Abstract:
An experimental study of heat transfer in an impact air jet flowing out of a long round pipe ($l/d>$ 100) at low Reynolds numbers of 250–12000 was conducted. Three variants of the pipe inlet geometry were studied: sudden narrowing, conical confuser, profiled nozzle. Instantaneous and statistical data on local heat transfer were obtained at large distances to the obstacle ($h/d$ = 20). Localization of heat transfer for laminar jets in the critical point region was found for three variants of the pipe inlet. Initial conditions with a lower level of disturbances increase the critical Reynolds number and also promote heat transfer intensification in the critical point region.
