The present work reports numerical results of the pressure drop and heat transfer characteristics of pipes with various shapes such as circular, elliptical, circumferential wavy and twisted using a three-dimensional simulation. Numerical simulations are calculated for laminar to turbulent flows. The fully developed flow in pipes was modeled using steady incompressible Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations. The friction and Colburn factor of each pipe are compared with those of a circular tube. The overall flow and heat transfer calculations are evaluated by the volume and area goodness factor. Finally, the objective of the investigation is to find a pipe shape that decreases the pressure loss and increases the heat transfer coefficient.

For performance improvement and compactness, usage of enhanced tube is inevitable. However, studies on enhanced tubes for generator is very limited. In this study, pool boiling tests were conducted for 7 heat transfer tubes. Test range covered pressure 7.38~101.3 kPa and heat flux $20{\sim}40kW/m^2$. Results show that boiling heat transfer coefficient increases as pressure or heat flux increases. Under atmospheric condition, high heat transfer coefficients were obtained for notched fin and low fin tubes(225% and 202% of the 19.0 mm smooth tube, which yielded the lowest heat transfer coefficient). As pressure decreased, high heat transfer coefficients were obtained for a low fin tube(290% and 288% of the 19.0 mm smooth tube at 12.34 and 7.38 kPa).

위성체는 우주공간의 고진공 상태와 태양 복사열에 의한 고온 및 극저온이 반복되는 가혹한 환경으로 인해 주요 부품의 기능장애가 초래되므로 발사전 지상에서 열진공 시험장비를 이용한 열진공시험을 수행한다. 우수한 성능의 위성체 부품의 검증을 위해서 열환경 시험 요구에 따라 균일한 복사열이 매우 중요하나, 시험 조건을 비롯하여 여러 원인으로 인하여 열전달의 불균일성이 발생하게 된다. 이로 인해 시스템에 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있으므로, 시험 조건에 의한 열전달량을 고려하여 적절한 히터파워를 선정하고 챔버 내에 적절한 방열판과 챔버 슈라우드의 열교환이 간섭이 없도록 장비를 운용해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 상용프로그램인 FLUENT를 이용하여 열진공 챔버 내부 벽면의 불균일한 복사열에 따른 비정상 열전달 특성에 대하여 수치해석을 수행한 뒤 시편의 온도 분포 및 열전달 특성에 대해 비교분석하였다.

To increase the heat transfer rate of the air pre-heating heat exchanger used for the condensing boiler, We investigated condensation heat transfer coefficients through plasma surface treatment. The hydrophilic surface showed about 10% increase in heat transfer rate than original plate. It shows that Shah correlation can be used to predict the condensation heat transfer coefficient on the original surface within 10% error range after the compatison between Shah correlation and the condensation heat transfer coefficients measured on the hydrophilic surface and original surface. Therefore, we have shown that Shah correlation is available when designing the air pre-heating heat exchanger using the original surface in this study.

The fin-tube heat exchanger being used for industrial boiler, radiator, refrigerator has been conducted in various studies to improve it's performance. In this study, the characteristics of heat transfer and pressure drop was theoretically analyzed according to longitudinal pitch, location of vortex generator, bump phase and number of the tube surface about the plain fin-tube heat exchanger. The boundary condition for the CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis applied with the SST (Shear Stress Transport) turbulence model assumed as the tube surface temperature of 333 K, the inlet air temperature of 423-438 K and the inlet air velocity of 1.5~2.1 m/s. The analysis results indicated that the heat transfer coefficient is not affected highly by the longitudinal pitch, and the heat transfer characteristics was more favorable when the vortex generator was located in front of the tube. Also the bump phase of the tube surface indicated that circle type was more appropriate than serrated type and triangle type in the characteristics of heat transfer and pressure drop, and the sixteen's bump phase of circle type was most favorable.

In winter, thermal screens are widely used to reduce heat loss from greenhouse to save energy. Unfortunately, not much data are available to the farmer to compare thermal screens while selecting the one that meets their specific requirements. Thus, there is a need to investigate the thermal performance of thermal screens. To address this issue, the Building Energy Simulation (BES) model of a hot box was used to calculate the overall heat transfer coefficient (U-value) of the thermal screens. To validate the model, computed and experimental U-values of single-and double-layered polyethylene (PE) material were compared. This validated model was used to predict the U-values of the selected thermal screens under defined weather conditions. We quantified the U-values of each selected material and significant changes in their U-values were noted in response to different weather conditions. Notably, the thermal properties of the tested screens were taken from the previous literature to calculate U-values using the BES model. The U-values of the thermal screens can help researchers and farmers evaluate their screens and make pre-design decisions that suit their investment capabilities.

In order to improve the heat efficiency of the general residential boiler, we performed an experiment of condensation heat transfer to air pre-heating exchanger adhered to the condensing boiler. In this study, surface roughness was imposed on the surface of stainless steel by etching. And in order to evaluate the heat transfer performance on each plate, the counter flow heat exchanger fabricated with polycarbonate in used. As a result, on etching treated plate's overall heat transfer coefficient is higher than the original plate. And etching treated plate during 60 seconds with etchant is the to average 15% compared to bare stainless steel. And we studied the heat transfer enhancement factor through the analysis of surface characteristics using AFM.

The characteristics of evaporation heat transfer for the utilization of LNG cold energy was investigated experimentally using liquified nitrogen and a solution of ethylene-glycol and water under horizontal two-phase conditions in the small-scale equipment of a cryogenic heat exchange system. The inner tubes in the double pipe heat exchanger with 8 mm and 15 mm inner diameter and 6 m length were adopted as a smooth test tubes and enhanced tubes by means of wire-coil inserts. Heat transfer coefficients and Nusselt number for the test tube were calculated from measurements of temperatures, flowrates and pressures. The correlations in a power-law relationship of the Nusselt number, the Reynolds number and Prandtl number for heat transfer were proposed which can be available for design of cryogenic heat exchangers. The correlations showed heat transfer coefficients for the wire-coil inserts were much higher than those for the smooth tubes, increased by more than 2.5 ${\~}$ 5.5 times depending upon the equivalent Reynolds number. Form and length of cryogenic double pipe heat exchanger were proposed for applicable to the utilization of LNG cold energy.
