dc.description.abstractThis study explores the convective cooling features of a hot rotating cylinder by using the combined utilization of cross-flow on the upper part and multi-jet impingement on the bottom part. The analysis is performed for a range of jet Reynolds number (Re) values (between 100 and 500), cross-flow Re values (between 100 and 1000), rotational Re values (between −1000 and 1000), cylinder size (between 0.25wj and 3wj in radius), and center placement in the y direction (between −1.5wj and 1.5wj). When the cylinder is not rotating, the average Nu increment becomes 102% at the highest jet Re, while it becomes 140.82% at the highest cross-flow Re. When rations become active, the impacts of cross-flow and jet impingement cooling become slight. As compared to a motionless cylinder, at the highest speed of the rotating cylinder, the average Nu rises by about 357% to 391%. For clockwise rotation of the cylinder, a lager cylinder results an increase in the average Nu by about 86.3%. At the lowest and highest cross-flow impinging jet Re value combinations, cooling performance improvement becomes a factor of 8.1 and 2, respectively. When the size of the cylinder changes, entropy generation becomes significant, while the vertical location of the cylinder has a slight impact on entropy generation. © 2024 Author(s).
