An active method for heat transfer enhancement is proposed and thoroughly characterized for the first time for cryogenic quenching, in which mechanical vibrations are directly induced onto the sample to be quenched, employing a compact modular system composed of a pneumatic plunging device along with a DC motor/eccentric cam mechanism, generating oscillations on three different axes at a wide array of amplitude-frequency combinations. The quenching performance was investigated from both flow-field and thermal standpoints, through numerical simulations of the flow behavior, high-speed imaging of the process, and experimentally generated transient quenching and boiling curves under the influence of the governing parameters, underlining their combined effect on the mechanism of heat transfer augmentation. Under optimal conditions of amplitude and frequency, a remarkable CHF enhancement of 270% was obtained and the quenching time was reduced from 5 seconds to 1.8 seconds compared to the non-vibration case, where the vibration frequency was found to be the primary factor involved in the increase of oscillation-driven pressure drop and subsequent cavitation-induced CHF enhancement. Consequently, we are providing researchers in the field of cryogenics a method that not only provides enhanced performance but also offers flexibility enabling active control of the governing parameters of the system.
