REVIEW OF JET IMPINGEMENT HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION

A review of the flow and heat transfer characteristics of systems of multiple impinging round jets is presented. The main focus is on the factors that occur in the drying of sheets and influence the heat and mass transfer rate. In the course of the review, the flow and heat transfer characteristics of multiple impinging round jets are introduced, and factors influencing the heat transfer and the pressure force are discussed. These include the effects of inlet condition, jet-to-jet spacing, jet-to-plate distance, number of jet rows, jet pattern, jet angle, surface curvature, and surface motion. A review of all the correlations for predicting the Nusselt number is provided. In the review of numerical works, the suitability of the turbulence models in predicting the local and averaged heat transfer rates is discussed.
