ABSTRACT
Experimental investigations on the local distribution of wall static pressure coefficient due to an impinging slot air jet on
a confined rough surface is performed with the parameters: Reynolds number (2500-20000), jet to plate spacing (0.5 to
10), confinement ratio (6.8, 10.6, 13.2), size of the ribs (4mm, 6mm) and the distance of the point from the stagnation
point in the lateral direction on the plate. Static pressure probe and a differential pressure transducer is used to record
the pressure on the target plate. It is clearly identified that the presence of confinement and roughness on the surface
changes the flow behaviour and an enhancement in the coefficient of pressure for the confinement ratio of 6.8 and rib
size of 4mm at the range of Reynolds numbers studied. The results can help in design of a better cooling device for
industrial applications.

1.INTRODUCTION
Jet impingement heat transfer received considerable research attention due to their inherent characteristics of
high rates of heat transfer. Such impinging flow devices allow for short flow paths on the surface with
relatively high heat transfer rate. The industrial processes which employ impinging jets are drying of textiles,
film and paper; processing of some metals and glass; gas turbine blades and outer wall of combustors; cooling
of electronic equipment The Impinging jet can be defined as a high velocity coolant mass ejected from a hole
or slot that impinges on the heated plate. A characteristic feature of this flow arrangement is an intensive heat
transfer between the wall and fluid.
Various researchers have worked on impinging jets of different configurations in the past. A.H.Beitelmal et
al [1] studied the effect of surface roughness on average heat transfer at on impinging air jet. The temperature
was measured over a Reynolds number ranging from 9600 to 38500. Nozzle to plate spacing (z/d) ranging
from 1 to 10. They observed up to 6%increase in average Nusselt number due to surface roughness that
disturbs the boundary layer and promotes the turbulence of wall jet. The correlation between average Nusselt
number, Reynolds number and nozzle to plate spacing was proposed. V.A.Chirac and A.Ortega [2] used the
numerical finite difference method to determine steady and unsteady flow and heat transfer due to a continued
slot jet impingement on isothermal plate. The jet Reynolds number ranging from 250 to 750 of Prandtl
number 0.7 and jet to plate spacing (H/W) of 5 is studied. They observed that at Reynolds number 585-610 the
flow become unsteady. In the steady regime stagnation Nusselt number is directly proportional to the
Reynolds number and distribution of heat Transfer in the wall jet region was influenced by re-entrainment of
the flow. X.Gao and B.Sunden [3] studied the heat transfer characteristics of confined single and multiple
impinging slot jet experimentally. The liquid thermography was used map the temperature distribution on the
plate. The effects of nozzle to plate spacing, Reynolds numbers, and width of jet and presence of the exhaust

port on the local and average Nusselt number is studied. Comparing the single and multiple jets at two nozzles
to plate spacing (H/B) 8 and 24, all the local Nusselt number distribution shows same behaviour for all
Reynolds number from 1150-7550, which confirms that large slot to slot distance in multiple jets prevents
from jet interaction with each other. The effects of the nozzle to plate spacings on stagnation Nusselt number
of central jet of the three slot system and single slot jet at different Reynolds numbers observed and stagnation
Nusselt number is maximum at H/B=8 and both jets have same value up to H/B=8, increasing in H/B leads to
decrease in Nu0 values of multiple jet. The effect of slot width shows that higher width has higher local
Nusselt number and lower width have higher average Nusselt number, it occurs due to increase in turbulence
intensity as the slot width increases. V.Narayan et al [4] experimentally studied the flow field surface pressure
and heat transfer of turbulent slot jet. Two nozzle to surface spacing at 3.5 (transitional jet) and 0.5 (potential
core jets) nozzle exit hydraulic diameter are considered for exist Reynolds number at 23000. They reported
high heat transfer rate in the transitional jet impingement and non-monotonic decay in heat transfer
coefficient. For potential core jet impingement and generation of turbulence near the surface prior to
impingement and pressure at span wise vertices in the stagnation region with increase in near wall responsible
for increased in heat transfer in transition jet impingement. E.Bayadar and Y. Ozmen [5] conducted
experimental and numerical investigation on impinging air jet at Reynolds number ranging from 30000 to
50000. The mean velocity, turbulence intensity and pressure distribution were obtained for given Reynolds
number and a nozzle to plate spacing ranging between 0.2-6. They observed pressure distribution on the
impingement plate was independent of the Reynolds number. Sub atmospheric region occurs on impinging
plate for nozzle to plate spacing up to 2 and it become stronger and more deductible with decreasing the
nozzle to plate spacing. They reported maximum turbulence intensity and secondary peak in Nusselt number
occurred in the sub atmospheric region. V.Katti and S.V.Prabhu [6] studied enhancement of heat transfer on a
flat plate surface using axis symmetrical ribs by normal impingement of circular jet. Effect of ribs width (w)
ribs height (e) pitch between the ribs (p) location of first rib from stagnation point and clearance under the rib
(c) on local heat transfer distribution is studied jet to plate distance varying from 0.5 to 0.6. They observed
that the enhancement in heat transfer due to acceleration of fluid in that region created by clearance under the
rib and Nusselt number of stagnation point increases by shifting rib nearer to the stagnation. With increasing
in width of rib major flow impinges on top surface of rib and may not reach to target surface it may lead to
decrease in heat transfer and increasing rib height flow velocity along the target surface decaying at faster
rate. They also observed wall static pressure gradient of stagnation point is higher for surface with detached
ribs than smooth surface. Puneet Gulati et al [7] studied the effects of shape of nozzle, jet to plate spacing and
Reynolds number on impinging air jet. Reynolds number varied between 5000 to 15000 and jet to plate
spacing from 0.5 to 12 Nozzle diameters. Length to equivalent diameter ratio of 50 is chosen. The local heat
transfer is determined using thermal images obtained from IR thermal imaging method. They observed that
rectangular nozzles show high heat transfer rate due to high turbulence intensity at nozzle exit and it requires
more pumping power due to larger pressure loss coefficient. Pressure drop measurements across the nozzle
are made and pressure loss coefficient for all nozzle configurations reported. Nirmalkumar et al [8] conducted
experimental investigation of local heat transfer distribution and fluid flow properties on a smooth plate by
impinging slot air jet. Reynolds number based on slot width varied from 0.5 to 12. They identified three
regimes on the flat surface viz. stagnation region (0 ≤ x ≤ 2), transition region (2 ≤ x/b ≤ 5) and wall jet region
(x/b ≥ 5). Semi empirical correlation for Nusselt number in the stagnation region and wall jet region is
suggested. Katti, Adimurthy and Ashwini [9] experimentally studied the local wall static pressure distribution
on smooth and rough surface by impinging slot jet. They observed that wall static pressure is independent of
Reynolds number and its strength decreases with increase in nozzle to plate spacing, they also observed
enhancement in heat transfer rate at rough surface using detached ribs compared to smooth surface.
Adimurthy and Katti [10] investigated the local distribution of wall static pressure and Heat transfer on a
smooth plate impinged by a slot air jet. They adopted Infrared thermographs to study the heat transfer
distribution and static pressure probe to analyze the flow distribution and behaviour over the plate. They
presented a correlation to estimate the Normalized value of the Nusselt number in particular to the stagnation
region. Adimurthy, Katti and Venkatesha [11] experimentally studied the fluid flow and heat transfer
characteristics of a rough surface, impinged by a confined laminar slot air jet. Heat transfer distribution was

analyzed with the IR images and static pressure probe is used to capture the pressure distribution over the
rough surface in presence of confinement. They correlated flow pattern and heat distribution in their study.
They also presented an empirical formula to estimate the Stagnation point Nusselt number in the potential
core as well as beyond the potential core region separately.
Present work is intended, to study the influence of Reynolds number, jet to plate spacing, surface roughness
and confinement of the jet on the local distribution of wall static pressure coefficient due to impingement of a
confined slot air jet on the rough surface.
3. EXPERIMENTAL SETUP AND METHODOLOGY
The experimental set-up for wall static pressure distribution study is as shown in 1 and Air is supplied by a
blower through a well calibrated orifice meter and venturimeter. The flow rate is controlled by a flow control
valve, to achieve the uniform flow rate at the exit of the nozzle.

Surface
The airflow is directed to the plenum through a diffuser and two meshes in the plenum. Velocity profile
remains uniform because of the diffuser upstream of the plenum. Nozzle is made of an acrylic sheet with 45
mm height and 4 mm wide. The aspect ratio of the nozzle cross section is maintained very high around 24 so
that the effect of nozzle height is neglected. Jet air temperature is measured using a Chromel-Alumel
Thermocouple (K-type) positioned at the inlet of the nozzle. The output of the thermocouple is measured by
milli voltmeter. The target plate is kept on 2-D traverse table, so it can be easily moved for various jet to plate
spacings by operating the traversing system. Orifice meter and venturimeter are used to measure the rate of air
flow through the jet. The target plate made up of acrylic sheet of 10mm thickness. A static pressure tap
approximately 0.5mm in diameter is drilled in 10mm thick acrylic plate for 3mm deep from impingement
surface and then counter bored to 3mm diameter for the remaining depth. The jet-to-plate distances (Z/Dh) of
0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, and 10 are considered in the present study. The ribs are fabricated from the
thermally non active material Plexiglas (K=0.23w/mk). Two ribs of size 4mm and 6mm width, 45mm height
and thickness is 2mm are chosen for the study. The spacer of thickness 1mm is used to mount the rib over the
target plate to maintain uniform gap between the plate and the rib.

Fig 4.2.2 effect of confinement on smooth and rough surface (4mm rib)
The maximum stagnation wall static pressure occurred for confined ribbed surface compare confined smooth
surface. The sub-atmospheric region occurred up to Z/Dh=4 for confined ribbed surface, Z/Dh=0.5 for confined
smooth surface.
It clear that strength of sub-atmospheric region depend on ribbed configuration at Z/Dh>0.5, and secondary
peaks observed for confined ribbed configuration and peaks height increases with increase in Z/Dh. The
spreading rate of confined smooth jet is more than ribbed and confined.
5.3 Influence of confinement ratio on stagnation point wall static pressure
Fig 4.2.3(a) to Fig 4.2.3(e) shows variation of stagnation point wall static pressure with Z/Dh for different
confinement ratio of 4mm rib. At lower Reynolds number Lc/Dh=6.8 shows better values.

At Re =5000 to 20000 The Lc/Dh=13.6 shows higher stagnation wall static pressure within potential core
region and Lc/Dh=10.2 shows better values behind potential core region.
Fig 4.2.3(f) to Fig 4.2.3(j) shows variation of Cp0 with Z/Dh for different confinement ratio of 6mm rib. The
Lc/Dh=13.6 shows better Cp0 values at Z/Dh<4. After potential core the Cp0 values of all configuration merge
with smooth plate values
6. CONCLUSION
An experimental study is carried out to investigate local wall static pressure distribution and local heat transfer
distribution between the normally impinging confined slot air jet and flat rough surface. A single fully
developed jet issued from a slot jet is chosen. Reynolds number based on nozzle exit condition is varied from
2500 to 20000. Different configurations of detached ribs and confinement plates are chosen. Sequential
parametric study is carried out to investigate the influence confinement on the local wall static pressure
distribution on rough surface. The jet to plate distance is varied from 0.5 to 10 times the Hydraulic diameter of
the jet.
The conclusions drawn from the investigation are as follows:
Maximum wall static pressure occurs at stagnation point and its value decreases with increase in nozzle to
plate spacing for all the configurations investigated.
Sub-atmospheric region is observed up to Z/Dh=4 for all rough surface configurations studied.
Effect of confinement is pronounced more at Z/Dh=0.5 for all configurations since at lower jet to plate
spacing, more recirculation of the jet happens.
Secondary peaks in wall static pressure are visible invariably at all jet to plate spacings and Reynolds
numbers for rough surface due to the effect of flow acceleration under the detached ribs.
Increase in confinement length increases the potential core length with increasing Reynolds number.
