Currently I am using open source chef and having number of nodes chef client is installed. I want the chef client to run in specific intervals. Any good cookbooks out there to configure it.

There are two stages to a chef run though. A compile phase, to organise what resources need to be run and resolve all variables. Then a run phase where each resource is actually executed. You can write recipes that trigger actions during the compile phase which may make it seem out of order.
Ohai is a tool that is used to detect attributes on a node, and then provide these attributes to the chef-client at the start of every chef-client run. Ohai is required by the chef-client and must be present on a node. (Ohai is installed on a node as part of the chef-client install process.)
Yes, the official chef-client cookbook.
That's precisely one of the main points of using this cookbook.
If you just include the chef-client::default on your nodes' run_lists, it's going to run every 30 minutes. If you want something different, it's just a matter of adjusting node["chef_client"]["interval"] -- note that this is in seconds, and the default is 1800.
The cookbook's readme file lists all tuneable attributes.
