Abstract

Impingement jets are used in many applications for high convective heat transfer. In order to optimise specialised nozzle systems, a comprehensive understanding of the gas flow is essential. The aim of this work is to investigate high-convective flows at Re = 10,000 to Re = 50,000 for a single slot nozzle (slot width W = 5 mm) and a slot nozzle array (distance between nozzle slots s = 70 mm) consisting of five nozzles. Particle image velocimetry measurements are taken for a distance between strip and nozzle exit of H = 50 mm and are compared to verify if the results from a single slot nozzle are transferable to a nozzle array. The presence of an array of nozzles not only creates a distinct zone where the individual jets interact but also changes the flow characteristics of the respective free jets. The potential core length in the nozzle field is significantly reduced compared to the single nozzle. It is therefore not possible to make a direct transfer of the results. Direct transferability of the results is therefore not possible. This means that further studies on whole arrays are needed to optimise nozzle arrays.
