In this paper, evaporation heat transfer characteristics of propane and iso-butane in micro-fin tubes were investigated experimentally. Test section has a micro-fin tube with outside diameter of 12.70 mm, and 75 fins with a fin heights of 0.25 mm. The experimental results summarize as the followings: The average evaporation heat transfer coefficients of He's refrigerants is higher than those of HCFC22, and appeared in the order of iso-butane, propane with respect to the approaching of the high mass flux. The evaporation heat transfer coefficient of micro fin tube is about $10{\sim}80%$ higher than those of smooth tube. This results from the study can be used in the case of designing heat transfer exchanger using hydrocarbons as the refrigerant for the air-conditioning systems.

When nonuniform thermal boundary conditions are imposed on the surface of a circular cylinder in crossflow, the heat transfer characteristics can be quite different compared to what is found for isothermal or constant heat flux boundary conditions. In the present analysis, two kinds of nonuniform boundary conditions along the circumference of the cylinder are considered in a uniform stream of air: step changes and linear profiles. Step changes in temperature can arise on the surface of an external, cylindrical, solar central receiver. As the working fluid(water) flows through the vertical tubes that ring the circumference of Solar One(a solar central receiver in Barstow, California), the solar flux on the receiver heats the water from a liquid to a superheated state. In this process, portions of the receiver panels, and thus portions of the circumference of the cylinder, function as a preheater, boiler, or superheater. Hence the surface temperature can vary significantly around the cylinder. Common engineering practice has been to use an average wall temperature with an isothermal cylinder heat transfer coefficient when estimating the convective loss in these kinds of situations.

내부부수로, 벽면부수로, 모서리부수로를 포함하는 가압경수로형 원자로의 핵연료집합체를 모의하는 3$\times$3 봉다발을 모델로 수치해석을 통해 봉다발 주변의 유동특성을 알아보고 각 봉에서의 원주방향 위치에 따른 국소열전달 특성에 관해 고찰하였다. 봉다발에서 열전달계수의 분포는 벽면영향으로 인한 각 부수로에서의 유속분포와 밀접한 관계가 있으며 내부부수로에 인접한 봉에서 가장 높았고, 그 다음이 벽면부수로, 모서리부수로에 인접한 봉에서는 가장 작게 나타났다. 현재 핵연료의 열수력 설계시에 적용하고 있는 부수고 내의 모든 열수력학적 변수가 일정하다고 가정하는 부수로 해석방법은 봉다발내의 실제 열전달 현상과는 상당한 차이가 있음을 보여주었다.

The performance of convective heat transfer in rod bundle flow was experimentally evaluated using a twist-vane spacer grid. A $4{\times}4$ square-arrayed rod bundle was prepared as the test section, with a pitch-to-diameter ratio(P/D) of ~1.35. To check the convective heat transfer performance, the circumferential and longitudinal variations in rod-wall temperatures were measured downstream of the twist-vane spacer grid. In the circumferential measurements, the rod-wall temperature toward the twist-vane tip showed the lowest value, which might be due to the deflected water flow caused by the twist-vane. On the other hand, the wall temperature of the longitudinal measurements near the twist-vane spacer grid decreased dramatically, which implies that the convective heat transfer performance was enhanced. A heat transfer enhancement of ~35 % was achieved near downstream of the twist-vane spacer grid, as compared with the upstream value. Based on the present experimental data, a correlation for predicting the heat transfer performance of a twist-vane spacer grid was proposed.

An experiment is conducted to investigate the effect of the inclination angle on convective boiling heat transfer of a uniformly heated tube. The test section used is a stainless steel tube with10.7mm in inner diameter. The hating length is 3m and is heated directly by an AC current. The test fluid is R-113. Experiment are carried out with mass flow rates of 300, 500 and $700\;kg/m^{2}s$, and heat fluxes varying from 5 to 65 kW/$m^2$. The inclination angles of the tube are $0^{\circ},\;5^{\circ},\;11^{\circ}\;and\;25^{\circ}$. the circumferential temperature variation at low quality region and the location of dryout at high quality region are mainly observed. Circumferential anisothermality occurring at low mass flow rate and low quality conditions is gradually reduced with the increase in the inclination angle and finally disappears at the inclination angle of $25^{\circ}$. Critical quality where dryout is initiated is seriously influenced by the inclination angle. Wall temperature after critical quality is also affected by the inclination angle.

In this study, turbulent flow and heat transfer characteristics in a helically coiled tube have been numerically investigated. Helically coiled tubes are commonly used in heat exchange systems to enhance the heat transfer rate. Accordingly, they have been widely studied experimentally; however, most studies have focused on the pressure drop and heat transfer correlations. The centrifugal force caused by a helical tube increases the wall shear stress and heat transfer rate on the outer side of the helical tube while decreasing those on the inner side of the tube. Therefore, this study quantitatively shows the variation of the local Nusselt number and friction factor along the circumference at the wall of a helical tube by varying the coil diameter and Reynolds number. It is seen that the local heat transfer rate and wall shear stress greatly decrease near the inner side of the tube, which can affect the safety of the tube materials. Moreover, this study verifies the previous experimental correlations for the friction factor and Nusselt number, and it shows that the correlation between the two in a straight tube can be applied to a helical tube. It is expected that the results of this study can be used as important data for the safety evaluation of heat exchangers and steam generators.

To develope chemical heat pump using available energy sources such as solar heat and many kinds of waste thermal energy we have studied the enhancement effect of inserted fins in cylindical packed bed reactor. Two dimensionnal(radial and circumferential) partial differential eqaetions, concerning heat and masstransfer in CaO packed bad, are solved numerically to describe the characteristics of the reaction of fins inserted reactor and heat transfer. The results obtained by numerical analysis about two dimensional profiles of temperature and conversion in the reactant in the packed bed and exothermic heat amount released from the reactor are follows; -. The insertion of fins in reactor can redue the reaction completion time by half. -. The rate of thermochemical reaction depends of the temperature and concentration and it is also governed by the boundary conditions and heat transfer rate in the particle packed bed.

A computer program that simulates electric utility steam condensers was developed, and used to investigate the effects of enhanced tubes in steam condensers. The replacement of smooth tubes with enhanced tubes reduces the steam condensing temperature, and increases the efficiency of the electric utility. Therefore, a significant amount of power may be reserved without any modification of the utility. Three enhanced tubes, corrugated, low fin with internal ribs, and low fin with internal 3-D roughness, were considered. The results showed that there is an optimal internal roughness height. Low fin tubes with a 3-D roughness were superior to the other enhanced geometries. This was attributed to longitudinal vortices generated between the circumferential dimples. An additional 0.5 MW~1.3 MW was possible when smooth tubes were replaced with enhanced tubes in the 600 MW electric utility condenser. The additional power increased with increasing coolant temperature. More investigations on fouling, corrosion, and mechanical properties will be necessary for actual applications of enhanced tubes in electric utility condensers.
