Heat Transfer of an Impinging Jet on a Plane Surface

Abstract—A cold, thin film of liquid impinging on an isothermal hot, horizontal surface has been investigated. An approximate solution for the velocity and temperature distributions in the flow along the horizontal surface is developed, which exploits the hydrodynamic similarity solution for thin film flow. The approximate solution may provide a valuable basis for assessing flow and heat transf...

Open Jet Testing for Buoyant and Hybrid Buoyant Aerial Vehicles

Open jet testing is a valuable testing technique which provides the desired results with reasonable accuracy. It has been used in past for the airships and now has recently been applied for the hybrid ones, having more non-buoyant force coming from the wings, empennage and the fuselage. In the present review work, an effort has been done to review the challenges involved in open jet testing. In...

Leaving on a plane jet

This is a continuation of our research on the Universal Planar Manipulator (UPM), a device capable of manipulating multiple generic objects (cans, chess pieces, poker chips, tools, etc.) with a single horizontally-vibrating, rigid plate (3 dofs). Objects are propelled by sliding frictional forces developed against the vibrating plate. A special plate vibration creates an average force field cal...
