An experimental study was performed to understand the heat transfer and fluid dynamic characteristics of Sub-Cooled Hybrid Condenser (SCHC), which conventional condenser and receiver dryer are integrated into. SCHC also employs a sub-cooled refrigerant passages at the end of the condenser in order to supply perfect liquid refrigerant to the expansion unit. Throughout the present study, it was found that the developed SCHC increases in the degree of sub-cooling by 10~100% compared to conventional condenser. The excessive sub-cooling has improved the cooling performance by 10%, and that leads reduction in evaporator outlet air temperature by $1.5^{\circ}C$. Also found through the study is that the refrigerant pressure drop across SCHC is fairly increased due to insertion of the desiccant cartridge in the receiver tank which is composed of zeolite, filter and supporter plate.

Sub-cooled hybrid condenser(SCHC) which have been developed through this study is an appliance of integrating a condenser with a receiver dryer, which were previously separated. It is supposed that the development of sub-cooled hybrid condenser will be able to reduce not only weight, size, production process and cost, but also quite improve in capability, which will be of great use for the technological development and research of an air conditioning system whose importance is higher in a car. Through the present study it was found that the developed SCHC increases in the degree of sub-cooling by 10∼100% compared to conventional condenser. The excessive sub-cool has improved the cooling performance by 10%, and that leads to the reduction in evaporator outlet air temperature $1.5^{\circ}C$. Additionally, it is expected that sub-cooled hybrid condenser weights less by 100g than the previous condensers which has equal super heat.

In this study, dynamic characteristics analysis of AC system is investigated using a cool thermal storage system. A analysing program for cool thermal storage AC system is developed. The performances are studied by several variables and dynamic characteristics. Comparing the result at conventional operation condition with that at the condition using ice storage system, this study showed the effects of the sub cooled degree, superheated degree, efficiency of compressor and evaporating temperature. At the condition using thermal storage system, the thermal storage process was operated during midnight being not needed the cooling of the AC unit through the continuous running of the condenser. The refrigerant was sub-cooled using stored energy after being discharged from the air source condenser during the daytime. The COP was increased owing to the sub-cooling of refrigerant during daytime, thus the power consumption was effectively decreased.

A simulation program of the plate finned-tubes condenser widely used in the air conditioning system was developed. The program took into account the variations of the flow properties and fluid friction factor of refrigerant, and the heat transfer coefficients of refrigerant and air sides. The program was applied to a copper tube condenser which has outside diameter of 10.05mm, inside diameter of 9.35mm, length of 5.20m and three rows arraied staggered. Simulation results were such that refrigerant was super-heated state from the entrance to the 0.14m point, two-phase flow from the 0.14m point to the 4.10m point, sub-cooled state from the 4.10m point to the outlet. The degree of sub-cooled was $6.1^{\circ}C$. The variations of refrigerant quality, temperature, pressure, velocity, specific enthalpy, specific volume and air temperature, tube temperature were showed.

Experimental basic study was performed to understand the characteristics of sub-cooled refrigerant using a cold heat storage system. This system was made up general vapor-compression refrigeration cycle added sub-cooler and ice storage tank. The purpose of this study are to application use of cold-heat storage systems multiplicity of fields and to understand of sub-cooling system. At the condition using ice storage system, the ice making process was operated during night time by electric power. And then, the refrigerant was sub-cooled using stored cold-heat after being discharged from the air cooling condenser during the day time. Comparing the result at general operation with the operation using sub-cooling system. This study showed the effects of the sub-cooled degree. The cooling performance was increased owing to the sub-cooling of refrigerant during day time, and the compressor consume power was a little decreased. Thus the COP was also increased owing to the sub-cooling of refrigerant.

In this study, theoretical simulation method for the steady state characteristics of a refrigeration cycle which consists of one condenser and multi-evaporator (Multi-air conditioner) is presented. The simulation was performed for a typical multi-air conditioning system consisted one outdoor unit with air-cooled condenser, compressor, linear electric expansion valve and bypass circuit and connected three-evaporators (three indoor units). The simulation results are good agreement with those of experiments within 5 $\sim$ 10% at the given system operation conditions which are condensing pressure, evaporating pressure, sub-cooled degree of condenser, superheated degree, discharge temperature of compressor and pulse of linear electric expansion valve.

Heat transfer experiments in an annulus passage were performed using SPHINX(Supercritical Pressure Heat Transfer Investigation for NeXt Generation), which was constructed at KAERI(Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute), to investigate the heat transfer behaviors of supercritical $CO_{2}$. $CO_{2}$ was selected as the working fluid to utilize its low critical pressure and temperature when compared with water. The mass flux was in the range of 400 to 1200 $kg/m^{2}s$ and the heat flux was chosen at rates up to 150 $kW/m^{2}$. The selected pressures were 7.75 and 8.12 MPa. At lower mass fluxes, heat transfer deterioration occurs if the heat flux increases beyond a certain value. Comparison with the tube test results showed that the degree of heat transfer deterioration in the heat flux was smaller than that in the tube. In addition, the Nusselt number correlation for a normal heat transfer mode is presented.

Porous Ti-systems with unidirectionally aligned channels were synthesized by freeze-drying and a heat treatment process. $TiH_2$ powder and camphene were used as the source materials of Ti and sublimable vehicles, respectively. Camphene slurries with $TiH_2$ content of 10 and 15 vol% were prepared by milling at $50^{\circ}C$ with a small amount of oligomeric polyester dispersant. Freezing of the slurry was done in a Teflon cylinder attached to a copper bottom plate cooled at $-25^{\circ}C$ while unidirectionally controlling the growth direction of the camphene. Pores were generated subsequently by sublimation of the camphene during drying in air for 48 h. The green body was heat-treated at $1100^{\circ}C$ for 1 h in a nitrogen and air atmosphere. XRD analysis revealed that the samples composed of TiN and $TiO_2$ phase were dependent on the heat-treatment atmosphere. The sintered samples showed large pores of about 120 mm which were aligned parallel to the camphene growth direction. The internal wall of the large pores had relatively small pores with a dendritic structure due to the growth of camphene dendrite depending on the degree of nucleation and powder rearrangement in the slurry. These results suggest that a porous body with an appropriate microstructure can be successfully fabricated by freeze-drying and a controlled sintering process of a camphene/$TiH_2$ slurry.

In order to investigate flow characteristics of chicken blood in a micro tube of 100$\mu$m in diameter, in-vitro experiments were carried out using a micro-PIV technique. The micro-PIV system consists of a microscope, 2-head Nd:YAG laser, 12 bit cooled CCD camera and a delay generator. Chicken blood with 40% hematocrit was supplied into a micro tube using a syringe pump. The blood flow shows clearly the cell free layer near the tube wall and its thickness is increased with increasing the flow speed. The hemorheological characteristics of chicken blood, including shear rate and shear stress were estimated from the PIV velocity field data obtained. Since the aggregation index of chicken blood is less than 50% of human blood, non-Newtonian flow characteristics of chicken blood are smaller than those of human blood. As the flow rate increases, the degree of flatness in the velocity profile at the center region is decreased and the parabola-shaped shear stress distribution becomes to have a linear profile. Under the same flow rate, chicken blood shows higher shear stress, compared with human blood.
