In the present study, we conducted a conjugate heat transfer (CHT) analysis for double-wall cooling with impingement and effusion, incorporating various types of ribs, using the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) method and the modified shear stress transport (SST) turbulence closure model (SST-KIC), accounting for the Kato-Launder modification (K), intermittency (I), and crossflow (C) transition effects. We comprehensively discussed the impact of slit type (parallel, inclined, convergent, and divergent), open-area ratio (β = 5%, 20%, and 40%), and jet Reynolds number on the turbulent flow and heat transfer in a double-wall cooling with slit ribs. Our findings indicated that the introduction of slit ribs significantly improved heat transfer and its uniformity on the target wall, albeit with a slight increase in pressure loss. The overall Nusselt number and thermal-hydraulic performance (THP) in cases with slit ribs gradually decreased with β, yet remained up to 17% and 13% higher than those observed on a smooth target wall. Notably, the open-area ratio of the slit rib exhibited a more pronounced effect on heat transfer over the target plate. For the divergent slit rib within the Reynolds number range of 4000–16 000, the heat transfer enhancement ratio reached the highest value at β of 0.05. In addition, we computed the entropy production caused by fluid friction and heat transfer, as well as the overall entropy production in double-wall cooling at different β and Re. The analysis revealed that the slit rib target plate performed better than the solid rib target plate, showing a distinct advantage in terms of total entropy production. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
