Enhancement of heat transfer

چکیده
Recent technological developments have lead to significant increase in the generated heat by electronic and optical components. The removal of high heat fluxes can be successfully treated by several methods, e.g. impinging jets. Further improvement is offered by incorporating arrays of jets or causing jets to pulsate. The research reported herein introduces a new method which is based on actuation of a slab against a two dimensional steady, impinging, laminar, liquid micro-jet. This leads to enhanced heat transfer in the wall region of the jet. An experimental setup which included a piezoelectric (PZT) actuator, a dedicated silicon chip and a steady, slot, impinging jet, was assembled. Using a high speed infrared (IR) radiometer, the cooling process of the chip was recorded and the heat transfer enhancement values were determined for normalized actuation amplitudes, Reynolds and Strouhal numbers in the ranges of 0.45 < d < 0.75, 756 < Re < 1260 and 0 < St < 0.052, respectively. It was experimentally found that heat transfer coefficients were enhanced by up to 34%. Ó 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A square splittered and unsplittered rod is placed in a turbulent boundary layer developed over a flat plate. The effect of the resulting disturbances on the local heat transfer coefficient is then studied. In both cases the square rod modifies the flow structure inside the boundary layer. As a result, a stagnation point, a jet and wake area are generated around the square rod, each making a co...
