In this study, a smooth flat surface, low fin, Turbo-B, and Thermoexcel-E surfaces are used to examine the effect of the flow velocity on the pool boiling heat transfer coefficients (HTCs) and critical heat fluxes (CHFs). HTCs and CHFs are measured on a smooth square heater of $9.53{\times}9.53mm^2$ at $60^{\circ}C$ in a pool of pure water at various fluid velocities of 0, 0.1, 0.15, and 0.2 m/s. Test results show that for all surfaces, CHFs obtained with flow are higher than those obtained without flow. CHFs of the low fin surface are higher than those of the Turbo-B and Thermoexcel-E surfaces due largely to the increase in surface area and sufficient fin spaces for the easy removal of bubbles. CHFs of the low fin surface show even 5 times higher CHFs as compared to the plain surface. On the other hand, both Turbo-B and Thermoexcel-E surfaces do not show satisfactory results because their pore sizes are too small and water bubbles easily cover them. At low heat fluxes of less than $50kW/m^2$, HTCs increase as the flow velocity increases for all surfaces. In conclusion, a low fin geometry is good for application to steam generators in nuclear power plants.

화석에너지에 대한 경제적 부담과 환경오염문제를 줄이기 위하여 열펌프의 성능계수향상을 위하여 냉온 공기열교환기(HEEVA)를 고안하였고, 이 열교환기의 열특성과 성능계수향상에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 냉.난방 실험을 수행하였다. HEEVA에 의한 찬 공기와 더운 공기의 온도변화, 전열량 및 냉온 공기열교환기 효율, 총열전달계수등을 측정분석하였고, 냉난방시 외기온에 따른 열펌프의 성능계수, 소비전력, 응축기.증발기 출구 공기토출 온도 변화를 측정 분석함으로서 다음과 같은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 1. 외기온이 -4~11$^{\circ}C$로 변할 때 열펌프의 난방과정에서 HEEVA 찬공기 입출구 온도차는 4.5$^{\circ}C$에서 9.$0^{\circ}C$로 증가하였으며, HEEVA에 의한 영향으로 2~6$^{\circ}C$상승된 공기가 증발기 입구로 유입되어 냉매증발을 촉진하였다. 2. 실온이 4~22$^{\circ}C$일 때 HEEVA 더운공기 입출구 온도차는 3$^{\circ}C$에서 7$^{\circ}C$로 증가하였으며, 응축기에 유입되는 공기온도를 3~8$^{\circ}C$낮게 함으로서 압축기 소모전력을 감소시켜 COP 상승 효과를 나타냈다. 3. 외기온과 실온변화에 따라 풍량 346m$^3$/hr의 찬 공기가 받은 열량과 풍량 747m$^3$/hr의 더운 공기가 준 열량간의 차는 50~150kcal/hr로 나타났으며, 더운 공기가 준열량과 찬 공기가 받은 열량의 비가 83~98% 이었으므로 HEEVA의 열 교환율은 91% 을 보였다. 4. 총합열전달계수는 이론값이 실험 값보다 1~3W/m$^2$K 크게 나타났으며, 이 결과는 두 값 사이에 10% 내.외의 편차로서 Nusselt수를 구하기 위한 Petukhov상관식의 자체오차 15%에 비해 크지 않은 오차범주에 속하며, 이론상의 총합열전달계수 유도식의 타당성을 입증한 것이라 하겠다. 5. HEEVA를 작동함으로서 난방시 COP가 HEEVA를 작동하지 않았을 경우보다 0.3~0.5 향상된 것으로 나타났다. 이것은 HEEVA가 겨울철 난방에 효율을 높일수 있는 것으로 판단된다.

Nucleate pool boiling heat transfer coefficients (HTCs) are measured with HFC32/HFC152a mixture at several compositions. All data are taken at the liquid pool temperature of $7^{\circ}C$, on a horizontal plain square surface of $9.53{\times}9.53$ mm, with heat fluxes of 10 $kW/m^2$ to 100 $kW/m^2$ with an interval of 10 $kW/m^2$, in the increasing order of heat flux. Test results show that the HTCs of these mixtures are up to 45% lower than those of the ideal HTCs calculated by a linear mixing rule with pure fluids' HTCs, due to the mass transfer resistance associated with non-azeotropic refrigerant mixtures. Pool boiling data show the deduction in HTCs with an increase in GTD of the mixture. The present mixture data agree well with five well known correlations, within 20% deviation.

The experimental apparatus has been set-up as a conventional vapor compression type heat pump system. The test section is a horizontal double pipe heat exchanger. A tube diameter of 12.70 mm, 9.52 mm, 6.35 mm with 1.78 mm,1.52 mm,1.4 mm wall thickness each is used for this investigation. The local evaporating heat transfer coefficients of hydrocarbon refrigerants were superior to that of R-22. and the maximum increasing rate of heat transfer coefficient was found in R-1270. The average evaporating heat transfer coefficient increased with the increase of the mass velocity and it showed the higher values in hydrocarbon refrigerants than R-22. The highest evaporating heat transfer coefficient of all refrigerants was shown in a tube diameter of 6.35 mm with same mass flux.

The evaporation heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop of $CO_2$(R-744) in a horizontal tube was investigated experimentally. The main components of the experimental apparatus are a receiver, a variable-speed pump, a mass flow meter, a pre-heater and an evaporator(test section). The test section consists of a horizontal stainless steel tube of 4.57 mm inner diameter. The experiments were conducted at mass flux of $200{\sim}1000\;kg/m^2s$ saturation temperature of $0{\sim}20^{\circ}C$, and heat flux of $10{\sim}40\;kW/m^2$. The test results showed that the heat transfer coefficient of $CO_2$ has a greater effect on nucleate boiling more than convective boiling. Mass flux of $CO_2$ does not affect nucleate boiling too much. In comparison with test data and existing correlations, All of the existing correlations for the heat transfer coefficient underestimated the experimental data. However lung et al.'s correlation showed a good agreement with the experimental data. The evaporation pressure drop of $CO_2$ increases with increasing mass flux and decreasing saturation temperature. When comparison between the experimental pressure drop and existing correlations. Existing correlations failed to predict the evaporation pressure drop of $CO_2$.

A significant amount of studies were performed on evaporation heat transfer and pressure drop in microfin tubes. Most studies, however, focused on the refrigerants used in air-conditioners or heat pumps, and very limited information is available on R-404A, which is used in low temperature refrigeration. In this study, the evaporation heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of R-404A in a 9.5 mm O.D. microfin tube were investigated for the mass flux range from $80kg/m^2s$ and $200kg/m^2s$. A smooth tube of the same outer dimeter was also tested for comparison. The results showed that the heat transfer enhancement ratio of the microfin tube increased with increasing mass flux and the heat flux decreased. The relative contribution of the convective heat transfer and the heat flux on total heat transfer was attributed to the observed trend. The pressure drops of the microfin tube were slightly (maximum 28%) larger than those of the smooth tube. Existing correlations do not adequately predict the measured heat transfer coefficients of pressure drops, probably due to the test range of the present study, which is outside of the existing correlations.

회전 히트파이프의 열 전달 특성은 내부 관벽에 형성되는 응축 액막 두께와 증발부로 귀한되는 응축액의 유동율에 의해 결정된다. 본 연구는 축 방향으로 그루브(groove)를 갖는 회전 히트파이프의 열 전달 성능에 대한 실험 연구로써, 그루브에 의한 효과를 파악하기 위해 2종류의 히트파이프를 제작하고 작동성은 시험을 수행하였다. 회전 히트파이프가 작동시, 원심력에 의해 그루브로 응축액의 유동을 촉진시키며, 따라서 응축부 벽면에 형성되는 액막 두께가 얇게 된다. 응축부에 그루브를 갖는 히트파이프의 열전달 계수는 풀 유동에서 2000~4000W/$m^2$$^{0}$ C, 환상 유동 영역에서 1500~2500W/$m^2$$^{0}$ C로써, 전체 원형단면을 갖는 히트파이프와 비교하여 약 1.5배 정도의 열저달 향상을 볼 수 있었으며, 열전달 한계는 약 40% 정도 향상되는 것으로 나타났다.

The forced convective boiling heat transfer coefficients of R-407C were measured inside a horizontal tube 6.0mm I.D. and 4.0m long. The heat transfer coefficients increased according to an increase in heat flux at constant mass flux. Because nucleation was completely suppressed in the two-phase flow region with high quality, heat transfer coefficients in forced convective evaporation were higher than those in nucleate boiling region. Average heat transfer coefficients of R-407C were about 30 percent lower than the pure refrigerant correlation, due to mass transfer resistance at the gas-liquid interface. However, the total experimental data shows an agreement with the predicted data for ternary refrigerant mixtures with a mean deviation of 30%.

An experimental study on the air-side pressure drop and heat transfer coefficient of slit fin-tube heat exchanger has been carried out. The data reduction methodology for air-side heat transfer coefficients in the literature is not based on a consistent approach. This paper focuses on new method of data reduction to obtain the air-side performance of fin-tube heat exchanger using R22 and recommends standard procedures for dry and wet surface heat transfer estimation in fin-tube heat exchanger having refrigerant on the tube-side. Results are presented as plots of friction f-factor and Colburn j -factor against Reynolds number based on the fin collar outside diameter and compared with previous studies. The data covers a range of refrigerant mass fluxes of 150∼250 kg/$m^2$s with air flows at velocity ranges from 0.3 m/s to 0.8 m/s.
