The Effect Of Confinement On The Development Of An Axisymmetric Wall Jet In Confined Jet Impingement, Tianqi Guo Apr 2016

The Effect Of Confinement On The Development Of An Axisymmetric Wall Jet In Confined Jet Impingement, Tianqi Guo

Open Access Theses

Impinging jets have been widely used in the industry for cooling, heating, drying and many other purposes due to their excellent level of mass and heat transfer capacities. When issued into a confinement gap fully filled with working liquid, which is a typical configuration for the compact cooling devices designed to handle the extremely high heat fluxes generated by continuously working electronic components, they are classified as submerged confined impingement jets. Though the complicated flow field induced by the jet has attracted enormous amount of research efforts from heat transfer as well as fluid dynamics points of view, many key …


Flow And Heat Transfer In An L-Shaped Cooling Passage With Ribs And Pin Fins For The Trailing Edge Of A Gas-Turbine Vane And Blade, Irsha Ashok Pardeshi Jan 2013

Flow And Heat Transfer In An L-Shaped Cooling Passage With Ribs And Pin Fins For The Trailing Edge Of A Gas-Turbine Vane And Blade, Irsha Ashok Pardeshi

Open Access Theses

Efficient and effective cooling of the trailing edges of gas-turbine vanes and blades is challenging because there is very little space to work with. In this study, CFD simulations based on steady RANS closed by the shear-stress transport turbulence model were performed to study the flow and heat transfer in an L-shaped duct for the trailing edge under two operating conditions. One operating condition, referred to as the laboratory condition, where experimental measurements were made, has a Reynolds number at the duct inlet of ReD = 15,000, coolant inlet temperature of Tinlet = 300 K, wall temperature of …
