This paper presents numerical study on flow and heat transfer characteristics in micro-gap plate heat exchanger. In particular, we investigate the effect of flow inertia on the flow distribution from single main channel to multiple parallel micro-gaps. The flow regime of the main channel is varied from laminar regime (Reynolds number of 100) to turbulent regime (Reynolds number of 10000) by changing the flow rate, and non-uniformity of the flow distribution and temperature field is evaluated quantitatively based on the standard deviation. The flow distribution is found to be significantly affected by not only the header design but also the flow rate of the main channel. It is also observed that the non-uniformity of the temperature field has its maximum at the intermediate flow regime.

Delft Dashboard는 유동모델을 위한 오픈소스 프로그램으로 로컬 및 글로벌 데이터 세트를 사용하여 다수의 입력 매개변수를 신속하게 생성, 편집하고 모델 내 입력을 시각화하도록 설계된 그래픽 사용자 인터페이스(GUI) 이다. 특히 Delft Dashboard에 제공하는 개방경계조건을 이용하면 격자영역을 인식하여 개방경계를 자동으로 분배 및 지정하고, 각 개방경계 위치에서 분조별 조석조화상수 값도 산출되므로 유동 모델의 편의성을 증대시킬 수 있지만 상황에 따라 적합하게 경계를 분배하여 개방경계로 지정하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 Delft Dashboard에서 제공하는 개방경계조건 중 TPXO 8.0을 이용한 Delft-3D 해수유동 수치모의를 수행하여 개방경계조건이 결과에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. TPXO 8.0의 경우 격자영역에서 개방경계조건을 설정할 때 사용자가 경계조건에 포함될 격자 수를 지정하면 전체 격자경계에서 격자 수에 해당하는 만큼 경계를 나누어 개방경계를 지정하고 각 개방경계 위치에서의 분조별 조석조화상수값을 산출한다. 특히 격자 수에 따라 개방경계로 지정되는 정도에 따른 영향을 분석하기 위하여 인위적으로 경계를 다양하게 분배하여 개방경계를 지정한 후 수치모의에 적용하였다. 수치모의는 동해안 고리원전 인근을 대상으로 격자 생성 후 Delft Dashboard TPXO 8.0을 이용하여 전술된대로 다양한 개방경계조건을 생성하였고 이를 Delft-3D내 적용하여 해수유동 모의를 수행하였다. 각 개방경계 조건별 초기 수면 변위 분석 및 인근 조위관측소의 관측값의 비교를 통해 개방경계조건이 모의결과에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다.

Intake-air flow and distribution characteristics of the 1600cc gasoline engine intake manifold have been studied using the computer simulation. Simulation has been conducted using both one-dimensional performance simulation and three-dimensional CFD software. Steady state flow simulation result of the intake manifold shows good distribution characteristics that the standard deviation of flow coefficients is below 1.0 percentage for both one- and three-dimensional simulation. Even though one-dimensional simulation result slightly overestimates compared with three-dimensional simulation result, both results show very good agreement in flow coefficient trend. Also, unsteady state simulation result shows consistent distribution characteristics with that of steady state. It is shown that unsteady state distribution characteristics might be able to be predicted through the steady state mass distribution result.

The present study has been experimentally investigated the effect of geometric and operating parameters on the two-phase flow distribution of refrigerants in a horizontal T-junction. The operating parameters were the kind of refrigerants (R-22, R- l34a, and R-410A), saturated temperature, and the inlet mass flux and quality. The geometric parameters were the tube diameter and the tube diameter ratio. The measured data of refrigerants were compared with the values predicted using the models developed by several researchers for air/water or steani/water two-phase flow. Among the operating parameters, the inlet Quality was the most sensitive to the mass flow rate ratio. Between the geometric parameters, the tube diameter ratio was more sensitive than tube diameter.

The inlet/outlet flow in the tube-side of the shell and tube heat exchanger was experimentally measured to investigate the effect of the porous baffle on uniform flow distribution. A 1/3rd scale-downed model of a heat exchanger was used and particle image velocimetry was applied for measuring the instantaneous velocity vector fields. The absolute errors in the flow rate were calculated and compared for the tube-side with and without the porous baffle, by varying the flow rate from 60 to 90 LPM. The results revealed that the porous baffle can improve flow uniformity and reduce the absolute error in the flow rate of the model with the baffle by about 74%, compared to that without the baffle. This result can be used for improving the performance and design of the shell and tube heat exchanger.

본 논문에서는 시작엔진 제작에 앞서 CFD기법을 이용하여 디젤 엔진의 블록과 헤드에서의 냉각수 유동 특성을 분석하고자 하였다. 유동 해석 결과 1번 실린더를 거쳐 4번 실린더까지 유동이 원활하게 흐르는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이는 전체적인 냉각수 분배에 영향을 미쳐 엔진 설계 시 발생할 수 있는 3, 4번 실린더의 과열을 방지 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 열전달 계수가 전체적으로 균일하게 분포되어 냉각수의 열전달 특성이 양호할 것으로 판단된다.

Plate-fin heat exchanger is a kind of compact heat exchangers with a good performance in heat transfer. It is widely used in various engineering fields such as aerospace, chemical and biomedical industries. Quantitative and qualitative flow visualization study were performed using the water model of commercial plate-fin heat exchanger with header angles of $30^{\circ}$. The Reynolds number was 100. Conventional digital particle image velocimetry was used to measure the instantaneous velocity fields of the header region and the flow visualization using dye injection and hydrogen bubble method were applied to capture the qualitative flow characteristics. The results showed the existence of separation flow region at the junction area and the bottom wall of the exit region.

Three-dimensional turbulent flows of a distribution manifold are studied by a turbulence model. To investigate the geometrical effects of the manifold, the length and area of exit port are changed. From the results, flow structures related to the outflow uniformity are examined and the deparure angles are obtained. The exit configuration depending on the departure angle has advantages to the outflow uniformity. That is, the decreased exit area in the streamwise direction improves the uniformity of exit flow. For the uniform effusion, the change of exit port by departure angle is more effective them the change of exit area.
