โฆ Synopsis
The influence of nozzle selection and consequent impact of momentum thickness is rarely investigated in heated horizontal plane jets. In the present work an experimental study is performed using a two dimensional converging nozzle and then by attaching a channel to the nozzle with air issued at a moderate Reynolds number of 4000 and at an inlet temperature of 60 ยฐC. A hotwire anemometer is used to measure velocity and temperature fields. The ratio of heat to momentum transport is 1.33 for nozzle jets and 1.4 for channel jets. Half widths based on mean excess temperature and velocity is higher for channel jets. The influence of buoyancy is negligible for the present case. But the spread of temperature as a scalar is important in the transport process.

Pulsed plasma jet igniters have been shown to be effective in enhancing the flame speed of combustible mixtures of gases. The mechanism by which this enhancement is achieved is somewhat unclear, although the consensus of recent investigations is that the possible mechanism involves the inherent gene
Experiments were conducted to investigate the acoustic forcing of a thin aluminum plate by low-speed jets. The Mach numbers of the jets were 0)1 and 0)2. The results indicate that the structural response is due to two causes. One is the low-frequency forced excitation of the thin plate due to the le
