Arrays of Impinging Jets With Spent Fluid Removal Through Vent Holes on the Target Surface, Part 2: Local Heat Transfer

Abstract

An extensive study was conducted to determine the heat transfer characteristics of arrays of turbulent air jets impinging on perforated target surfaces. Spent air was withdrawn through vent holes on the surface, rather than along one or more of its edges, as had been done in all previous investigations. An earlier publication presented average heat transfer data for such systems; this paper gives results of comprehensive measurements of local heat transfer. Also given are the results of flow visualization studies, and an approximate mathematical model which predicts distributions of local heat transfer which agree satisfactorily with test data.
