The present study has been conducted to understand the heat and mass transfer characteristics of humid airflow in frosting conditions. A flat plate of aluminum was used for the simulation of flat surface part of the fin of the heat exchanger. The aluminum surface temperatures were measured and analyzed to clarify the heat and mass transfer characteristics under frosting conditions. Also, the pressure drops were measured to clarify the air-blocking effect of frost in the mini channel of the air-side hoot exchangers. A data reduction method was developed far the analysis of local characteristics of humid air under frosting conditions.

The improvement of energy conservation is mandatory to decrease consumption of fossil fuels and to minimize negative impacts on the environment which originates from large cooling and heating demand. The absorption heat pump technology has a large potential for energy-saving in this respect. Absorption heat pump is a means to upgrade waste heat without the addition of extra thermal energy. The higher performance of absorber is of great importance for absorption heat pump cycle. In this study, in order to improve the performance of absorber, the absorber of tangential feed of a liquid phase with spiral tube has been investigated using methanol-glycerine as a working fluid. The spiral tube and tangential feeding generate the turbulence into the liquid flow while increasing the mass and heat transfer coefficients. The simultaneous heat and mass transfer were found to take place in a liquid turbulent film in the absorber with the spiral tube during the process of gas absorption. By calculating mass and heat transfer coefficients by measurement of the concentration and the temperature of each position in the absorber, the entrance was found to be more effective in enhancing mass and heat transfer.

An experimental study was conducted to investigate the effect of a tube row, a fin pitch and an inlet humidity on air-side heat and mass transfer performance of louvered fin-tube heat exchangers under wet conditions. Experimental conditions were varied by three fin pitches, two rows, two inlet relative humidities. Experimental results showed that the heat transfer performance decreased and the friction increased with the decrease of fin pitch, for 2 row heat exchanger. The effect of fin pitch on heat transfer performance was negligible with 3 row heat exchanger. The changes in relative humidity was not affected heat transfer and friction. However, the mass transfer performance was slightly decreased with the increase of relative humidity and with the decrease of fin pitch. The mass transfer performance of the louvered fin-tube heat exchanger decreased with the decrease of the fin pitch and was different according to the number of tube row.

The experimental investigation of thermal response characteristics by the air flow through the porous media has been carried out. The packed spheres of steel or glass were considered as the porous media in the present study. Temperature distributions of the fluid in the porous media as well as pressure drops through the porous media were measured. The transient temperature variations in the porous media are compared favorably with the analytical results in the high Reynolds number ranges. However, in the low Reynolds number ranges, the experimental data deviate from the analytical results, due to the dominant heat conduction penetration to the upstream direction, which is not considered in the analytical model. The cool-down response of porous media is found to be dependent upon the specific dimensionless time considering the material property and air velocity. The heat discharge process is recommended to be operated until a certain time, considering the cost efficiency.

This study is about the modeling and simulation of heat transfer in the box for packaging and shipping of vaccines. Comparison of the simulation results with experimental data revealed that a one-dimensional model (a spherical model of using a radius equivalent to the rectangular geometry of box) showed good agreement with experimental data during cooling process but did not successfully simulate heating process. It is considered that a rigorous boundary condition is not properly applied for outer surface of the box. However, we could successfully develop a basic algorithm for simulating heat transfer through multi-slabs combined with different materials including phase change material.

산업의 발달과 환경에 대한 관심이 높아짐에 따라 고효율, 저공해인 가스터빈의 응용범위가 넓어지고 있는 추세이다. 가스터빈 기관의 효율을 높이기 위해서는 터빈 입구온도를 높이는 것이 필수적인데 이는 재질에 의해 제한 받게 되고 이 때문에 효과적인 냉각방법의 필요성이 대두되었다 충돌제트는 국소적으로 높은 열/물질 전달 효과를 얻을 수 있어서 터빈 블레이드 냉각과 연소기 벽면 냉각에 효과적으로 응용 될 수 있다. 이러한 충돌제트의 냉각효과는 제트출구의 초기조건에 매우 민감한데 Kelvin-Helmholts 불안정은 불안정한 자유전단층에서 자연적인 와류생성(roll up)과 개개의 와류고리 형성의 원인이 되고 이 고리의 성장과 병합(pairing)은 제트의 유동특성에 상당히 영향을 미친다. 제트주위에 생성되는 이러한 와류에 의해 제트중심에서 속도와 난류강도가 변하게 된다. 이러한 제트초기의 불안정성은 하류에서의 와류성장에 영향을 끼치기 때문에 와류의 조절에 의한 충돌 면에의 열 전달 효과 상승을 기대할 수 있다. 이 조절방법은 크게 두 가지로 나눌 수 있는데 하나는 제트주의 환형관에 이차유동을 가하여 와류를 직접 제어함으로써 자유전단류(free shear layer flow)의 안정성 원리를 이용하여 열 전달을 촉진하는 것이고 다른 하나는 음향여기(acoustic exitation)를 사용하여 제트주위의 와류형성을 조절하는 것인데, 자연적으로 형성되는 와류의 주파수(와류의 고유주파수)나 부조화 주파수(subharmonic)로 음향여기 시키는 경우 제트 주위 와류는 더욱 증폭되고 그렇지 않은 경우 제트주위 와류의 형성이 억제되어 더 긴 제트코어의 길이 및 제트코어 주위에서 작은 크기의 와류들이 형성된다.

A numerical study of a microchannel steam methane reforming reactor has been performed to understand the characteristics of heat and mass transfer. The integration of Rh-catalyzed steam methane reforming and Pt-catalyzed methane combustion has been simulated. The reaction rates for chemical reactions have been incorporated into the simulation. This study investigated the effect of contact time, flow pattern (parallel or counter), and channel size on the reforming performance and temperature distribution. The parallel and counter flow have opposite temperature distribution, and they show a different type of reaction rate and species mole fraction. As the contact time decreases and channel size increases, mass transfer between the catalyst layer and the flow is limited, and the reforming performance is decreased.
