Influence of the Impact Angle and the Gravity Direction on Heat Transfer during the Cooling of a Cylinder by a Free Planar Subcooled Impinging Jet

Abstract:

Cooling from impinging jet is nearly compulsory in steel industry processing especially in Run Out Table processing and steel tubes production because of the high heat transfer rates provided by the boiling of the subcooled water jet. As far as metallurgical phase transformations, residual stresses and deformations in the workpiece are concerned, the temperature drop during cooling must be perfectly controlled thanks to a fully understanding of the heat transfer mechanisms. In a previous study [1] the effect of surface to jet velocity ratio on heat transfer has been characterized and it has been shown that this parameter has a significant influence on shoulder of flux collapse. In order to understand the effect of more industrial quench process parameters, an innovative experimental quenching device has been designed and built. It allowed us to make heat transfer measurements at the surface of a hot nickel cylinder impinged by a subcooled water jet, according to several angles of impact and three jet directions against gravity. The results clearly highlight an effect of these two parameters on the heat transfer mechanisms at the surface of the tube. These results allow a better understanding of the origins of temperature heterogeneities inside the tube during the quench.
