A Numerical Solution for the Heat Transfer between an Axi-Symmetric Air Jet and A Heated Plate,
Abstract
Due to their characteristic high rate of heat transfer, impinging air jets are being used extensively in industry. A numerical scheme is devised to predict the heat transfer between an axi-symmetric air jet and a heated plate, neglecting the effect of curvature, compressibility, and turbulence. The momentum and continuity equations are transformed to vorticity and stream function equations and are then solved by iterative successive substitution techniques to determine the flow field and subsequently the temperature distribution in the fluid. An attempt is made to predict the average heat transfer coefficient of a row of axi-symmetric air jets impinging on a heated plate by assuming that each jet cools a fraction of the plate without any interference from the neighboring jets.
