An experimental study has been conducted to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO₂) uniformly heated in the horizontal circular smooth tube. The results illustrated that there was a significant difference in heat transfer between the top wall and bottom wall due to the buoyancy. Bulk flow acceleration cannot be negligible in the high heat flux region, which leads to heat transfer deterioration. A new heat transfer correlation is proposed, in which the buoyancy parameter and bulk flow acceleration have been taken into account. The new correlation and six classic correlations for sCO₂ are examined in horizontal tubes. The comparison indicates that the new correlation has a better performance for sCO₂ flowing through a horizontal heating tube under natural circulation conditions. For example, 94.9% of the calculated results using the new heat transfer correlation were within ±30% of the experimental results while only 87.9% of that using the Jackson correlation (the best of the six) were within the same error bands.

레이놀즈 수의 시간 증가율이 벽면난류 구조에 미치는 영향을 난류 채널유동에 대한 직접수치모사를 수행하여 조사하였다. 완전 발달된 $Re_{\tau}=180$의 난류 채널유동이 가속을 받게 되어 평균속도로 무차원화된 레이놀즈 수가 5600에서 13600까지 선형적으로 변화하게 된다. 다양한 가속 시간에 대한 계산을 수행하여 벽면난류에 대한 가속율의 효과를 파악하였다. 유량의 증가율이 큰 경우에는 우회 천이와 유사한 현상이 발견되었으며, 유량의 증가율이 낮은 경우에는 우회 천이 현상이 거의 나타나지 않았다. 본 연구 결과는 초기 레이놀즈 수와 최종 레이놀즈 수의 비 보다는 레이놀즈 수의 시간 증가율이 채널 내 과도유동에서의 우회 천이 현상 발생에 주요인자 임을 제시한다.

Direct numerical simulation (DNS) of strongly-heated air flows moving upward in a vertical tube has been conducted to investigate the effect of gas property variations on turbulence modification. Three heating conditions(q$_1$$^{+}$=0.0045, 0.0035 and 0.0018) are selected to reflect the experiment of Shehata and McEligot (1998) at the inlet bulk Reynolds numbers of 4300 and 6000. At these conditions, the flow inside the heated tube remains turbululent or undergoes a transition to subturbulent or laminarizing flow. Consequently, a significant impairment of heat transfer occurs due to the reduction of flow turbulence. The predictions of integral parameters and mean profiles such as velocity and temperature distributions are in excellent agreement with the experiment. The computed turbulence data indicate that a reduction of flow turbulence occurs mainly due to strong flow acceleration effects for strongly-heated internal gas flows. Thus, buoyancy influences are secondary but not negligible especially for turbulent flow at low heating condition. Digital flow visualization also shows that vortical structures rapidly decay as the heating increases.s.

A finned tube type heat exchange module has been proposed for a multi-burner water tube boiler. Fin density and length increase in streamwise direction to equalize the evaporation for each module, which makes it difficult to apply conventional bulk design procedure. The design program has been improved by updating data for every row of tubes along the flow. A numerical simulation has been also conducted to evaluate the effect of inlet conditions and validated with experiment. The heat transfer of the first row has been underpredicted by the conventional Zhukauskas correlation, since the acceleration of the flow due to the blockage is not fully inflected. The fin tip temperature is also underpredicted by Bessel solution, because of the interaction with neighboring fins.

초임계 $CO_2$의 수직상향유동에서의 난류열전달에 관한 실험적연구가 내경 4.5 mm의 원형관에서 수행되었다. 실험범위는 유체평균온도 $29-115^{\circ}C$, 압력 74.6 - 102.6 bar, 국부 벽면 열유속 $38-234kW/m^2$ 그리고 질량유속 $208-874kg/m^2s$였다. 중간정도의 벽면 열유속 및 낮은 질량유속에서 벽면온도는 확연한 최대점을 나타냈다. 열전달에 대한 부력 및 유동가속의 영향을 살펴보기 위하여 실험 및 참조상관식(Kranoshchekov and Protopopov)에서 획득된 Nusselt 수의 비를 부력 및 유동가속을 나타내는 변수인 $Bo^*$ 및 $q^+$를 이용하여 분석하였다. 이 분석을 통해 유동가속 변수인 $q^+$는 실험에서의 열전달 현상을 적절히 표현할 수 있는 변수라는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 마지막으로 초임계 유체의 수직상향 유동에서의 새로운 열전달 상관식이 개발되었으며, 이 상관식은 ${\pm}30%$의 오차범위에서 실험데이터를 잘 예측하였다.
