열전소재의 열전성능을 평가하기 위해서는 샘플 내 상하부 온도구배가 필요하다. 하지만 진공챔버 내에서는 대류효과가 제한되어, 1 mm 이하 두께의 얇은 샘플은 상하부 방향으로 온도 구배를 조성하기 어렵다. 온도 구배를 조성하기 위해서는 샘플의 두께 방향을 관통하는 열유속이 필요하며, 진공 분위기에서 열유속을 조성하기 위해서는 히터뿐만 아니라 별도의 열배출기가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 열전특성 측정 장비 내 수냉식 열배출기의 설계를 위해, 열배출기의 층수를 달리하며 열전달거동을 수치해석적인 방법으로 연구하였다. 열배출기의 층수에 따른 영향을 평가하기 위해서 동일한 채널길이를 유지시키면서 층수를 달리하는 기하학적인 구조들을 설계하였다. 수치해석을 용이하게 진행하기 위해, 열배출기의 형태는 단순한 bar 형태를 가진 1-5층의 다층 구조 로 설계하였다. 열배출기들 각각의 열전달 효율을 평가하기 위해, 수냉식 열배출기의 열배출량에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 질량유량을 0.1-1 g/s로 변화 시키면서 열전달 거동을 확인하였다. 또한 냉각수의 기화 현상을 방지하기 위해 발열체의 온도를 290-370 K로 바꿔 가며 열전달 거동을 확인하였다. 수치 해석결과, 5층의 열배출기가 최대 120 W/cm2 로 높은 단위면적당 열배출량을 가지는 것을 확인하였으나, 열배출기 전체의 열배출량을 기준으로하는 열배출효율은 0.6 정도로 낮은 효율을 가짐을 확인하였다. 반면에 3층의 열배출기의 경우, 열배출 효율이 0.8에 달하며, 2층의 열배출기 보다 열배출 효율이 좋다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

This study examined the convective heat transfer characteristics of nanofluids flowing over a heated fine wire. Convective heat transfer coefficients were measured for four different nano-engine-oil samples under three different temperature boundary conditions, i.e., both or either variation of wire and fluid temperature and constant film temperature. Experimental investigations that the increase in the convective heat transfer coefficients of nanofluids in the internal pipe flow often exceeded the increase in thermal conductivity were recently published; however, the current study did not confirm these results. Analyzing the behavior of the convective heat transfer coefficient under various temperature conditions was a useful tool to explain the relation between the thermal conductivity and the boundary layer thickness of nanofluids.

In the unlikely of nuclear reactor meltdown, the leaked core melt or corium must be contained in a device called core-catcher so that the corium can be cooled and stabilized. The ex-vessel behavior of corium involves complex physical and chemical mechanisms of flow propagation, heat transfer, and reactions with sacrificial substrates. In this study, the detailed characteristics of corium flow and heat transfer were investigated by using a commercial CFD code for VULCANO VE-U7 test reported in the literature. The volume-of-fluid (VOF) model was used to predict the interfacial surface formation of corium and the surrounding air, and the discrete ordinate model was adopted to calculate radiation between corium and the surroundings. It was found that cooling via radiation through the top surface of corium had a dominant effect on the temperature and viscosity profiles at the front of the corium flow.

범용 전산유체 해석코드인 CFX 4.1을 사용하여 철재격납용기 표면을 전열면으로 이용하는 피동격납용기냉각계통에 대한 열전달 현상해석을 수행하였다. 철재격납용기 내부와 외부 채널에서 발생하는 열전달 현상을 모사하기 위하여 액막의 유동 및 온도계산 모델을 범용 전산유체해석코드인 CFX4.1에 적용하여 철재격납용기 내.외부의 표면을 흐르는 액막의 높이, 액막내 온도분포, 철재격납용기 내.외부의 온도, 유속 및 부피분율 등을 계산하는 복합 열전달 해석 방법론을 개발하였다. 해석결과는 향후 실험 둥을 통한 검증이 필요하나 피동형 격납용기템각계통에서 발생하는 물리적 현상들의 복합적인 거동 분석에 사용될 수 있는 것으로 평가되었다.

본 연구에서는 지열 에너지원으로써 터널 내부 벽면의 항온성을 이용하여 터널 외벽에 텍스타일 형태의 열교환기를 설치하고 열적 거동을 평가하였다. 터널의 라이닝 부분에서는 여러 가지 요인에 의해 지하수가 터널 내부로 유입하게 되므로 지하수의 유무에 대한 열적 거동 및 유동액의 순환 속도에 따른 영향, 열교환 파이프 배열 형태에 따른 영향을 현장 시험 시공과 현장 열응답시험을 통하여 평가하고자 하였다. 또한 3-D 유한체적해석 프로그램(FLUENT)을 이용하여 숏크리트와 라이닝의 열전도도를 고려한 열교환기의 성능을 분석하였다. 수치해석 결과 열교환 파이프 주변에 지하수의 흐름이 존재할 경우 열전달이 상대적으로 더 원활히 이루어졌으며 순환속도가 빠를 때 보다 느릴수록 효율이 높게 나타났다. 또한, 파이프의 간격이 넓을수록, 파이프의 길이가 길수록 효율이 높게 나타났다. 라이닝 및 숏크리트의 열전도도가 증가함에 따라 에너지 텍스타일의 열전달 효율이 높게 나타났다. 현장 시험을 통해 비슷한 길이의 파이프가 사용된 경우, 파이프 배열 형태에 따라 수평형보다는 수직형 배열의 효율이 높게 측정되었다.

This paper presents the thermal conduction analysis (using ABAQUS ver 6.10 and FLUENT ver 6.3.26) of geothermal energy for PHC, steel and copper energy piles by considering subsurface environment, thermal efficiency of grouting materials, and fluid velocity of circulating fluid. Results show that higher thermal efficiency for copper pile is observed followed by steel and PHC piles depending on the grouting materials and subsurface condition. The fluid velocity of 0.6m/s presents most efficient outflow temperature (275.4K) and heat exchange rate (103.1W/m) for the case of PHC pile during 8 hours operation. Analysis of operation schedule concludes that 16 hours of stand-by allows charging geothermal energy following 8 hours operation in winter season is most appropriate with 0.1K of temperature difference from the steady-state condition.

In this work, we study a heat transfer enhancement technology using fan-shaped small-scale fins. Fins having a thickness of 10 ${\mu}m$ move up-down by a pulsating flow. Owing to these motions, the heat transfer on a surface increases dramatically. The two-way FSI (fluid-structure interaction) method was applied for the analysis, and the analysis model was evaluated using a single fin model by comparing the experimental results. In summary, a maximum 40% increase in heat transfer capacity using a single and multiple small-scale fins was obtained in comparison with the results obtained without using fins. From this work, we believe that the proposed method can be a promising method for heat transfer enhancement in real applications.

The LWR fuel performance analysis computer code, FRAPCON-1, are evaluated to investigate the performance of CANDU fuel elements loaded in Wolsung-1 reactor. The FRAPCON-1 models of neutron flux depression in fuel and of fuel-to-cladding heat transfer are modified, and the validity of fission gas release model for CANDU fuel is evaluated. And the heavy water properties are provided in calculating the heat transfer coefficient between cladding and coolant. By using the modified code, FRAPCON-1-CSK, the sensitivity studies are carried out for Wolsung-1 fuel element design parameters. The performance analysis is also performed for Wolsung-l fuel elements. The calculated results are discussed in terms of. LWR fuel design criteria because of unavailability of CANDU fuel design criteria.

This study presents the thermal behaviors of glass beads-rubber mixtures depending on the volumetric fraction of each constituent and relative size between them. The transient plane source method is used to measure the effective thermal conductivity of mixtures. The discrete element method (DEM) and the thermal network model are integrated to investigate the particle-scale mechanism of heat transfer in granular packings. Results show that 1) the effective thermal conductivity decreases as the rubber fraction increases, and 2) the relative size between two solid particles dominates the spatial configuration of inter-particle contact condition that in tum determines the majority of heat propagation path through particle contacts. For the mixtures whose volumetric fraction of rubber is identical, the less conductive materials (e.g., rubber particles) with a large size facilitate heat transfer in granular materials. The experimental results and particle-scale observation highlight that the thermal conduction behavior is dominated not only by the volumetric fraction but also the spatial configuration of each constituent.

Heat transfer model and energy dissipation rate were investigated to examine the heat transfer mechanism in bubble columns with continuous operation. The energy dissipation rate($E_D$) obtained from the unsteady state heat transfer model based on the surface renewal theory was significantly small, comparing with the hydrodynamic energy dissipation rate($P_v$) calculated from the overall hydrodynamic energy balance based on the behaviors and holdups of gas and liquid phases in the column. It was found from these results that the energy dissipation rate based on the surface renewal theory is independent of the hydrodynamic energy dissipation rate obtained from the overall hydrodynamic energy balance in the bubble column, in considering their mechanism. The different two energy dissipation rates were correlated in terms of operating variables within this experimental conditions, respectively.
