In this study, heat transfer and flow characteristics of cooling of a hot plate with impinging jet flow were investigated numerically by computational fluid dynamics method. Heat transfer and hydraulic performances were compared in the case of cooling of the hot plate with turbulent impinging jet flow using a twin nozzle system for flat, zigzag, trapezoid and rectangular geometries of the same height. Air is used as the working fluid in the calculations and the distribution of average and local Nusselt (Nu) numbers is obtained for the analysis of heat transfer performance. Pumping power values were compared for hydraulic performance. For turbulent impinging jet flow, the k-ε turbulence model – near wall treatment is used. According to the results obtained, the trapezoidal plate has the highest thermal performance with 115,67 Nusselt number value and this value is approximately 52,2% higher than flat plate under the same conditions. In terms of thermo-hydraulic performance, the Nusselt number / Pumping Power ratio was calculated, and it was determined that the lowest performance occurred for the rectangular section due to the highest-pressure difference. However, when looking at the distribution of local Nusselt numbers, it was determined that the nozzles hit the highest values and decreased towards the exit parts. It has been observed that the hot plate surface section shape, which is cooled using impinging jets, significantly affects the heat transfer.
