Abstract
Jet impingement is considered to be an effective technique to enhance the heat transfer rate, and it finds many applications in the scientific and industrial horizons. The objective of this paper is to summarize heat transfer enhancement through different jet impingement methods and provide a platform for identifying the scope for future work. This study reviews various experimental and numerical studies of jet impingement methods for thermal-hydraulic improvement of heat transfer surfaces. The jet impingement methods considered in the present work include shapes of the target surface, the jet/nozzle–target surface distance, extended jet holes, nanofluids, and the use of phase change materials (PCMs). The present work also includes both single-jet and multiple-jet impingement studies for different industrial applications.
