혼합증기(수증기/공기)의 막응축 열전달 계수를 수직한 벽면에서 측정하고 상관식을 개발하였다. 열전달 상관식은 액막측과 증기측으로 구분하여 만들었고, 액막측 전열계수의 상관식은 액막의 Reynolds수와 Prandtl수의 함수로 나타냈으며, 증기측 전열계수의 상관식은 증기의 Reynolds수, Prandtl수, Schmidt수 및 공기의 질량분율, 액막 Reynolds수의 함수로 제안하였다. 응축 액막의 두께와 확산층의 순간온도 측정결과로부터 액막의 파형 계면이 확산층에서의 열 및 물질전달에 큰 영향을 끼치고 있음을 확인하였고, 증기측 전열계수의 상관식에 포함된 액막 Reynolds수가 파형 계면의 영향을 반영하고 있다.

An improved method is presented for the prediction of heat transfer coefficients in turbulent fall-ing liquid films with or without interfacial shear for both heating or condensation. A modified Mudawwar and El-Masri's semi-empirical turbulence model, particularly to extend its use for the turbulent falling film with high interfacial shear, is used to replace the eddy viscosity model incorporated in the unified approach unposed by Yih and Liu. The liquid film thickness and asymptotic heat transfer coefficients against the film Reynolds number for wide range of interfacial shear predicted by both present and existing methods are compared with experimental data. The results show that in general, predictions of the modified model agee more closely with experimental data than that of existing models.

A study has been conducted to provide the experimental information for the velocity and temperature profiles of steam-air mixutre and to investigate their roles on the film condensation with wavy interface. Saturated gas mixture of steam-air was made to flow through the nearly horizontal$(4.1^{\circ})$ square duct of 0.1m width and 1.56m length at atmospheric pressure, and was condensated on the bottom cold plate. The air mass fraction in the gas mixture was changed from zero(W =0, pure steam) to one(W =1, pure air), and the bulk velocity was varied from 2 to 4 m/s. Water film was injected concurrently to investigate the effect of wavy interface on the condensation. The velocity and temperature profiles were measured by LDA system and thermocouples along the three parameters ; air mass fraction, mixture velocity and film flow rate. The profiles moved toward the interface with increasing steam mass fraction, mixture velocity and film flow rate. The Prandtl and Schmidt numbers were near one in the present experimental range, however there was no complete similarity between the velocity and temperature profiles of gas mixture. And the heat transfer characteristics and interfacial structure were coupled with each other.

The objective of this study is to experimentally measure condensation heat transfer at the vapor-liquid interface of boiling bubbles generated in subcooled water. Rainbow Schlieren Deflectometry (RSD) is an optical technique that allows for the non-intrusive visualization of the temperature gradient field in liquid. It is known that the refractive index of a liquid changes as a function of temperature. When light passes through a liquid medium, the degree of deflection is proportional to the spatial gradient of the temperature field. The deflected light passes through a rainbow filter with a continuous variation in color from the center to the outer boundary. As a result, the temperature gradient field in the liquid can be visualized as a color contour. Boiling experiments in a pool of subcooled water were conducted to visualize the temperature gradient field near the vapor-liquid interface of a vapor bubble. A set of RSD images was obtained for the entire life cycle of a boiling bubble, from nucleation through growth to departure from the heating wall. The temperature gradient field near the vapor-liquid interface around the bubble was carefully analyzed. The condensation heat transfer coefficient was calculated and compared to existing prediction models.

The efficient steam drum should be required to reduce carbon oxide emissions and heat recovery in oxygen converter hood system. However, steam generation is limited to the time of the oxygen blowing period, which is intermittent or cyclical in operation of steel-making process. Thus, steam drum should be optimized for an effective steam generation during the oxygen blowing portion of the converter cycle. In this study, a three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model has been developed to describe the impacts of changing various operating conditions and geometric shape on thermo-fluid characteristics and performance of the steam drum. This model encompasses not only fluid flow and heat transfer but also evaporation and condensation at the interfacial surface in the steam drum by using VOF (Volume of Fluid) method. To validate the prediction performance of this model, comparison of the steam flow rate between numerical and experimental result has been performed, resulting in the accuracy of the relative error by less than 3.2%.
