CRUD (chalk river unidentified deposits) is a porous material deposited on the surface of nuclear fuel during nuclear power plant operation. The CRUD is composed of metal oxides, such as iron, nickel, and chromium. It is essential to investigate the effects of the CRUD layer on the wall heat transfer between the nuclear fuel surface and the coolant in the event of a nuclear accident. CRUD only negatively affects the temperature of the nuclear fuel due to heat resistance because the effects of the CRUD layer on two-phase boiling heat transfer are not considered. In this study, the physical property models for the porous CRUD layer were developed and implemented into the SPACE code. The effects of boiling heat transfer models on the peak cladding temperature and quenching were investigated by simulating a reflood experiment. The calculation results showed some positive effects of the CRUD layer.

An experimental investigation has been conducted to clarify roughness effects of geothermal water scale deposited onto a heating surface upon its forced convection heat transfer characteristics. Examined was a circular cylinder, on which particles of silica scale having five different sizes are uniformly distributed. The Reynolds number was varied from 13000 through 50000. Local and mean heat transfer characteristics were measured as functions of particle size and Reynolds number. Subsequently the mean fouling resistance was estimated from those results, and its characteristics are clarified. It was found that the heat transfer of cylinders greatly varies with the fouling of geothermal water scale, especially its scale height. Further, the local and average Nusselt numbers strongly depend upon the cylinder spacing and the Reynolds number.

Heat pump systems based on ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) systems use the temperature difference between deep ocean water and surface ocean water to operate. However, they may have heat transfer degradation due to corrosion on the heat exchanger surface due to the salinity of sea water. This study presents experimental results for the heat transfer decrease of corroded metal tubes with respect to corrosion time. In order to replace high-priced titanium, electro-deposition (ED) coating was performed on aluminum tubes. Aluminum tubes with ED coating thicknesses of 10, 15, and $20{\mu}m$ were tested for double-tube heat exchangers after performing accelerated corrosion for 6, 12, and 18 weeks. The effects of the coating thickness and the corrosion time on the heat transfer degradation were investigated. From the results, the aluminum tube with an ED coating of $20{\mu}m$ thickness can be suggested as a candidate for replacing titanium tubes.

본 논문에서는 다중벽 탄소 나노튜브를 작동유체로 사용하는 전자장치 냉각용 소형 히트파이프의 열적성능을 실험적으로 확인 하였다. 실험의 결과들을 바탕으로 다중벽 탄소 나노튜브 나노유체를 작동유체로 사용하는 히트파이프의 열저항은 동일한 충진량을 가지는 물을 작동유체로 사용한 히트파이프와 비교하여 나노유체의 부피비가 0.5%일때, 최대 18.6% 감소한다. 다중벽 탄소 나노튜브 나노유체의 열저항은 동일한 입열량에서 나노유체의 부피비가 증가 할수록 감소하는 것을 알 수 있다. 이를 통하여 다중벽 탄소 나노튜브 나노유체 히트파이프의 열저항은 나노유체의 부피비에 변화에 따라서 변한다는 것을 확인 할 수 있으며, 추가적으로 증발부에서 유체의 기화로 인한 나노입자의 증착에 의하여 열전달 표면적의 증가 또한 열저항의 감소 원인으로 예측가능 하다.

In this research, thermal design data such as heat transfer coefficient on the wall surface required for ventilation system design which is to prevent the temperature rise in the underground utility tunnel that three sides are adjoined with the ground was investigated in numerical analalysis. The numerical model has been devised including the tunnel lining of the underground utility tunnel in order to take account for the heat transfer in the tunnel walls. The air temperature in the tunnel, wall temperature, and the heating value through the wall based on heating value(117~468 kW/km) of the power cable installed in the tunnel and the wind speed in the tunnel(0.5~4.0 m/s) were calculated by CFD simulation. In addition, the wall heat transfer coefficient was computed from the results analysis, and the limit distance used to keep the air temperature in the tunnel stable was examined through the research. The convective heat transfer coefficient at the wall surface shows unstable pattern at the inlet area. However, it converges to a constant value beyond approximately 100 meter. The tunnel wall heat transfer coefficient is $3.1{\sim}9.16W/m^2^{\circ}C$ depending on the wind speed, and following is the dimensionless number:$Nu=1.081Re^{0.4927}({\mu}/{\mu}_w)^{0.14}$. This study has suggested the prediction model of temperature in the tunnel based on the thermal resistance analysis technique, and it is appraised that deviation can be used in the range of 3% estimation.

Non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulation on the thermal boundary resistance(TBR) of an aluminum(Al)/silicon(Si) interface was performed in the present study. The constant heat flux across the Si/Al interface was simulated by adding the kinetic energy in hot Si region and removing the same amount of the energy from the cold Al region. The TBR estimated from the sharp temperature drop at the interface was independent of heat flux and equal to $5.13{\pm}0.17K{\cdot}m^2/GW$ at 300K. The simulation result was experimentally confirmed by the time-domain thermoreflectance technique. A 90nm thick Al film was deposited on a Si(100) wafer using an e-beam evaporator and the TBR on the film/substrate interface was measured using the time-domain thermoreflectance technique based on a femtosecond laser system. A numerical solution of the transient heat conduction equation was obtained using the finite difference method to estimate the TBR value. Experimental results were compared to the prediction and discussions on the nanoscale thermal transport phenomena were made.

It is essential to predict the coil temperature under over load and over speed conditions for reliability in high speed low torque surface mounted PM synchronous motors(SPM). In the present study, the losses and coil temperature are measured under rated condition and calculated under over speed and over load conditions in the three different motors with 35PN440, 25PN250 and 15HTH1000. The heat transfer modeling has been performed based on acquired losses and temperature. The difference of coil temperature between heat transfer modeling and experiment is less than 6.4% under no load, over speed and over load conditions. Subsequently, the coil temperature of the motor with 15HTH1000 is 84.4% of the coil temperature of the motor with 35PN440 when speed is 0.9 and load is 3.0. The output of motor with 15HTH1000 is 85.2% greater than the output of the motor with 35PN440 when the dimensionless coil temperature is 1.0.

After hot rolling, a high-temperature steel plate with a temperature higher than $800^{\circ}C$ is rapidly cooled by multiple circular water jets. In this cooling process, because the temperature of the steel plate is much higher than the boiling point of the cooling water, film-boiling heat transfer occurs and a very thin steam layer forms between the plate surface and the cooling water. The steam layer acts as a thermal resistance that prevents heat transfer between the cooling water and the steel plate. In addition to the film-boiling heat transfer, complex physical phenomena such as the free-surface flow of residual water that accumulated on the material and the material's high-speed motion also occur in the cooling process. In this study, the simultaneous cooling process of the upper and lower sides of a running hot steel strip is investigated using a three-dimensional numerical model and the cooling performances and characteristics of the upper-side cooling and lower-side cooling are compared.

In general, the oxi-nitriding method is well known as such a surface treatment way for substantial enhancement in corrosion resistance, even comparable to that of titanium. However, there are still lacks of information on thermal performance of the oxi-nitriding surface being of additional compound layers on the base substrate. Above all, the quantitative measurement of its thermal performance still was not evaluated yet. Thus, the present study experimentally measures the thermal resistance of the oxi-nitriding surface during droplet evaporation and then estimates heat transfer performance with the use of the onedimensional heat transfer model in vertical direction. From the experimental results, it is found that the total evaporation time slightly increased with the thermal resistance caused by the oxi-nitriding layer, showing a maximum difference of approximately 20% with that of the bare surface. Although the heat transfer performance of oxi-nitriding surface became slightly lower than that of the bare surface, the oxi-nitriding surface exhibits much better heat transfer performance compared to titanium.
