Axial and overall heat transfer coefficients were investigated in a bubble column with relatively high viscous and low surface tension media. Effects of superficial gas velocity (0.02~0.1 m/s), liquid viscosity ($0.1{\sim}0.3Pa{\cdot}s$) and surface tension ($66.1{\sim}72.9{\times}10^{-3}N/m$) on the local and overall heat transfer coefficients were examined. The heat transfer field was composed of the immersed heater and the bubble column; a vertical heater was installed at the center of the column coaxially. The heat transfer coefficient was determined by measuring the temperature differences continuously between the heater surface and the column which was bubbling in a given operating condition, with the knowledge of heat supply to the heater. The local heat transfer coefficient increased with increasing superficial gas velocity but decreased with increasing axial distance from the gas distributor and liquid surface tension. The overall heat transfer coefficient increased with increasing superficial gas velocity but decreased with increasing liquid viscosity or surface tension. The overall heat transfer coefficient was well correlated in terms of operating variables such as superficial gas velocity, liquid surface tension and liquid viscosity with a correlation coefficient of 0.91, and in terms of dimensionless groups such as Nusselt, Reynolds, Prandtl and Weber numbers with a correlation of 0.92; $$h=2502U^{0.236}_{G}{\mu}^{-0.250}_{L}{\sigma}^{-0.028}_L$$ $$Nu=325Re^{0.180}Pr^{-0.067}We^{0.028}$$.

Fluid flow and heat transfer in horizontal ducts are strongly coupled with large changes in thermodynamic and transport properties near the critical region as well as the gravity force. Numerical analysis has been carried out to investigate convective heat transfer in horizontal rectangular ducts for water near the thermodynamic critical point. Convective heat transfer characteristics, including velocity, temperature, and the properties as well as local heat transfer coefficients along the ducts are compared with the effect of proximity on the critical point. When there is flow acceleration because of a density decrease, convective heat transfer characteristics in the ducts show transition behavior between liquid-like and gas-like phases. There is a large variation in the local heat transfer coefficient distributions at the top, side, and bottom surfaces, and close to the pseudocritical temperature, a peak in the heat transfer coefficient distribution resulting from improved turbulent transport is observed. The Nusselt number distribution depends on pressure and duct aspect ratio, while the Nusselt number peak rapidly increases as the pressure approaches the critical pressure. The predicted Nusselt number is also compared with other heat transfer correlations.

회전 열파이프의 열전달 성능은 액막 두께 및 증발부로 귀환되는 응축 액막 유동율에 의해 결정된다. 그 동안 응축액 유동율을 촉진시키기 위하여 용기 내벽에 groove, 테이퍼 및 나선형 코일을 삽입하여 유동율을 높이는 방법들이 연구되었다. 본 연구도 회전 열파이프의 내부 관벽 구조에 관한 것으로써 삼각 단면을 갖는 회전 열파이프의 열전달 특성을 파악하고자 하였다. 삼각 단면을 갖는 회전 열파이프는 고속 회전 영역에서 모서리 부분으로 액막이 집중되어 관 내벽에 형성되는 액막 두께를 줄일 수 있으나 증발부에서 국부적인 과열이 발생되어 불안정한 작동 상태를 나타내었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 개선방안으로 증발부에 부분적으로 원형관을 접합하였으며, 그 결과 dry-out의 억제와 함께 삼각 유동 단면에 의한 액막 두께 감소 효과를 볼 수 있었다. 회전체 발열부 냉각에 적용시키기 위해서는 앞으로 최적의 기하학적 형상에 따른 충전율 및 액막에서의 열전달에 대한 정량적인 해석 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

In this study, the experiments are performed to investigate the local heat transfer and pressure drops of developed turbulent flows in the diverging square channels along the axial distance. The square divergent channels are manufactured with a fixed rib height (e) = 10 mm. Four different parallel angled ribs ($a=30^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$, and $90^{\circ}$) are placed on the channel's one-sided wall only. TThe measurement are conducted within the range of Reynolds numbers from 22,000 to 79,000. The results show that a rib angle-of-attack of $45^{\circ}$ produces the best heat-transfer performance.

The influence of the surface roughness on the natural convection heat transfers of a vertical plate were measured experimently. Mass transfer experiments instead of heat transfer experiment were performed based on the analogy. The piecewise electrodes were adopted to measure the local-average Nusselt number. Prandtl number was 2,014 and height of the plate was 0.154m The test results for a smooth surface showed similar heat transfer rate with the Le Fevre heat transfer correlation for a vertical plate. The Nusselt number increased with the roughness Rz $0.5{\sim}14.1{\mu}m$. The test results were presented by a simple correlation.

The fully developed turbulent momentum and heat transfer induced by the square-ribed roughness elements on the inner wall surface in concentric annuli is studied analytically based on a modified turbulence model. The analytical results of the fluid flow is verified by experiment. The resulting momentum and heat transfer are discussed in terms of various parameters, such as the radius ratio, the relative roughness, the roughness density, fluid Reynolds number and for heat transfer, fluid Prandtl number. The study demonstrates that certain artificial roughness elements may be used to enhance heat transfer rates with advantages from the overall efficiency point of view.

An experimental investigation of turbulent heat transfer during the vertical upward flow of supercritical $CO_2$ was conducted in a circular tube with inner diameter of 4.5 mm. The experiments were conducted at bulk fluid temperatures ranging from 29 to $115^{\circ}C$, pressures from 74.6 to 102.6 bar, local wall heat fluxes from 38 to $234kW/m^2$, and mass fluxes from 208 to $874kg/m^2s$. At moderate wall heat and low mass fluxes, the wall temperature had a noticeable peak value. For observing the buoyancy and flow acceleration effects on heat transfer, the ratios of Nusselt numbers from the experimental data and a reference correlation were compared with the $Bo^*$ and $q^+$ distributions. The flow acceleration parameter $q^+$ appropriately represented the heat transfer phenomena in the experiments. A new heat transfer correlation for the vertical upward flow of the supercritical pressure fluid was developed, and was found to agree with the experimental data with an error margin of ${\pm}30%$.

In this study, turbulent flow and heat transfer characteristics in a helically coiled tube have been numerically investigated. Helically coiled tubes are commonly used in heat exchange systems to enhance the heat transfer rate. Accordingly, they have been widely studied experimentally; however, most studies have focused on the pressure drop and heat transfer correlations. The centrifugal force caused by a helical tube increases the wall shear stress and heat transfer rate on the outer side of the helical tube while decreasing those on the inner side of the tube. Therefore, this study quantitatively shows the variation of the local Nusselt number and friction factor along the circumference at the wall of a helical tube by varying the coil diameter and Reynolds number. It is seen that the local heat transfer rate and wall shear stress greatly decrease near the inner side of the tube, which can affect the safety of the tube materials. Moreover, this study verifies the previous experimental correlations for the friction factor and Nusselt number, and it shows that the correlation between the two in a straight tube can be applied to a helical tube. It is expected that the results of this study can be used as important data for the safety evaluation of heat exchangers and steam generators.
