Convective heat transfer characteristics from combined mechanical and supply pulsed radial reattaching jets

CPRJR heat transfer can be characterized as a frequency interference of mechanical and supply pulsation effects. Significant improvement, up to 72%, over the corresponding mechanical pulsation case was found to occur for a supply-to-mechanical ratio of 3:1 with a phase angle of 0°. In general, the increased heat transfer rates were associated with the an increase in surface-directed momentum caused by increased cycle “on” mass flow rate and corresponding entrainment.
