B. Elison et Bw. Webb, LOCAL HEAT-TRANSFER TO IMPINGING LIQUID JETS IN THE INITIALLY LAMINAR, TRANSITIONAL, AND TURBULENT REGIMES, International journal of heat and mass transfer, 37(8), 1994, pp. 1207-1216
Transport from small diameter, fully-developed liquid jets impinging n
ormally on a constant heat flux surface has been investigated. This st
udy focuses on jet Reynolds numbers spanning the laminar, transitional
, and turbulent flow regimes at the nozzle exit, 300 less-than-or-equa
l-to Re less-than-or-equal-to 7000. Jet diameters studied include 0.58
4, 0.315, and 0.246 mm. Both free-surface and submerged jets were stud
ied. Local heat transfer coefficient information was collected, and th
e radial variation of the Nusselt number is explored. Correlations of
stagnation Nusselt number as a function of Reynolds number for laminar
and turbulent data are presented. The Nusselt number was observed to
correlate approximately with Re0.5 and Re.0.8 for initially turbulent
and laminar jets, respectively. This dependence was observed for both
free-surface and submerged jet configurations. The Re0.8 dependence of
the Nusselt number in the laminar regime for free-surface jets is att
ributed to surface tension-induced jet broadening at the jet exit. For
the submerged jet the Nu(o) is similar to Re0.8 laminar regime functi
onality is explained by the dominating effects of jet destabilization.
The free-surface configuration heat transfer data showed little depen
dence on nozzle-plate spacing. By contrast, the submerged jet data exh
ibit the usual potential core behavior for turbulent flow with its wel
l-established dependence on nozzle-to-plate spacing. The Nusselt numbe
r was seen to be independent of nozzle-to-plate spacing in the initial
ly laminar jet regime.
