Abstract
Abstract
Spray quenching (or jet impingement) is the most common technique employed to improve the uniformity of heat removal and break the vapor layer, allowing for a high cooling rate to be achieved. This article presents the heat transfer characteristics of quenching a hot surface, which can be expressed by the boiling and quench curve. It discusses three major spray parameters that have a substantial role in the quantification of spray cooling performance: droplet size, droplet velocity, and volumetric flux. The article also presents the available models and correlations to predict the cooling rate in spray quenching of hot surfaces during different boiling phases. It then discusses the effect of surface roughness on spray cooling performance.
