Adiabatic temperature rise test for predicting heat of hydration in mass concrete is especially inconvenient in the field. In order to overcome the problem, the equipment to effectively and conveniently measure semi-adiabatic temperature change was developed. The main objective of this paper is to propose a new and simple equipment for measuring semi-adiabatic temperature rise by using insulation bottles. In order to predict exact heat loss of concrete using this device, it is required to assume the specific heat loss coefficient of the device by water temperature change inside the experimental device. According to experimental and analytical results, the adiabatic temperature rise does not have significant differences in changes of temperature and humidity of air, as well as initial temperature of water. By comparing adiabatic temperature rise tests, the equipment for measuring semi-adiabatic temperature change can be used to predict the hydration heat of concrete within sufficient accuracy.

A large-scale high-temperature thermal energy storage(TES) was numerically modeled and the heat loss through storage tank walls was analyzed using a commercial code, FLAC3D. The operations of rock cavern type and above-ground type thermal energy storages with identical operating condition were simulated for a period of five consecutive years, in which it was assumed that the dominant heat transfer mechanism would be conduction in massive rock for the former and convection in the atmosphere for the latter. The variation of storage temperature resulting from periodic charging and discharging of thermal energy was considered in each simulation, and the effect of insulation thickness on the characteristics of heat loss was also examined. A comparison of the simulation results of different storage models presented that the heat loss rate of above-ground type TES was maintained constant over the operation period, while that of rock cavern type TES decreased rapidly in the early operation stage and tended to converge towards a certain value. The decrease in heat loss rate of rock cavern type TES can be attributed to the reduction in heat flux through storage tank walls followed by increase in surrounding rock mass temperature. The amount of cumulative heat loss from rock cavern type TES over a period of five-year operation was 72.7% of that from above-ground type TES. The heat loss rate of rock cavern type obtained in long-period operation showed less sensitive variations to insulation thickness than that of above-ground type TES.

The temperature distribution of an asymmetric trapezoidal fin with various upper lateral surface slopes is investigated by using the two-dimensional analytic method. For this asymmetric fin, convection from the inner fluid to the inner wall, conduction from the inner wall to the fin base and conduction through the fin base are considered simultaneously. The temperature profile with the variation of dimensionless fin length and height coordinates is shown. Also, the temperature variation at the bottom tip of the fin is presented as a function of the fin shape factor. Heat losses through the fin base and from each side are compared for variations in fin length. One of the results shows that temperature at the fin bottom tip decreases linearly as the fin shape factor increases.

In order to investigate forced convection heat transfer due to the wind from the inner surface of a cavity receiver for a parabolic dish type solar energy collecting system, a two-dimensional rectangular cavity receiver is prepared and installed in a wind tunnel. The convection heat transfer coefficient of the inner surface of the receiver is dependent on the direction and the velocity of the wind. The attack angle of the cavity and the air velocity in the tunnel are controlled in a wide range so that the effects of the attack angle and the wind velocity on the heat transfer coefficient can be studied. The skirt is installed at the aperture of the cavity in order to reduce convective heat loss. The effects of the length and the installation angle of the skirt on convection heat transfer of the cavity are tested. It is found that convection heat loss can be significantly reduced by installing the skirt. Also, it is known that heat transfer from the cavity can be minimized if the angle of the skirt is $90^{\circ}$ to the outer surface of the cavity.

경사진 밀폐 공간에서 마주 보는 두 벽면의 온도 차로 인하여 발생되는 자연 대류 현상은 여러 공학 분야에서 볼 수 있는 중요한 열전달 현상으로서, 최근 들어 평판형 태양열 집열기를 설계하려는 사람들에게 많은 관심의 대상이 되고 있다. 평판형 태양열 집열기의 경우 덮개판으로 부터의 대류 열손실을 감소시킴으로서 집열 효율을 높일 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 사용목적에 따라 소형 집열기를 제작할 수 있어 경제적으로 유리하게 될 것이다. 밀폐된 공간에서 최초에 정지 상태에 있는 얇은 유체층을 하부에서 가열시켜 주면 열팽창 현상이 일어나고, 이것에 의한 부력이 점도나 열전도도 등의 안정화 요인을 극복할 수 있을 정도로 커지면 System이 불안정하게 되어 자연 대류 현상이 수반되며 이 때문에 열전달율이 급격히 증가하게 된다. 이러한 현상의 지배 방정식은 연립 비선형 편미분 방정식으로 특수한 경계 조건외에는 일반적으로 해석적 해를 구하기가 어렵기 때문에 실험적 연구가 많이 실시되어 왔고 이들 결과의 대부분은 전반적인 열전달 특성치만을 구하는데 집중되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 수치 해석법의 하나인 유한 차분법을 도입하여 이차원으로 가정한 경사진 평판형 밀폐 공간에서의 자연 대류 현상의 지배 방정식을 유한 차분화시켜, $$2.74{\times}10^3\leq_-Gr\leq_-2.0{\times}10^6$$, Pr=0.73, $$15^{\circ}\leq_-a\leq_-150^{\circ}$$, 종횡비는 1, 2, 3, 5, 9에 대하여 정상 상태에서의 해를 구하면서 수치적으로 실험하였다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 결론을 요약하면 다음과 같다. (1) 해석적으로 구하기 어려운 경사진 밀폐 공간에서 자연대류현상의 지배 방정식을 유한 차분법으로 해결할 수 있으며, 대류항과 확산항을 따로 고려한 유한차분법이 효과적임을 확인하였다. (2) 저온과 고온 벽면에서의 온도를 각각 균일하게 놓고 단변으로 이루어진 벽면은 완전히 절연되어 있는 경우에 대하여 수치해를 구한결과, 이전의 해석적 및 실험적 결과와 일치하였으며, 시간의 경과에 따른 온도 및 유선의 변화를 현상학적으로 관찰할 수 있었다. (3) 평균 열전달 계수에 미치는 경사각의 효과를 살펴본 결과 종횡비가 1 인 경우 경사각이 $45^{\circ}$에서, 종횡비가 2, 3, 5, 9인 경우 경사각이 $60^{\circ}$에서 각각 평균 열전달 계수 최대치가 나타났다. (4) Ra수(Rayleigh number) 가 증가될수록, 경사각에 상관없이 평균 열전달 계수도 증가되었다. 한편 Ra수 및 경사각의 변화에 따라 종횡비가 증가될수록 평균 열전달 계수는 경사각이 $90^{\circ}$인 경우를 제외하고는 감소됨을 볼 수 있었다. 경사각이 $90^{\circ}$인 경우, 평균 열전달 계수는 종횡비가 2 인 곳에서 최대치를 얻을 수 있었으며, 종횡비가 계속 증가될수록 평균 열전달 계수는 점차 감소되어짐을 볼 수 있었다.

The current study focuses on the consistent analysis of heat transfer in multichannel volumetric solar receivers used for concentrating solar power. Changes in the properties of the absorbing material and channel dimensions are considered in an optical model based on the Monte Carlo ray-tracing method and in a one-dimensional heat transfer model that includes conduction, convection, and radiation. The optical model results show that most of the solar radiation energy is absorbed within a very small channel length of around 15 mm because of the large length-to-radius ratio. Classification of radiation losses reveals that at low absorptivity, increased reflection losses cause reduction of the receiver efficiency, notwithstanding the decrease in the emission loss. As the average temperature increases because of the large channel radius or small mass flow rate, both emission and reflection losses increase but the effect of emission losses prevails.

Three-dimensional natural convective heat transfer in a vertical channel with a protruding single module was investigated experimentally. The particular interest was in the removal of thermal energy from the module by convective heat transfer. Hence radiative and conductive heat losses were estimated by using thermocouples and heat flux sensor respectively. The flow fields in the channel were visualized by means of a smoke-method. Also, local temperatures were measured by thermocouples inside the channel, along the vertical wall and module surface. It is found that convective heat transfer was promoted at the lower comer of the module and was decreased at the upper comer due to a recirculation zone. A general correlation of the critical channel ratios was found as a function of Rayleigh number. For the range of $8.28{\times}10^3<Ra^*_c<3.48{\times}10^6$, a useful correlation for the mean Nusselt number was proposed as a function of modified channel Rayleigh number.

To improve economic of solar power generation, stirling engine is required continuous operation and the receiver has to be provided with an additional combustion system. The hybrid receiver with a specially adapted combustion system is possible to 24 hr/day operation by solar and gas-fired. The inner cavity and external wall serve as absorber surfaces using collected irradiation and heat transfer surfaces for the gas heat flow, respectively. The hybrid receiver was designed and fabricated for the dish/stirling system. The analytical method for pridicting natural convective heat loss from receiver is used. The Koenig and Marvin model is used to estimate convection heat loss and heat transfer coefficiency.

A cylindrical pin fin with variable diameter is analyzed by using the one dimensional analytical method. Heat loss and fin efficiency are presented as a function of the fin diameter, length and convection characteristic numbers ratio. The relationship between the fin diameter and convection characteristic number over the fin for the same amount of heat loss is shown. One of the results indicates the fin efficiency increases as the fin diameter increases while that decreases as the fin length increases.
