Prediction method for heat transfer coefficients in a horizontal smooth tube with forced convection condensation is proposed. In this paper, the analogy between momentum and heat transfer was applied to an annular flow regime and the logarithmic velocity distribution is applied to describe the velocity profile within the liquid film. Prediction results are compared with those of experimental ones. The test refrigerants are R113, R22, R134a, R407C(R33/R125/R134a, 23/25/52 wt%), R410A(R32/R125, 50/50 wt%) and R134a＋R123(R134a/R123, 85.5/14.5 wt%) which are used under operating conditions in a condenser of air-conditioner. The proposed prediction method shows good agreement with experimental data within$\pm 30%$ for pure refrigerants. For the mixture refrigerants including the ternary mixture refrigerant R407C, condensation heat transfer from this study are higher than those from experiments. By correcting the constant in two-phase frictional multiplier, the predicated heat transfer coefficients become similar to the experimental results.

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.

Water heat transfer experiments were carried out in a uniformly heated annulus with a wide range of pressure conditions. The local heat transfer coefficients for saturated water flow boiling have been measured just before the occurrence of the critical heat flux (CHF) along the length of the heated section. The trends of the measured heat transfer coefficients were quite different from the conventional understanding for the heat transfer of saturated flow boiling. This discrepancy was explained from the nucleate boiling in the liquid film of annular flow under high heat flux conditions.

Thermofluid flow analysis is major subject in most computational fluid dynamics applications. Accompanying convective and conductive heat transport phenomena, radiation plays an important role in high temperature operating systems. Cares in which the radiation dominates are found in such systems as boilers, furnaces, rocket engines, etc. In this paper the finite-volume method (FVM) are employed to simulate two-dimensional radiation problems in concentric and eccentric horizontal cylindrical annuli with general body-fitted coordinates. In that case the simplest and intuitive remedies are proposed for mitigation of ray effect.

In the present paper a statistical method using probability density function has been applied to investigate experimentally the flow patterns and fluctuations of time-averaged local void fraction in air-water two-phase mixtures which flow vertically upwards in concentric annuli. This study was carried out using three vertical concentric annuli. The annular test section consists of a lucite outer tube whose inside diameter is 38mm and a stainless steel inner rod. The rod diameter is either 12mm, 16mm or 20mm. The two-phase flow patterns observed in the experiment were bubbly, slug, annular and each transition patterns. It was first demonstrated that the variance, coefficients of skewness and kurtosis calculated from probability density function on time-averaged local void fraction can be used to identify the flow patterns in the annular passage, and the fluctuation of time-averaged local void fraction varies with the radial position in annular gap and the flow pattern.

Characteristics of flow patterns in horizontal gas-liquid two-phase flow for two different sizes of pipe were investigated based upon a statistical analysis of differential pressure fluctuations at an orifice. The probability density function and the power spectral density function of the traces indicate peculiar shapes depending upon the two-phase flow regime. Mixed and separated flows also could be identified by the autocorrelation function. The transition region from separated flow to mixed flow also could be identified by these statistical properties. The experimental data determined by this method were compared with the flow pattern maps suggested by other investigators. The result indicates that the statistical characteristics of differential pressure fluctuations at orifices may be a useful tool for identifying flow patterns of horizontal gas-liquid two-phase flow.

The jet structure issuing from a conventional convergent nozzle of variable expansion rate is compared with the result from the nozzle of a constant expansion rate using a normal type annular slit. In experiments, to investigate the jet characteristics between the two cases of jet, the mean velocity of nozzle exit is fixed to be 90m/s, the pressures along the jet axis and radial directions are measured by a scanning valve system moving with 3-axis auto-traverse unit, and the velocity distribution obtained by calculation from the measured static and total pressures is compared. Also to obtain the highly stable and convergence jets, it is turned out that the flow through a nozzle of constant expansion rate using the Coanda effect with an annular slit is the most preferable than that case through variable expansion rate nozzle. Furthermore, it is found that the pressure drop along the nozzle for the constant expansion rate nozzle is small relatively against to the case of variable expansion rate nozzle.

An analysis of convective boiling heat transfer for refrigerant mixtures is performed for an annular flow to investigate the degradation of the heat transfer rate. Annular flow is selected in this study because a great portion of the evaporator in the refrigeration and air conditioning system is known to be in the annular flow regime. Mass transfer effect due to composition difference between liquid and vapor is included in this analysis, which is considered to be one of driving forces for the mass transfer at the interface. Due to the concentration gradient at the interface the mass transfer is interfered, so is the evaporative heat transfer at the interface. The mass transfer resistance makes the interface temperature slightly higher and, as a result, the heat transfer coefficients decrease compared with those without mass transfer effects. The degradatioin of the heat transfer rate reaches its maximum at a certain composition. The composition difference between vapor core and vapor at the interface has a direct effect on the temperature difference between the vapor core and the interface and the degradation of the heat transfer rate. Correction factor $C_{F}$ for the mixture effects is added to the correlation for pure substances and the flow boiling heat transfer coefficients can be calculated using the modified equation.n.

본 논문은 세관(ID<7 mm) 내 R-22와 R-134a의 증발 열전달과 유동양식에 대한 실험적 연구이다. R-22와 R-134a의 유동양식을 관찰하기 위해 내경 2와 8 mm의 파이렉스 튜브를 사용하였고, 열전달 계수는 내경 1.77, 3.35, 5.35 mm의 수평 평활동관에 대해서 측정하였다. 증발 유동양식에서 내경 2 mm의 환상류 영역이 내경 8 mm에 비해 저건도 영역에서 발생하는 것을 확인할 수 있었고, 내경 2 mm의 유동양식은 Mandhane의 선도와 많은 오차를 보였다. 세관(ID<7 mm) 내 증발 열전달 계수는 종래의 대구경관(ID>7 mm)에 비해 관직경에 대한 영향이 많이 나타나는 것을 알 수 있었다. 내경 1.77 mm의 열전달 계수는 내경 3.36 mm와 5.35 mm에 비해서 20내지 30% 정도 높은 것을 나타났다. 또한 종래의 열전달 상관식(Shah's, Jung's, Kandlikar's and Oh-Katsuda's correlation)과 비교한 결과, 실험 데이터는 상관식과 많은 이탈 정도를 보였다. 따라서 실험데이타를 기초로 세관내 R-22와 R-134a에 적용할 수 있는 증발 열전달 상관식을 새로이 제안하였다.

In order to elucidate the operational characteristics of rotating heat pipes, the internal flow patterns and heat transfer performance are investigated. Flow patterns and its transition are studied with various rotational speeds by visualizing flows established inside a rotating tube. To verify those results of analysis, 2 heat pipes of the same geometries but fill charge rates of 7, 30% were manufactured and submitted to operating tests. Comparison of experimental results on heat transfer rate show a fairly good agreement with the analytical results. The analysis reveals that the optimum charge ratio is ranged in 4~7% depending on the quantity of thermal loads. but the heat pipe with 7% of fill charge ratio reached dry-out limitation at heat flux of $q^{{\prime}{\prime}}=6.2kW/m^2$ lower than that of analytic results. Transition of flow regime was well related to the correlation by Semena & Khmelev on transient centrifugal Froude Number Frc. But hysteresis phenomenon was observed in transition of flow regime, when the rotational speed was stepwisely changed in the way to undergo 1 cycle.
