An analysis on the thermal instability of horizontal Blasius flow in the form of longitudinal vortices has been carried out by introducing the 3-dimensional spatial dependence of the disturbance quantities. The stability problem has been simplified significantly by considering the limiting case of infinite Prandtl number and by skilfully replacing the boundary conditions at infinity with the interface conditions at the edge of the thermal boundary layer (or by simply confining the thermal disturbances in the thermal boundary layer). The advantage of this approach is that the critical values marking the onset of thermal instability can be readily obtained as solutions of the eigenvalues problems formulated by a 6*6(or a 5*5) determinant. Present analysis provides reasonable explanations on the existing experimental and theoretical data. Especially, the heat transfer correlation based on the present analysis agrees well with the existing experimental data.

Water jet impingement cooling is used to remove heat from high-temperature surfaces such as hot steel plates in the steel manufacturing process (thermo-mechanical cooling process; TMCP). In those processes, uniform cooling is the most critical factor to ensure high strength steel and good quality. In this study, experiments are performed to measure the heat transfer coefficient together with the inverse heat conduction problem (IHCP) analysis for a plate cooled by planar water jet. In the inverse heat transfer analysis, spatial and temporal variations of heat transfer coefficient, with no information regarding its functional form, are determined by employing the conjugate gradient method with an adjoint problem. To estimate the two dimensional distribution of heat transfer coefficient and heat flux for planar waterjet cooling, eight thermo-couple are installed inside the plate. The results show that heat transfer coefficient is approximately uniform in the span-wise direction in the early stage of cooling. In the later stage where the forced-convection effect is important, the heat transfer coefficient becomes larger in the edge region. The surface temperature vs. heat flux characteristics are also investigated for the entire boiling regimes. In addition, the heat transfer rate for the two different plate geometries are compared at the same Reynolds number.

In this study, an analysis of natural convection of magnetic fluids in a closed-semicircular pipe was performed by the numerical methods. For the numerical method GSMAC method of Siliomis is used. From the results of numerical methods it is verified that the natural convection of the magnetic fluid, I investigated the nature convection phenomenon of the magnetic fluid with numerical analysis and was going to study the thermodynamic characteristic of the magnetic fluid. Because the effect of magnetic field control natural convection, we needed to find effective method to eliminate heat in the cure of heat transfer.

The performance of heat transfer through double pane window has been investigated using experimental and numerical methods. The range of the gap distance between glasses are 0.5-10 cm. The convection heat transfer plays the dominant role for the case of the wide gap distance together with the large Rayleigh number and thereby, reduces the enhanced thermal resistance due to the increased air gap, while the conduction heat transfer does the major role for the case of small gap distance. In order to enhance the thermal insulation of the double pane window, the heat transfer of triple pane window, which is constructed to put one more glass at the middle of the double pane, is investigated to check the reduction of the convection heat transfer together with the effect of the radiation shield due to the presence of the additional glass. Further, a spacer is installed at the middle height of the double pane, and the effect of which on the suppression of the convective heat transfer is analyzed carefully, using experimental and numerical methods. For the case of the spacer-installation, the amount of energy saving is considered about 10%, but the energy saving increases a lot to 30-50% for the case of triple pane window, due to the substantial radiation shield effect of the presence of the additional glass.

Focusing effect of a metallic layer in a severe accident depending on the aspect ratios and cooling conditions of top plate and side wall was investigated. Experiments were carried out for Rayleigh numbers and aspect ratio in the range of $8.49{\times}10^7{\sim}5.43{\times}10^9$, 0.135~0.541 respectively. In order to achieve high Rayleigh numbers, the heat transfer experiments were replaced by mass transfer experiments based on the heat and mass transfer analogy. A sulfuric acid-copper sulfate ($H_2SO4-CuSO_4$) electroplating system was adopted as the mass transfer system. The experimental results agreed well with the Rayleigh-Benard natural convection correlations of Dropkin and Somerscales and Globe and Dropkin. When compared with the standard Rayleigh-Benard problem, the cooling by the side wall is even higher than the top. For a shorter height, the interaction between the heated and cooled plumes increases due to decrease of the height. Thus, the heat transfer increases.

An efficient method to predict the convection heat transfer coefficients on the top surface of the engine piston is proposed. The method is based on the inverse method of the thermal conduction problem and uses a numerical optimization technique. In the method, the heat transfer coefficients are numerically obtained so that the difference between analyzed temperatures from the finite element method and measured temperatures is minimized. The method can be effectively used to analyze the temperature distribution of engine pistons in case when application of prescribed-temperature boundary condition is not reasonable because of insufficient number of measured temperatures. A hollow sphere problem with an analytic solution is taken as a simple example and accuracy and efficiency is demonstrated. The method is applied to a practical large liquid petroleum gas(LPG) engine piston and the heat transfer coefficients on the top surface of the piston is successfully calculated. Resulting analyzed temperature favorably coincides with measured temperature.

직접접촉 얼교환 기술은 냉각탑, 접촉급수 가열기 및 공기분리기 등과 같은 장치에 예전부터 이용되어 왔는데, 그 주요한 적용이유는 가열유체와 수열유체의 사이에 일어나는 전열이 일반 열교환기와는 달리 고체벽(금속 열전달표면)을 통과하지 않고 열교환을 함으로써, 종래의 열교 환기에 비하여 상대적으로 설비의 간단화, 부식 및 스케일 부착문제가 경감됨에 따른 적은 유 지보수비 및 높은 열전달률을 얻을수 있는 이점이 있으며, 저 온도차에서의 효율적인 사용이 가능하기 때문이다. 이 글에서는 직접접촉응축 현상의 장점을 이용하는 직접접촉식 교환기의 구조와 형태, 그리고 그 응용분야에 대해서 알아보고자 한다.

A simplified thermal analysis method to evaluate the maximum temperature of the CANDU 37-element fuel bundle within a fuel basket in a given spent fuel dry storage canister has been presented along with the results of sample analyses performed to examine the parametric effects of the ambient conditions on the maximum fuel temperature within a canister. To solve the multi-dimensional heat transfer problem of the complex geometry of rod bundles within a canister where three modes of heat transfer are superimposed, the CANDU spent fuel bundles stored in the dry storage canister are first replaced by equivalent concentric fuel cylinders. The simplified axi-symmetric two-dimensional multi-mode heat transfer problem of the equivalent fuel cylinders is then analyzed with an existing computer code, HEATING5, using additional input data and heat transfer correlations. A comparison between the predicted temperature profile and the mock-up test results shows that the agreement is quite satisfactory.
