Abstract-- Jet impingement is one of the best methods for
achieving high heat-transfer coefficient over a flat plate surface. It
has been an active research topic for several decades [1]. This
study performed experiments on various parameters, such as
nozzle-to-nozzle spacing (S/d = 1, 2, and 3 cm) and the distance
between the nozzle and the aluminum plate (H/d = 1, 6, and 11 cm),
to determine the effect of different Reynolds (Re) numbers using
the twin jet impingement mechanism on the local heat transfer of
an impinged flat aluminum plate. The same setup was used to
measure the heat flux of the jet impinging on a flat aluminum plate
surface. The heat flux of the heated air jet impinging on the plate
was measured using a heat flux micro-sensor at radial positions 0–
14 cm away from the stagnation point. The measurement of the
heat flux was used to calculate the local heat-transfer coefficient
and local Nusselt (Nu) number for steady air jet and air jet
impingement. The Re used were 17,000, 13,000. Results show that
the local Nu number was calculated at all measurement points.
Furthermore, the Nu number increases with the Re number in the
steady jet. The relationship between the results shows that higher
flow velocity results in the higher localized heat flux of the steadily
heated air jet impinging on the aluminum plate. In addition, the
best heat-transfer coefficient in the area near the nozzles and
aluminum plate and the nearest distance between the nozzles,
especially in the first five points at the plate, decrease away from
the center of the aluminum plate for all Re numbers used. Thermal
data were collected by Graphtec GL820 multichannel data logger
and Fluke Ti25 to capture the temperature distribution in front of
the aluminum foil.

INTRODUCTION
Heat transfer is in the key to increasing the efficiency of
engineering applications. Jet impingement is utilized in many
industrial applications for its ability to produce high heat
transfer rates. It is used in inclined turbine blade, film cooling,
bearing cooling, electronics cooling, automobile windshield
deicing/defogging, drying of paper, and glass tempering [2-5].
Numerous studies on impingement heat transfer, both in
numerical and experimental aspects, have been published [6-8].
Most of the available information on the heat transfer
characteristics of impinging jets focus on normal jet
impingement on a flat surface.
An experimental investigation was conducted to study the
effect of different Reynolds (Re) numbers of air jets on the heat-
transfer rate number using the twin jet impingement mechanism
(TJIM). Impinging jets have wide industrial applications. They
are very important in the industry for heating and cooling. In
various applications, the thermal conductivity of fluids should
be enhanced for efficient heat transfer [9, 10]. The jet
impingement heat transfer technique has attracted considerable
research interest because of the high heat-transfer coefficients
produced by the forced convection action. Impinging jets are
increasingly used in industrial applications over a wide range of
disciplines and configurations, such as in textile drying, food
industry, turbine blade cooling, electronic chip cooling, metal
annealing, aircraft engine nacelle and blade, and glass
tempering. Extensive research has been conducted to study the
effects of applying multiple impinging steady jets on flow and
heat-transfer characteristics. Many studies discussed how to
enhance heat transfer using single and twin impingement jets
[11-13].
Unlike the review articles by Jambunathan [14], which
discussed steady impingement in remarkable detail, more
studies have begun to investigate the effect of flow pulsations
on heat-transfer enhancement experimentally and numerically.
Sheriff and Zumbrunnen [15] experimentally discussed the
effect of flow on cooling performance using jet arrays. The
presence of coherent structures was observed, but no significant
enhancement with respect to the heat-transfer characteristics
was recorded. Zulkifli and Sopian [16] presented the results of
two experimental studies on jet impingement heat transfer.
Measurements were carried out with three Re numbers, namely,
16,000, 23,300, and 32,000. The local Nusselt (Nu) number of
an air jet impinging on a plate was calculated from the recorded
value of the heat flux. The heat flux was measured using a heat
flux sensor. Their results revealed that the calculated local Nu
numbers were higher in all radial positions away from the

stagnation point. High instantaneous velocity can result in a
high Nu number at localized radial positions, as shown by the
velocity profile plotted in the first part of the experiment.
Zulkifli et al. [17] compared the local Nu numbers of the steady
and pulsating jets at various frequencies, different jet Re
numbers, and different radial positions away from the
stagnation point. Dobbertean and Rahman [18] analyzed the
steady-state heating of a patterned surface plate under free
liquid jet impingement. A constant heat flux was applied to the
cooled plate. Calculations were done for Re numbers ranging
from 500 to 1000 and depths from 0.000125 to 0.0005 m.
increasing the Renumber decreases the local heat-transfer
coefficient.
Wang et al. [19] studied the heat-transfer characteristics
through jet impingement at a high-temperature plate surface to
investigate the impact of initial surface temperature, water
temperature, and jet velocity on heat transfer characteristics for
various industrial applications. Heat flux maximum is
influenced by water temperature, jet velocity, and surface
temperature.
The heat-transfer characteristics were studied experimentally
[20] through high-velocity small-slot jet impingement boiling
on nanoscale modification surfaces to increase the critical heat
flux and to investigate the quantitative effects and the impact
mechanism of surface-distinguishing parameters. Furthermore,
[21] studied the jet impingement heat transfer at a concave
surface in a wing leading edge (experimental study and
correlation development). Heat-transfer increases at the
stagnation point with the Re and <alpha> numbers, and an
optimal H/d nozzle–plate distance exists to achieve the
preferable heat-transfer efficiency at the stagnation point that
conforms to specific operating parameters.
The transient heat-transfer characteristics on a flat plate using
circular air-jet impingement were studied by [6]. The local Nu
number rapidly increases when the air jet begins its
impingement. The increase in Nu speed slows down as the
impinging jet continues to cool down at the 50–80 s region.
Furthermore, [22] studied the heat transfer and fluid flow of a
slot jet impingement with a small nozzle-to-plate spacing in
which a secondary peak in the Nu number was observed. The
results showed that the mean velocity profile in the stagnation
point swerved from the standard law of the wall. The Nu
number was better than in the case with no perturbations, and
large-scale vertical structures were spotted near the location of
the secondary Nu number peak. [23] studied the influence of
nozzle-to-plate spacing on the fluid flow and heat transfer of
submerged jet impingement. The results revealed that the Nu
number and pressure are divided into three zones. In zone I, the
Nu number and pressure drastically increase with the
decreasing nozzle-to-plate spacing. In zone II, the effect of the
nozzle-to-plate spacing is negligible on the Nu number and
pressure. In zone III, the Nu number and pressure
monotonically decrease with the increasing nozzle-to-plate
spacing. Mladin and Zumbrunnen [24] theoretically
investigated the influence of pulse shape, frequency, and
amplitude on instantaneous and time-averaged convective heat
transfer in a planar stagnation region using a detailed boundary
layer model. They reported the existence of a threshold Strouhal
number, St > 0.26, below which no significant heat transfer
enhancement can be obtained.
However, comprehensive data on the effect of impingement jets
on local and average heat-transfer profiles at radial positions
from the stagnation point to the end of the plate surface are still
limited and require further investigation. The present study
aims to investigate the steady twin circular jet heat transfer
characteristics at different Re numbers and focuses on the local
heat transfer coefficient and Nu number. Furthermore, The Nu
numbers on the radial distance at the aluminum plate
impingement jet heat transfer were compared. The local Nu
number was assumed radially symmetrical on the stagnation
point. The total heat flux was proportional to the average Nu
number.
EXPERIMENTAL SETUP
Figure 1 shows a schematic of the experimental instruments.
Compressed air was supplied from the main compressor of 4
psi (0.275 bar). The compressed air was stored in air reservoir
and controlled by a ball valve. We used a refrigerated air dryer
to remove moisture from the compressed air. A pressure gauge
and a regulator were respectively installed to control air
pressure and avoid fluctuation from the cyclic on/off of the
main compressor. On the contrary, the air flow rate was
measured using a digital air flow meter (VA 420, CS
Instruments). The air entered the twin jet impingement
mechanism (TJIM) through two identical pipe lines. Each line
was controlled by a ball valve to ensure identical flow
characteristics for the twin jets.

The aluminum foil was held tightly to ensure a flat
impingement surface. A square aluminum foil of 30 cm × 30
cm × 0.4 cm and a heat flux-temperature foil sensor were fixed
on the front surface of the aluminum foil using a high-
conductivity heat sink compound and Kapton tape to reduce the
effect of air gaps between the sensor and the aluminum surface
(Figure 2).

square aluminum foil of surface dimensions and thickness (L)
was used as a jet impingement target. The locations of the heat
flux sensor and thermocouples on the aluminum plate surface
are shown in Figure 2.

In this study, we used two K-type thermocouples that were 120
mm apart and attached to an aluminum plate to monitor the
plate temperature. Data from all sensors, such as temperature,
static pressure (pitot tube), room humidity, atmospheric
pressure, and due point, were collected by the comet model
H7331 [25].
The high-thermal conductivity (k) and small thickness of the
aluminum foil ensured uniform temperature distribution
through the foil thickness for obtaining accurate temperature
measurement at the surface [18].
Thermal data were collected by the Graphtec GL820
multichannel data logger. The Fluke Ti25 Infrared thermal
imager was used to capture the temperature distribution at the
front of the aluminum foil. It is suitable for different kinds of
thermocouples (i.e., J, K, T, E, R, S, and B types) [17].
EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES AND METHODOLOGY
Figure 4 shows the schematic diagram of the experimental
setup. The experimental procedures were performed as follows.
First, the air flow was set to achieve a Re number of 17,000 and
13,000 for each jet in the steady jet case by measuring the
velocity of the twin jet center point at the nozzle exit using a
pitot tube. Second, the digital airflow meter was installed in the
TJIM to measure the flow rate and velocity of the steady jet
flow in constant temperature mode at 100 °C. The flow meter
anemometer used in this experimental setup was purchased
from Dantec Dynamics. This flow meter was placed between
the refrigerated air dryer and the PJIM pipes passing the twin
jets. Meanwhile, the run in the twin impingement jets was
executed by obtaining the velocity obtained from the pitot tube,
and this velocity was verified by the flow meter. Then, the
highest Re number=17000 was obtained and also 13000 to
capture the heat transfer per unit time (q) from the data logger
and to calculate the convective heat transfer coefficient (h) by
units (W/(m²K)).

Subsequently, the localized Nu number was calculated for the
15 points at a radial distance from the stagnation point on the
surface measured. Third, the differential pressure provided the
pressure difference as an analog used as input to data
acquisition Ni 6008, converted to a signal, then convert to a
value using the Scilab code developed to carry out the results.
This differential pressure was set up between the pitot tube and
the Ni 6008 data acquisition. Fourth, the aluminum foil was
installed at 1, 6, and 11 cm away from the nozzle exit to the
surface measured, and the space between the twin nozzles was
1, 2, and 3 cm, which means that nine models were built for the
experimental test. This preparation was carried out to start
measuring the heat flux and the surface temperature on the
impingement surface. Fifth, the Fluke Ti25 Infrared thermal
imager was used to capture the thermal images and temperature
distribution at the surface simultaneously until the heat transfer
reached the steady state. The steady heat transfer was achieved
when the heat inlet to the aluminum foil by the jets equaled the
heat lost by natural convection. A total of 540 samples were
recorded to reduce the experimental error in heat flux–
temperature sensor measurements, and the average value was
considered (Figure 5).

Prior to the experiments, several parameters related to the TJIM and thermal imager were kept constant as listed in Table 1.

Jet impingement heat-transfer problems require fluid
mechanics and heat-transfer considerations. Consequently,
related dimensionless numbers should be determined.
The Re number of the air jet, which relates the inertial forces
due to the viscous forces of the fluid, is computed as follows
[19]:
Revd
(1)
where μ is the dynamic viscosity of the fluid (Pa·s or N·s/m2 or
kg/(s)), ν is the velocity of the fluid (m/s), and ρ is
the density of the fluid (kg/m3).
In jet impingement heat transfer, forced convection is
dominated. The heat-transfer coefficient (h) could be obtained
from Newton’s law equation, [26] ( )s jQ h T T , which
results in
s j
qh
T T
(2)
where sT is the surface temperature, jT is the jet temperature,
and q is the amount of heat transferred (heat flux), W/m2.
The ratio of convective to conductive heat transfer can be
calculated by the Nu number equation as follows [27]:
hdNu
k (3)
Where h is the convective heat transfer coefficient, d is the pipe
diameter, and k is the thermal conductivity of the fluid.
RESULT AND DISCUSION
Heat-transfer enhancement tests were carried out at nozzle-to-
nozzle spacing (S/d=1, 2, and 3 cm) and nozzle to plate distance
(H/d=1 to 11 cm) to obtain the Nu numbers shown in Figures
6–14. These results confirm that Nu number improved using the
TJIM. Moreover, steady jets produce different Nu numbers
using the nine models with different velocities.

Finally, the maximum Nu numbers of the ninth model when the
spacing between nozzles was S/d= 3 cm and the distance
between the nozzles and the aluminum plate surface was H/d =
11 cm were approximately 150 when Re = 17,000 and 133
when Re = 13,000 and obtained by the TJIM in the first 5 points
at an approximate radial distance from the stagnation point and
decreased gradually to the end of the aluminum plate surface
until it reached less than 50 when Re = 17,000 and 43 when Re
= 13,000 at the end of the aluminum plate. Figure 14 shows the
Nu numbers when the spacing between nozzles was S/d = 3 cm
and the distance between the nozzles and the aluminum plate
surface was H/d = 11 cm.
. These results are more logically on comparing with other
research work. likewise to confirm the accuracy of the present
work, the value of the steady jet nusselt number versus
Reynolds number was plotted and Compared with the results of
other previous researchers as reported by [17, 29]
In summary, we can understand that the Nusselt number value
presented a sensible change with increase in values of Reynolds
number [14, 28]. These results are more logically on comparing
with other research work. likewise to confirm the accuracy of
the present work, the value of the steady jet Nusselt number
versus Reynolds number Compared with the results of other
previous researchers as reported by [17, 28]
In summary, these results reflect the behavior of the Nu number
quantitatively and qualitatively when steady and when twin jets
impinge on a hot flat plate at the center line of interference zone
passing to all the holes of the twin jets to the end of the surface
plate. Results from the experimental data are presented in this
section. Figures 15 and 16 illustrate the TJIM effect on the
surface temperature measured by the heat flux-temperature
sensor on the front surface and the thermal image on the surface,
respectively. The surface temperature increases at the first 4 or
5 points on the plate surface and then starts to decrease after the
5-point distance on the aluminum surface plate.
Presenting how TJIM affects the Nu number in the midpoint or
center between the twin jets that pass to end of the interference
zone at the end of the aluminum plate surface is important. The
figures present the influence on the Nu number based on micro
foil sensor measurements. The Nu number was recorded and
then decreased away from the center of the aluminum plate
surface to the end of the surface (low rates at distant points from
the center of the surface). This result is logical because in the
current experiment the heat-transfer rate increases as long as the
twin jets are close to the surface and when the heat flux sensor
is under the direct impact of the twin jets air flow on the surface.
It gradually decreases as we move away from the center of the
interference zone.
Figures 15 and 16 show the images captured by the thermal
imager. These thermo-images represent the effect and
distributions of TJIM on the surface of the impinged target. The
center of the temperature values are labeled in the images. The
steady jet cases are illustrated below for the nine models,
respectively. Furthermore, we captured 18 pictures for all
models, one picture for every model at Re= 17000 and 13000.
Some observations can be recognized in these images. First, the
hottest spots due to the effect of twin jets impingement can be
clearly seen. Then, an elliptical temperature distribution after
the midlevel point of temperature can be observed. Moreover,
the steady jet case achieved higher temperature rates due to the
high flow rate of the jets. In contrast, the lower flow rate was
supplied in TJIM given its duty principles. Moreover, the higher
center temperature of 165.8 °C in Figure 15 was produced by
the fourth model when H/d = 1 and S/d = 2. Furthermore, twin
jets exchange their superiority in having the highest
temperature because of the high sensitivity of the thermal
imager to the minimal changes in the temperature between both
jets. See Figure 15 below.

behavior and thermal distributions. We have captured nine
pictures for all models. Some observations can be recognized in
these images. First, the hottest spots due to the effect of twin

temperature distribution after the midlevel point of temperature
can be observed. The steady jet case achieved higher

principles. Moreover, the higher center temperature of 164.4 °C

and 6 and S/d = 2.

CONCLUSION
The present study extensively investigated the impact of twin
jet impingement heat-transfer mechanism for heat-transfer
enhancement. The present investigation included heat flux–
temperature micro foil sensor measurements and IR thermal
imaging. The results revealed a significant enhancement in the
localized Nu number of the steady flow at positions of radial
distance on the aluminum measured surface 1–5 cm at Re
numbers of 17,000 and 13,000 and gradually decrease as we
move away from the center of the interference zone.
Subsequently, the thermography capturing process was carried
out on the surface of the aluminum foil flat target while the heat
flux–temperature data were collected for the nine models at
different Re on the impinged surface of the target. The results
revealed logical behavior for all parameters under
consideration. The identical effect of twin jets verifies the
performance of twin jets system which was designed to
generate identical two jets. Moreover, the distance between
nozzles and the spacing between jet and nozzles can be
considered the optimum condition for achieving higher heat
transfer rates for the present problem. In conclusion, the
variously presented results could describe the effect of the nine
models on heat-transfer characteristics of TJIM that may
contribute to the performance improvement of various
industrial and engineering applications.
