The cooling of the surface using liquid jets is studied using the Nusselt distribution profile. The pattern of the Nusselt profile becomes non-uniform when some parameters are wrongly selected. This may lead to heating of some locations instead of cooling of the surface. Thus research for keeping the Nusselt profile uniform is a primary task. The Nusselt profile depends mainly on the Reynolds number (Re) and nozzle-target spacing (Z/d). Therefore, the current study numerically evaluates the value of constant, which is a ratio of Reynolds number and nozzle-target spacing (C = Re/ (Z/d)) up to which the Nusselt profile remains uniform. The value of constant C is found to be 7400. Also, the present work uses a computational model for study, which is validated using grid independence test and turbulence modeling.</p> ER -
