Heat transfer from a liquid bath due to an impinging gas jet: effect of liquid Prandtl number
01 Jan 1996
Abstract
There have been extensive heat transfer studies of impinging gas jets on solid surfaces, but few investigations of gas jet/liquid bath interaction. Here we report on the effects of liquid Prandtl number on air-jet induced transport in a bath. Two different liquids having widely different Prandtl numbers (silicone oil and a molten metal alloy, Amalloy-203) were used. Both numerical calculations and experiments were carried out to characterize the jet induced flow and heat transfer in the liquid. The mixing and thermal behavior of the heated bath were determined as functions of the air jet characteristics (inlet temperature, Reynolds number, diameter and nozzle distance from the bath surface) and bath properties (depth, diameter, and liquid Prandtl number).
