Abstract

The influence of a protruding pedestal on impinging jet heat transfer is investigated. A discretely heated portion of a protruding pedestal is exposed to a single circular impinging air jet with Re = 10,000-30,000. Jet exit diameters of 3.5, 9.5 and 21 mm are positioned at jet exit-to-surface distances of 2-5 diameters. The nondimensional heat transfer over the discretely heated portion of the pedestal is compared to a flat plate design to gauge the effects of Reynolds number, jet diameter and jet exit-surface spacing. In all cases, the presence of the protruding pedestal downstream is found to increase heat transfer.
