Measurement Of Low-Speed Impinging Jet Structure Using Temperature Sensitive Paint, Arthur Dean Woodworth Dec 2022

Measurement Of Low-Speed Impinging Jet Structure Using Temperature Sensitive Paint, Arthur Dean Woodworth

Masters Theses

Temperature sensitive paint (TSP) is used to analyze surface flow structures driven by a jet impinging on a heated steel sheet. Temperature and Nusselt number images are calculated from CCD images of the TSP surface. TSP calibration is discussed. Skin friction data is obtained from the temperature images.

Data is collected for metal and 3D-printed plastic nozzles of varying shape and size at one or two jet airspeeds depending on the nozzle. For the circular nozzles, data is collected for four Reynolds numbers at impinging angles of 90, 70, and 50 degrees. For the elliptical nozzles and the star-shaped nozzle, …
