Direct cooling by means of jets and sprays has been considered a solution to the problem of cooling high power density electronic devices. Although both methods are capable of very high heat removal rates it is necessary to be able to decide which one is more convenient than the other when designing a cooling system for electronic applications. In this work the results of an investigation of th...

Impinging jets have received considerable attention during the last decade. The reason is mainly due to their inherent characteristics of high rates of heat transfer besides having simple geometry. Thus most practical applications of jet impingement occur in industries where the heat transfer requirements have exceeded capacity of ordinary heating and cooling techniques. This work presents and ...

Turbulences in liquids caused by jets can be of interest for numerous applications. For one, it concerns flood spillway structures within civil engineering but also is key in any area where turbulent mixing is present. The numerical simulations of jets that impinge into plunge pools are still in an early phase of their development. This paper verifies the accuracy of the Flow-3D software packag...

Due to the ever wider use of composite materials within aerospace applications, fireproof tests get recently an increased attention. Numerical simulation is expected in the coming years to accompany engineers in their design work to increase the chance of success in the fireproof certification tests. The current research focuses on the numerical investigation of a premixed methane-air flame imp...

Different approaches to model the cleaning of (i) very thin and (ii) soil layers by impinging water jets are compared evaluate their predictive capabilities. Cleaning experiments were performed with coherent 2 mm 3 diameter (Re > 10,000) on flat an insoluble, viscoplastic petroleum jelly. The jelly exhibited creep below yield stress Herschel-Bulkley behaviour above it. A two-film shear-driven f...

The aim of this paper is to study the local Nusselt number of the symmetrical liquid-liquid jets emitting from a nozzle. Equations obtained from theoretical works are arranged in the form of a computerized model. The validity of this model was tested by the data from an experimental paper [1]. After few adjustments the model predicted the experimental data with a reasonable accuracy. Making...
