EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN AND METHODOLOGY FOR ESTIMATION OF LOCAL HEAT TRANSFER COEFFICIENT IN JET IMPINGEMENT USING TRANSIENT INVERSE HEAT CONDUCTION PROBLEM

摘要

This article aims to employ a two-dimensional inverse heat conduction technique in designing an experiment for accurately estimating the local convective heat transfer coefficient in slot jet impingement, given temperature measurements at some interior locations in the target plate. The method uses a sequential procedure together with the Beck function specification approach. Solution accuracy and experimental errors are examined using simulated temperature data. It is concluded that a good estimation of the space variable heat transfer coefficient can be made from the knowledge of the transient temperature recordings. The technique is used in a series of numerical experiments to provide the optimum experimental design for a slot jet impingement heat transfer investigation.
