Four couples of baffles with V-shaped arrangement at attack angle, θ=30^o, were mounted on surface in upstream or downstream of impinging jets and the location of baffles attachment is L=1.5D apart from the jet impingement region. The velocity ratios (Jet velocity/cross-flow velocity) were varied from VR=3, 5 and 7 while the jet velocity was kept constant corresponding to Re=13,400. The experimental investigation was carried out for heat transfer characteristic by using Thermochromic Liquid Crystal sheet, and heat transfer coefficient distributions were evaluated using an image processing method. The results show that the impinging jets with mounting the baffles in the upstream region of jet impingement region can enhance the heat transfer rate throughout VR.
