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.

Aspect-ratio-based numerical analysis is carried out to investigate the air-side convective heat transfer characteristics in compact heat exchangers with circular tubes and flat tubes-plate fins. The RNG $k-{\varepsilon}$ model is adopted for turbulence analysis. The numerical analysis is carried out for aspect ratios ranging from 3.06 to 5.44 and for Reynolds numbers ranging from 1,000 to 10,000. The calculated results indicate a correlation between the friction factor and Colburn j factor in the compact heat exchanger system for the range of aspect ratios under consideration. The results obtained for circular tubes and flat tubes-plate fins in this study can be utilized to realize the optimal design of an air conditioning system.

This paper measures the forced convective heat transfer from heated cylinder to air flow in a rectangular duct at Re$_{D}$ =2,337, 4,589, 6,621 and 7,944 through experiments. And the heat transfer is computed by 3-D numerical computation in which various turbulent models are applied. It is shown through the comparison of experimental and computed data that numerical computation with standard k-$\varepsilon$ model predicts the experimental data most accurately. Furthermore, the correlation from the computed heat transfer is almost similar to that from the experiment when Re$_{D}$ is greater than 4,589. In addition, the correlation of McAdams is the closest to that from experimental data among various correlations from literature in the range of Reynolds number.ber.

The interaction of turbulent mixed convection and surface radiation in a three-dimensional channel with the heated blocks is analyzed numerically. Two blocks are maintained at high temperature and the other bottom and horizontal walls are insulated. S-4 method is employed to calculate the effect of the radiative heat transfer. The low Reynolds number k-$\varepsilon$ model proposed by Launder and Sharma is used to estimate the turbulent influence on the heat transfer enhancement. From above modeling, the effects of various channel specifications on the flow and heat transfer characteristics are investigated. The variables used for the present study are Reynolds number, block spacing, the channel height spacing for block and the emissivity. Average Nusselt numbers along the block surfaces are correlated and presented in terms of Reynolds number, emissivity and dimensionless geometric parameters. For the range of conditions in this study, average Nusselt numbers along the block surfaces are strongly influenced by the Reynolds numbers and channel height spacing for block but weakly influenced by the block spacing and the emissivity of the adiabatic walls.

In the present study, heat transfer characteristics of oil flow over offset strip fins are predicted by the numerical methods. Oil flow in the plate-fin passage is idealized by 2 dimensions. Inlet velocity, Prandtl number and fin pitch ratio are chosen as parameters which affect the heat transfer of offset strip fins. The effect of parameters on pressure drops and convective heat transfer coefficients are described. Characteristic length is derived in case of 2 dimensional flow situation. Correlations for friction factor and convective heat transfer coefficient are derived.

Some studies on direct-contact condensation in cocurrent stratified flow of steam and subcooled water were reviewed. Several approaches have been performed to develop the condensation heat transfer coefficient relationshipo. The local Nusselt number is correlated in terms of the local water Reynolds and Prandtl numbers as well as the steam Froude number. In addition, a turbulence-centered model, developed principally for gas absorption in several geometries, is modified by using calculated interfacial paramters for the turbulent velocity and length scales. These approaches result in a fairly good agreement with the data, whereas, the turbulence-centered model is here rexcommened since it is based on the turbulent properties which may be closely related to the condensation phenemena.

자성나노유체(ferrofluid)는 계면활성제로 코팅된 직경 10 nm인 자성나노입자(magnetic nanoparticle)가 바탕액체(물 또는 오일 등)에 분산하고 있는 액체이다. 최근 연구에 의하면 자성나노 유체가 변압기 절연유로 사용될 경우 열전달 및 절연 특성이 향상된다고 보고되고 있다. 또한 자성나노유체에 포함된 자성나노입자는 영구자석 및 전자석 등에 의한 외부 자기장뿐만 아니라, 두 전극 사이에 인가된 전기장에 의한 유도자기장에 영향을 받는다고 한다. 본 연구에서는 두 전극 사이 전압을 1 kV로 인가한 경우에서 광학현미경을 이용한 자성나노입자의 마이크로 채널(microchannel) 내부 이동특성 관측 및 Maxwell 방정식을 이용한 전자기장 수치해석을 수행하였다. 실험 및 해석 결과를 통하여 자성나노유체에 포함된 자성나노입자가 인가된 전기장에 의하여 발생되는 이동특성을 분석하고, 선행연구에서 보고된 절연특성 변화에 관한 상관관계에 대해 고찰하였다. 광학현미경 관측 결과로부터 전기장이 인가되지 않은 경우에 균일하게 분산되어 있는 자성나노입자는 전기장 인가에 따라 발생되는 유도자기장에 의하여 입자 간의 뭉침(agglomeration) 현상과 전극 주위로 이동하려는 성질을 확인하였다. 또한 수치해석 결과로부터 자성나노입자의 존재로 인하여 전극 사이의 전기장 강도와 자속밀도가 증가함을 확인하였으며, 자성나노입자의 이동을 유발하는 유도자기장이 전극 주위에서 큰 것을 파악할 수 있었다. 이와 같은 결과는 자성나노입자가 변압기 절연유에 첨가된 경우우 절연파괴전압이 변화되는 이유를 설명할 수 있는 근거가 된다.

Numerical analysis has been carried out to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of a plate heat exchanger. The multi-cell models with inlet part and outlet part are used for performing numerical simulation. The plate heat exchanger is characterized by chevron angle of $15^{\circ}$, corrugation pitch of 24mm and corrugation height 6~12mm. The length of the inlet-part considered in the analysis ranges from 24.8 to 124mm and Reynolds numbers range from 1,000 to 10,000. The correlations such as friction factor and Colburn factor are compared with previous experimental data. The results can be utilized for designing the plate heat exchanger.

The critical conditions marking the onset of thermally induced vortices over an inclined iso-thermal plate are investigated using the linear stability theory. The stability equations are simplified by estimating the orders of magnitude of respective terms. The analysis is carried out under the assumption that for the system of large Prandtl numbers temperature disturbances are initiated within the conventional thermal boundary layer of the basic flow. The stability criteria obtained from the present results agree well with those of the existing quasi-parallel flow models. In addition it is found that the critical conditions generate the heat transfer correlation in good agreement with experiments. Therefore, it is suggested that the validity of existing theoretical models will be reexamined.
