Recent developments of jet impingement nucleate boiling

摘要

Jet impingement boiling is one of important branches of flow boiling. Due to its high heat transfer rate, the application potential of this heat transfer approach is significant. Hence, it attracts many researchers attentions. This review examines the development of jet impingement boiling heat transfer that published in the past two decades. The topics covered are fully developed nucleate boiling regime and its two boundaries: onset of nucleate boiling and critical heat flux point. Free surface, submerged, confined circular/planer jet impingement boiling configurations are involved. Effects of jet parameters (impact velocity, impact distance, jet diameter, subcooling, jet array, etc.) and target surface parameters (surface condition, surface aging, etc.) on boiling heat transfer characteristics are emphasized and discussed. The review mainly focuses on experimental studies, but theoretical and numerical developments are also discussed.
