The heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics associated with the gas cooling of the supercritical carbon dioxide in a horizontal tube have been investigated experimentally. This problem is of particular interest in the design of a gas cooler of cooling systems using $CO_2$refrigerant. The test section is consisted of 6 series of 455 mm in length, 4.15 mm ID copper tube, respectively. The effects of the inlet temperature, pressure and mass flow rate on the heat transfer and pressure drop of $CO_2$in a horizontal tube is studied in detail. The heat transfer coefficient of $CO_2$is varied by temperature, inlet pressure, and mass flow rate of $CO_2$. This has maximum value at near the pseudocritical temperature. The pressure drop is changed by inlet pressure and mass flow rate of $CO_2$. The results have been compared with those of previous work. The heat transfer correlation at the supercritical gas cooling process is also suggested.

Recently large capacity of electric equipment and increasing in atomic power generation are shown. One of the reason is shortage of the electric power supply for air conditioning load during summer. And every consumer is concerning about economical refrigeration and air conditioning system to decreases electric power consumption and decrease in global warming. For these necessities, ice making thermal storage system is required. Therefore, in this paper, the possibility of continuous slurry ice making using flowing organic water solution in cooled circular tube has been investigated. The experiments was carried out under some parameters of concentration and velocity of water solution, temperature of cooled tube wall, and control pressure in tube, As a result, four types of operating conditions in the pipe, that was supercooling, continuous ice making, intermittent ice making and ice blockage, were classified . And it was found that the critical condition for continuous ice making was acquired as a function of these experimental parameters.

This paper presents the experimental results of evaporation heat transfer coefficients of HC(e.g. R290 and R600a), R-22 as a HCFCs refrigerant in horizontal double pipe heat exchangers, having four different inner diameters of 10.07 mm and 6.54 mm respectively. The experiments of the evaporation process were conducted at mass flux of $35.5{\sim}210.4\;kg/m^2s$ and cooling capacity of $0.95{\sim}10.1\;kW$. The main results were summarized as follows : The average evaporation heat transfer coefficient of R-290 and R-600a was higher value than that of R-22. In comparison with R-22, the evaporation heat transfer coefficient of R-290 and 600a is approximately $56.7{\sim}70.1$ and $46.6{\sim}59.7%$ higher, respectively. In comparison with experimental data and some correlations, the evaporation heat transfer coefficients are well matched with the Kandlikar's correlation regardless of a type of refrigerants and tube diameters.

A condensation heat transfer model is very important for the safety analysis of nuclear power plants. Especially, condensation under the presence of noncondensable gases (NCGs) is an important issue in nuclear safety because the presence of even a small quantity of NCGs in the vapor largely reduces the condensation rate. In this study, the condensation heat transfer model of the severe accident analysis code MELCOR 1.8.6 has been assessed using a set of condensation experiments performed under the thermal-hydraulic conditions similar to those inside a containment during design-basis accidents or severe accidents. Experiment conditions are categorized into 4 types according to the shape of the condensation surface: vertical flat plates, outer surface of vertical pipes, inner surface of vertical pipes, the inner surface of horizontal pipes. The results of the calculations show that the MELCOR code generally under-predicts the condensation heat transfer except the condensation on inner surface of vertical pipes.

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.
