Abstract:
This paper concerns development of a prediction method for combined turbulent impingement and convection heat transfer. Firstly, a prediction of a single round unconfined impinging air jet without crossflow is investigated to assess the performance of linear and non-linear two-equation turbulence models. The results show that realizable and/or non-linear two-equation models may successfully be used for impinging jet heat transfer predictions but there are significant differences between the formulations. Among the models tested, a non-linear k-omega showed superior performance. Secondly, the influence of crossflow is considered and a plane confined air jet is investigated. For this case the models based on a frequency-equation (omega) show quite different and more reasonable predictions compared to the dissipation-equation (epsilon) based models.

Mechanisms of Heat Transfer
Conduction, accounting for approximately 3% of body heat loss at rest, is the process of exchanging heat between molecules of two materials in direct contact. This can result in both heat loss and gain. For instance, when the body is submerged in water, which conducts heat 20 times more effectively than air, it can either lose or gain significant heat.
