The steam generator tubes of nuclear power plants have various types of corrosion failures during the plant operation. The stress corrosion cracking which occurs on the outer surface of tube is called the secondary side stress corrosion cracking and mainly occurs in the expansion-transition area of tube. The causes are the concentration of impurities by the sludge pile-up related to the geometry of its region and the residual stress by tube expansion in the process of steam generator manufacturing. Especially the directionality and sizes of residual stresses are differed according to the tube expansion methods and the direction and the frequency of tube cracks depend on their characteristics. In bases on the plant experiences, it is notified that circumferential cracks of tubes expanded with explosive expansion method are dominantly occurred compared to those of tubes done with hydraulic expansion one. Therefore in this study, according to tube expansion methods frequencies and sizes of tube cracks with specific direction are compared by means of accelerated immersion test and also the crack morphology and the specific chemicals from water-chemistry environment are observed through the fracture surface examination.

This study reports the formation characteristics of tar, ash and clinker due to a wood pellet grade and the performance analysis of wood pellet boiler in terms of the moisture contents change of the wood pellet. Tar was accumulated on the heating surface according to combustion of wood pellet, the ash was yielded on the floor of combustion chamber in a wood pellet boiler and the clinker was solidified at the burner due to combustion of the 3rd grade wood pellet. Especially, the moisture contents is important factor to define the grade. Wood of logging residues has a non-uniform moisture contents after the field process, yields of tar, ash and clinker are increased in case of combustion due to the high ash contents. For these reasons, emission of harmful compounds in the exhaust gas, decrease of boiler efficiency and the system operating errors are observed. In the performance analysis of wood pellet boiler in terms of the moisture contents change of the 1st grade wood pellet, the boiler efficiency was reduced by 27.08% with 6.6% moisture contents increase. The optimum moisture contents of wood pellet is needed to improve the boiler performance and efficiency.

A series of experiments was performed in this study to investigate the boiling heat flux between an impinging water jet and a hot surface. Test variables were surface roughness, jet velocity, saturation temperature excess of surface, nozzle diameter and the gap distance between nozzle plate and the hot surface. In order to make the impinged cooling water a forced flow streaming a long the hot surface immediately after the initial impingement, the flat nozzle tip was extended to a circular flat plate having the same diameter as the hot surface. Utilizing the dimensionless parameter study on continuity, momentum and energy equations, 5 groups of variables involved in the nucleate boiling heat transfer were derived so that it is possible to estimate the increased heat flux by impinging water jet in a similar experimental work. For the case of saturated water being impinging onto a high temperature surface, an applicable correlation among dimensionless parameters describing the heat flux was found to be as follow.

히트파이프에 관한 연구는 구미, 일본 등 선진 각국뿐만 아니라, 중국, 독립국가연합 및 동구권 에서도 다년간 활발하게 진행되어 왔다. 석유파동 이후 에너지 절약을 위한 노력의 결과로 폐 열회수 장치가 많이 개발되면서 히트파이프를 전열소자로 사용한 폐열회수 장치가 상당히 늘어나 이에 소요되는 히트파이프의 생산량도 급격한 신장세를 나타내고 있다. 이는 히트파이프 자체가 응답성이 좋고, 구조가 간단하며, 전열성이 뛰어난 장점으로 인하여 많은 연구가 이루어졌기 때 문이라 하겠다.그 응용분야는 인공위성으로부터 폐열회수용 열교환기, 전기장치 전자소자의 냉각, 음향기기의 냉각, 태양열과 지열의 유효이용, 플라스틱 금형의 냉각, 공작기계의 주축냉각, 포장 기계, 주방기기, 전력케이블의 냉각, 엔진 및 브레이크의 냉각 등 응용분야가 광범위하여 급격 하게 발전하고 있다. 그러나 국내에서는 히트파이프와 관련된 학술적인 연구결과가 발표되고 있을 뿐, 체계적이며 지속적인 연구가 수행되지 못하고 있다. 또한 산업계에서도 관련제품의 대 부분을 수입에 의존하고 있으며, 일부 제작업체에서는 제품이 나오고 있으나 축적기술결여로 그 성능면에 있어서 보증이 어려워 업계의 연구개발에 대한 노력이 절실히 요구되고 있다.

Pool Boiling heat transfer from controlled arrays of artificial nucleation sites was studied experimentally. Distilled water were boiled from artificial sites of uniform size, shape and spacing, drilled in superfinished copper horizontal surfaces at site density of 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100 per $2.25cm^2$. The results confirm the boiling heat transfer from artificial sites can be improved by increasing the site density N/A or temperature difference ${\Delta}T$ or both. Following experimental correlation were developed for predicting the heat transfer rate from the heating surface which has artificial sites. $$q/A = C(T_s - T_{sat})^{1.811}(N/A)^{0.41}$$

A study has been conducted to investigate the effect of the heat transfer surface position in the range of dropwise condensation, filmwise condensation, and glacial condensation. For dropwise condensation promoter, the heat transfer surface was evaporated by gold. As a result, heat transfer rate is almost same where the position of heat transfer surface is between 45 and 135 degree. It is found that heat transfer rate was reduced as subcooled degree was increased. And it is also found that if the subcooled degree becomes lower, the position of heat transfer surface is more effective. Adversely, if the subcooled degree becomes higher, the effectiveness of surface position is getting relatively lower. Regardless of the position, the transition temperatures from dropwise condensation to filmwise condensation is in the vicinity of 80K.

The boiler structure is determined by combustion characteristics and construction costs in the combustion chamber of a large commercial boiler. The heat transfer in boiler is composed of the radiation and the convection. The convective heat transfer has happened to back-pass heating surface. The combustion gas sequentially passes through the reheater tube, 1st economizer tube, and 2nd economizer tube. In case of being lowered in boiler height, we have to install additional tube bundle in back-pass heating surface for increasing the heat transfer of boiler, which causes the noise and vibration from combustion gas. When the combustion gas passes through the back-pass tube bundle in specified load of commercial boiler, this paper analyzes the acoustic characteristics between vortex-shedding frequency and natural frequency in tube bundle cavity. The case study reduce the resonance by changing natural frequency characteristics of tube-bundle cavity using a way to install ant-noise baffle in the direction of combustion gas flow.

The purpose of this study is augmentation of heat transfer without additional power in a rectangular impinging air jet. As a method of passive heat transfer augmentation in a two-dimensional air jet, heat transfer surface of flat plate with rods is used. This study, particularly in the wall jet rigeon, investigates the effect of the clearance between the flat plate and rod. Mechanism of heat transfer enhancement is investigated by measuring the local heat transfer coefficient. It is concluded that the superposition of the effects of flow accelerlation through the clearance between the flat plate and the rod, and reattachment of the flow was the cause of the excellent performance. The overall heat transfer rate of flat plate with rods is about 1.5 times larger than that of flat plate without rods.
