Jet Impingement Theory

[feyd83]

Anyone have any suggestions on where to start with some jet impingement theory reading? My campus has a ton of different cnc mills that I'm dying to try, but I want to have a plan before I ask if non-ME students can use them. I'm thinking GPU cooling since Cathar's (Hydra was it?) project has been on hold. I've always wanted to try making my own blocks, and if I can get use of the CNC mills on campus I might as well use their precision.

Plus I'm just kinda curious about the subject. ;)

use google . you should get more than 10k hits

I was going to do that when I get off work, just wanted to know if anyone had any sources they particulary liked, or thought was helpful.

this is cathars thread during the building of the cascade.

Im sure you could find more on the site if you searched around...but I'm at work...and figured I'd let you do the legwork.

You might check overclockers Australia as well.

I'd suggest googling for most of it. There is just to many to list here. You'll find alot of info from studies and research done at M.I.T. and associated Universties. NASA has some info too. Most of the good ones will come in a PDF form with graphs and all.

Here's one Cathar shared at one time.

I lost a few others I had so their in my memory as of now. They delt with different plates, nozzle shapes ect.

I believe it was Mhyve65? I know I'm wrong there, used to be on amdmb.com. He had a few in depth articles about heat transfer.

Then of course BillA has done alot of the research you can always refer to on his site.

You're at Georgia Tech, right? Go to the ME department, find the professor(s) who specialize in heat transfer, specifically convection. Ask them to recommend some reading. What are you studying? Have you had any thermo or heat transfer classes?

Once you've gotten the advice from the heat transfer and convection gurus on campus (I'll bet they're way smarter than I am) take a look at the library in the journals. There has been tons of research on convection in the past 20 years, and your library should have a lot of good information.

Also, see if you can get access to any FEA (finite element analysis) programs such as ANSYS. If you're really serious about this, simulations are much better and cheaper to use than prototypes/testing.

I'm hoping I might be able to get some grad students or profs interested enough in the subject to do some research. Unfortunately I'm wanting to do this late in the semester, and I'm going to be leaving for Germany in a month, and I'll be there for 2 months. (I'm going to be stuck w/o my WC'd PC for the summer :cry: ) So I think I'm going to have to wait till fall semester. Thanks for all the advice though.
