1 Introduction

Impinging jets have been used in several industrial processesfor example for cooling of steel glass electronic componentsand gas turbine vanes for drying of paper film and textilesand for freezing food and tissue in cryosurgery because thehigh heat and mass transfer coefficients can be obtainedaround a jet stagnation region and the heat transfer charac-teristics can be easily controlled In the meantime Deo et al[1] have examined characteristics of turbulent jets issuingfrom rectangular nozzles with and without two parallel platesattached as sidewalls to the slotrsquos short sides They reportedthat the potential core of the jet without sidewalls wasshorter than that with sidewalls and the centerline turbulenceintensity of the jet with sidewalls became asymptotical closerto the nozzle exit than that of the jet without sidewalls Theresults suggest that a characteristic of impinging jet heattransfer on a target plate with sidewalls is different from thatwithout sidewalls

By theway jets often impinge onto a target bodymountedin confined spaces for manufacturing processes of frozenfood and heat treatment of electronic components and so

forth San et al [2] and Lin et al [3] have studied heat transferon a surface for mounting an end plate flush with a jet exitGao and Ewing [4] have examined static and fluctuatingwall pressure and heat transfer on a surface for unconfinedjets and confined jets with an end plate They found thatthe location of the decrease in the heat transfer and thefluctuating wall pressure in the confined jets shifted laterallyoutward as a nozzle-to-plate distance increased Fitzgeraldand Garimella [5] have studied characteristics of the flowfield of an axisymmetric confined and submerged turbulentjet impinging normally on a flat plate experimentally Theymapped the toroidal recirculation pattern in the outflowregion characteristic of confined jets with an end plateFenot et al [6] have showed the independence of heattransfer coefficients and effectiveness from a jet injectiontemperature for confined and unconfined jets The resultsshowed that the influence of confinement was weak but ithad a great impact on effectiveness More recently San andShiao [7] have examined the effects of jet plate size andplate spacing for mounting removable bars between an endplate mounted flush with a jet exit and a target plate on theheat transfer characteristics for a confined circular air jet

vertically impinging on a flat plate They showed the effectsof the jet plate width-to-jet diameter ratio on the stagnationNusselt number In addition San et al [8] have also studiedimpingement heat transfer of staggered arrays of air jetsconfined with an end plate and the removable bars

Yet up to date there have been few investigations con-cerning heat transfer of a rectangular impinging jet confinedwith an end plate target plate and two confining platesmounted in parallel with long sides of the rectangular nozzleexitThe objective of this work is to examine the flowfield andheat transfer influenced by two parallel plates mounted neara rectangular nozzle exit Measurements of the heat transferand fluctuating pressure on a target plate were performedfor the impinging jet with nozzle-to-target plate distancesand with confining plate-to-plate distances Flow field for theimpinging jet was qualitatively visualized using a smoke-wiremethod and smoke method The experimental facilities usedin this study are presented in the next section The resultsof experiments are then presented and discussed Finally theconclusions obtained here are presented

2 Experimental Apparatus and Procedure

Figure 1 shows schematic illustration of experimental setupand the coordinate system The facility used to produce ajet consisted of a blower a cooler for maintaining the airtemperature within 2∘C of an ambient temperature an orificeflow meter pipes made from polyvinyl chloride some noiseabsorbing ducts and a contraction A honeycomb of length80mm with hexagon cells of 4mm and wire meshes wereinstalled in the connection part of the ducts for rectificationThe nozzle contraction had an area ratio of about 133 1 andemploys a smooth contraction profile based on sine curveand following the curve had parallel section with the lengthof 10mm connecting to the exit to enhance flow uniformityA rectangular nozzle exit contracted had a cross-section area

with the length of 200mm and the width ℎ of 15mm whoseoutlet rimwas arranged flushmountwith an end plateThe jetissuing horizontally through the exit impinged onto a targetplate perpendicularly mounted in the middle plane of thejet The nozzle-to-target plate spacing 119867 was set equal to119867ℎ = 2 3 4 and 5 where those places corresponded to apotential core region of the free jet used in the present studyTwo parallel confining plates having the length of 200mmwhose length andwidth were equal to the length of the nozzleexit and the 119867 value respectively were mounted betweenthe end plate and the target plate for each position 119867 Thespacing between the two confining plates mounted in parallelwith the long sides of the exit 119882 was set equal to 119882ℎ =27 33 4 53 and 67 for 119867ℎ = 2 3 and 4 and to 27 334 53 67 and 8 for 119867ℎ = 5 only The intersection betweenthe geometric jet central axis and a target plate was defined asthe origin of coordinate and the 119911 axis was taken across thelength of the jet exit from the origin

For the measurements of pressure and heat transfer onthe target plate the jet exit velocity obtained from flow ratedivided by the cross-section area of the nozzle exit was setat 10ms resulting in a Reynolds number Re based on thenozzle width ℎ and kinematic viscosity ] of about 9500For only flow visualization using a smoke-wire method thevelocity was set at 5ms to obtain good quality pictures ofthe flow field The adjustment of the flow rate was carriedout by changing the rotational frequency of the blower withan inverter The flow rate was almost constant without theadjustment of its rotational frequency in all cases even if theconfining plate-to-plate spacing and the nozzle exit-to-targetplate distance changed

The target plate for the measurements of fluctuatingpressure on the surface consisted of three pieces as shownin Figure 2 The middle sliding plate was manually traversedalong the 119911 direction within the region minus8 le 119911ℎ le 8 A smallpressure hole with 05mm in diameter and 5mm in depth

was drilled from the front surface at its geometrical centerand a differential pressure transducer used in measurementof the pressure was screwed into a blind hole drilled intothe wall to the small hole The transducer output signalwas amplified using a strain amplifier module The voltagesignals from the amplifier were recorded onto a data loggerin 30000 data points at a frequency of 5000Hz Timeaveraged mean pressure and root mean square values of thefluctuating pressure were calculated from the data recordedwith a personal computer The pressure on the target platewas measured at 5mm interval by traversing the sliding platewithin the region minus8 le 119911ℎ le 8

The smoke wire method was used for the visualizationof confined flow field The smoke wire was consisted oftwo nichrome wires with 50 120583m in diameter which wereuniformly twisted together It was individually placed at thecenter of the nozzle exit and a little downstream along the 119910axis It was coated by paraffin oil before each test and heatedby impulse direct current Pictures of the resultant whitestreak lines were taken using digital camera and stroboscopelight Additional flow visualization was conducted oil mistgenerated froma smoke generatorwas absorbed to the blowerand the oil mist gushed out of the nozzle was observed witha video camera

For the measurements of local heat transfer three stain-less steel strips 20120583m thick 8mm wide and 260mm longwere glued in parallel with each other along the 119911-directionThese strips were electrically connected in series and wereheated by passing alternating electric current Distributionof the heated surface temperature was measured with 49thermocouples allocated to contact with the back surface ofthe central strip at 5mm interval so as to cover the regionfrom 119911ℎ = minus8 to 119911ℎ = 8 Heat fluxwas basically uniformbutcorrection was carried out for its nonuniformity produced bythe conductive loss toward the back surface of the target plateon which glass wool with 20mm in thickness was mountedThe radiative heat loss to the ambient was neglected as theradiative heat loss was evaluated to be less than 3 of the total

heat fluxThus LocalNusselt number to be used hereafterwasevaluated by the following equation

The flow fields of the impinging jet without or withthe two confining plates were qualitatively examined bymeans of smoke wire visualization Figures 8(a)ndash8(d) showthe instantaneous photographs taken from side view for theabsence of the two confining plates with 119867ℎ = 2 3 4and 5 respectively The vortices of the jet generated nearthe long side of the exit were approximately symmetric

for the center axis of the jet In addition in the case ofeach impinging distance the jet issued out approximatelyhorizontally

Figures 9(a)-9(b) exemplify the instantaneous pho-tographs taken from side view for presence of the twoconfining plates with 119867ℎ = 3 for 119882ℎ = 33 and 4respectively In the case of 119882ℎ = 33 the direction ofthe flow changed into the upper part and flowed toward thebottom after the flow impinged in the upper confining plateand a recirculation was formed in the bottom of the regionsurrounded with the plates In contrast the flow swung upand down for the jet center surface for119882ℎ = 4

Even in the case of other conditions we can classify it intotwo flow patterns such as Figure 10The flow pattern (a) is thetype that the flow is inclined to either upper part or bottom

Figure 7 Relation between fluctuating pressure and the confiningplate-to-plate distance ratio

and the pattern (b) is the type that the jet flow swings upand downThe presence of the two confining plates mountednear the exit generated the perturbational flow field like

that for using a two-dimensional suddenly expanded nozzle[11] The differences in the flow patterns by the experimentconditions are shown in Table 1 Signs (a) and (b) in Table 1show two kinds of flow patterns shown in Figure 10The clearmechanisms to become two kinds of the flow patterns arenot clear however the conditions are guessed as follows Inthe cases of 119882 lt 119867 the jet is drawn to a either side ofconfining plate due to the Coanda effect because of smallergap between the jet and the confining plates Disruption ofpressure balance between the upper and lower region of thejet for some reason might cause the jet incline to oppositeside In these cases it seems that the vibration of the flow alongspanwise also occurs locally

4 Conclusion

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of theconfining plates mounted in parallel with long sides of arectangular nozzle on the flow field and impinging jet heattransfer Mean and fluctuating pressure and heat transferon a target plate were measured for several kinds of spac-ing between two confining plates at each impinging platedistance and the flow field was visualized with a smokewire method and a smoke method Time averaged pressureand fluctuating pressure on the surface of the target platevaried with the spacing between the two confining platesand became large owing to the presence of the two confiningplates

The result of flow visualization showed two kinds offlow patterns one was a declined flow type and anotherwas a swing-type flow for the presence of the two confining

plates This complicated flow enhanced the heat transfer onthe target plate and brought almost uniform local Nusseltnumber over the whole region on the target plate Theenhancement ratio of local Nusselt number and spatial meanNusselt number for the presence of the two confining platesare about 50 and 40 respectively

Yet up to date there have been few investigations con-cerning heat transfer of a rectangular impinging jet confinedwith an end plate target plate and two confining platesmounted in parallel with long sides of the rectangular nozzleexitThe objective of this work is to examine the flowfield andheat transfer influenced by two parallel plates mounted neara rectangular nozzle exit Measurements of the heat transferand fluctuating pressure on a target plate were performedfor the impinging jet with nozzle-to-target plate distancesand with confining plate-to-plate distances Flow field for theimpinging jet was qualitatively visualized using a smoke-wiremethod and smoke method The experimental facilities usedin this study are presented in the next section The resultsof experiments are then presented and discussed Finally theconclusions obtained here are presented

2 Experimental Apparatus and Procedure

Figure 1 shows schematic illustration of experimental setupand the coordinate system The facility used to produce ajet consisted of a blower a cooler for maintaining the airtemperature within 2∘C of an ambient temperature an orificeflow meter pipes made from polyvinyl chloride some noiseabsorbing ducts and a contraction A honeycomb of length80mm with hexagon cells of 4mm and wire meshes wereinstalled in the connection part of the ducts for rectificationThe nozzle contraction had an area ratio of about 133 1 andemploys a smooth contraction profile based on sine curveand following the curve had parallel section with the lengthof 10mm connecting to the exit to enhance flow uniformityA rectangular nozzle exit contracted had a cross-section area

with the length of 200mm and the width ℎ of 15mm whoseoutlet rimwas arranged flushmountwith an end plateThe jetissuing horizontally through the exit impinged onto a targetplate perpendicularly mounted in the middle plane of thejet The nozzle-to-target plate spacing 119867 was set equal to119867ℎ = 2 3 4 and 5 where those places corresponded to apotential core region of the free jet used in the present studyTwo parallel confining plates having the length of 200mmwhose length andwidth were equal to the length of the nozzleexit and the 119867 value respectively were mounted betweenthe end plate and the target plate for each position 119867 Thespacing between the two confining plates mounted in parallelwith the long sides of the exit 119882 was set equal to 119882ℎ =27 33 4 53 and 67 for 119867ℎ = 2 3 and 4 and to 27 334 53 67 and 8 for 119867ℎ = 5 only The intersection betweenthe geometric jet central axis and a target plate was defined asthe origin of coordinate and the 119911 axis was taken across thelength of the jet exit from the origin

For the measurements of pressure and heat transfer onthe target plate the jet exit velocity obtained from flow ratedivided by the cross-section area of the nozzle exit was setat 10ms resulting in a Reynolds number Re based on thenozzle width ℎ and kinematic viscosity ] of about 9500For only flow visualization using a smoke-wire method thevelocity was set at 5ms to obtain good quality pictures ofthe flow field The adjustment of the flow rate was carriedout by changing the rotational frequency of the blower withan inverter The flow rate was almost constant without theadjustment of its rotational frequency in all cases even if theconfining plate-to-plate spacing and the nozzle exit-to-targetplate distance changed

The target plate for the measurements of fluctuatingpressure on the surface consisted of three pieces as shownin Figure 2 The middle sliding plate was manually traversedalong the 119911 direction within the region minus8 le 119911ℎ le 8 A smallpressure hole with 05mm in diameter and 5mm in depth

was drilled from the front surface at its geometrical centerand a differential pressure transducer used in measurementof the pressure was screwed into a blind hole drilled intothe wall to the small hole The transducer output signalwas amplified using a strain amplifier module The voltagesignals from the amplifier were recorded onto a data loggerin 30000 data points at a frequency of 5000Hz Timeaveraged mean pressure and root mean square values of thefluctuating pressure were calculated from the data recordedwith a personal computer The pressure on the target platewas measured at 5mm interval by traversing the sliding platewithin the region minus8 le 119911ℎ le 8

The smoke wire method was used for the visualizationof confined flow field The smoke wire was consisted oftwo nichrome wires with 50 120583m in diameter which wereuniformly twisted together It was individually placed at thecenter of the nozzle exit and a little downstream along the 119910axis It was coated by paraffin oil before each test and heatedby impulse direct current Pictures of the resultant whitestreak lines were taken using digital camera and stroboscopelight Additional flow visualization was conducted oil mistgenerated froma smoke generatorwas absorbed to the blowerand the oil mist gushed out of the nozzle was observed witha video camera

For the measurements of local heat transfer three stain-less steel strips 20120583m thick 8mm wide and 260mm longwere glued in parallel with each other along the 119911-directionThese strips were electrically connected in series and wereheated by passing alternating electric current Distributionof the heated surface temperature was measured with 49thermocouples allocated to contact with the back surface ofthe central strip at 5mm interval so as to cover the regionfrom 119911ℎ = minus8 to 119911ℎ = 8 Heat fluxwas basically uniformbutcorrection was carried out for its nonuniformity produced bythe conductive loss toward the back surface of the target plateon which glass wool with 20mm in thickness was mountedThe radiative heat loss to the ambient was neglected as theradiative heat loss was evaluated to be less than 3 of the total

heat fluxThus LocalNusselt number to be used hereafterwasevaluated by the following equation

The flow fields of the impinging jet without or withthe two confining plates were qualitatively examined bymeans of smoke wire visualization Figures 8(a)ndash8(d) showthe instantaneous photographs taken from side view for theabsence of the two confining plates with 119867ℎ = 2 3 4and 5 respectively The vortices of the jet generated nearthe long side of the exit were approximately symmetric

for the center axis of the jet In addition in the case ofeach impinging distance the jet issued out approximatelyhorizontally

Figures 9(a)-9(b) exemplify the instantaneous pho-tographs taken from side view for presence of the twoconfining plates with 119867ℎ = 3 for 119882ℎ = 33 and 4respectively In the case of 119882ℎ = 33 the direction ofthe flow changed into the upper part and flowed toward thebottom after the flow impinged in the upper confining plateand a recirculation was formed in the bottom of the regionsurrounded with the plates In contrast the flow swung upand down for the jet center surface for119882ℎ = 4

Even in the case of other conditions we can classify it intotwo flow patterns such as Figure 10The flow pattern (a) is thetype that the flow is inclined to either upper part or bottom

Figure 7 Relation between fluctuating pressure and the confiningplate-to-plate distance ratio

and the pattern (b) is the type that the jet flow swings upand downThe presence of the two confining plates mountednear the exit generated the perturbational flow field like

that for using a two-dimensional suddenly expanded nozzle[11] The differences in the flow patterns by the experimentconditions are shown in Table 1 Signs (a) and (b) in Table 1show two kinds of flow patterns shown in Figure 10The clearmechanisms to become two kinds of the flow patterns arenot clear however the conditions are guessed as follows Inthe cases of 119882 lt 119867 the jet is drawn to a either side ofconfining plate due to the Coanda effect because of smallergap between the jet and the confining plates Disruption ofpressure balance between the upper and lower region of thejet for some reason might cause the jet incline to oppositeside In these cases it seems that the vibration of the flow alongspanwise also occurs locally

4 Conclusion

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of theconfining plates mounted in parallel with long sides of arectangular nozzle on the flow field and impinging jet heattransfer Mean and fluctuating pressure and heat transferon a target plate were measured for several kinds of spac-ing between two confining plates at each impinging platedistance and the flow field was visualized with a smokewire method and a smoke method Time averaged pressureand fluctuating pressure on the surface of the target platevaried with the spacing between the two confining platesand became large owing to the presence of the two confiningplates

The result of flow visualization showed two kinds offlow patterns one was a declined flow type and anotherwas a swing-type flow for the presence of the two confining

plates This complicated flow enhanced the heat transfer onthe target plate and brought almost uniform local Nusseltnumber over the whole region on the target plate Theenhancement ratio of local Nusselt number and spatial meanNusselt number for the presence of the two confining platesare about 50 and 40 respectively

Figure 2 Target plate used in the pressure measurement

was drilled from the front surface at its geometrical centerand a differential pressure transducer used in measurementof the pressure was screwed into a blind hole drilled intothe wall to the small hole The transducer output signalwas amplified using a strain amplifier module The voltagesignals from the amplifier were recorded onto a data loggerin 30000 data points at a frequency of 5000Hz Timeaveraged mean pressure and root mean square values of thefluctuating pressure were calculated from the data recordedwith a personal computer The pressure on the target platewas measured at 5mm interval by traversing the sliding platewithin the region minus8 le 119911ℎ le 8

The smoke wire method was used for the visualizationof confined flow field The smoke wire was consisted oftwo nichrome wires with 50 120583m in diameter which wereuniformly twisted together It was individually placed at thecenter of the nozzle exit and a little downstream along the 119910axis It was coated by paraffin oil before each test and heatedby impulse direct current Pictures of the resultant whitestreak lines were taken using digital camera and stroboscopelight Additional flow visualization was conducted oil mistgenerated froma smoke generatorwas absorbed to the blowerand the oil mist gushed out of the nozzle was observed witha video camera

For the measurements of local heat transfer three stain-less steel strips 20120583m thick 8mm wide and 260mm longwere glued in parallel with each other along the 119911-directionThese strips were electrically connected in series and wereheated by passing alternating electric current Distributionof the heated surface temperature was measured with 49thermocouples allocated to contact with the back surface ofthe central strip at 5mm interval so as to cover the regionfrom 119911ℎ = minus8 to 119911ℎ = 8 Heat fluxwas basically uniformbutcorrection was carried out for its nonuniformity produced bythe conductive loss toward the back surface of the target plateon which glass wool with 20mm in thickness was mountedThe radiative heat loss to the ambient was neglected as theradiative heat loss was evaluated to be less than 3 of the total

for the center axis of the jet In addition in the case ofeach impinging distance the jet issued out approximatelyhorizontally

Figures 9(a)-9(b) exemplify the instantaneous pho-tographs taken from side view for presence of the twoconfining plates with 119867ℎ = 3 for 119882ℎ = 33 and 4respectively In the case of 119882ℎ = 33 the direction ofthe flow changed into the upper part and flowed toward thebottom after the flow impinged in the upper confining plateand a recirculation was formed in the bottom of the regionsurrounded with the plates In contrast the flow swung upand down for the jet center surface for119882ℎ = 4

Even in the case of other conditions we can classify it intotwo flow patterns such as Figure 10The flow pattern (a) is thetype that the flow is inclined to either upper part or bottom

Figure 7 Relation between fluctuating pressure and the confiningplate-to-plate distance ratio

and the pattern (b) is the type that the jet flow swings upand downThe presence of the two confining plates mountednear the exit generated the perturbational flow field like

that for using a two-dimensional suddenly expanded nozzle[11] The differences in the flow patterns by the experimentconditions are shown in Table 1 Signs (a) and (b) in Table 1show two kinds of flow patterns shown in Figure 10The clearmechanisms to become two kinds of the flow patterns arenot clear however the conditions are guessed as follows Inthe cases of 119882 lt 119867 the jet is drawn to a either side ofconfining plate due to the Coanda effect because of smallergap between the jet and the confining plates Disruption ofpressure balance between the upper and lower region of thejet for some reason might cause the jet incline to oppositeside In these cases it seems that the vibration of the flow alongspanwise also occurs locally

4 Conclusion

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of theconfining plates mounted in parallel with long sides of arectangular nozzle on the flow field and impinging jet heattransfer Mean and fluctuating pressure and heat transferon a target plate were measured for several kinds of spac-ing between two confining plates at each impinging platedistance and the flow field was visualized with a smokewire method and a smoke method Time averaged pressureand fluctuating pressure on the surface of the target platevaried with the spacing between the two confining platesand became large owing to the presence of the two confiningplates

The result of flow visualization showed two kinds offlow patterns one was a declined flow type and anotherwas a swing-type flow for the presence of the two confining

plates This complicated flow enhanced the heat transfer onthe target plate and brought almost uniform local Nusseltnumber over the whole region on the target plate Theenhancement ratio of local Nusselt number and spatial meanNusselt number for the presence of the two confining platesare about 50 and 40 respectively

The flow fields of the impinging jet without or withthe two confining plates were qualitatively examined bymeans of smoke wire visualization Figures 8(a)ndash8(d) showthe instantaneous photographs taken from side view for theabsence of the two confining plates with 119867ℎ = 2 3 4and 5 respectively The vortices of the jet generated nearthe long side of the exit were approximately symmetric

for the center axis of the jet In addition in the case ofeach impinging distance the jet issued out approximatelyhorizontally

Figures 9(a)-9(b) exemplify the instantaneous pho-tographs taken from side view for presence of the twoconfining plates with 119867ℎ = 3 for 119882ℎ = 33 and 4respectively In the case of 119882ℎ = 33 the direction ofthe flow changed into the upper part and flowed toward thebottom after the flow impinged in the upper confining plateand a recirculation was formed in the bottom of the regionsurrounded with the plates In contrast the flow swung upand down for the jet center surface for119882ℎ = 4

Even in the case of other conditions we can classify it intotwo flow patterns such as Figure 10The flow pattern (a) is thetype that the flow is inclined to either upper part or bottom

Figure 7 Relation between fluctuating pressure and the confiningplate-to-plate distance ratio

and the pattern (b) is the type that the jet flow swings upand downThe presence of the two confining plates mountednear the exit generated the perturbational flow field like

that for using a two-dimensional suddenly expanded nozzle[11] The differences in the flow patterns by the experimentconditions are shown in Table 1 Signs (a) and (b) in Table 1show two kinds of flow patterns shown in Figure 10The clearmechanisms to become two kinds of the flow patterns arenot clear however the conditions are guessed as follows Inthe cases of 119882 lt 119867 the jet is drawn to a either side ofconfining plate due to the Coanda effect because of smallergap between the jet and the confining plates Disruption ofpressure balance between the upper and lower region of thejet for some reason might cause the jet incline to oppositeside In these cases it seems that the vibration of the flow alongspanwise also occurs locally

4 Conclusion

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of theconfining plates mounted in parallel with long sides of arectangular nozzle on the flow field and impinging jet heattransfer Mean and fluctuating pressure and heat transferon a target plate were measured for several kinds of spac-ing between two confining plates at each impinging platedistance and the flow field was visualized with a smokewire method and a smoke method Time averaged pressureand fluctuating pressure on the surface of the target platevaried with the spacing between the two confining platesand became large owing to the presence of the two confiningplates

The result of flow visualization showed two kinds offlow patterns one was a declined flow type and anotherwas a swing-type flow for the presence of the two confining

plates This complicated flow enhanced the heat transfer onthe target plate and brought almost uniform local Nusseltnumber over the whole region on the target plate Theenhancement ratio of local Nusselt number and spatial meanNusselt number for the presence of the two confining platesare about 50 and 40 respectively

The flow fields of the impinging jet without or withthe two confining plates were qualitatively examined bymeans of smoke wire visualization Figures 8(a)ndash8(d) showthe instantaneous photographs taken from side view for theabsence of the two confining plates with 119867ℎ = 2 3 4and 5 respectively The vortices of the jet generated nearthe long side of the exit were approximately symmetric

Figures 9(a)-9(b) exemplify the instantaneous pho-tographs taken from side view for presence of the twoconfining plates with 119867ℎ = 3 for 119882ℎ = 33 and 4respectively In the case of 119882ℎ = 33 the direction ofthe flow changed into the upper part and flowed toward thebottom after the flow impinged in the upper confining plateand a recirculation was formed in the bottom of the regionsurrounded with the plates In contrast the flow swung upand down for the jet center surface for119882ℎ = 4

Even in the case of other conditions we can classify it intotwo flow patterns such as Figure 10The flow pattern (a) is thetype that the flow is inclined to either upper part or bottom

Figure 7 Relation between fluctuating pressure and the confiningplate-to-plate distance ratio

and the pattern (b) is the type that the jet flow swings upand downThe presence of the two confining plates mountednear the exit generated the perturbational flow field like

that for using a two-dimensional suddenly expanded nozzle[11] The differences in the flow patterns by the experimentconditions are shown in Table 1 Signs (a) and (b) in Table 1show two kinds of flow patterns shown in Figure 10The clearmechanisms to become two kinds of the flow patterns arenot clear however the conditions are guessed as follows Inthe cases of 119882 lt 119867 the jet is drawn to a either side ofconfining plate due to the Coanda effect because of smallergap between the jet and the confining plates Disruption ofpressure balance between the upper and lower region of thejet for some reason might cause the jet incline to oppositeside In these cases it seems that the vibration of the flow alongspanwise also occurs locally

4 Conclusion

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of theconfining plates mounted in parallel with long sides of arectangular nozzle on the flow field and impinging jet heattransfer Mean and fluctuating pressure and heat transferon a target plate were measured for several kinds of spac-ing between two confining plates at each impinging platedistance and the flow field was visualized with a smokewire method and a smoke method Time averaged pressureand fluctuating pressure on the surface of the target platevaried with the spacing between the two confining platesand became large owing to the presence of the two confiningplates

The result of flow visualization showed two kinds offlow patterns one was a declined flow type and anotherwas a swing-type flow for the presence of the two confining

plates This complicated flow enhanced the heat transfer onthe target plate and brought almost uniform local Nusseltnumber over the whole region on the target plate Theenhancement ratio of local Nusselt number and spatial meanNusselt number for the presence of the two confining platesare about 50 and 40 respectively

Figure 7 Relation between fluctuating pressure and the confiningplate-to-plate distance ratio

and the pattern (b) is the type that the jet flow swings upand downThe presence of the two confining plates mountednear the exit generated the perturbational flow field like

that for using a two-dimensional suddenly expanded nozzle[11] The differences in the flow patterns by the experimentconditions are shown in Table 1 Signs (a) and (b) in Table 1show two kinds of flow patterns shown in Figure 10The clearmechanisms to become two kinds of the flow patterns arenot clear however the conditions are guessed as follows Inthe cases of 119882 lt 119867 the jet is drawn to a either side ofconfining plate due to the Coanda effect because of smallergap between the jet and the confining plates Disruption ofpressure balance between the upper and lower region of thejet for some reason might cause the jet incline to oppositeside In these cases it seems that the vibration of the flow alongspanwise also occurs locally

4 Conclusion

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of theconfining plates mounted in parallel with long sides of arectangular nozzle on the flow field and impinging jet heattransfer Mean and fluctuating pressure and heat transferon a target plate were measured for several kinds of spac-ing between two confining plates at each impinging platedistance and the flow field was visualized with a smokewire method and a smoke method Time averaged pressureand fluctuating pressure on the surface of the target platevaried with the spacing between the two confining platesand became large owing to the presence of the two confiningplates

The result of flow visualization showed two kinds offlow patterns one was a declined flow type and anotherwas a swing-type flow for the presence of the two confining

plates This complicated flow enhanced the heat transfer onthe target plate and brought almost uniform local Nusseltnumber over the whole region on the target plate Theenhancement ratio of local Nusselt number and spatial meanNusselt number for the presence of the two confining platesare about 50 and 40 respectively

4 Conclusion

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of theconfining plates mounted in parallel with long sides of arectangular nozzle on the flow field and impinging jet heattransfer Mean and fluctuating pressure and heat transferon a target plate were measured for several kinds of spac-ing between two confining plates at each impinging platedistance and the flow field was visualized with a smokewire method and a smoke method Time averaged pressureand fluctuating pressure on the surface of the target platevaried with the spacing between the two confining platesand became large owing to the presence of the two confiningplates

The result of flow visualization showed two kinds offlow patterns one was a declined flow type and anotherwas a swing-type flow for the presence of the two confining

plates This complicated flow enhanced the heat transfer onthe target plate and brought almost uniform local Nusseltnumber over the whole region on the target plate Theenhancement ratio of local Nusselt number and spatial meanNusselt number for the presence of the two confining platesare about 50 and 40 respectively

4 Thus the presence of the two confining plates mountednear the exit is effective to improve the spatial mean Nusseltnumber as well as local Nusselt number

4 Conclusion

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of theconfining plates mounted in parallel with long sides of arectangular nozzle on the flow field and impinging jet heattransfer Mean and fluctuating pressure and heat transferon a target plate were measured for several kinds of spac-ing between two confining plates at each impinging platedistance and the flow field was visualized with a smokewire method and a smoke method Time averaged pressureand fluctuating pressure on the surface of the target platevaried with the spacing between the two confining platesand became large owing to the presence of the two confiningplates

The result of flow visualization showed two kinds offlow patterns one was a declined flow type and anotherwas a swing-type flow for the presence of the two confining

plates This complicated flow enhanced the heat transfer onthe target plate and brought almost uniform local Nusseltnumber over the whole region on the target plate Theenhancement ratio of local Nusselt number and spatial meanNusselt number for the presence of the two confining platesare about 50 and 40 respectively
