Determination of optimum design parameters of water-drop cooling devices

Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

A method for computational and experimental determination of optimum design parameters of water-drop cooling devices used for heat treatment of steel articles is suggested. Regression analysis of experimental data is used for deriving analytical equations relating the design parameters of water-drop quenching devices with the irrigation density and the uniformity of its distribution over the cooled surface. The dependence of the heat transfer factor of the studied sprayers on the irrigation density is determined.
