In the present work, effects of spray characteristics (droplet size and velocity) on the temperature variation of a heated porous plate (Melamine foam) have been investigated through a series of experiments. Based on the measured data, time required to cool down the hot porous material turned out to be shorten by doing with the smaller droplet size and/or smaller impinging velocity. In particular, the droplet size effect is more prominent than the impinging velocity. The cooling performance in the porous material is directly proportional to the penetration velocity.

The air flow and heat transfer characteristics of an air jet impinging on a pedestal heat source has been investigated numerically to examine the effects of geometric parameters such as nozzle-to-pedestal spacing, nozzle diameter and pedestal size. Also, the parameters of Reynolds number, air jet power, supplied heat and thermal conductivity of pedestal have been studied to reveal how these affect the average Nusselt number. Hence, a two-dimensional turbulent model has been developed and adopted to simulate the fluid flow and heat transfer phenomena numerically. The results obtained from the model show that the nozzle-to-pedestal spacing, relative size of nozzle to pedestal and Reynolds number of air jet have a significant influence on the cooling characteristics of heated pedestal. Furthermore, some useful guidelines could be given to the application of cooling the heated pedestal.

In the present study, effects of degree of confinement on heat transfer characteristics of a micro-scale slot jet impinging on a heated flat plate are experimentally investigated. The effects of Reynolds numbers (Re = $1000{\sim}5000$), lateral distances (x/B = $1{\sim}10$), nozzle-to-plate spacings (Z/B = $1{\sim}20$), and degree of confinement ($B_c$/B = 3, 48) on the Nusselt number are considered. The results show that the effects of the degree of confinement on the cooling performance of the micro-scale impinging slot jet are significant at lower nozzle-to-plate spacings and higher Reynolds numbers. In addition, it is shown that the cooling performance of the micro-scale unconfined slot impinging jet is 200% higher than that of the micro-scale confined slot impinging jet.

Jet impingement on a moving plate, which is applicable to cooling of hot metals in a steel-making process, is investigated numerically by solving the Navier-Stokes equations in the liquid and gas phases. The liquid-gas interface or free surface is tracked by a level-set method which is improved by incorporating the ghost fluid approach based on a sharp-interface representation. The computations are made for multiple jets as well as a single jet to compare their flow characteristics. Also, the effects of the nozzle pitch, moving velocity of plate and jet velocity on the interfacial motion and the associated flow and temperature fields.

Numerical and visualization procedures are used in a finite difference grid to analyze and better understand the heat transfer in the MEMS based air micro-jet array (MIA) impingement cooling device. The Navier-Stokes (NS) equations with incompressible flow are solved using an implicit procedure. The temperature contour and velocity vector visualization diagrams are used for illustration. The computed temperature distribution at the bottom of the MIA is in good agreement with the experimental measurement data. The parameters are investigated to improve the efficiency of heat transfer in the MIA. The optimum configuration of the MIA is suggested. The present modeling explains the flow phenomenon and yields valuable information to understand the flow and heat transfer in MIA.

For stable combustion and safety of a structure of the propulsion system, a cooling system to the liquid rocket engine should be incorporated. In this study, Eulerian-Lagrangian scheme for two phase combustion, nongray radiation and soot formation effect, and film-wall interaction have been introduced to study the effect of film cooling. After briefly introducing the governing equation, combustion characteristics with change of wall temperature has been investigated by varying such parameters as fuel mass fraction for film cooling, diameter of the fuel droplet, overall mixture fraction of oxygen to fuel. Also, radiative heat flux is compared with the conductive one at the combustor wall.

Conjugate heat transfer analysis was performed to investigate the flow and cooling performance of the high pressure turbine nozzle of gas turbine engine. The CHT code was verified by comparison between CFD results and experimental results of C3X vane. The combination of k-${\omega}$ based SST turbulence model and transition model was used to solve the flow and thermal field of the fluid zone and the material property of CMSX-4 was applied to the solid zone. The turbine nozzle has two internal cooling channels and each channel has a complex cooling configurations, such as the film cooling, jet impingement, pedestal and rib turbulator. The parabolic temperature profile was given to the inlet condition of the nozzle to simulate the combustor exit condition. The flow characteristics were analyzed by comparing with uncooled nozzle vane. The Mach number around the vane increased due to the increase of coolant mass flow flowed in the main flow passage. The maximum cooling effectiveness (91 %) at the vane surface is located in the middle of pressure side which is effected by the film cooling and the rib turbulrator. The region of the minimum cooling effectiveness (44.8 %) was positioned at the leading edge. And the results show that the TBC layer increases the average cooling effectiveness up to 18 %.

The stable deposition of impinging droplets on non-wetting substrates is of great importance for numerous industrial and scientific applications such as coating techniques, inkjet printing, spray cooling of heated surfaces. In this work, we systematically investigate impinging behaviors of non-Newtonian and viscous droplets ejected by electrohydrodynamic atomization.

EU-APR1400, the Korean nuclear reactor design for European market adopts a so-called core catcher for ex-vessel molten corium retention and cooling as a severe-accident mitigation system. Sacrificial material, which controls melt properties and modifies melt conditions favorable for corium cooling and retention, is usually employed to protect core catcher body from molten corium. Since molten corium can be ejected through a breach of a reactor pressure vessel and impinged on the sacrificial material with enhanced heat transfer at a severe accident, it is very important to predict ablation rate of sacrificial material due to corium jet impingement accurately for core catcher design. In this paper, sacrificial-material ablation model based on boundary layer theory is suggested and compared with the experimental results by KAERI.

An experimental study of impinging jet-flow structure has been carried out for a fully developed single circular jet impingement cooling on a flat plate, and the effect of the wall thickness at nozzle exit edge is investigated. Impinging jet flow structures have been measured by Laser-Doppler Velocimeter to interpret the heat transfer results presented previously by Yoon et al.(sup)(10) The peaks of heat transfer rate are observed near the nozzle edge owing to the radial acceleration of jet flow when the nozzle locates close to the impingement plate. The growth of the velocity fluctuations in the wall jet flow is induced by the vortices which originate in the jet shear layer, and consequently the radial distribution of local Nusselt numbers has a secondary peak at the certain radial position. As a wall of circular pipe nozzle becomes thicker for small nozzle-to-target distance, the entrainment can be inhibited, consequently, the acceleration of wall jet flow is reduced and the heat transfer rate decreases.
