A review of heat transfer data for single circular jet impingement

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived a correlation for the Nusselt number of the form suggested by this evidence using a selection of the data and showed that this exponent should be a function of nozzle-to-plate spacing and of the radial displacement from the stagnation point.
