This study further expands the current knowledge of the relationship between heat transfer and fluid mechanics. Fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics of air-assisted water jet impingement was experimentally investigated under a fixed water flow rate condition. Water and air were the test fluids. The effects of volumetric quality (ß = 0 – 0.9) on the Nusselt number, hydraulic jump diameter, and pressure were considered. The results showed that stagnation Nusselt number, hydraulic jump diameter, and stagnation pressure increased with volumetric quality to a maximum value at 0.8 of the volumetric quality, and then decreased. The stagnation Nusselt number and hydraulic jump diameter of the air assisted water jet impingement are governed by the stagnation pressure. Based on the experimental results, a new correlation for the normalized stagnation Nusselt number and hydraulic jump are developed as a function of the normalized stagnation pressure alone. This research can be applied to further enhance the cooling of industrial applications, such as, cooling of electronics and processing of materials.
