Single phase heat transfer coefficients were measured for turbulent water flow in a micro-fin tube by using Wilson plot technique. An experiment for counterflow heat exchange between the micro-fin tube and its outer annulus passage was performed. The annulus side heat transfer resistance was varied and the overall heat transfer coefficients were measured. The single-phase heat transfer coefficients in a micro-fin tube were obtained by Wilson plot technique. Nusselt numbers based on the real heat transfer area and the nominal area were about 35% and 50% larger than those for smooth tube respectively Also, single-phase heat transfer correlations based on real heat transfer area and nominal area have been proposed for a micro-fin tube.

This study was discussed about the thermal characteristics of finned tube heat exchanger having two row used in the air-conditioning application. Pressure drop and heat transfer coefficient were measured and investigated for the 3 times models of plain fin. Also the temperature distribution and heat conduction in the fin was measured by using the liquid crystal method. The surface temperature of rear row was nearly constant, and heat conduction in the fin was stronger near the front row than the rear row.

The row-by-row heat transfer characteristics of fin-and-tube heat exchangers having wavy fins were experimentally investigated. Three samples having different rows (one, two and three) were tested. Results show that the heat transfer coefficient is strongly dependent on the tube row. The heat transfer coefficient of the first row is larger than those of second or third rows. However, the difference decreases as the Reynolds number increases. The heat transfer coefficients of the second and the third row are approximately the same, probably due to increased mixing of bulk flow by wavy channels. Although samples have different tube row, the heat transfer coefficients of same row are approximately the same.

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the flow resistance and the heat transfer characteristics of V type circular fin-tube heat exchanger. Four kinds of V type fin having the same fin area and the different span wise angle tested numerically. Test data for the heat transfer, pressure drop and fin temperature were shown and discussed. The pressure drop and heat transfer increased for decreasing the span wise angle up to 58% and 25% respectively.

The present work investigates the heat transfer characteristics for laminar fully developed forced convection in an internally finned tube with axially uniform heat flux and peripherally uniform temperature through analytical models of convection in a porous medium. Using the Brinkman-extended Darcy flow model and the two equation model fur heat transfer, analytical solutions fur fluid flow and heat transfer are obtained and compared with the exact solution for fluid flow and the numerical solutions for conjugate heat transfer to validate the porous medium approach. Using the analytical solutions, parameters of engineering importance are identified and their effects on fluid flow and heat transfer are studied. Also, the expression fur total thermal resistance is derived from the analytical solutions and minimized in order to optimize the thermal performance of the internally finned tubes.

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the flow resistances and heat transfer characteristics of V-shaped circular fin-tube heat exchangers. Four types of V-shaped fins in which the fin areas are identical but the areas of the V-shaped portion are different have been tested numerically. The results obtained for heat transfer, pressure drop, and fin temperature are discussed in this paper. With increase in the area of the V-shaped portion, the pressure drop and heat transfer increase up to 40% and 24%, respectively, in the present test range.

A new method is presented for developing a simulation program which can analyze the heat transfer characteristics of fin-tube heat exchanger. This method is able to describe several types of refrigerant circuit arrangement. The delivery path of air and refrigerant properties is simplified by transforming three-dimensional array into one-dimensional array. By comparing simulated results with experiment results, the deviation was 8.2%. Several fin-tube heat exchangers of different design factors and operating conditions were simulated using this program. It was shown that this program could be used for designing practical fin-tube heat exchangers.

An experimental study has been conducted on the free convection heat transfer for the 7 kinds of circular finned tube heat exchangers. Empirical correlation was suggested at the range of 3,500$D_o$/$D_i$<3.0, 0.19<$P_f$/$D_i$<0.34. The 92% of experimental data agreed with the correlation within 10%.

The present work was conducted to investigate the air-side thermal-hydraulic performance of the brazing fin-tube heat exchanger. Pressure drop and heat transfer coefficient for a plain and a louvered fin configuration were compared numerically and experimentally. It was found that the heat transfer characteristics for the plain fin were similar to the developing flow in the rectangular channel. The louver fin showed about twice better heat transfer coefficient than the plain fin. Previous empirical correlations presented by Davenport, Sunden and Svantesson, Sahnoun and Webb, Chang and Wang, Achaichia and Cowell, and Kang were compared with the present experimental data.

본 논문에서는 풍력발전용 전력변환기 내부 소자의 방열에 사용되는 수냉식 방열판의 관 형상을 제안한다. 최근 대용량 전력변환기는 소형화 및 효율성이 중요시 되고 있으며, 이에 따라 기구의 안정적이고 장기적인 운영을 위한 수냉식 방열설계가 필수적이라 할 수 있다. 수냉식 방열판는 다수의 원형관으로 구성되며, 이 원형관의 형상은 방열판의 열전달 성능에 직접적인 영향을 주게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 열전달 촉진을 위한 방열판의 관 형상들을 모델링하고 열해석 시뮬레이션을 진행하여 모델링된 방열판들의 방열특성을 비교/분석하였다.
