In electric commuter trains using AC motors, lots of GTO thyristors and diodes are needed for power controls. These semiconductors generate heat about 1~2 kW, and for cooling which perfluorocarbon(PFC) heat pipes have been in use for the last two decades. The present study was investigated on the effects of such important design parameters as structure of internal surface (grooved or smooth), fill charge ratio, and inclinating angle from a vertical on heat transfer coefficients at both evaporators and condensers. To obtain experimental data, several heat pipes of the same geometry of 520 mm long and diameter of 15.88 mm but different in fill charge ratio and internal surface structure were designed and fabricated. For prediction of the heat transfer coefficients, related expressions were examined and the results of calculations were compared with experimental data. Performance tests were conducted while heat pipes operated at mode of thermosyphons. High enhancements of heat transfer coefficient were obtained internal grooves. In these cases, the evaporating heat transfer coefficients distributed in the range of 2~5.5 kW/$m^2$K, with an increase of heat flux from 15~45 kW/$m^2$. These experimental data were in good agreement with Rohsenow's expression based on nucleate boiling when correction factor $C_R$=1.3 was encountered. In addition, the condensation heat transfer coefficients were distributed from 1.5 to 3.5 kW/$m^2$K, and the data were in good agreements with Nusselt's correlation, based on filmwise condensation on vertical plate, when choosing a correction factor $C_N=4$. A fill charge ratio of 40~100% were recommended, and the in clination angle effects were negligible when the angle was higher then 30$^{\circ}$.

The installation of grounding systems is important for the safe operation of power systems, and the soil resistivity is an important design consideration for such systems. It varies markedly with the soil type, moisture content and temperature. The Jeju geological structure is formed in a multi-layered structure characteristic of volcanic areas and, and the geological ground resistance values can appear even constructed the same areas ground system different from the soil structure. In this study, a mock-up system using representative soil from Jeju was constructed to analyze the variation of the grounding resistance. The mock-up system was configured using the Gauss-Newton algorithm inversion method to analyze the model numerically using the Wenner method through the soil resistivity measurements used to create the ground model. Also, we analyzed the change in the general ground resistance characteristics of the copper rod, copper pipe, and carbon rod that are used for grounding. The variation of the grounding resistance with the hydration status was found to be $2.9[{\Omega}]$, $16.5[{\Omega}]$ and $20.1[{\Omega}]$ for the copper rod, copper pipes, and carbon rod, respectively, and the influence of the ground moisture resistance of the carbon rod was found to be the lowest with a value of $141[{\Omega}]$.

The air-conditioning industry is closely related to types of lifestyles, climate, and products. With the improvement of national income, the pursuit of pleasant living and working environments, and South Korea's four seasons and distinct climatic conditions, demand for air conditioning has increased. In addition, the industry is becoming increasingly precise and cooperative, and the increase in the domestic production of sophisticated air conditioning and continued growth of future industrial cooperation are expected to rapidly rise. Accordingly, the study of air piping systems can improve the productivity and quality of products and cost savings and can achieve vibration reduction. Additionally, using a heat treatment furnace for copper tube annealing treatment reduces the risk of using an oxy-acetylene torch.

The deformation characteristics of a double round copper pipe and a single round copper pipe under biaxial compression were studied using a horizontal compression die. The change in punch load and in deformation behavior was measured during the experiments using various compressive deformation rates in the range of 10mm/min. ~ 450mm/min. The maximum punch load for both the double round copper pipe and the single round copper pipe decreased with increasing compressive deformation rate. The maximum punch load for the single round copper pipe was twice that of the double round copper pipe. After a 4.0mm stroke, the deformed shape of the single round copper pipe remained rectangular. However the outer tube of double round copper pipe remained rectangular while the inner tube was clover shaped. The stress and strain distributions in the double round copper pipe and the single round copper pipe show clear differences. The results of numerical simulations using Deform-2D are in good agreement with experimental results.

응축기, 증발기, 전열관에 사용되는 Fin Tube는 열전달효율 향상을 위하여 Fin의 높이 를 증가시키고, Tube의 최소두께를 얇게 가공하는 경향으로 발전하고 있다. 따라서, Fin Tube의 와전류탐상(ECT; Eddy Current Testing)에 의한 결함검출에 더욱 어려움이 예상된다. 본 연구에서는 Fin Tube의 Fin 높이를 3단계로 변화시켜 Tube를 제작하고, Tube에 축 방향결함, 원주방향결함, 원형결함을 각각 Fin Tube의 안쪽에 최소두께의 20%, 40%, 60% 의 동일결함율을 갖는 인공결함 시험편을 제작하였다. 제작한 원형결함시험편에 와전류탐상을 수행하여 Fin 높이에 따른 최적주파수의 변화를 연구하였다. Fin높이가 다른 원형결함 시험편에 1~20KHz 주파수를 적용한 결과 최적주파수는 12KHz로 Fin높이에 크게 영향을 받지 않음을 밝혔다 또한 Fin높이에 따른 최적주파수변화는 크지 않으나 Fin 높이가 높을수록 100%관통결함의 위상각(40')에 근접하여 나타났다. 축방향결함, 원주방향결함, 원형결함을 갖는 시험편에 와전류탐상을 수행한 결과 원형결함을 갖는 시험편의 신호 감도가 축방향결함, 원주방향결함보다 좋게 나타났다.

This study was performed to improve the corrosion resistance and the stability of passive film on copper tube by potentiostatic polarization method in synthetic tap water. Formation of passive film was carried out by anodic potentiostatic polarization at various passivation potentials and passivation times in 0.1 M NaOH solution. Stability of passive film and corrosion resistance was evaluated by self-activation time, ${\tau}_0$ from passive state to active state on open-circuit state in 0.1 M NaOH solution. Addition of polyphosphate in NaOH solution prolonged the self-activation time and improved the corrosion resistance, and the addition of 5 ppm polyphosphate was most effective. It was also observed that better corrosion resistance was obtained by potentiostatic polarization at 1.0 V (vs. SCE) than at any other passivation potentials. Passivated copper tube showed perfect corrosion resistance for the immersion test in synthetic tap water showing that the anodic potentiostatic polarization treatment in 0.1 M NaOH with 5 ppm polyphosphate solution would be effective in improving the corrosion resistance and preventing the blue water problem.

쌀 소비량은 생활 수준 향상과 외식 및 식품 산업의 발달로 감소하고, 고품질 쌀을 요구하는 성향이 높아지고 있다. 현재, 고품질 쌀을 생산할 수 있는 기술과 제반 요건은 구비되어 있으나, 수확 후 건조·저장 중에 쌀의 품질이 저하된다. 특히 건조 중 품질 저하는 고온건조에 의한 동할 발생 및 과건조가 주요 원인이다. 이를 해결하기 위해 원적외선 건조 시스템에 관한 연구가 진행 중이다. 본 연구에서는 방사율이 높고, 접착성 및 내열성 등이 강한 곡물 건조기용 방사체 코팅원료를 개발하고, 이 원료를 원적외선 방사체에 코팅한 후 방사체의 형태와 크기에 따라 표면 온도 분포 및 연료 소비량 등을 측정 분석하여 방사체의 특성과 적정 조건을 규명하고자 하였다. 연구 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. (1) 세라믹 코팅 원료의 배합비는 세라믹분말 40%와 결합재 60%가 접착력과 가열경화 후 표면이 양호한 것으로 나타났다. (2) 노즐의 유량 및 분무각에 따른 버너의 화염길이 및 폭은 노즐유량이 증가함에 따라 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. (3) 방사체 위치별 표면온도편차는 방사체 길이가 1350mm인 것이 작은 것으로 나타났고, 열풍유동관 직경이 Rounding type의 경우 76.3mm, Right angle type의 경우 89.1mm일 때 표면 온도편차가 적었다. (4) 연료소비량은 열 풍유동관 직경이 클수록, 방사체 길이가 길수록 증가하는 경향을 나타내었고, Right angle type이 Rounding type에 비하여 연료소비량이 약간 높은 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze and compare the heat transfer efficiency of using copper pipe, stainless pipe and traditional PE pipe commonly used for geothermal heat exchanger, with aims at seeking improved methods. In addition, the varying efficiency of heat transfer from ground heat and groundwater heat was assessed and its applicability was discussed. Design parameters for empirical field study were derived by controlling flow rate, velocity and caliber of pipes of the heat exchanger after the thermal efficiency of the heat exchanger material was evaluated. The heat exchange efficiency and effective thermal conductivity were measured with changing pattern through field thermal efficiency and thermal response test. Experimental results show that the metal material showed higher heat transfer efficiency than the PE pipe. Although the heat transfer efficiency was not high with the increase of the pipe diameter in the flow rate, it was high with the increase of the pipe diameter in the velocity.

The condensation heat transfer coefficients of R-22 and R-410A in a small diameter tube were investigated. The main components of the refrigerant loop consist of a receiver, a variable-speed pump, a mass flowmeter, an evaporator (preheater), and a condenser (test section). The test section consists of smooth, horizontal copper tube of 3.38 mm outer diameter and 1.77 mm inner diameter. The refrigerant mass fluxes varied from 450 to $1050\;kg/(m^2s)$ and the average inlet and outlet qualities were 0.05 and 0.95. The main results were summarized as follows : the condensation heat transfer coefficient also increases with increasing mass flux and quality. The condensation heat transfer coefficient of R-410A was slightly higher than that of R-22. Most of correlations proposed in the large diameter tube showed significant deviations with experimental data except for the ranges of low quality and low mass flux.

Heat transfer characteristics were experimentally investigated for ice slurry which was made from 6.5% ethylene glycol-water solution flowing in the circular pipe. The test section was made of a copper tube of 13.84 mm inner diameter and 1,500 mm length. The ice slurry was heated by passing hot water through an annulus surrounding the test section. The ice packing factor(IPF) and the mass flux of the experiments were varied from 0 to 25% and from 1,000 to 3,000 kg/$m^2s$ respectively at a fixed hot water temperature and flow rate. The measured heat transfer rates increase with the mass flow rate and IPF; however the effect of IPF appears to be minor at high mass flow rate. At the low mass flow rate condition, a sharp increases in the heat transfer coefficient was observed when the IPF was above 15 ~ 20%. And finally the measured heat transfer coefficients were compared with those calculated from the correlations.
