Heat Transfer Enhancement with Multi-Internal Impinging Jets
Abstract
The present work investigates numerically in two-dimensions the use of multi-internal impinging jets as one of the heat transfer enhancement tools. A numerical model using the lattice Boltzmann method is developed to study the effect of different parameters on the fluid flow structure and the rate of heat transfer from a hot plate kept at a constant high temperature. These parameters include the effect of the variation of the height of the impinging jets from the hot plate, the effect of the variation of the Reynolds number, and the effect of the number of the impinging jets (i.e. the effect of the distance between the jets). The effect of these parameters on the friction coefficient, pressure drop, and the Nusselt number is presented and discussed. Finally, the findings are concluded and some recommendations and suggestions are given to extend this work.
