The heat transfer over a radial heat sink, adapted for LED (light emitting diode) downlights, was experimentally and analytically investigated. We added radiation heat transfer into a previous calculation that neglected this factor. The numerical results agreed well with experimental results. Parametric studies were performed to compare the effects of the geometric parameters (fin length, fin height, ideal number of fins) and the operating parameter (heat flux) on the average heat-sink temperature from the heat-sink array. We found the fin length that maximizes the heattransfer performance. As the emissivity increased, the effect of geometric parameters on the radiation heat transfer decreased.

This research is to numerically investigate the convective cooling performance in the Disk brake. Research concentrates on the heat transfer coefficient and cooling performance which are selected with cooling local locations. Cooling performance of the Hole disk has been compared by Ventilated Disk. According to the results of heat transfer on the disk brake, activated velocity distributions more appear in the Hole disk. This is due to the fact that a number of hole units have exactly 120 on the surface of the hole disk. Therefore, velocity distributions of hole disk brake is better activated than Ventilated disk. According to the calculations of Nusselt number between surface and atmosphere in the interested cooling area, average value of cooling effect has been increased 13.5% by the hole disk at driving of speed 65 km/h situation and grown 18% by the hole disk at driving speed of 100 km/h. Due to the flow of air through the hole route, cooling performance of the hole disk was very excellent. In addition, cooling effect on edge of the bottom is better than the vicinity of center.

In order to improve the sensitivity of the wafer type heat flux sensor, some heat flux sensors were manufactured and examined by using thermoelectric semiconductor material (bismuth telluride) whose Seebck coefficient is much larger than those of metallic thermocouple materials. Because the thermoelectric element cannot be bended or welded, a peculiar sensor structure and manufacturing process were designed. As a result, it is revealed that the characteristic sensitivity of the manufactured sensor is about 10 times larger than that of marketed sensor even though there are some troubles in stiffness for reciprocal use. If we make this kind of sensors smaller and thinner, it will be a useful method to measure the local heat flux from the surface of complex configuration.

The effect of secondary flow on the heat transfer of a turbulent wake generated by a flat plate was experimentally investigated. The secondary flow was induced in a curved duct in which the flat plate wake generator was installed. All three components of turbulent heat flux were measured in the plane containing the mean radius of curvature of the curved duct. The results showed that mean temperature profiles deviate from the similarity of the straight wake because of the cold fluid transported from the free-stream. The half-width of the mean temperature profile increased rapidly by upwash motion of the secondary flow. The changes to turbulence structure caused by the secondary flow show more pronounced effect on heat transport than on momentum transport. This is because the response to the variation of flow conditions is delayed in temperature field. Negative production of the turbulent heat flux is observed in the inner wake region. From the conditional averaging, it has been found that the negative production of the turbulent heat flux is generated due to a mixing process between the hot and low momentum eddies occupied in the inner wake region and the cold and high momentum eddies in the potential region.

The error in measuring temperature profiles by thermocouple inside boundary layer mostly comes from the conduction heat transfer of the thermocouple. The error is not negligible when the conductivity of the thermocouple is very high. In this study, the effect of conduction heat transfer of the thermocouple on the temperature profile inside boundary layer was examined by considering both free-stream velocity and a thermocouple position. The conduction error of an E-type thermocouple was investigated by numerical analysis of three-dimensional conjugate heat transfer for various velocity profiles of boundary layer and thermocouple positions.

The purpose of this experimental research is to investigate the local heat transfer characteristics in the upward free water jet impinged on a downward flat plate of uniform heat flux. The inner shape of rectangular nozzle used was sine curve type and its contraction ratio of inlet to outlet area was five. Experimental parameters considered were Reynolds number, nozzle exit-flat plate distance, and level of supplementary water. Local Nusselt number was influenced by Reynolds number, Prandtl number, supplementary water level, and distance between the nozzle exit and flat plate. Within the impingement region, the Nusselt number has a maximum value on the nozzle center axis and decreases monotonically outward from center. Outside of the impingement region, on the other hand, the Nusselt number has a secondary peak near the position where the distance from nozzle center reaches four times the nozzle width. However if nozzle exit velocity exceeds 6.2 m/s, the secondary peak appears also in the impingement region. The empirical equation for the stagnation heat transfer is a function of Prandtl, Reynolds, and axial distance from the nozzle exit. The optimum level of supplementary water to augment the heat transfer rate at stagnation point was found to be twice the nozzle width.

Experimental results are presented, which describe the effect of blowing ratio on film cooling from two rows of holes with opposite orientation angles. The inclination angle is fixed at 35°, and the orientation angles are set to be 45°for the downstream row, and -45°for the upstream row. The studied blowing ratios are 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0. The boundary layer temperature distributions are measured using thermocouple at two downstream locations. Detailed adiabatic film cooling effectiveness and heat transfer coefficient distributions are measured with TLC(Thermochromic Liquid Crystal). The adiabatic film cooling effectiveness and heat transfer coefficient distributions are discussed in connection with the injectant behaviors inferred from the boundary layer temperature distributions. Film cooling performance, represented by heat flux is evaluated from the adiabatic film cooling effectiveness and heat transfer coefficient data. The results show that the investigated geometry provides improved film cooling performance at the high blowing ratios of 1.0 and 2.0.

To evaluate the hydraulic resistance behind bodies in a large scale grid numerical model, a drag stress term which is formulated by the drag force is introduced in the depth-integrated Reynolds equations. And also, the applicability and problems of this model are discussed through various numerical experiments where the analytical solutions exist. In the case of a single body, the error range of velocity difference between analytical and numerical solutions is within $\pm$10% and the wake width behind the body shows a good agreement with the analytical solution. When the drag coefficient and the eddy viscosity are precisely decided, the numerical solutions behind a row of bodies will be efficiently used in real situations.

산불의 확산형태 중 지표화 확산을 방지하기 위해 대표적인 진화방법으로는 방화선을 구축하는 것이다. 지표화는 산림의 연료중 낙엽층, 잔가지 등 지표면의 연료층이 열분해되면서 확산되기 때문에 방화선 구축을 통해 연료층을 제거하면 지표화 확산을 저지할 수 있다. 하지만 방화선 구축 폭에 따라 산불확산 방지 효과가 크게 달라질 수 있으므로 적정한 방화선 구축 폭을 설정하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 적정 방화선 구축 폭을 살펴보기 위해 풍동시험장치를 이용하여 풍속 0, 1, 2, 3m/s조건에서 지표화 화염으로부터 이격 거리에 따른 온도측정과 함께 방화선 구축 폭에 따른 확산가능 여부를 평가하였다. 50cm 폭의 소나무 낙엽에 대한 풍속별 지표화 방화선 구축 실험결과, 풍속 3m/s에서 화염으로부터 소나무 낙엽의 착화온도인 $311^{\circ}C$에 도달하는 거리가 약 0.65m로 나타났고 풍속이 낮을수록 착화온도 도달거리가 줄어드는 것을 알 수 있다. 실제 0.6m 방화선 구축의 경우, 화염이 계속 확산되었고 0.65m 이상의 방화선 구축시에는 화염확산이 이루어지지 않았다. 따라서 향후, 수치해석을 이용한 열유속 평가 결과와 함께 본 연구의 실험결과와 비교평가 함으로써 지표화 산불확산 방지를 위한 적정 방화선 구축 폭 산정을 평가하고자 한다.
