Summary

The effect of jet-to-jet spacing on the local Nusselt number for confined circular air jets vertically impinging on a flat plate is investigated. Five jets in equilaterally staggered arrays are considered. The surface heat flux on the plate is 1500 Wm-2. The jet diameter is 3 mm. Three different jet Reynolds numbers are individually considered. The influence of jet-to-jet spacing, Re and jet height on the stagnation Nusselt number of the centre jet is experimentally investigated. An optimum ratio of jet-to-jet spacing to jet diameter is obtained.
