    The influences of perforated-baffles on the local Nusselt number (Nu) and thermo-hydraulic behaviors were comprehensively studied using thermochromic liquid crystal sheet. The perforated-baffles were designed in two forms: perforated-baffle (PB) and perforated-baffle with square wings (SW-PBs). Transverse solid baffles (TBs) were also tested for an assessment. All baffles had an identical height of 12 mm (e/H = 0.3). Experimental results showed that SW-PBs offered better Nu than PBs. It is also seen that PBs and SW-PBs caused lower pressure loss than TBs by around 20.49% and 13.98%, respectively. The reduction of friction loss was primarily due to the baffle perforation. In addition, the PBs yielded the thermal performance factors (TPF) up to 1.01 at the lowest Reynolds number of 6000.

    Heat transfer augmentation by swirling impinging jets delivered through twisted tetra-lobed nozzles (T-LT) is reported. Impinging jets delivered through a circular nozzle (CT: non-swirling jet) and a tetra-lobed nozzle (LT: non-swirling jet) were also tested for comparison. Experimental results showed that Nusselt numbers of impinging jets delivered through all nozzles were increased with Re and decreasing L/Dh. At a given jet Reynolds number (Re) and a jet-to-plate spacing (L/Dh), the impinging jets delivered through the twisted tetra-lobed nozzles and tetra-lobed nozzle yielded superior heat transfer to that delivered by a circular nozzle. For the jets delivered through the twisted tetra-lobed nozzles, the stagnation Nusselt number (Nu) was decreased while the radial heat transfer distribution was improved with decreasing twist ratios of the nozzle. For the investigated range, the jet delivered through the twisted tetra-lobed nozzle with twist ratio of 4.0 yielded a maximal average Nusselt number. Furthermore, the twisted tetra-lobed nozzles (T-LT) with twist ratios of y/Dh = 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 generate higher heat transfer rates than those of the circular nozzle (CT: non-swirling jet) by around 27.7%, 25.0%, 21.6% and 19.3%, respectively.
