The gas turbine transition piece was simplified to a one-four cylinder double chamber model with a single row of impinging holesin the outer wall Heat transfer augmentation in the coolant chamber was achieved through the use of pin fin structure and mistcooling which could increase the turbulence and heat transfer efficiency The present research is focused on heat transfer andpressure characteristics of the impinging cooling in the coolant chamber using FLUENT software With the given diameter ofimpinging hole pin fin diameter ratios 119863119889 have been numerically studied in ranges from 1 to 2 Three different detached 119871
were simulated The impinging cooling performance in all cases was compared between single-phase and two-phase (importedappropriate mist) flow in the coolant chamber All the simulation results reveal that the factors of 119871 and119863119889 have significant effectson the convective heat transfer After the pin fin structurewas taken the resulting temperature decrease of 3877 K atmost comparedwith the result of structure without pin fins And with the mist injecting into the cooling chamber the area weighted averagetemperature got a lower value without excess pressure loss which could satisfy the more stringent requirements in engineering
1 Introduction
Low installation cost and higher output have made gasturbine a popular power plant in the modern industries Gasturbines have been widely used in the domain of aerospaceand ship propulsion for more than half a century Tomeet theincreasing requirement of power research and improvementof heat efficiency of gas turbines have become the hottestresearch focus To improve the thermal efficiency and outputof gas turbines the temperature of working fluid is usuallyelevated higher than the metal melting Spontaneously thecomponents of gas turbine such as combustion chambercombustor transition pieces and turbine blades need tobe protected from the high temperature gas by coolingtechnology A wide variety of cooling technologies includingfilm cooling and impinging cooling have been successfullyused in cooling of these hot components for a few decades
Impinging jets are used in many applications for provid-ing high heatmass transfer rates Compared to other heat ormass transfer arrangements that do not employ phase changethe jet impingement device offers efficient use of the fluid and
high transfer rates In turbine applications jet impingementmay be used to cool several different sections of the enginesuch as the combustor case turbine caseliner and the criticalhigh temperature turbine blades [1] also the transition pieceused this cooling method mostly General applications andperformance of impinging jets had been discussed in anumber of reviews [2ndash4] The jet impingement angle hasan effect on heat transfer and was studied frequently [2 3]Besides some other parameters also have important effectson the impinging characteristics Dano et al [5] researchedthe effects of nozzle geometry on the flow characteristics andheat transfer performance Cheong et al [6] experimentallymeasured local heat transfer coefficients under an impingingjet with low nozzle-to-plate 119911119889 and spacings
Meanwhile pin fin cooling is often employed to protectthe hot sections from thermal degradation while extendingthe durability It is a commonly used method in the trailingedge of the gas turbine blades andmany channel flows [7ndash10]Horbach et al [8] describe an experimental study on trailingedge film cooling using coolant ejection The experimentaltest investigated the effects of different pin fins geometric

configurations and the result shows that the elliptic pin finshave a strong effect on discharge behavior as well as oncooling effectiveness and heat transfer
In the literature [9 10] experimental and numericalstudies of heat transfer performance in channels with pin finswere conducted by airThe results show that the channelswithpin fins had a heat transfer coefficient that was twice that ofthe channels without pin fins The numerical computationsshowed the same trends as experimentally observed by theheat transfer enhancement through pin fin structure adoptedHeat transfer from pin fin parameters is a subject of highimportance with many engineering applications
Most of the above works are based on geometric param-eters of the cooling structure in real applications newcooling techniques are anotherway to get enhancement of theconventional impinging cooling Wang and Li [11] proposeda promising technology to enhance air film cooling with mist(small water droplets) injection Each droplet plays the partof cooling sink and it flies a distance before it completelyvaporizes And the droplet evaporation plays an importantrole in reducing the temperature near the hot wall
Li and Wang [12] conducted their first numerical simu-lations of airmist film cooling They showed that injectingsome appropriate mist in the air could enhance the coolingeffectiveness to about 30ndash50 After that they [13] continueda more fundamental study on investigating the effect ofvarious models on the computational results including theturbulence models dispersed phase modeling and differentforces models (Saffman thermophoresis and Brownian)
Whereas all the studies mentioned above about mistcooling focus on film cooling style and the previous litera-tures about impinging cooling and pin fin cooling structuremainly focus on gas turbine blades structure electronicequipment and many other channel flow Although Yu et al[14] introduce the mist into impinging cooling technologythe cooling structure does not contain pin fin structureAnd those literatures about pin fins focus on some pinfin structures such as cross-sectional shape detached spacebetween the pin tip and the end wall which is a limited workabout the impinging characteristics through combining pinfin structures mist cooling and impingement
Based on the aforementioned cooling structure and mistfilm cooling mechanisms limited work is given to investigatethe impinging cooling performance in this study A modelof a one-fourth cylinder is designed which could simplifythe impinging structure and performance used in gas turbinetransition pieceThe objective of this paper is to useCFD sim-ulation to investigate impinging cooling performance withpin fin importing to the coolant chamber Two significanteffect factors in combination with impinging cooling and pinfin structure were investigated using numerical simulationsAll the cases were simulated in two situations one is only airin the coolant and another is air with mist together in thecooling chamber which is helpful in getting a better coolingeffectiveness
Accordingly the main objectives of the investigation areas follows (1) 119863119889 analysis with the given diameter ofimpinging hole 119889 = 1026mm pin fin diameter ratio 119863119889has been numerically studied in three different values 1 15
and 2 (2) Detached space analysis three different detachedspaces from pin fin array to impinging hole array (mark as119871 = 34 51 and 68mm) were simulated (3) Comparison ofresults the temperature of the inner wall cooling effective-ness and contours of velocity in different cases (4) Discussthe impinging cooling performance between single-phaseand two-phase flow in the cooling chamber with importappropriate mist (small droplets) into the coolant (air)

21 Geometric Configuration The transition piece was sim-plified to a one-fourth cylinder which could simulate thetransition piecersquos structure and performance [15 16] Thediscrete coolant jets forming a protective film chamber onthe side of transition piece are drawn from the upstreamcompressor in an operational gas turbine engineThe coolantflows fed through internal passages with surface holesFrom the supply plenum the coolants ejected through threediscrete impinging holes over the external boundary layeragainst the local high thermal conduction on the other sideof the transition piece In the downstream of these impingingholes three pin fins were brought into the cooling chamber Aschematic diagram of the flow domain along with boundaryconditions and dimensions is given in Figure 1
As shown in the figure the one-fourth cylindermodel hastwo layers of chambers with a length of 1050mm and theouter chamber is right the domain full of coolant which isour major research object The dimensions of the chambersare respectively defined as an outer radius and an innerradius of 200mm and 162mm In the diagram one side ofthe coolant chamber is closed contrarily both sides of themainstream chamber as the inner chamber are opened inwhich gas could flow through from one side to the otherThe three holes distributed uniformly in one row along thecircumferential direction in the surface of the outer wall Thedistance between holes and the pin fins ismarked as a variableparameter 119871 The diameter of all the impinging holes is about1026mm that is 119889 = 1026mm Three groups of pin findiameter ratio 119863119889 (where 119863 means pin fin diameter) havebeen constituted which is set to be 1 15 and 2

23 Boundary Condition Setup In the case of impingingcooling simulation boundary conditions are applied tospecify the flow and thermal variables Figure 1(a) disclosesthe boundary conditions used in the model in which thecoolant and gas are moving along respectively in the twolayers of chambers in opposite directions In the coolingchamber the coolant is considered to be two situationsOne is single-phase analysis The coolant is only air whilevelocity and temperature are set on the jet holes withpressure on the exit Another situation is two-phase flowin the cooling chamber which is considered mist added inthe air Additional boundary conditions for mist injectionsare specified The size of droplets is uniformly given as 5microns and the masses of water droplets are 0003 kgs Thesimilar conditions have been successfully used in film coolingtechnology by Subbuswamy and Li [22] The solid walls areassigned as ldquoreflectrdquo boundary condition which enables thedroplets to elastically rebound once hitting thewallThe outerinlet is specified as ldquoescaperdquo boundary condition for dropletsso that they can enter into the cooling chamber from the inletsurface
In the chamber of mainstream the gas flow is a mixtureof O2 H2O CO

is confirmed based on several real applications Uniformmass flux rate of 3146 kgs is assigned to the inlet of the gaschamber and other details about boundary conditions arelisted in Table 1 Assumption of the solid wall of the modelis formed with a material of Nimonic 263 which could getthe information from the Internet [23]
3 Meshing and Simulation Procedures
To conduct numerical simulations structured grids are usedin this study As shown in Figure 2 the structuredmeshes aregenerated to two domains which is on behalf of the coolantair chamber and gas chamber separately In the 3D cases thegrid sensitivity research started from 150000 meshes untilthe temperature result changed less than 1 when the totalnumber of the cells for the 3D domains is about 500000 Allthe cases concerning different parameters and conditions aremeshed with the same proper setup on the boundary and gotthe similar total mesh number Local grid refinement is usednear the holes and pin fin regions For all cases all nodes onthe inner wall surface have the 119910 plus value smaller than 300
This study is using a commercial CFD code based onthe control-volume method ANSYS-FLUENT 121 which isused in order to predict temperature impingement coolingeffectiveness and velocity fields All runs were made on a PC

holes at 119885 = 525mm After the coolant strikes the innerwall there are vortexes formedThe jet impingement and thevortex formed out of the coolant flow cool the surface of theinner wallThe impinging flow does not detach from the wallbut creates three regions around the impinging jet whichare called free jet region stagnation flow region and walljet region just as is mentioned in [24] The coolant-affectedwall jet region is displayed as light-colored area which canbe recognized around the red free jet region from each ofthe Cases 1 to 10 And the cold film layer with a thickness ofabout half jet diameter blankets the inner wall surface quiteefficiently around the wall jet region
Case 1 was set to be a cooling structure without pin finsComparing Case 1 with other cases in Figure 3 it can beobviously found that most of those cases have more faster
velocity areas in the coolant chamber than that in Case 1With speed increasing higher convective heat efficiency canbe obtained due to more heat that had gone away with thecoolant

1 presents the different flow structure around the pin finunder the circumstances of three sorts of 119871 Note that afterthe coolant strikes the inner wall it meets the pin fin andis obstructed and separated by it thus vortexes take shapebetween the outer wall and inner wall So that coefficientof heat transfer were increased with the increasing of thetempestuously flow of the vortexes But in contour of Case4 velocity in the upstream flow of the pin fins is not fasterthan that in the downstream That is because when the pinfins are shifted downstream from the geometric center of thejet the space between impinging hole and pin fin gets furtherso that the fast coolant could not get in touch with the pin finIn a nutshell the rising of distance 119871 clearly reduces the roleof pin fins in forming turbulence for 119863119889 = 2 But for Cases8ndash10 while119863119889 = 2 as well as Cases 5ndash7 when119863119889 = 15 themedian of 119871 could be the best because turbulence formed ismore sufficient when 119871 = 51 seen in the contours

lower temperature area (blue region) is larger than that inCase 1 which illustrates that the combination of impingingholes and pin fins has a good effect on reducing temperaturein the stagnation flow region For all the Cases from 1 to10 the different colors distribution represents corresponding
temperature which is described in detail on the temperaturelegend Overall it could be concluded that the yellow areain Cases 2ndash10 is larger than that in Case 1 that means thepin fin structure imported to the impingement cooling styleenhances the impinging cooling effectiveness

One important factor that must be considered in thedesign of pin fin is the detached spaces from pin fin arrayto impinging holes array The pin fins should be placed in asuitable position in the downstream flow in order to acquireenough turbulence Therefore Figures 5(a) 5(b) and 5(c)provided temperature values along 119885 direction at Line 1which is in the middle of the inner wall just as shown inFigure 5 They represent temperature comparison of threekinds of 119871 in different119863119889 cases separately It can be observedfrom Figure 5(a) that the temperature becomes lower withthe decrease in detached space and the lowest temperatureis obtained when 119871 = 34mm The 119871 = 34mm cases alsocan be proved to be the best distance in Figure 5(c) But inFigure 5(b) there is a little variation in the upstream where 119885
belongs to 0ndash05m and the cases with distance of 119871 = 51mmcould get a lower average temperature
The cooling effectiveness (120578) [22] is used to examine theperformance of impinging cooling The definition of 120578 is

in the diameter of pin fins brings more area of higher 120578Since the contact area between the coolant and the pin finis increasing along with the 119863119889 augmenting bring aboutmore heat transmisson But it cannot fairly show the coolingenhancement induced by pin fins because Case 6 seemsto have the highest value of cooling effectiveness In otherwords for different cases a weighted variable should be
imported to evaluate the comprehensive temperature on theinner wall
Consequently 119879ave is defined as area weighted averagetemperature on the inner wall its expression is representedas follows
120578 =119879119898minus 119879119908

where119860119908is the area of the inner wall 119894 is the number of wall
mesh and 119899 is the total number of meshThe area weighted average temperature is used to study
the value of comprehensive temperature and the value of119879ave is able to evaluate the performance of impinging coolingFor all the ten cases without mist the minimum value ofTave is 117446K appearing in Case 6 which agrees with thedescription of cooling effectiveness
43 Effect of Mist Added in Impinging Coolant Mist withuniform droplet size and mass of 5 120583m and 0003 kgs isinjected to the cooling chamber together with the air fromthe inlet surface As documented and mentioned in theintroduction injectingmist into the air can improve the effectof cooling The small water dropletsrsquo trajectories from thecoolant inlet can be seen in Figure 7
Figure 7 shows that the droplets impact the inner wallwhich moved with the coolant jet from the impinging holeAll the droplets evaporate in the domain between 119885 =
350mm and 119885 = 700mm along the 119911-axis in the coolingchamber However the droplets exit in different times in dif-ferent cases and have some transformation in different pin finstructures Therefore the distance moved by droplets couldgenerate different performance of cooling and temperaturedistribution
To explain the effect of mist added in the impingingcooling comparison of the 119879ave in different cases is givenin Figure 8 including all the cases with and without mistFurther data analysis in Figure 8 shows that after the mistis taken into impinging cooling chamber the value of Tavehas a decreased range from 019 K to 2686K comparedwith the situation without mist Through the combination ofmist cooling and impinging cooling the inner wall obtained896K of the average 119879ave decrease It is observed that thebest case without mist is the Case 6 indeed as mentionedin previous section and the value is 117446K which has adecrease of 3877 K than Case 1 As the same when dropletsare injected into the coolant Case 6 still obtained the lowestarea weighted average temperature
A more data analysis reveals that there is no obviouspressure drop while importing various pin fin structures andtaking mist into the coolant In consequence it is a goodmethod to get a lower temperature through using pin finstructure and mist cooling without excess pressure loss

configurations and the result shows that the elliptic pin finshave a strong effect on discharge behavior as well as oncooling effectiveness and heat transfer
In the literature [9 10] experimental and numericalstudies of heat transfer performance in channels with pin finswere conducted by airThe results show that the channelswithpin fins had a heat transfer coefficient that was twice that ofthe channels without pin fins The numerical computationsshowed the same trends as experimentally observed by theheat transfer enhancement through pin fin structure adoptedHeat transfer from pin fin parameters is a subject of highimportance with many engineering applications
Most of the above works are based on geometric param-eters of the cooling structure in real applications newcooling techniques are anotherway to get enhancement of theconventional impinging cooling Wang and Li [11] proposeda promising technology to enhance air film cooling with mist(small water droplets) injection Each droplet plays the partof cooling sink and it flies a distance before it completelyvaporizes And the droplet evaporation plays an importantrole in reducing the temperature near the hot wall
Li and Wang [12] conducted their first numerical simu-lations of airmist film cooling They showed that injectingsome appropriate mist in the air could enhance the coolingeffectiveness to about 30ndash50 After that they [13] continueda more fundamental study on investigating the effect ofvarious models on the computational results including theturbulence models dispersed phase modeling and differentforces models (Saffman thermophoresis and Brownian)
Whereas all the studies mentioned above about mistcooling focus on film cooling style and the previous litera-tures about impinging cooling and pin fin cooling structuremainly focus on gas turbine blades structure electronicequipment and many other channel flow Although Yu et al[14] introduce the mist into impinging cooling technologythe cooling structure does not contain pin fin structureAnd those literatures about pin fins focus on some pinfin structures such as cross-sectional shape detached spacebetween the pin tip and the end wall which is a limited workabout the impinging characteristics through combining pinfin structures mist cooling and impingement
Based on the aforementioned cooling structure and mistfilm cooling mechanisms limited work is given to investigatethe impinging cooling performance in this study A modelof a one-fourth cylinder is designed which could simplifythe impinging structure and performance used in gas turbinetransition pieceThe objective of this paper is to useCFD sim-ulation to investigate impinging cooling performance withpin fin importing to the coolant chamber Two significanteffect factors in combination with impinging cooling and pinfin structure were investigated using numerical simulationsAll the cases were simulated in two situations one is only airin the coolant and another is air with mist together in thecooling chamber which is helpful in getting a better coolingeffectiveness
Accordingly the main objectives of the investigation areas follows (1) 119863119889 analysis with the given diameter ofimpinging hole 119889 = 1026mm pin fin diameter ratio 119863119889has been numerically studied in three different values 1 15
and 2 (2) Detached space analysis three different detachedspaces from pin fin array to impinging hole array (mark as119871 = 34 51 and 68mm) were simulated (3) Comparison ofresults the temperature of the inner wall cooling effective-ness and contours of velocity in different cases (4) Discussthe impinging cooling performance between single-phaseand two-phase flow in the cooling chamber with importappropriate mist (small droplets) into the coolant (air)
2 Numerical Model
21 Geometric Configuration The transition piece was sim-plified to a one-fourth cylinder which could simulate thetransition piecersquos structure and performance [15 16] Thediscrete coolant jets forming a protective film chamber onthe side of transition piece are drawn from the upstreamcompressor in an operational gas turbine engineThe coolantflows fed through internal passages with surface holesFrom the supply plenum the coolants ejected through threediscrete impinging holes over the external boundary layeragainst the local high thermal conduction on the other sideof the transition piece In the downstream of these impingingholes three pin fins were brought into the cooling chamber Aschematic diagram of the flow domain along with boundaryconditions and dimensions is given in Figure 1
As shown in the figure the one-fourth cylindermodel hastwo layers of chambers with a length of 1050mm and theouter chamber is right the domain full of coolant which isour major research object The dimensions of the chambersare respectively defined as an outer radius and an innerradius of 200mm and 162mm In the diagram one side ofthe coolant chamber is closed contrarily both sides of themainstream chamber as the inner chamber are opened inwhich gas could flow through from one side to the otherThe three holes distributed uniformly in one row along thecircumferential direction in the surface of the outer wall Thedistance between holes and the pin fins ismarked as a variableparameter 119871 The diameter of all the impinging holes is about1026mm that is 119889 = 1026mm Three groups of pin findiameter ratio 119863119889 (where 119863 means pin fin diameter) havebeen constituted which is set to be 1 15 and 2

23 Boundary Condition Setup In the case of impingingcooling simulation boundary conditions are applied tospecify the flow and thermal variables Figure 1(a) disclosesthe boundary conditions used in the model in which thecoolant and gas are moving along respectively in the twolayers of chambers in opposite directions In the coolingchamber the coolant is considered to be two situationsOne is single-phase analysis The coolant is only air whilevelocity and temperature are set on the jet holes withpressure on the exit Another situation is two-phase flowin the cooling chamber which is considered mist added inthe air Additional boundary conditions for mist injectionsare specified The size of droplets is uniformly given as 5microns and the masses of water droplets are 0003 kgs Thesimilar conditions have been successfully used in film coolingtechnology by Subbuswamy and Li [22] The solid walls areassigned as ldquoreflectrdquo boundary condition which enables thedroplets to elastically rebound once hitting thewallThe outerinlet is specified as ldquoescaperdquo boundary condition for dropletsso that they can enter into the cooling chamber from the inletsurface

is confirmed based on several real applications Uniformmass flux rate of 3146 kgs is assigned to the inlet of the gaschamber and other details about boundary conditions arelisted in Table 1 Assumption of the solid wall of the modelis formed with a material of Nimonic 263 which could getthe information from the Internet [23]
3 Meshing and Simulation Procedures
To conduct numerical simulations structured grids are usedin this study As shown in Figure 2 the structuredmeshes aregenerated to two domains which is on behalf of the coolantair chamber and gas chamber separately In the 3D cases thegrid sensitivity research started from 150000 meshes untilthe temperature result changed less than 1 when the totalnumber of the cells for the 3D domains is about 500000 Allthe cases concerning different parameters and conditions aremeshed with the same proper setup on the boundary and gotthe similar total mesh number Local grid refinement is usednear the holes and pin fin regions For all cases all nodes onthe inner wall surface have the 119910 plus value smaller than 300
This study is using a commercial CFD code based onthe control-volume method ANSYS-FLUENT 121 which isused in order to predict temperature impingement coolingeffectiveness and velocity fields All runs were made on a PC

holes at 119885 = 525mm After the coolant strikes the innerwall there are vortexes formedThe jet impingement and thevortex formed out of the coolant flow cool the surface of theinner wallThe impinging flow does not detach from the wallbut creates three regions around the impinging jet whichare called free jet region stagnation flow region and walljet region just as is mentioned in [24] The coolant-affectedwall jet region is displayed as light-colored area which canbe recognized around the red free jet region from each ofthe Cases 1 to 10 And the cold film layer with a thickness ofabout half jet diameter blankets the inner wall surface quiteefficiently around the wall jet region
Case 1 was set to be a cooling structure without pin finsComparing Case 1 with other cases in Figure 3 it can beobviously found that most of those cases have more faster
velocity areas in the coolant chamber than that in Case 1With speed increasing higher convective heat efficiency canbe obtained due to more heat that had gone away with thecoolant

1 presents the different flow structure around the pin finunder the circumstances of three sorts of 119871 Note that afterthe coolant strikes the inner wall it meets the pin fin andis obstructed and separated by it thus vortexes take shapebetween the outer wall and inner wall So that coefficientof heat transfer were increased with the increasing of thetempestuously flow of the vortexes But in contour of Case4 velocity in the upstream flow of the pin fins is not fasterthan that in the downstream That is because when the pinfins are shifted downstream from the geometric center of thejet the space between impinging hole and pin fin gets furtherso that the fast coolant could not get in touch with the pin finIn a nutshell the rising of distance 119871 clearly reduces the roleof pin fins in forming turbulence for 119863119889 = 2 But for Cases8ndash10 while119863119889 = 2 as well as Cases 5ndash7 when119863119889 = 15 themedian of 119871 could be the best because turbulence formed ismore sufficient when 119871 = 51 seen in the contours

temperature which is described in detail on the temperaturelegend Overall it could be concluded that the yellow areain Cases 2ndash10 is larger than that in Case 1 that means thepin fin structure imported to the impingement cooling styleenhances the impinging cooling effectiveness

One important factor that must be considered in thedesign of pin fin is the detached spaces from pin fin arrayto impinging holes array The pin fins should be placed in asuitable position in the downstream flow in order to acquireenough turbulence Therefore Figures 5(a) 5(b) and 5(c)provided temperature values along 119885 direction at Line 1which is in the middle of the inner wall just as shown inFigure 5 They represent temperature comparison of threekinds of 119871 in different119863119889 cases separately It can be observedfrom Figure 5(a) that the temperature becomes lower withthe decrease in detached space and the lowest temperatureis obtained when 119871 = 34mm The 119871 = 34mm cases alsocan be proved to be the best distance in Figure 5(c) But inFigure 5(b) there is a little variation in the upstream where 119885
belongs to 0ndash05m and the cases with distance of 119871 = 51mmcould get a lower average temperature
The cooling effectiveness (120578) [22] is used to examine theperformance of impinging cooling The definition of 120578 is
120578 =119879119898minus 119879119908

in the diameter of pin fins brings more area of higher 120578Since the contact area between the coolant and the pin finis increasing along with the 119863119889 augmenting bring aboutmore heat transmisson But it cannot fairly show the coolingenhancement induced by pin fins because Case 6 seemsto have the highest value of cooling effectiveness In otherwords for different cases a weighted variable should be
imported to evaluate the comprehensive temperature on theinner wall
Consequently 119879ave is defined as area weighted averagetemperature on the inner wall its expression is representedas follows
120578 =119879119898minus 119879119908

Advances in Mathematical Physics 9
where119860119908is the area of the inner wall 119894 is the number of wall
mesh and 119899 is the total number of meshThe area weighted average temperature is used to study
the value of comprehensive temperature and the value of119879ave is able to evaluate the performance of impinging coolingFor all the ten cases without mist the minimum value ofTave is 117446K appearing in Case 6 which agrees with thedescription of cooling effectiveness
43 Effect of Mist Added in Impinging Coolant Mist withuniform droplet size and mass of 5 120583m and 0003 kgs isinjected to the cooling chamber together with the air fromthe inlet surface As documented and mentioned in theintroduction injectingmist into the air can improve the effectof cooling The small water dropletsrsquo trajectories from thecoolant inlet can be seen in Figure 7
Figure 7 shows that the droplets impact the inner wallwhich moved with the coolant jet from the impinging holeAll the droplets evaporate in the domain between 119885 =
350mm and 119885 = 700mm along the 119911-axis in the coolingchamber However the droplets exit in different times in dif-ferent cases and have some transformation in different pin finstructures Therefore the distance moved by droplets couldgenerate different performance of cooling and temperaturedistribution
To explain the effect of mist added in the impingingcooling comparison of the 119879ave in different cases is givenin Figure 8 including all the cases with and without mistFurther data analysis in Figure 8 shows that after the mistis taken into impinging cooling chamber the value of Tavehas a decreased range from 019 K to 2686K comparedwith the situation without mist Through the combination ofmist cooling and impinging cooling the inner wall obtained896K of the average 119879ave decrease It is observed that thebest case without mist is the Case 6 indeed as mentionedin previous section and the value is 117446K which has adecrease of 3877 K than Case 1 As the same when dropletsare injected into the coolant Case 6 still obtained the lowestarea weighted average temperature
A more data analysis reveals that there is no obviouspressure drop while importing various pin fin structures andtaking mist into the coolant In consequence it is a goodmethod to get a lower temperature through using pin finstructure and mist cooling without excess pressure loss
5 Conclusion

222 Turbulence Model A wide used turbulence model isthe realizable 119896-120576 turbulence model which is a relativelyrecent development model The term ldquorealizablerdquo means thatthe model satisfies certain mathematical constraints on theReynolds stresses consistent with the physics of turbulentflows [17] The benefit of selecting this model is that it moreaccurately predicts the spreading rate of jets and it alsoprovides superior performance for rotation separation andrecirculation flows In this model the 119896 equation is the sameas in RNG model however 119862
120583is not a constant and varies as
a function of mean velocity field and turbulence (009 in log-layer of 119878 (119896120576) = 33 and 005 in shear layer of 119878(119896120576) = 6)The equation is based on a transport equation for the mean-square vorticity fluctuation [18] as follows

23 Boundary Condition Setup In the case of impingingcooling simulation boundary conditions are applied tospecify the flow and thermal variables Figure 1(a) disclosesthe boundary conditions used in the model in which thecoolant and gas are moving along respectively in the twolayers of chambers in opposite directions In the coolingchamber the coolant is considered to be two situationsOne is single-phase analysis The coolant is only air whilevelocity and temperature are set on the jet holes withpressure on the exit Another situation is two-phase flowin the cooling chamber which is considered mist added inthe air Additional boundary conditions for mist injectionsare specified The size of droplets is uniformly given as 5microns and the masses of water droplets are 0003 kgs Thesimilar conditions have been successfully used in film coolingtechnology by Subbuswamy and Li [22] The solid walls areassigned as ldquoreflectrdquo boundary condition which enables thedroplets to elastically rebound once hitting thewallThe outerinlet is specified as ldquoescaperdquo boundary condition for dropletsso that they can enter into the cooling chamber from the inletsurface

To conduct numerical simulations structured grids are usedin this study As shown in Figure 2 the structuredmeshes aregenerated to two domains which is on behalf of the coolantair chamber and gas chamber separately In the 3D cases thegrid sensitivity research started from 150000 meshes untilthe temperature result changed less than 1 when the totalnumber of the cells for the 3D domains is about 500000 Allthe cases concerning different parameters and conditions aremeshed with the same proper setup on the boundary and gotthe similar total mesh number Local grid refinement is usednear the holes and pin fin regions For all cases all nodes onthe inner wall surface have the 119910 plus value smaller than 300
This study is using a commercial CFD code based onthe control-volume method ANSYS-FLUENT 121 which isused in order to predict temperature impingement coolingeffectiveness and velocity fields All runs were made on a PC

holes at 119885 = 525mm After the coolant strikes the innerwall there are vortexes formedThe jet impingement and thevortex formed out of the coolant flow cool the surface of theinner wallThe impinging flow does not detach from the wallbut creates three regions around the impinging jet whichare called free jet region stagnation flow region and walljet region just as is mentioned in [24] The coolant-affectedwall jet region is displayed as light-colored area which canbe recognized around the red free jet region from each ofthe Cases 1 to 10 And the cold film layer with a thickness ofabout half jet diameter blankets the inner wall surface quiteefficiently around the wall jet region
Case 1 was set to be a cooling structure without pin finsComparing Case 1 with other cases in Figure 3 it can beobviously found that most of those cases have more faster
velocity areas in the coolant chamber than that in Case 1With speed increasing higher convective heat efficiency canbe obtained due to more heat that had gone away with thecoolant
In the red dashed wireframe of Figure 3 local regioncomparison among Cases 2ndash4 which have the same 119863119889 =
1 presents the different flow structure around the pin finunder the circumstances of three sorts of 119871 Note that afterthe coolant strikes the inner wall it meets the pin fin andis obstructed and separated by it thus vortexes take shapebetween the outer wall and inner wall So that coefficientof heat transfer were increased with the increasing of thetempestuously flow of the vortexes But in contour of Case4 velocity in the upstream flow of the pin fins is not fasterthan that in the downstream That is because when the pinfins are shifted downstream from the geometric center of thejet the space between impinging hole and pin fin gets furtherso that the fast coolant could not get in touch with the pin finIn a nutshell the rising of distance 119871 clearly reduces the roleof pin fins in forming turbulence for 119863119889 = 2 But for Cases8ndash10 while119863119889 = 2 as well as Cases 5ndash7 when119863119889 = 15 themedian of 119871 could be the best because turbulence formed ismore sufficient when 119871 = 51 seen in the contours

temperature which is described in detail on the temperaturelegend Overall it could be concluded that the yellow areain Cases 2ndash10 is larger than that in Case 1 that means thepin fin structure imported to the impingement cooling styleenhances the impinging cooling effectiveness

One important factor that must be considered in thedesign of pin fin is the detached spaces from pin fin arrayto impinging holes array The pin fins should be placed in asuitable position in the downstream flow in order to acquireenough turbulence Therefore Figures 5(a) 5(b) and 5(c)provided temperature values along 119885 direction at Line 1which is in the middle of the inner wall just as shown inFigure 5 They represent temperature comparison of threekinds of 119871 in different119863119889 cases separately It can be observedfrom Figure 5(a) that the temperature becomes lower withthe decrease in detached space and the lowest temperatureis obtained when 119871 = 34mm The 119871 = 34mm cases alsocan be proved to be the best distance in Figure 5(c) But inFigure 5(b) there is a little variation in the upstream where 119885
belongs to 0ndash05m and the cases with distance of 119871 = 51mmcould get a lower average temperature
The cooling effectiveness (120578) [22] is used to examine theperformance of impinging cooling The definition of 120578 is
120578 =119879119898minus 119879119908

and 119879119888is the temperature of coolant The definition provides
an appropriate parameter for investigating impinging coolingwhen different pin fin structures are employed Figure 6shows the value profile of 120578 through the comparison ofCases 2 3 and 4 and it is obvious that appropriate increase

in the diameter of pin fins brings more area of higher 120578Since the contact area between the coolant and the pin finis increasing along with the 119863119889 augmenting bring aboutmore heat transmisson But it cannot fairly show the coolingenhancement induced by pin fins because Case 6 seemsto have the highest value of cooling effectiveness In otherwords for different cases a weighted variable should be
imported to evaluate the comprehensive temperature on theinner wall
Consequently 119879ave is defined as area weighted averagetemperature on the inner wall its expression is representedas follows
120578 =119879119898minus 119879119908
119879119898minus 119879119888

Advances in Mathematical Physics 9
where119860119908is the area of the inner wall 119894 is the number of wall
mesh and 119899 is the total number of meshThe area weighted average temperature is used to study
the value of comprehensive temperature and the value of119879ave is able to evaluate the performance of impinging coolingFor all the ten cases without mist the minimum value ofTave is 117446K appearing in Case 6 which agrees with thedescription of cooling effectiveness
43 Effect of Mist Added in Impinging Coolant Mist withuniform droplet size and mass of 5 120583m and 0003 kgs isinjected to the cooling chamber together with the air fromthe inlet surface As documented and mentioned in theintroduction injectingmist into the air can improve the effectof cooling The small water dropletsrsquo trajectories from thecoolant inlet can be seen in Figure 7
Figure 7 shows that the droplets impact the inner wallwhich moved with the coolant jet from the impinging holeAll the droplets evaporate in the domain between 119885 =
350mm and 119885 = 700mm along the 119911-axis in the coolingchamber However the droplets exit in different times in dif-ferent cases and have some transformation in different pin finstructures Therefore the distance moved by droplets couldgenerate different performance of cooling and temperaturedistribution
To explain the effect of mist added in the impingingcooling comparison of the 119879ave in different cases is givenin Figure 8 including all the cases with and without mistFurther data analysis in Figure 8 shows that after the mistis taken into impinging cooling chamber the value of Tavehas a decreased range from 019 K to 2686K comparedwith the situation without mist Through the combination ofmist cooling and impinging cooling the inner wall obtained896K of the average 119879ave decrease It is observed that thebest case without mist is the Case 6 indeed as mentionedin previous section and the value is 117446K which has adecrease of 3877 K than Case 1 As the same when dropletsare injected into the coolant Case 6 still obtained the lowestarea weighted average temperature
A more data analysis reveals that there is no obviouspressure drop while importing various pin fin structures andtaking mist into the coolant In consequence it is a goodmethod to get a lower temperature through using pin finstructure and mist cooling without excess pressure loss
5 Conclusion

To conduct numerical simulations structured grids are usedin this study As shown in Figure 2 the structuredmeshes aregenerated to two domains which is on behalf of the coolantair chamber and gas chamber separately In the 3D cases thegrid sensitivity research started from 150000 meshes untilthe temperature result changed less than 1 when the totalnumber of the cells for the 3D domains is about 500000 Allthe cases concerning different parameters and conditions aremeshed with the same proper setup on the boundary and gotthe similar total mesh number Local grid refinement is usednear the holes and pin fin regions For all cases all nodes onthe inner wall surface have the 119910 plus value smaller than 300
This study is using a commercial CFD code based onthe control-volume method ANSYS-FLUENT 121 which isused in order to predict temperature impingement coolingeffectiveness and velocity fields All runs were made on a PC

One important factor that must be considered in thedesign of pin fin is the detached spaces from pin fin arrayto impinging holes array The pin fins should be placed in asuitable position in the downstream flow in order to acquireenough turbulence Therefore Figures 5(a) 5(b) and 5(c)provided temperature values along 119885 direction at Line 1which is in the middle of the inner wall just as shown inFigure 5 They represent temperature comparison of threekinds of 119871 in different119863119889 cases separately It can be observedfrom Figure 5(a) that the temperature becomes lower withthe decrease in detached space and the lowest temperatureis obtained when 119871 = 34mm The 119871 = 34mm cases alsocan be proved to be the best distance in Figure 5(c) But inFigure 5(b) there is a little variation in the upstream where 119885
belongs to 0ndash05m and the cases with distance of 119871 = 51mmcould get a lower average temperature
The cooling effectiveness (120578) [22] is used to examine theperformance of impinging cooling The definition of 120578 is

in the diameter of pin fins brings more area of higher 120578Since the contact area between the coolant and the pin finis increasing along with the 119863119889 augmenting bring aboutmore heat transmisson But it cannot fairly show the coolingenhancement induced by pin fins because Case 6 seemsto have the highest value of cooling effectiveness In otherwords for different cases a weighted variable should be
imported to evaluate the comprehensive temperature on theinner wall
Consequently 119879ave is defined as area weighted averagetemperature on the inner wall its expression is representedas follows
120578 =119879119898minus 119879119908
119879119898minus 119879119888

Advances in Mathematical Physics 9
where119860119908is the area of the inner wall 119894 is the number of wall
mesh and 119899 is the total number of meshThe area weighted average temperature is used to study
the value of comprehensive temperature and the value of119879ave is able to evaluate the performance of impinging coolingFor all the ten cases without mist the minimum value ofTave is 117446K appearing in Case 6 which agrees with thedescription of cooling effectiveness
43 Effect of Mist Added in Impinging Coolant Mist withuniform droplet size and mass of 5 120583m and 0003 kgs isinjected to the cooling chamber together with the air fromthe inlet surface As documented and mentioned in theintroduction injectingmist into the air can improve the effectof cooling The small water dropletsrsquo trajectories from thecoolant inlet can be seen in Figure 7
Figure 7 shows that the droplets impact the inner wallwhich moved with the coolant jet from the impinging holeAll the droplets evaporate in the domain between 119885 =
350mm and 119885 = 700mm along the 119911-axis in the coolingchamber However the droplets exit in different times in dif-ferent cases and have some transformation in different pin finstructures Therefore the distance moved by droplets couldgenerate different performance of cooling and temperaturedistribution
To explain the effect of mist added in the impingingcooling comparison of the 119879ave in different cases is givenin Figure 8 including all the cases with and without mistFurther data analysis in Figure 8 shows that after the mistis taken into impinging cooling chamber the value of Tavehas a decreased range from 019 K to 2686K comparedwith the situation without mist Through the combination ofmist cooling and impinging cooling the inner wall obtained896K of the average 119879ave decrease It is observed that thebest case without mist is the Case 6 indeed as mentionedin previous section and the value is 117446K which has adecrease of 3877 K than Case 1 As the same when dropletsare injected into the coolant Case 6 still obtained the lowestarea weighted average temperature
A more data analysis reveals that there is no obviouspressure drop while importing various pin fin structures andtaking mist into the coolant In consequence it is a goodmethod to get a lower temperature through using pin finstructure and mist cooling without excess pressure loss
5 Conclusion
A one-fourth cylinder double chamber model with a singlerow of impinging holes in the outer wall was simplified fromthe gas turbine transition piece and its operating conditionsselected in this paper are featured by high temperaturehigh pressure and high velocity of coolant A completethree-dimensional numerical simulation is employed withdifferent pin fin structures adopted in the impinging coolingMist cooling technology taken into the impinging cooling istested and investigated And it has been proven that the pinfins could enhance the cooling effectiveness without excesspressure loss The temperature could obtain a lower value

120578 =119879119898minus 119879119908
119879119898minus 119879119888
(8)
where 120578 is impinging cooling effectiveness 119879119898is mainstream
temperature 119879119908is absolute temperature on the inner wall
and 119879119888is the temperature of coolant The definition provides
an appropriate parameter for investigating impinging coolingwhen different pin fin structures are employed Figure 6shows the value profile of 120578 through the comparison ofCases 2 3 and 4 and it is obvious that appropriate increase

Figure 6 Contours of cooling effectiveness
in the diameter of pin fins brings more area of higher 120578Since the contact area between the coolant and the pin finis increasing along with the 119863119889 augmenting bring aboutmore heat transmisson But it cannot fairly show the coolingenhancement induced by pin fins because Case 6 seemsto have the highest value of cooling effectiveness In otherwords for different cases a weighted variable should be
imported to evaluate the comprehensive temperature on theinner wall
Consequently 119879ave is defined as area weighted averagetemperature on the inner wall its expression is representedas follows
120578 =119879119898minus 119879119908
119879119898minus 119879119888

where119860119908is the area of the inner wall 119894 is the number of wall
mesh and 119899 is the total number of meshThe area weighted average temperature is used to study
the value of comprehensive temperature and the value of119879ave is able to evaluate the performance of impinging coolingFor all the ten cases without mist the minimum value ofTave is 117446K appearing in Case 6 which agrees with thedescription of cooling effectiveness
43 Effect of Mist Added in Impinging Coolant Mist withuniform droplet size and mass of 5 120583m and 0003 kgs isinjected to the cooling chamber together with the air fromthe inlet surface As documented and mentioned in theintroduction injectingmist into the air can improve the effectof cooling The small water dropletsrsquo trajectories from thecoolant inlet can be seen in Figure 7
Figure 7 shows that the droplets impact the inner wallwhich moved with the coolant jet from the impinging holeAll the droplets evaporate in the domain between 119885 =
350mm and 119885 = 700mm along the 119911-axis in the coolingchamber However the droplets exit in different times in dif-ferent cases and have some transformation in different pin finstructures Therefore the distance moved by droplets couldgenerate different performance of cooling and temperaturedistribution
To explain the effect of mist added in the impingingcooling comparison of the 119879ave in different cases is givenin Figure 8 including all the cases with and without mistFurther data analysis in Figure 8 shows that after the mistis taken into impinging cooling chamber the value of Tavehas a decreased range from 019 K to 2686K comparedwith the situation without mist Through the combination ofmist cooling and impinging cooling the inner wall obtained896K of the average 119879ave decrease It is observed that thebest case without mist is the Case 6 indeed as mentionedin previous section and the value is 117446K which has adecrease of 3877 K than Case 1 As the same when dropletsare injected into the coolant Case 6 still obtained the lowestarea weighted average temperature
A more data analysis reveals that there is no obviouspressure drop while importing various pin fin structures andtaking mist into the coolant In consequence it is a goodmethod to get a lower temperature through using pin finstructure and mist cooling without excess pressure loss
5 Conclusion
A one-fourth cylinder double chamber model with a singlerow of impinging holes in the outer wall was simplified fromthe gas turbine transition piece and its operating conditionsselected in this paper are featured by high temperaturehigh pressure and high velocity of coolant A completethree-dimensional numerical simulation is employed withdifferent pin fin structures adopted in the impinging coolingMist cooling technology taken into the impinging cooling istested and investigated And it has been proven that the pinfins could enhance the cooling effectiveness without excesspressure loss The temperature could obtain a lower value

lower temperature area (blue region) is larger than that inCase 1 which illustrates that the combination of impingingholes and pin fins has a good effect on reducing temperaturein the stagnation flow region For all the Cases from 1 to10 the different colors distribution represents corresponding
temperature which is described in detail on the temperaturelegend Overall it could be concluded that the yellow areain Cases 2ndash10 is larger than that in Case 1 that means thepin fin structure imported to the impingement cooling styleenhances the impinging cooling effectiveness

One important factor that must be considered in thedesign of pin fin is the detached spaces from pin fin arrayto impinging holes array The pin fins should be placed in asuitable position in the downstream flow in order to acquireenough turbulence Therefore Figures 5(a) 5(b) and 5(c)provided temperature values along 119885 direction at Line 1which is in the middle of the inner wall just as shown inFigure 5 They represent temperature comparison of threekinds of 119871 in different119863119889 cases separately It can be observedfrom Figure 5(a) that the temperature becomes lower withthe decrease in detached space and the lowest temperatureis obtained when 119871 = 34mm The 119871 = 34mm cases alsocan be proved to be the best distance in Figure 5(c) But inFigure 5(b) there is a little variation in the upstream where 119885
belongs to 0ndash05m and the cases with distance of 119871 = 51mmcould get a lower average temperature
The cooling effectiveness (120578) [22] is used to examine theperformance of impinging cooling The definition of 120578 is
120578 =119879119898minus 119879119908

temperature 119879119908is absolute temperature on the inner wall
and 119879119888is the temperature of coolant The definition provides
an appropriate parameter for investigating impinging coolingwhen different pin fin structures are employed Figure 6shows the value profile of 120578 through the comparison ofCases 2 3 and 4 and it is obvious that appropriate increase

One important factor that must be considered in thedesign of pin fin is the detached spaces from pin fin arrayto impinging holes array The pin fins should be placed in asuitable position in the downstream flow in order to acquireenough turbulence Therefore Figures 5(a) 5(b) and 5(c)provided temperature values along 119885 direction at Line 1which is in the middle of the inner wall just as shown inFigure 5 They represent temperature comparison of threekinds of 119871 in different119863119889 cases separately It can be observedfrom Figure 5(a) that the temperature becomes lower withthe decrease in detached space and the lowest temperatureis obtained when 119871 = 34mm The 119871 = 34mm cases alsocan be proved to be the best distance in Figure 5(c) But inFigure 5(b) there is a little variation in the upstream where 119885
belongs to 0ndash05m and the cases with distance of 119871 = 51mmcould get a lower average temperature
The cooling effectiveness (120578) [22] is used to examine theperformance of impinging cooling The definition of 120578 is
120578 =119879119898minus 119879119908
119879119898minus 119879119888
(8)
where 120578 is impinging cooling effectiveness 119879119898is mainstream
temperature 119879119908is absolute temperature on the inner wall
and 119879119888is the temperature of coolant The definition provides
an appropriate parameter for investigating impinging coolingwhen different pin fin structures are employed Figure 6shows the value profile of 120578 through the comparison ofCases 2 3 and 4 and it is obvious that appropriate increase

Figure 6 Contours of cooling effectiveness
in the diameter of pin fins brings more area of higher 120578Since the contact area between the coolant and the pin finis increasing along with the 119863119889 augmenting bring aboutmore heat transmisson But it cannot fairly show the coolingenhancement induced by pin fins because Case 6 seemsto have the highest value of cooling effectiveness In otherwords for different cases a weighted variable should be
imported to evaluate the comprehensive temperature on theinner wall
Consequently 119879ave is defined as area weighted averagetemperature on the inner wall its expression is representedas follows
120578 =119879119898minus 119879119908
119879119898minus 119879119888

Advances in Mathematical Physics 9
where119860119908is the area of the inner wall 119894 is the number of wall
mesh and 119899 is the total number of meshThe area weighted average temperature is used to study
the value of comprehensive temperature and the value of119879ave is able to evaluate the performance of impinging coolingFor all the ten cases without mist the minimum value ofTave is 117446K appearing in Case 6 which agrees with thedescription of cooling effectiveness
43 Effect of Mist Added in Impinging Coolant Mist withuniform droplet size and mass of 5 120583m and 0003 kgs isinjected to the cooling chamber together with the air fromthe inlet surface As documented and mentioned in theintroduction injectingmist into the air can improve the effectof cooling The small water dropletsrsquo trajectories from thecoolant inlet can be seen in Figure 7
Figure 7 shows that the droplets impact the inner wallwhich moved with the coolant jet from the impinging holeAll the droplets evaporate in the domain between 119885 =
350mm and 119885 = 700mm along the 119911-axis in the coolingchamber However the droplets exit in different times in dif-ferent cases and have some transformation in different pin finstructures Therefore the distance moved by droplets couldgenerate different performance of cooling and temperaturedistribution
To explain the effect of mist added in the impingingcooling comparison of the 119879ave in different cases is givenin Figure 8 including all the cases with and without mistFurther data analysis in Figure 8 shows that after the mistis taken into impinging cooling chamber the value of Tavehas a decreased range from 019 K to 2686K comparedwith the situation without mist Through the combination ofmist cooling and impinging cooling the inner wall obtained896K of the average 119879ave decrease It is observed that thebest case without mist is the Case 6 indeed as mentionedin previous section and the value is 117446K which has adecrease of 3877 K than Case 1 As the same when dropletsare injected into the coolant Case 6 still obtained the lowestarea weighted average temperature
A more data analysis reveals that there is no obviouspressure drop while importing various pin fin structures andtaking mist into the coolant In consequence it is a goodmethod to get a lower temperature through using pin finstructure and mist cooling without excess pressure loss
5 Conclusion
A one-fourth cylinder double chamber model with a singlerow of impinging holes in the outer wall was simplified fromthe gas turbine transition piece and its operating conditionsselected in this paper are featured by high temperaturehigh pressure and high velocity of coolant A completethree-dimensional numerical simulation is employed withdifferent pin fin structures adopted in the impinging coolingMist cooling technology taken into the impinging cooling istested and investigated And it has been proven that the pinfins could enhance the cooling effectiveness without excesspressure loss The temperature could obtain a lower value

where119860119908is the area of the inner wall 119894 is the number of wall
mesh and 119899 is the total number of meshThe area weighted average temperature is used to study
the value of comprehensive temperature and the value of119879ave is able to evaluate the performance of impinging coolingFor all the ten cases without mist the minimum value ofTave is 117446K appearing in Case 6 which agrees with thedescription of cooling effectiveness
43 Effect of Mist Added in Impinging Coolant Mist withuniform droplet size and mass of 5 120583m and 0003 kgs isinjected to the cooling chamber together with the air fromthe inlet surface As documented and mentioned in theintroduction injectingmist into the air can improve the effectof cooling The small water dropletsrsquo trajectories from thecoolant inlet can be seen in Figure 7
Figure 7 shows that the droplets impact the inner wallwhich moved with the coolant jet from the impinging holeAll the droplets evaporate in the domain between 119885 =
350mm and 119885 = 700mm along the 119911-axis in the coolingchamber However the droplets exit in different times in dif-ferent cases and have some transformation in different pin finstructures Therefore the distance moved by droplets couldgenerate different performance of cooling and temperaturedistribution
To explain the effect of mist added in the impingingcooling comparison of the 119879ave in different cases is givenin Figure 8 including all the cases with and without mistFurther data analysis in Figure 8 shows that after the mistis taken into impinging cooling chamber the value of Tavehas a decreased range from 019 K to 2686K comparedwith the situation without mist Through the combination ofmist cooling and impinging cooling the inner wall obtained896K of the average 119879ave decrease It is observed that thebest case without mist is the Case 6 indeed as mentionedin previous section and the value is 117446K which has adecrease of 3877 K than Case 1 As the same when dropletsare injected into the coolant Case 6 still obtained the lowestarea weighted average temperature
A more data analysis reveals that there is no obviouspressure drop while importing various pin fin structures andtaking mist into the coolant In consequence it is a goodmethod to get a lower temperature through using pin finstructure and mist cooling without excess pressure loss
5 Conclusion
A one-fourth cylinder double chamber model with a singlerow of impinging holes in the outer wall was simplified fromthe gas turbine transition piece and its operating conditionsselected in this paper are featured by high temperaturehigh pressure and high velocity of coolant A completethree-dimensional numerical simulation is employed withdifferent pin fin structures adopted in the impinging coolingMist cooling technology taken into the impinging cooling istested and investigated And it has been proven that the pinfins could enhance the cooling effectiveness without excesspressure loss The temperature could obtain a lower value

Figure 7 Distributions of droplets particle track in different caseswith uniform droplet mass and diameter
when injecting mist into the cooling chamber The optimalcombination of the pin fin parameters and mist importedbrings the optimum impinging cooling efficiency withoutexcess pressure drop and the lowest value of Tave has adecrease of 4265 K which is a considerable value in coolingthe hot componentsThat is to say the procedure and result ofthe CFD simulation in this paper have some practical value
