Abstract

The objective of this study is theoretically to suggest the effective heat exchanger design method using boundary layer analysis. The boundary layer formation and interruption on rectangular plate and round plate fins are explained and the heat transfer coefficients showed with the variation of the velocity and temperature boundary layer. In addition, the flow pattern on one plate fin surface considered as external flow and flow pattern between fins considered as internal flow. As a result, theoretical method for the boundary layer interruption avoidance is suggested and the heat transfer coefficient of the round plate fin was higher than that of the rectangular plate fin because of the less thermal and velocity boundary layer thickness except the centerline.

본 연구의 목적은 경계층 해석법을 이용하여 고효율 열교환기 설계를 위한 이론적 접근법을 제시하고 기존 열교환기에 많이 사용되고 있는 사각 평판 핀과 이를 대체할 수 있는 원형 평판 핀에 대하여 경계층 형성과 간섭에 대하여 설명하고 속도 및 온도 경계층 성장에 따른 열전달계수의 변화를 나타내고자 한다. 더불어 한 개의 핀에서의 유동은 외부유동으로 간주할 수 있으나 다수의 핀 사이의 유동은 내부유동으로 간주하였고 이론적인 결과를 도출하였다. 결과적으로 열교환기의 고효율화 및 컴팩트화를 실현하기 위하여 경계층 간섭을 회피할 수 있는 방안을 이론적으로 제시하였고, 이러한 관점에서 원형 평판 핀이 사각 평판 핀에 비하여 열전달성능이 우수함을 알 수 있었다.
