초록

나노유체의 대류열전달 성능을 평가하는 센서로서 가는 백금 열선이 많이 사용되었다. 그러나 센서의 강도가 약해서 취급에 주의가 필요하고 측정실험에서 센서에 대한 엄밀한 교정과정을 생략하거나 정밀도 높은 기구들을 사용하지 않으면 비현실적인 대류열전달계수가 얻어졌다. 본 연구에서는 백금 열선 대신 더미스터 센서를 채택한 새로운 나노유체 대류 성능 평가장치를 제안하였고 그 작동 원리를 자세히 설명하였다. 순수 엔진오일에 대한 두 센서의 비교 실험을 통하여 더미스터 센서의 실용적 장점을 확인할 수 있었다. 제안된 장치는 개발된 나노유체의 채택 여부를 판단하는 유용한 도구로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

Fine wires made from platinum have been used as sensors to evaluate the convection performance of nanofluids. However, the wire sensor is difficult to handle due to its fragility. Additionally, an unrealistic convective heat transfer coefficient (h) is obtained if a rigorous calibration process combined with precision equipment is not used for measurement. This paper proposes a new evaluation apparatus for h of nanofluids that uses a thermistor sensor instead of the platinum wire. The working principles are also explained in detail. Validation experiments for pure engine oil comparing h from the two sensors confirmed numerous practical benefits of the thermistor. The proposed system can be used as a useful tool to justify the adoption of developed nanofluids.
