Total lengths of domestic pipe network for district heating system are above about 2,500Km. A lots of pumping power for heat transportation through long pipe are required by the flow friction of pipe surface. Until now there have been considered about various methods to reduce the flow friction for district heating system such as using surfactants and turbulence promoters by swirl flow and baffles etc. At this study, swirl flow generator was tested about the possibility to increase the heat transfer ratio at the heat exchanger in the case which the suppling water temperature increased from $50^{\circ}C$ until $120^{\circ}C$. Experimental results showed that the heat transfer ratio increased and also pressure increase ratio increased simultaneously in the case which swirl flow generator installed. The amount of the increasing ratio for heat transfer and pressure were reached until 4.33% and 11% at the case of $120^{\circ}C$ suppling temperature which domestic district heating system were using.

Numerical results of heat transfer from a horizontal isothermal surface are presented for wall temperature T$_{w}$ = 0 .deg. C and ambient water temperature, T$_{\infty}$, from 1 .deg. C to 15 .deg. C. They include streamlines, temperature profiles, local heat transfer coefficients and average Nusselt numbers for the entire flow fields. For a upward-facing horizontal isothermal surface, the results show steady two dimensional flow regimes for T$_{\infty}$ .leg. 4.4 .deg. C, but no solution was obtained above T$_{\infty}$ = 4.4 .deg. C. For a downward-facing horizontal isothermal surface, the flow regimes are steady two dimensional flow for T$_{\infty}$ .geq. 4.9 .deg. C, and the numerical calculation was failed below this ambient water temperature. The mean Nusselt number has its maximum value at about T$_{\infty}$ = 3.4 .deg. C for upward-facing horizontal isothermal surface. For the case of downward-facing horizontal isothermal surface, the mean Nusselt number increases as the ambient water temperature increases.es.s.s.

Currently, vertical closed ground heat exchangers are the most widely utilized geothermal heat pump systems and the major influencing parameters on the performance of ground heat exchangers are the ground thermal conductivity(k) and borehole thermal resistance($R_b$). In this study, the borehole thermal resistance was calculated from the in-situ thermal response test data and the individual effects of design parameters (flow rate, number of pipe, grout composition) on the borehole thermal resistance were analyzed. The grout thermal resistance was also compared with the correlations in the literatures. The borehole thermal resistance of the investigated ground heat exchanger results in 0.1303 W/m.K and the grout thermal resistance (66.6% of borehole thermal resistance) is the most influencing parameter on borehole heat transfer compared to the other design parameters (pipe thermal resistance, 31.5% and convective thermal resistance, 1.9%). In addition, increasing the thermal conductivity of grout by adding silica sand to Bentonite is more effective than the other design improvements, such as an increase in circulating flowrate or number of tubes on enhancing borehole heat transfer.

Augmentation of CHF by ultrasonic vibration in water pool is experimentally investigated under pool boiling condition. The experiments are carried out using copper coated plates and distilled water. Measurements of CHF on flat plate heated surface were made with and without ultrasonic wave and with variations in inclined angle of the surface and water subcooling. Experimental apparatus consists of a bath, power supply, test section, ultrasonic generator, and data acquisition system. The measurements show that ultrasonic wave enhances CHF and its extent is dependent upon inclination angle as well as water subcooling. The rate of increase in CHF increases with an increase in water subcooling while it decreases with an increase in inclination angle. Visual observation shows that the cause of CHF augmentation is closely related with the dynamic behavior of bubble generation and departure in acoustic field.

Axisymmetric circular water jet impinges against rectangular heated surface with uniform hear flux and wire-mesh screens are set up in the nozzle-to-heater space to augment heat transfer. In the free jet region to be used them, pressure drop and intensive turbulence flow was brought up. When water jet system is not used wire-mesh screens, maximum heat transfer appears in the stagnation point and the secondary maximum appears X/D=4 but it disappears when they are is used. In the low velocity(Vo<6.0m/s), coarse mesh-screen enhanced heat transfer but fine mesh-screens inpeded heat transfer. In the high velocity(Vo>6m/s), all of them enhanced heat transfer. Average Nusselt number of experimental system to be used wire-mesh screens was promoted $4{\sim}6$times than that of simple water jet system. The stagnation heat transfer of experimental system to be used wire-mesh screens was augmented 6times that of simple water jet system.

In the present article, we investigate numerically turbulent flow of air through compound rectangular channels. Large eddy simulation(LES) is employed for unsteady turbulence modeling. LES gives better predictions for the axial mean velocity distribution than those of other turbulent models. Strong large-scale quasi-periodic flow oscillations are observed in most of the geometries investigated. Such large-scale flow oscillations in compound rectangular channels are similar to the quasi-periodic flow pulsation through the gaps between fuel rod bundle in nuclear reactor. It exists in any longitudinal connecting gap between two flow channels. The frequency of this flow oscillation is determined by the geometry of the gap. The large scale cross motions through the rectangular compound channels induce significant heat transfer enhancement of the compound channel flow.

The impinging air jet system is still being used in the various fields with its inherent merits, that is, the easiness in engineering application and high heat transfer coefficients at stagnation point. The purpose of this study is augmentation of heat transfer without additional power in the rectangular air jet which impinges vertically to the heating surface. As a method of passive heat transfer augmentation in a two-Dimensional impinging jet, the transverse-repeated surface roughness of square cross-section is used. This paper deals with the experimental study on the characteristics of heat transfer at the x-direction in between nozzle exit and heating surface of flat plate, and that of ribbed plate. And this study also investigates the effect of square rib widths. The integral average heat transfer coefficient of ribbed plate is about 2.2 times larger than that of flat plate.

The purpose of this study is an augmentation of heat transfer in the case of upward rectangular impinging water jet system. The variables of this study are nozzle-to-heated surface distance, jet velocity and supplementary water height. Optimum heights of supplementary water which augment the heat transfer rate are S/B=2 for H/B=30 and S/B=I for H/B=40, 50. On the Y-direction of nozzle, there exhibits the secondary peak of heat transfer coefficient when supplementary water is not used, however using the supplementary water, it does not exhibits. In the case of using supplementary water, heat transfer coefficient increases not only in stagnation region but also in wall jet region.

The objective of this experimental study was to investigate the characteristics of heat transfer and air flow in two-dimensional impinging jet system, in which hybrid rods have been set up in front of heating surface in order to increase heat transfer. The shape of hybrid rods had a cross section made with a half of circular cross section and that of rectangular. This time, the clearance from hybrid rod to heating surface(C=1, 2, 4mm) and the pitch between each hybrid rods(P=30, 40, 50mm) changed for the transition region(H/B=10). And this result compared with the experimentation without hybrid rod. As a result, heat transfer performance was best under the condition of C=1mm, in case clearance changed, and as the pitch is 30mm, it is largely influenced by eddies and acceleration in case pitch of hybrid rod changed.

An experimental study of the heat transfer characteristics between circular water jet and cylindrical inner surface is presented. The ratios of the semi-cylinder's inner diameter and the nozzle outlet diameter were varied parametrically, as were the Reynolds number and the supplementary water heights. The measurements showed that cirucmferential distribution of the heat transfer coefficient peaked at the stagnation point and, there occurred a kind of a secondary maximum of heat transfer that moved toward to stagnation point as the ratio d/D increased. The local heat transfer coefficient increases as the Reynolds number becomes larger, and the rate of increase is subjected to the influence of d/D & position of angle. Also, optimum heights of supplementary water which brings about the augmentation of heat transfer are S/D=1 for the stagnation point, the position of $15^{\circ}$ & $30^{\circ}$ angle, but for the positions of $45^{\circ}$ angle (d/D=10~11.67), $60^{\circ}$ & $75^{\circ}$ angle, the heat transfer coefficients in the case of using supplementary water are smaller than simple jet (S/D=0).
