In the present study, spray cooling heat transfer was experimentally investigated for the case in which water is sprayed onto the surfaces of micro-fins in forced convection and nucleate boiling regions. The experimental results show that an increase in the droplet flow rate improves heat transfer due to forced convection and nucleate boiling in the both case of smooth surface and surfaces of micro-fins. However, the effect of subcooling for fixed droplet flow rate is very weak. Micro-fins surfaces enhance the spray cooling heat transfer significantly. In the dilute spray region, the micro-fin structure has a significant effect on the spray cooling heat transfer. However, this effect is weak in the dense spray region. A previously determined correlation between the Nusselt number and Reynolds number shows good agreement with the present experimental data for a smooth surface.

The cooling of a injector effects on the vapor pressure of cryogenic oxidizer spray, and it decides the phase transition point at the ignition process, when the combustion chamber pressure increases drastically. The phase transition of oxidizer spray affects the ignition characteristics, and several ignition tests with the LOx/$GCH_4$ uni-element coaxial swirl injector was performed in the different initial temperatures of oxidizer injector, in order to investigate the effect of injector cooling on the ignition transient characteristics. At the transition point of oxidizer phase, where the combustion chamber pressure increased over the LOx vapor pressure, the temporary quenching phenomenon of the flame occurred. The lower temperature of chilled down injector and tubing tends to move up the phase transition earlier.

In the present study, the correlation between the Nusselt number and Reynolds number was developed for forced convection and nucleate boiling region in spray cooling. Also the effect of droplet subcooling on spray cooling heat transfer was investigated. Full cone spray nozzles were employed for spray cooling experiment, and water and FC-77 were used for developing the correlation. From the experimental results, the correlation between the Nusselt number and Reynolds number based on droplet-flow-rate was developed. The correlation shows good predictions with ${\pm}30%$ error for water and FC-77.

The boiling heat transfer was experimentally investigated for the FC-77 sprays impacting a square heated test surface in a downward direction. Full cone spray nozzles were employed for the spray cooling experiment, and experiments were made under the test conditions of $Q=3.32{\times}10^{-6}{\sim}2.30{\times}10^{-5}\;m^3/s$, ${\Delta}T_{sub}=20{\sim}70^{\circ}C$. Also, heat transfer measurements were made using the copper block of $10{\times}10\;mm^2$ test area heated by nine cartridge heater. From the experimental results, correlation between the Nusselt number and Reynolds number based on droplet-flow-rate was developed. The correlation shows good predictions with ${\pm}30%$ error for FC-77.

Spray cooling heat transfer was experimentally investigated for water sprays impacting on mico-fins structured surfaces in the single phase and nucleate boiling regions. The heat transfer surfaces consist of cubic fins and triangular grooved fins. The spray produced using full cone spray nozzles, and experiments were made under the test condition of $Q=4.92{\times}10^{-6}{\sim}15.83{\times}10^{-6}\;m^3/s$, $T_f=35{\sim}55^{\circ}C$. From the experimental results, it was found that cubic fins surface had the largest heat flux enhancement relative to the smooth surface.

The cooling of hot exhaust gas is an important issue for the construction of combustor test facility. Water spray is an effective method for exhaust gas cooling due to its large latent heat in process of evaporation. In this study, 1-D analysis has been performed based on continuity, energy conservation, and saturated vapor property to understand water spray cooling of combustion gas. In the exhaust duct of combustor test facility, the injected water decreases combustion gas temperature, and evaporates in the combustion gas. However, some of the injected water is collected in the sump due to condensation. The evaporation of water helps combustion gas cooling, but causes pressure increase inside the exhaust duct due to increase of vapor pressure. These phenomena has been analyzed by 1-D modeling in this study. From 1-D analysis, the adequate mass flow rate of water spray to cool combustion gas and to avoid excessive pressure rise inside the exhaust duct has been decided.

Mist cooling is widely employed as a cooling technique of high temperature surfaces, and it has heat transfer characteristics similar to boiling heat transfer which has the convection, nucleate and film boiling regions. In the present study, mist cooling heat transfer was experimentally investigated for the mist flow impacting on the heated surfaces of mico-fins. The mist flow was generated by supersonic vibration. Experiments were conducted under the test conditions of droplet flow rate, $Q=6.02{\times}10^{-9}{\sim}3.47{\times}10^{-8}\;m^3/s$ and liquid temperature, $T_f=30{\sim}35^{\circ}C$. From the experimental results, it is found that an increase in the droplet flow rate improves mist cooling heat transfer in the both case of smooth surface and surfaces of micro-fins. Micro-fins surfaces enhance the mist cooling heat transfer. Besides, the experimental results show that an increase in the droplet flow rate decrease the heat transfer efficiency of mist cooling.

화재에 대한 소화방법으로서는 점화원의 냉각, 산화제 농도의 감소에 의한 화염의 질식 및 제거소화와 부촉매를 이용한 소화법이 있다. 이중 냉각소화방법은 주로 물을 사용하여 화재를 진압하고 있으나, 유류화재와 전기화재 등에서는 물보다 할론소화약제가 효과적으로 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 할론 등 CFC 계통의 소화약제는 환경오염물질을 내포하며, 지구온난화지수와 오존파괴지수 등이 높아 전세계적으로 그 사용이 중단되고 있다. 이에 대한 대체 기술의 하나로 최근에 관심이 고조되기 시작한 소화기술은 분무 노즐을 이용한 미세물분무(water mist) 소화설비이다.(중략)

Nanofluids is that metallic or nonmetallic nanometer-sized particles are dispersed in liquid and they can be used in various fields to increase the heat transfer rate. This study conducted experiments to evaluate whether the cooling efficiency of nanofluids is better than that of water in spray cooling. A heated surface was designed and fabricated to make the temperature distribution be linear, which was confirmed by three thermocouple measurements under the heated surface. Spray cooling experiments were conducted using water, 0.2% wt. (weight), and 0.5% wt. $Al_2O_3$ nanofluids at the pressure of 0.2 MPa and 0.3 MPa. Based on the results, it is shown that the cooling efficiency of nanofluids is higher than that of water especially in the region of single phase heat transfer. As a result, we can expect that nanofluids can be used as efficient coolants in the cooling of electronic packages where the temperature of the heated surface is not high enough for boiling incipience.

The effects of heat-treatment with magnetic or non-magnetic field on magnetic properties of gas-atomized MPP dust cores subjected to various cooling processes after annealing were investigated. Upon magnetic-field annealing, ac permeability and core loss decreased with the increase of cooling rate, which were attributed to the generation of inhomogeneous internal stress and anomalous eddy current loss, respectively. It was not observed the formation of ordered phase and the related change in magnetic properties at the cooling stage for MPP dust cores. In MPP alloys, magnetic anisotropy was easily induced through the directional order, and permeability and core loss were changed under the conditions of low cooling rate and magnetic annealing.
