본 연구에서는 열의 수가 세 개인 원형관 및 종횡비가 고려된 납작관-평판휜 형상의 밀집형 열교환기 내 공기의 유동 및 열전달 특성을 RNG $k-{\varepsilon}$ 난류모델을 적용하여 수치적으로 해석하였다. 수치조건의 범위는 원형관인 경우 1,000<$Re_D_h$<10,000이며, 납작관인 경우 1,000<$Re_{D_h}$<10,000 및 3.06$f\;=\;CRe^m_{D_h}$의 형태로, Colburn j 계수는 $j\;=\;CRe^m_{D_h}$ 형태로 상관관계식을 제시하였다. 이러한 상관관계식은 향후 원형관 및 납작관-평판휜 형상의 열교환기 설계시에 기본적인 자료로 충분히 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Numerical analysis has been carried out to investigate air-side convective heat transfer characteristics in compact heat exchanger with flat tubes and continuous plate fins having a symmetric and non-symm etric staggered arrangements. Simulation results such as air velocity and temperature distributions are presented, and heat transfer coefficients are compared with previous experimental results. In order to investigate the flow and heat transfer features by periodic boundary conditions, the three blocks were used. Predicted heat transfer coefficients between the three blocks are similar while there are relatively differences, compared with the experimental data. From the calculated results a correlation for Colburn j factor in the compact heat exchanger system is suggested. The predicted results in this study can be applied to the optimal design of air conditioning system.

Numerical analysis has been carried out to investigate air-side convective heat transfer characteristics in a compact heat exchanger with flat tubes and continuous plate fins according to the aspect ratio. RNG k-$\varepsilon$ model is applied for turbulence analysis. Simulation results such as air velocity and temperature distributions are presented, and heat transfer coefficients are compared with previous correlations for circular tubes. The numerical conditions are considered for the aspect ratios ranging from 3.06 to 5.44 and Reynolds number ranging from 1000 to 10,000. The results showed that heat transfer coefficients decreased with the increase of aspect ratio. From the calculated results a correlation of Colburn j factor for the considered aspect ratio in the compact heat exchanger system is suggested. The predicted results in this study can be applied to the optimal design of air conditioning system.
