Jet impingement cooling has been utilized to improve the performance of solar energy technologies such as collectors, PV systems, PVT and CPV systems. This article provides an overview current systems using jet impingement. The distinctions between each study, research results system design, are examined contrasted. summary demonstrates that collectors most widely technology owing their direct ...

At a plunging jet, air entrainment may take place downstream of the impingement perimeter. This study investigates air entrainment and bubble dispersion at vertical circular plunging jets in freshwater, salty freshwater and seawater. The results show lesser air entrainment in seawater plunging jets for identical inflow conditions. The average pseudo-chord sizes are between 4 and 6 mm for all wa...

In this work discrete element modeling (DEM) was applied to the flow of granular jets against a target. The resulting sheetlike or conelike formations under different conditions are described and explained by means of kinetic analysis. A qualitative and quantitative comparison with experimental results [Cheng, Phys. Rev. Lett. 93, 188001 (2007)] provides interesting insights in the theoretical ...

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 ...

Examining the cooling rate using impingement of air jet finds a wide application in electronic packaging and micro-scale fluid heat interaction systems, While the prediction of Nusselt profile at low nozzle-target spacing is a big issue. The plot of area average Nusselt number magnitude against the nozzle-target spacing (Z/d) shows a gradual decrement in the profile upto Z/d = 1 and beyond that...

This paper briefly reviews recent work on gaseous plume impingement flows. As the major part of this paper, also included are new comprehensive studies on high-speed, collisionless, gaseous, circular jet impinging on a three-dimensional, inclined, diffuse or specular flat plate. Gaskinetic theories are adopted to study the problems, and several crucial geometry-location and velocity-direction r...
