Elliptical-shaped pins (ESPs) with different heights and layouts on the target surface of the extended jet hole configurations were examined numerically in a jet impingement system. The ESPs were arranged in a staggered and circular form. Normalized nozzle length (G(j)/D-j = 1.0, 2.0, 6.0) and normalized pin height (H-p/D-j = 0, 0.167, 0.417, 0.667) were investigated as geometric parameters. Also, the effect of different pin layouts (R-1, R-2, R-3) on heat transfer dissipation was studied by changing the number of pin rows in particular configurations. A numerical model was developed and verified with experimental and numerical data from the literature. Numerical analyses were conducted with the shear stress transport (SST) k-omega turbulence model taking the boundary conditions into account under turbulent flow conditions (16,250 <= Re <= 32,500). Nusselt (Nu) numbers, pressure drop, and the thermo-hydraulic performance of the physical model were quantitatively researched to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of enhanced heat transfer by the ESPs. Results were compared with the orifice surface (H-p/D-j = 0 and G(j)/D-j = 6.0). Results showed that area-averaged Nu number on the target wall increased up to 35.82% for Re = 16,250 by R-2_G(j)/D-j = 1.0 and H-p/D-j = 0.167 compared to the conventional JIC system. The performance evaluation criterion (PEC) was used to analyze the thermo-hydraulic performance of the examined physical models. According to the PEC values, the most feasible parameters for all Re numbers were R-3_G(j)/D-j = 1.0 and H-p/D-j = 0.167. Furthermore, increasing the number of pin rows in the channel also increased the uniformity of the local heat transfer distribution according to Nu contours.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessjet impingementroughness elementpin layoutconvection heat transferCFDAssessment of Convective Heat Transfer Characteristics for Elliptical-Shaped Pin-Roughened Surface for the Jet Impingement CoolingArticle10.1115/1.40559401452N/AWOS:0009768302000032-s2.0-85143988705Q2
