Abstract
Jet impingement cooling has long been used in the industries for controlling temperature in material processing, cooling equipments and recently in cryosurgery. Jet impingement cooling has been identitied to be useful in the electronics cooling as well due to its high heat removal capabilities. Electronic systems have now grown smaller resulting in very high heat generation compared to previous systems, requIrIng new cooling solutions such as jet impingement cooling. Jet impingement cooling in electronic packages is carried out numerically llsing a commercial finite volume code called FLUENTâ„¢. The local heat transfer coefficients on a heat source due to a normally impinging, axisymmetric, confined and submerged liquid jet are investigated. Numerical predictions are made for nozzle diameter (d) of 3.18 111m at several nozzle to target plate spacing (Hid) ranging from I to 8. The turbulent jet Rcynolds numbers considcred are 8500, 10000 and 13000 with a pcrllourinatcd diclccric nuid Flourincrt-77 (Fe77) as the working Iluid.

Numerical predictions are also carried out for those cases of Hid and Re for which neither experimental data nor numerical predicted data are available in the literature. From the predicted results, correlations are developed to determine the stagnation heat transfer coefficient, the average heat transfer coefficient as well as the variation of the local heat transfer coefficient along the radial direction. These correlations estimate the values satisfactorily.
