ABSTRACT

An experimental setup was built to study the influence of conduction heat loss on the convective heat transfer performance enhanced by an impinging jet in cross-flows. Results revealed that the conduction heat loss ratio (Ec/E) is between 12.0% and 40.1%, and it decreases nonlinearly with the ratio of jet-to-cross-flow velocity. The relative Nusselt number increases with the ratio of jet-to-cross-flow velocity. The maximum peak value and the average are 8.1 and 6.4, respectively. The distribution of the relative Nusselt number seems to be flattened by assuming a constant conduction heat loss ratio.
