In this paper, we design a helical fin structure for the heat sink for a high-power LED lighting module, and analyze its thermal properties. By means of the helical fin structure, we can obtain about 14% larger surface area for the limited volume and it can decrease the LED chip temperature by about 12%. Because this helical fin heat sink has 15% less total volume than a conventional one, we can also expect to reduce the production cost due to these structural properties.

현재, 육지에서 필요한 천연 가스 (NG)의 얻기 위한 방법으로 공기 가열식 기화기의 사용이 증가하고 있다. 특히, 파이프라인에 의해 도달될 수 없는 거리가 멀리 떨어진 소외된 지역까지 보낼 수 있기 때문에 소형 위성기지의 역할은 대단히 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 소형 위성기지의 LNG는 인수기지에서 탱크로리를 이용하여 배달되고 그 후에 위성기지에서 기화과정을 통하여 각 수요처로 보내어진다. 공기 가열식 기화기는 LNG 인수기지 외의 소형 위성기지 단위에서 최근 많이 개발되고 사용되고 있는 기화기의 종류 중 하나라고 할 수 있다1). 효율적인 공기 가열식 기화기를 개발하기 위하여, 핀이 없는 경우와 핀이 8개이고 핀의 길이가 55 mm인 공기 가열식 기화기를 사용하여 실험을 진행하였고 그리고 나서 두 가지 유형의 기화기를 비교하였다. 실험조건은 기화기의 길이 변화와 여러 가지 주위 조건(온도, 습도, 풍속)을 변화하였다. 실험에 적용된 주위 온도는 각 계절별 온도와 동일한 온도를 적용하였다. 본 실험에서 나타내고자 한 공기가열식 기화기의 주요 특성은 각 계절별 조건에 따른 입구 측과 출구 측의 온도차를 비교하는 것이다. 액화천연가스(LNG)를 가지고 실험을 하는 것은 위험성이 있어 특성이 비슷하면서 안전한 $LN_2$를 사용하여 실험을 진행하여 핀을 가지는 기화기가 핀이 없는 기화기보다는 좋다는 결과를 확인할 수 있었다.

Heat transfer characteristics of low temperature latent heat storage systems have been examined for the circular finned and unfinned tubes using Na$_2$B$_4$O$\_$7/10H$_2$O as a phase change material. In order to reduce the supercooling of PCM, 3 wt% of Na$_2$B$_4$O$\_$7/10H$_2$O was added as the nucleating agent and 2.2 wt% of acrylic acid sodium sulfate was used as the thickener. The heat storage vessel has dimension of 530 mm height, 74 mm 1.D. and inner heat transfer tube is 480 mm height and 13.5 mm O.D. Water was employed as the heat transfer fluid. During the heat recovery experiment, the heat recovery rate was affected by the flow rates and inlet temperature of heat transfer fluid. The enhancement of heat transfer by fins over the unfinned tube system was found to be negligible in the thin finned tube systems, whereas the heat transfer coefficient in the thick finned tube system is approximately 60% higher than that in the unfinned lobe system. The experimentally determined heat transfer coefficient for the unfinned tube and thick finned tube systems are 150-260 W/㎡$^{\circ}C$ and 230-530 W/㎡$^{\circ}C$, respectively. The fin efficiency based on the heat transfer coefficient and area increased by fins was found to be 0.05 and 0.26 for the thin and the thick finned tube systems.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the applicability of Horizontal Flow Fins Inclined Plate (HFIP) for the removal of high-turbidity raw water in water treatment plant. As an experimental result, treated water quality and removal efficiency were 0.34 NTU and 90.45% by the application of HFIP for low-turbidity raw water and for the high-turbidity influent resulted 0.75 NTU and 97.27% in removal efficiency. In view of stability for discharge water NTU, the standard deviation were found as 0.12 NTU for low-turbidity and 0.75 NTU for high-turbidity raw water indicating low fluctuations. Result of flow analysis using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamic) that the addition of HFIP improves the turbidity treatment followed by the stabilization of flow velocity distribution and increases in settling velocity.

Development of simple and efficient method for large-scale production of mechanically strong and electrically conductive graphene fiber is highly desirable for practical applications, such as fiber-reinforced composites, wearable electronics, and electromagnetic irradiation shielding. Here, we present a facile approach for the preparation of amine-functionalized graphene fibers by simple wet-spinning of diamine-functionalized graphene oxide (GO-$NH_2$), which is used because of its synthetic convenience, good dispersity, and scalable production with low cost. The amine-functionalized graphene fiber shows high electrical and mechanical properties compared to pristine graphene oxide fiber due to the electrostatic interaction between amine groups and electronegative functional groups of graphene oxide.

A numerical study was carried out to evaluate the aerodynamic characteristics of the supersonic grid fins installed on SpaceX Falcon 9. The unit-grid-fin concept was utilized for more efficient and simpler 3-D steady flow calculations. Pre- and post-correction processes that accounted the interference effects by the angle of attack of the missile, the influences of the outer frame of the grid fin and the connecting rods were improved in the study, and it was demonstrated that the present correction method was more accurate as compared to previous studies. Finally, the present approach was applied to evaluate the aerodynamic characteristics in transonic/supersonic flights of SpaceX Falcon 9 with various angle of attacks.

본 연구에서는 공조용 실외기의 고효율화 및 소형화를 위해 응축기로 사용되고 있는 핀-관 열교환기를 동일한 전면면적의 PF 열교환기로 변경하여 성능변화 및 특성을 조사하였다. 이를 위해 3종의 PF 열교환기를 적용하여 공조기의 성능을 비교평가 하였다. 실험은 공기 엔탈피식 칼로리미터에서 공조기의 냉방능력과 소비전력을 측정하여 COP를 계산하였다. PF 열교환기를 적용한 경우에 핀-관 열교환기보다 냉방능력은 증가하고 소비전력은 감소하여 COP가 향상되었다. PF 열교환기의 핀 피치가 클수록 냉방능력과 COP는 감소하였다.

A geometrically asymmetric trapezoidal fin with variable fin base thickness and height is optimized based on the fixed fin base height using a one-dimensional analytic method. The temperature profile along the normalized X position in the fin is presented. For the fixed fin base height, the optimum heat loss, fin length and efficiency as a function of inside fluid convection characteristic number, fin base thickness and height, fin shape factor, convection characteristic numbers ratio and ambient convection characteristic number are represented. One of the results shows that the effect of fin base height and ambient convection characteristic number on the optimum values is remarkable.

Fin conduction not only enhances heat transfer to the ambient air but also increases tube-to-tube conduction. The latter is known to deteriorate the heat exchanger performance. Heat conduction between neighboring tubes thorough the fin is numerically investigated for accurate performance analysis of plate finned-tube heat exchangers. Governing equations for arbitrary plate fin are solved and the temperature distribution is obtained using the principle of superposition. Analysis is made using finite element method by changing the shapes of fin, the arrangements of tubes and the fin parameter mD. It is found that tube-to-tube conduction is significant when mD is small or the distance between neighboring tubes is small.

In this paper we characterized and designed the waveguide antipodal finline transition at 57-65GHz frequency band in V-band for 5G mobile communication systems. Especially, we proposed the design method of spline taper for finline tapers by means of increasing curvature from linear taper. We could perform optimization more effectively by excluding improper regions for optimal performance from optimization using the method. Return losses and insertion losses of antipodal finline transitions were mainly affected by the taper shape of the finline. The resonances in the structure of the finline transition were the strongest enemies who deteriorate the performance of the transition. And we alleviated the resonances using semicircle shaped patch. The designed antipodal finline transition showed good performance as it showed less than -24.2dB of return loss and -0.24dB of insertion loss in the band(57-65GHz) which we suppose to use.
