Abstract

Impinging flame jets are used widely in industry and manufacturing because of their high heat transport characteristics and tight spatial control of the heating. The technique is used in heating or re-heating of stock in the metals and glass industries, and in welding and soldering operations. However, these impinging flame jets are not well understood, and few studies reporting local and average heat transfer characteristics exist in the open literature which might be used by designers (Baukal and Gebhart, 1995a, 199b). The purpose of this research is to experimentally characterize and correlate the local and average heat transfer behavior of impinging diffusion flame jets. As the proposed research will conclude in early 1998, the results of work thus far completed are given below, along with plans for future progress.
