Single- and two-phase water jet impingement heat transfer on a hot moving surface

In this study, the laminar flow and heat transfer of water jet impingement on a hot moving plate is investigated. A similarity solution is applied to momentum and energy equations formulating the single-phase forced convection in order to determine the flow velocity and heat transfer. The heat flux in flow boiling regime is predicted by a superposition approach which is based on the combination of the single-phase and nucleate pool boiling components. The effects of surface motion and arbitrary surface temperature distribution on important forced convection and nucleate boiling heat transfer parameters for both stationary and moving plates are examined in the stagnation line and its nearby region. The results show that surface motion does not affect the rate of heat transfer in stagnation region when surface temperature is constant, while this motion is found to decrease heat transfer for a non-uniform surface temperature distribution state. However, it is observed that in fully developed nucleate boiling regime, the parameters including the surface velocity, the surface temperature gradient and the local distance from the stagnation line have negligible effect on the rate of heat transfer from the surface.
