Abstract:- The promising technique of impingement cooling of such components needs primary attention as this technique is associated with non-uniform distribution of heat transfer coefficients. The designer sand researchers may choose suitable impingement cooling system based on the permissible non-uniformities of heat transfer rates depending on scheme of application. The present work is to address the issue of non-uniformity. This may be accomplished by obtaining the local heat transfer and fluid flow distributions due to various schemes of jet impingement cooling and there by quantify its degree of non-uniformity.

Hence, present work aims to investigate the local heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics due to impingement on flat surface which simulates leading edge of a typical gas-turbine blade. Further it is aimed to investigate separately the influence of geometric parameters of jets and target surface on local distribution of heat transfer coefficients and wall static pressure distribution.

INTRODUTION

The jet impingement heat transfer is one of the well- established high performance techniques for heating, cooling and drying of a surface. Such impinging flow devices allow for short flow paths on the surface with relatively high heat transfer rates .Interest and researching this topic continues unabated and may have even accelerated in recent years because of its high potential of local heat transfer enhancements. Applications of the impinging jets include drying of textile sand film; cooling of gas turbine components and the outer wall of combustors; and cooling of electronic equipment.

Single jet finds its application mostly where highly localized heating or cooling is necessary. However, when large surface areas require cooling or heating, multiple jet impingements are desirable. The proposed research work is to focus study on gas turbine blade cooling application which requires multiple jet-impingements.

The efficiency of the gas-turbine engines depend primarily on the turbine in let gas temperatures. The metallurgical considerations of the gas-turbine blade put a limit on the maximum in let gas temperature. Hence, an option to improve the engine efficiency could be to device an effective method to cool the turbine blades. A promising method of cooling turbine blades is to impinge cool air on the internal surfaces of the blades so that the gas turbine cycle may be operated at higher engine compression ratios with higher inlet gas temperatures for higher efficiencies and reduced fuel consumption. VanTreuren [1] reports a reduction of blade metal temperature of 40Â°C can improve blade life tenfold. Hanetal.[2] reports that turbine entry temperatures in some of the advanced gas turbines are far higher than the melting point of the blade material hence, the turbine blades need to be efficiently cooled using the relatively cool air bled from the compressor for improved performance.

Hence, this region needs primary attention of efficient cooling method. The internal passage at the leading edge may be considered to have a semi-circular concave surface and this region may be convectively cooled by a span wise row of impinging jets. In order to design and choose an effective cooling method, the knowledge of the local heat

transfer characteristics and wall static pressure distribution of the blade are essential.
LITERATURE REVIEW

The high heat transfer rates associated with impinging air jet is well recognized and documented for many years. Review of the experimental work on impinging jets is reported by Living ood and Hrycak [3], Martin [4], Jambunathanetal.[5] and Viskanta[6].

The available literature reveals that there have been some experimental investigations on flow and heat transfer characteristics of semi-circular concave surface with arrow of impinging jets which typically simulate cooling of leading edge of gas turbine blades. One of the first investigations on the impingement of a row of circular jets on a concave surface is reported by Chuppetal.[7].Their configuration simulated cooling internal passages of leading edge of typical gas-turbine blade. Jusionis [8], Metzgeretal.[9,10] and Dyban and Mazur[11] have studied the influence of Reynolds number(Re)and other geometric parameters on the average heat transfer characteristics in a semi-circular concave surface impinged by single row of circular jets. Taslimet al. [12-15], Taslimand Khanicheh[16] and Taslimand Bethka[17] made extensive experimental and numerical investigate on off low and heat transfer due to impingement on a smooth and rib-roughened leading- wall of gas turbine for constant z/d and s/d at different Reynolds number. Their study included average heat transfer characteristics for different flow conditions. They reported that the air mass flow rate through all the holes remains almost same for the cases of flow entering the supply channel from one end or both ends. Iacovidesetal.[18],studied experimentally the flow and thermal development of a row of cooling jets impinging on a rotating concave surface. Cooling fluid is injected from a row of five jet holes along the center line of the flat surface of the passage and strikes the concave surface. Craftetal [19] studied modeling of three- dimensional jet array impingement and heat transfer on a concave surface. Fenotetal.[20] carried out experimental investigation of heat transfer due to arrow of air jets impinging on a concave semi-cylindrical surface. The jets are issued from round tubes and flow to the supply channel is normal to the concave surface. However most of the heat transfer studies are not well supported by the wall static pressure measurements on the cylindrical concave surface along both the longitudinal and circumferential directions .Tabakoff and Clevenger[21] studied the effect of surface curvature on wall static pressure distribution for slot jet impingement .They varied the ratio of diameter of flat surface to slot width between 5.0 and 20.0 at constant jet-to-surface distance of six times jet width. They found that, the wall static pressure decrease along the curvature at higher rate at lower ratios of diameter of flat surface to slot width. Florschuetzet al.[22]studied flow distribution characteristics for arrays of impinging jets on flat surface. They developed a theoretical model to predict

the row-by-row flow distribution and compared their results with the experiments. Choietal[23] carried out LD A measurement of mean and fluctuating components of velocity in an experimental study with converging slot jet impinging on a concave surface. Recently, Ramakumarand Prasad [24, 25] reported experimental and computational results of the flow characteristics from multiple circular air jets impinging on a concave surface. They reported experimental results for the configuration of

D/d=30,s/d=5.4andz/d=1.0.However,their study does not explicitly correlate the influence of jet-to-plate distance on wall static pressure at a given Reynolds number. Bunker[26] reports about many and mostly unattended major thermal issues of turbine cooling as advanced engine design has allowed surpassing normal material temperature limits. One of the key issues includes uniformity of internal cooling of turbine blade passages.
CONCLUSIONS FROM LITERATURE SURVEY AND OBJECTIVE OF PRESENT PROPOSED

WORK:

The promising technique of impingement cooling of such components needs primary attention as this technique is associated with non-uniform distribution of heat transfer coefficients. The designer sand researchers may choose suitable impingement cooling system based on the permissible non-uniformities of heat transfer rates depending on scheme of application. The present work is to address the issue of non-uniformity. This may be accomplished by obtaining the local heat transfer and fluid flow distributions due to various schemes of jet impingement cooling and there by quantify its degree of non-uniformity.

Hence, present work aims to investigate the local heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics due to impingement on flat surface which simulates leading edge of a typical gas-turbine blade. Further it is aimed to investigate separately the influence of geometric parameters of jets and target surface on local distribution of heat transfer coefficients and wall static pressure distribution. Thin foil and Infrared radiometry technique used by Lytle and Webb

reducing the cross-sectional area of the passage, a pressure

difference is created and measurement of pressure difference ensures the discharge through the pipe. Since

the cross-sectional area of throat is smaller than the cross-

sectional area of the inlet section, because of which the velocity of flow at throat become greater than at the inlet section. The increase in velocity of flow at throat resists decrease in pressure at this section. The pressure difference between these two sections is determined by connecting a differential manometer between the taps provided at these sections; measurement of pressure difference enables the rate of flow to be calculated.

The thermo couple used to measure jet temperature is calibrated. The calibration procedure is as explained below. Two junctions are formed by the K type thermocouple wire. One of the junctions (cold junction) is maintained at 00C b y dipping it in a test tube enclosed in a thermos flask whose lid is provided with a hole to insert the wire in to the flask. The test tube containing mercury and water is surrounded by ice and water in equilibrium.Thecoldjunctionismaintainedatthemercurywater interface.Thelidof the thermos flask is closed tightly for minimizing the heat transfer into the flask. The other Junction (hot junction) is dipped in a water bath. Standards are in contact with the water .Calibrated RTD, thermocouple and thermometer are chosen as standards and their average readings are used to calibrate the present thermocouple. A milli volt meter is connected between the two junctions to give the emf developed in the circuit.

The arrangement is as shown in Fig.5. Initially, water in the water bath is heated to the temperature of about95oC (i.e., the temperature more than the maximum temperature obtained during the experimentation).Then, the electrical

various Z/D ratio for Re=30000

1From the graph of Cpvs x/d graph, the values of Cp is higher for lower x/d ratio. They decrease gradually up to X/D=0.13 and then appreciable decrease of Cp is observed for further increase in X/D ratio. The atmospheric pressure is reached on the concave surface at X/D 1. This indicates that atmospheric condition is reached on the concave surface due to impingement of jet at a longitudinal distance equal to the diameter of jet

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

An experiment is conducted on the concave flat surface to determine coefficient of static pressure (C =p/0.5AV 2)

Fig.8.2: Influence of longitudinal distance from point of impingement(X/D) on CP for

various Z/D ratio

From the graph of CP0 (Stagnation pressure co-efficient) v Z/D ratio, CP0 decreases as Z/D ratio increases up to 1. The

p j value of CP0 remains more or lessuniform in the range of

by impinging air jet by the circular straight nozzle at steady state. Experiments are conducted for different Reynolds number ranging from 12000 to 47000 for various circumferential angles (=0-35Â°), longitudinal distance from point of impingement of jet (X=0 -14 mm), and distance between target plate and nozzle (Z=7.75-124 mm). However the dimensionless distance x/d and Z/d are considered for the analysis, where d=15.5mm, is the diameter of circular straight nozzle.

From the graph of Cp v , and Cp v X/D, for varios Reynolds number, it is observed that, coefficient of

static pressure (Cp) is independent of Reynolds number as the curves overlaps to each other and same trend is

Z/D=1 to3. This may be because of target plate located within the potential core of free jet. Then the appreciable decrease ofCP0 is observed for further increase of Z/D ratio. As the distance from the nozzle increases the velocity goes on decreasing monotonically due to spreading of jet.
CONCLUSION

The effect of Circumferential angle of concave flat surface from point of impingement of air jet, the longitudinal distance X/D and distance of target surface form nozzle Z/D on Coefficient of static pressure Cp is experimentally investigated for different Reynolds number of flow at

steady state. The followings are the main conclusions that may be drawn from this study.
The potential core of free jet is observed for the Z/D ratio between 1and 3. The velocity decay is minimum for this range of Z.
