Abstract
An experimental and numerical investigation was conducted to elucidate the flow and heat transfer characteristics of a row of impinging jets within a confined, rotating channel. The study focused on a jet Reynolds number (Rej) of 9,000, examining three distinct crossflow orientations: radially outward (ROCF), radially inward (RICF), and a combined radially outward and inward (ROICF) scheme. Jet-to-impingement surface distances (h/dj) of 2, 4, and 6 (where dj represents the jet orifice diameter) were considered, along with channel rotation speeds corresponding to Rotation numbers (Ro) from 0 to 0.0046. Heat transfer on the leading and trailing sides of the impinging jets was measured using a steady thermochromic liquid crystal (TLC) technique under constant heat flux conditions. Additionally, RANS simulations were employed to investigate the flow fields associated with the impinging jets. The results reveal that in both the ROCF and RICF schemes, heat transfer, characterized by the Nusselt number, decreases from upstream to downstream for each impinging jet. Increasing the rotation number (Ro) leads to enhanced heat transfer, with the trailing side exhibiting marginally higher values than the leading side. In the ROICF scheme, at h/dj = 2, a more uniform Nusselt number distribution is observed across all jet holes compared to the ROCF and RICF schemes, and this uniformity increases with higher Ro. However, for h/dj = 4 or 6, the heat transfer becomes non-uniform and can even deteriorate below the stationary case at high Ro numbers, attributed to the combined effects of Coriolis and centrifugal forces.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Thermal Sciences is a journal devoted to the publication of fundamental studies on the physics of transfer processes in general, with an emphasis on thermal aspects and also applied research on various processes, energy systems and the environment. Articles are published in English and French, and are subject to peer review.
The fundamental subjects considered within the scope of the journal are:
* Heat and relevant mass transfer at all scales (nano, micro and macro) and in all types of material (heterogeneous, composites, biological,...) and fluid flow
* Forced, natural or mixed convection in reactive or non-reactive media
* Single or multi–phase fluid flow with or without phase change
* Near–and far–field radiative heat transfer
* Combined modes of heat transfer in complex systems (for example, plasmas, biological, geological,...)
* Multiscale modelling
The applied research topics include:
* Heat exchangers, heat pipes, cooling processes
* Transport phenomena taking place in industrial processes (chemical, food and agricultural, metallurgical, space and aeronautical, automobile industries)
* Nano–and micro–technology for energy, space, biosystems and devices
* Heat transport analysis in advanced systems
* Impact of energy–related processes on environment, and emerging energy systems
The study of thermophysical properties of materials and fluids, thermal measurement techniques, inverse methods, and the developments of experimental methods are within the scope of the International Journal of Thermal Sciences which also covers the modelling, and numerical methods applied to thermal transfer.
