Özet

Effects of jet inlet geometry and aspect ratio on local and average heat transfer characteristics of totally nine confined impinging jets have been investigated experimentally using thermochromic liquid crystals and numerically by using a 3-D low Reynolds number k-epsilon model. Experimental study by using liquid crystals for temperature measurement was conducted for three different jet exit geometries (circular, elliptic, rectangular). In addition, simulations were performed at the same mass flow rate for totally nine jet exit geometries including circular, elliptic and rectangular jets with different aspect ratios for dimensionless jet to plate distances 2, 6, and 12.
