We investigate the heat-transfer and pressure-drop characteristics of fin-and-tube heat exchangers with a copper plate or copper spiral fins. Twenty-four samples with different fin pitches and tube rows were tested. For both configurations, the effect of the fin pitch on the j factor is negligible, and the f factor increases with the fin pitch. The effect of the tube row depends on the configuration. For plate fin-and-tube heat exchangers, the j factor decreases as the row number increases; the reverse is true for spiral exchangers. We explain this by considering the flow pattern. The j factor for plate fin-and-tube heat exchangers is larger than that for spiral exchangers, and the difference decreases as the row number increases. The f factor of the plate fin-and-tube heat exchanger is also larger. We compare our results with existing predictions of correlations.

일체형 원자로에는 노심지지원통과 원자로용기 내벽사이의 환형 공간을 나선으로 감는 형태인 일체형 관류식 나선형 증기발생기와 증기발생기를 여러 개의 모듈로 나누어 환형 공간에 배치하는 형태인 모듈형 관류식 직관형증기 발생기가 가장 적합한 것으로 판단되어 두 가지 형태에 대한 개념을 설정하였다. 일체형 관류식 나선형 증기발생기는 전열관 집합체, 지지구조물, 하강유로, 그리고 증기 및 급수 헤더로 구성되어 있다. 모듈형 관류식 직관형 증기발생기는 개개의 모듈이 별도로 운전될 수 있는 12개의 모듈로 구성되며, 원자로용기를 관통하는 배관의 수를 줄이기 위해서 급수관이 증기관의 안쪽에 있는이중배관 개념을 사용한 것이 특징이다. 모듈형 관류식 직관헝 증기발생기가설계 및 제작이 용이하지만 높이를 줄이기 위한 방안으로 두 가지 개념이 조합된 모듈형 관류식 나선형 증기발생기도 검토하였다.

본 연구에서는 나선형과 판형의 핀을 가진 원자력 발전소용 직교류 핀-관 열교환기의 열량을 ARI Standard-410에 따라 실험적으로 측정하여 풍속과 냉수속에 따른 열저항 및 압력 손실을 도출하는 것을 목적으로 하였으며, 이러한 시도를 통해서 실제 열교환기의 성능 평가시 필요한 기술적 자료를 축적하고자 하였다. 실험에서는 나선형 6fin/in, 8fin/1n, 10fin/in 열교환기와 판형 8fin/in 열교환기를 사용하였으며, 풍속을 0.486m/s와 2.214m/s로, 수속을 1m/s～4m/s로 하여 실험을 행하였다. 실험 결과를 통하여, 원자력 발전소의 격납 용기내의 공기조화를 위하여 사용되어 지는 열교환기의 성능 평가 방법 및 실증 능력을 확보하였으며, 풍속 증가에 따라 총괄 열전달 계수는 전체적으로 비례 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 판형이 나선형 보다 열전달 계수가 작게 나타났으며, 나선형 열교환기의 경우 fin수에 따른 변화는 크지 않았으나, 열전달 면적을 고려한 경우에는 나선형 10fin/in 열교환기가 가장 뛰어난 열교환 성능을 발휘함을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 공기측의 압력 손실은 전체적으로 전연 풍속 증가에 따라서 속도 제곱에 비례하여 증가하는 경향을 보였다.

In this experimental study, for obtaining the data to be used in the increased recover rate of waste heat from the recirculated sand, the furan foundry sand were used as the fluidized particle in the fluidized bed in which the smooth, spiral and finned tubes($Do={\varphi}12.7$) were horizontally installed and used as the heat-transfer tubes. The heat transfer experiments were performed in the conditions of water Reynolds number of inside tubes in the range of 4,000 to 18,000 and particle Reynolds number of outside tube in the range of 0.8 to 7.5. The heat-transfer coefficients(ho) increase as the higher inside temperature of the fluidized bed and the maximum heat-transfer coefficients can be obtained in the range of 3.5 to 5.5 of particle Reynolds number in the all tubes. The maximum Nu numbers of smooth, spiral and finned tubes are figured as about 1:1.5:3 in order even if the ratios show little different as the temperatures of bed.

In this study, the stress and deformation behavior characteristics of a flexible joint for a gas pipe have been analyzed by a finite element method. These characteristic results may investigate the strength safety analysis of a flexible joint, which is composed by a spiral corrugation pipe or a rectangular corrugation model and a plane pipe. The FEM computed results show that an optimized spiral corrugation pipe model is a inclined angle of $4.7^{\circ}$ and a corrugation height of 1.5mm. And also, a rectangular corrugation pipe model of $90^{\circ}$ is recommended in strength safety rather than a spiral corrugation pipe with an inclined angle. Thus, a corrugated pipe for an increased strength safety is to recommend a reduced pitch and curvature radius of an inclined corrugation.

A numerical study for laminar flow in the entrance region of helical tubes for uniform inlet velocity conditions is carried out by means of the finite volume method to investigate the effects of Reynolds number, pitch and curvature ratio on the flow development. This results cover a curvature ratio range of 1/10$\sim$1/320, a pitch range of 0.0$\sim$3.2, and a Reynolds number range of 125$\sim$2000. It has been found that the curvature ratio does significantly effect on the angle of flow development, but the pitch and Reynolds number do not. The characteristic angle $\phi_c(=\phi/\sqrt{\delta})$, or the non-dimensional length $\overline{l}(=l\sqrt{\delta}cos(atan\lambda)/d)$ can be used to represent the flow development for uniform inlet velocity conditions. In uniform inlet velocity conditions, the growth of boundary layer delays the flow development attributed to centrifugal force, and in which conditions the amplitude of flow oscillations is smaller than that in parabolic inlet velocity conditions. If the pitch increases or if the curvature ratio or Reynolds number decreases, the minimum friction factor and the fully developed average friction factor normalized with the friction factor of a straight tube and the flow oscillations decrease.

This study investigates the safety assessment of the potential for fretting-wear damages caused by foreign object in operating nuclear power plants. To get the natural frequency, corresponding mode shape and participation factor, modal analyses are performed for the helical type tubes with various conditions. The wear rate of helical type tube caused by foreign object is calculated using the Archard formula and the remaining life of the tube is predicted, and discussed in this study is the effect of the vibration of the tube on the remaining life of the tube. In addition, addressed is the effect of the external pressure on the vibration and fretting-wear characteristics of the tube.

This paper is to present the results of a comprehensive study on heat transfer in annuli with spirally corrugated inner tubes in the turbulent regime. Tube surface-temperature measurements were used to explain the enhancement phenomena in the annuli with several different corrugated tubes. Nusselt numbers were between 1.1 and 2 times the smooth annulus values. These enhancement values can be used to determine the appropriate range of applicability for spirally corrugated annuli.

The present paper is to present the results of studied of pressure drop in annuli with corrugated and spirally fluted inner tubes for the turbulent flow regime. To understand the underlying physical phenomena responsible for heat transfer enhancement, flow mechanism documented elsewhere are combined with pressure drop measurements to confirm the friction factors obtained from the annuli with the grooved inner tubes for the Reynolds number of 1000 to 8000. Friction factors were found to be functions of trough depth, pitch and angle, and the annulus radius ratio. friction factor increases in the spirally fluted tubes were larger than those in the corrugated tubes.
