Thermal loading o f diesel engine pistons has increased dramatically in recent years due to applications of various technologies to meet low emission and high power requirements. Control of piston temperatures by cooling of these pistons has become one of the determining factors in a successful engine design. The pistons are cooled by oil jets fired at the underside from the crankcase. Any unde...

Effective cooling of electronic equipment has emerged as a challenging and constraining problem of the new century. In the present work the feasibility and effectiveness of jet impingement cooling on electronics were investigated numerically and experimentally. Studies have been conducted to see the effect of the geometrical parameters such as jet diameter (D), jet to target spacing (Z) and rat...

The initial aim of this study was to compare OpenFoam and Ansys Fluent in order to verify OpenFoam’s Lagrangian Library and erosion capabilities. However, it was found that previous versions of Fluent have been providing wrong results for the discrete phase and the differences with the latest version (Ansys Fluent 15) are shown. A Submerged Jet Impingement Test is an effective method for studyi...

conclusions in 88% of primary osteoarthritis cases we found fai morphology on the ap pelvic radiograph, similarly to those found in the bibliography, and we considered naming primary osteoarthritis, secondary osteoarthritis caused by fai. in the majority of cases, early diagnosis with simple, cheap and easily accessible ap pelvic radiograph with low dose of radiation may also be warranted backg...

heating and sudden cooling are among the most important processes affecting temper quality in the production period of tempered auto glass. in this study, heat transfer characteristics and cooling times during the sudden cooling process of tempered glass production have been experimentally investigated. flat glass with dimensions of 50x50x4 mm has been heated up to 680 ºc in the furnace and was...

Experiments were performed to investigate the two-phase cooling characteristics of a new hybrid cooling scheme combining the cooling attributes of slot jets and micro-channel flow. A test module was constructed in which dielectric PF-5052 liquid was introduced through five 0.48 mm wide and 12.7 mm long slot jets, each leading to a 1.59 mm wide and 1.02 mm deep channel. Increases in flow rate an...

Dynamic mesh methods and user defined functions are adopted and the shear stress transport k-ω turbulent model has been used in the numerical investigation of heat transfer performance of synthetic jet impingement onto dimple/protrusioned surface. The results show that the local time-averaged Nusselt number of the dimpled/protrusioned target surface tends to be much closer with that of flat cas...

The flow field of a radial wall jet created by the impingement of a round synthetic jet normal to a flat surface was characterized using hot-wire anemometry. In the synthetic wall jets the width of the outer layer was observed to increase linearly with the radial distance along the wall, while the local maximum velocity varied inversely. The synthetic wall jet exhibits self-similar behavior as ...

This paper explores the subcooled nucleate boiling and critical heat flux (CHF) characteristics of a hybrid cooling module that combines the cooling attributes of micro-channel flow and jet impingement. A test module was constructed and tested using HFE-7100 as working fluid. Increasing the coolant’s flow rate and/or subcooling shifted both the onset of boiling (ONB) and CHF to higher heat flux...

An experimental study is presented for water droplet impingement on a liquid surface. The impaction process was recorded using a high-speed digital camera at 1,000 frames/s. The initial droplet diameter was fixed at 3.1 mm ± 0.1 mm, and all experiments were performed in atmospheric air. The impact velocity was varied from 0.36 m/s to 2.2 m/s thus varying the impact Weber number from 5.5 to 206....
