Abstract

Numerical simulations have been conducted to investigate the effects of pin-fin arrangement and jet Reynolds number on heat transfer enhancement and flow characteristics of a concave confined jet impingement cooled surface conjugated with pin-fins. The results without a pin-fin are used as a baseline. Vortices and different sections of streamlines in the channel are employed to understand the flow structures in this cooling system. Based on this, topology pictures are obtained with skin-friction lines to discuss the fluid flow near the target and pin-fin surface. The local and averaged heat transfer characteristics are analyzed using the flow characteristics. The overall parameters (friction factor, thermal performance, pumping power)... (More)

Numerical simulations have been conducted to investigate the effects of pin-fin arrangement and jet Reynolds number on heat transfer enhancement and flow characteristics of a concave confined jet impingement cooled surface conjugated with pin-fins. The results without a pin-fin are used as a baseline. Vortices and different sections of streamlines in the channel are employed to understand the flow structures in this cooling system. Based on this, topology pictures are obtained with skin-friction lines to discuss the fluid flow near the target and pin-fin surface. The local and averaged heat transfer characteristics are analyzed using the flow characteristics. The overall parameters (friction factor, thermal performance, pumping power) are also obtained. The results show that the appearance of the pin-fin plays a positive role in heat transfer enhancement and uniformity. The case of a 35° pin-fin arrangement angle reaches the highest overall Nusselt number and heat transfer uniformity. The far away movement of the pin-fin is beneficial to decrease pumping power at a constant heat transfer. The thermal performance is highest for 55° pin-fin arrangement angle at a jet Reynolds number of 40,000 in this work.
