In the present study, experiment on the evaporation of pure water droplet on heated surface was conducted, and the evaporative heat transfer coefficients were calculated from experimental results. The pure water droplet of about $10{\mu}l$ was applied onto the heat transfer surface, then the shape of the droplet was analyzed during the evaporation. In addition, the effect of surface roughness on the evaporative heat transfer was also investigated. Experimental results showed that the evaporative heat transfer coefficients increased rapidly along with the increase of surface temperature and the heat transfer coefficients increased with the increase of surface roughness.

Thin films of silver with high reflectance of 95% and above were fabricated successfully on polyester substrate by using e-beam evaporation processes. The optimum process condition was investigated by varying the current values applied while keeping the substrate temperature at room temperature by circulating the cooling water around it during deposition. Thin films of silver deposited with 30 mA as current revealed the highest reflectance of 96.4%, while being illuminated with a light of 700nm wave-length. But their adhesion showed unsatisfactory results. Though the films showed a condensation type in the cross-sectional views, they revealed crystallinity in the planes of (111) and (200) and growth orientation in <100> direction.

This paper presents the experimental results of evaporation heat transfer coefficients of HC(e.g. R290 and R600a), R-22 as a HCFCs refrigerant in horizontal double pipe heat exchangers, having four different inner diameters of 10.07 mm and 6.54 mm respectively. The experiments of the evaporation process were conducted at mass flux of $35.5{\sim}210.4\;kg/m^2s$ and cooling capacity of $0.95{\sim}10.1\;kW$. The main results were summarized as follows : The average evaporation heat transfer coefficient of R-290 and R-600a was higher value than that of R-22. In comparison with R-22, the evaporation heat transfer coefficient of R-290 and 600a is approximately $56.7{\sim}70.1$ and $46.6{\sim}59.7%$ higher, respectively. In comparison with experimental data and some correlations, the evaporation heat transfer coefficients are well matched with the Kandlikar's correlation regardless of a type of refrigerants and tube diameters.

Titanium alloy has been widely used in the aerospace industry because of its high strength and good corrosion resistance. During cutting, the low thermal conductivity and high chemical reactivity of titanium generate a high cutting temperature and accelerates tool wear. To improve cutting tool life, cryogenic machining by using a liquid nitrogen (LN2) jet is suggested. In cryogenic jet cooling, evaporation of LN2 in the tank and transfer tube could cause pressure fluctuation and change the cooling rate. In this work, cooling uniformity is investigated in terms of liquid nitrogen jet pressure in cryogenic jet cooling during titanium alloy turning. Fluctuation of jet spraying pressure causes tool temperature to fluctuate. It is possible to suppress the fluctuation of the jet pressure and improve cooling by using a phase separator. Measuring tool temperature shows that consistent LN2 jet pressure improves cryogenic cooling uniformity.

Experimental study was performed to understand the operations of a showcase working in a discount store. Temperatures of evaporation, condenser were measured and also electric power consumption of compressor were measured. The purpose of this study is to application use of cold-heat storage systems operated the showcase. At the condition using ice storage system, the ice making process was operated during midnight being not needed the cooling of the showcase through the continuous running of the condenser unit. And then, the refrigerant was sub-cooled using stored cold-heat after being discharged from the air cooling condenser during the day time. The cooling performance was increased owing to the sub-cooling of refrigerant during day time, hence the running time of the compressor was effectively decreased. In other words, this study showed that power consumption during daytime can be transferred to the midnight for making use of the refrigerant sub-cooling. So the operating characteristics of the showcase system under various working conditions were analyzed and discussed.

For the environment protection, carbon dioxide as a natural refrigerant has been studied to use in an automotive air conditioning system. Hence, a numerical model has been developed to describe the evaporation phenomena of carbon dioxide flowing through very small diameter tubes. The two dimensional low-Reynolds $k-{\varepsilon}$ model was used to predict the flow phenomena of carbon dioxide in the two phase during its evaporation. Furthermore, the results obtained from the model were compared with the experiments for the validation. The heat transfer coefficient is lower, as the tube inner diameter becomes smaller. However, the amount of heat absorbed by a unit mass of carbon dioxide is greater due to more surface area. Therefore, the small diameter tube has advantage in terms of compact design of evaporator. When the inlet condition of pressure and temperature is low, the heat transfer coefficient is slightly high at the same size of tube because of the thermal properties of carbon dioxide.

The evaporation characteristics of nanofluid droplets on a heated solid surface were experimentally investigated. The experiments were conducted using pure water and a nanofluid of water mixed with CuO nanoparticles, and the solid surface was made of a copper block heated by a nine cartridge heater. The experimental results showed that the evaporation rate of the nanofluid droplet was higher than that of the pure water droplet on the heated solid surface because nanoparticles increased the thermal conductivity of the nanofluid. Furthermore, it was found that the evaporation rate of the nanofluid droplet increased with the solid surface roughness. This may be because the actual area of the liquid-solid interface increased with the solid surface roughness.

Seoul Metro has operated the air cooling equipment established in a machine room of a station building to improve our services focused on our customers who use Seoul Metro during the summer season. However, a new set of problems has arisen with the cooling tower to support a heat exchange of cooling water. One of them is loss of efficiency in the air conditioner. The leading cause of this problem is that we use an underground type of the cooling tower. As the machine room of a station building is located in the underground of inner city because of the nature of the subway, it is difficult to establish the cooling tower on the ground. The underground structure of the No. $1{\sim}4$ subway line is unsuitable for the location requirements of the underground type of the one because it has a limited space to set up the air cooling equipment, for example, the cooling tower and a ventilating opening. As a result of such an unfavorable condition, the cooling tower doesn't work efficiently and the warmth of cooling water because of insufficiency of a heat exchange and a refrigerator's technical obstacle such as a high-temperature and a high-pressure has arisen. Accordingly, the efficiency of the air conditioning is getting lower and lower. Another problem is too wasteful with water. Each station uses the water over 30 tons every day with waterworks to replenish the cooling tower such as a evaporation, a scattering and a distribution of water. Nevertheless, the more an air conditioner increase, the more the use of water supply increase. For this reason, we can't help wasting an enormous amount of water and discharging the congelation of a low temperature(about $15^{\circ}C$) occurred in a heat exchanger inside an air conditioner. The purpose of this study is to analyze the utility of congealing water to improve efficiency of the air cooling equipment and save energy as a supplementary water for the cooling tower.

The ventilation effect of a ventilation system, which is classified as the forced ventilation and natural ventilation, is predominantly dependent on the combination of air supply and discharge. Perhaps the simplest ventilation is merely supplying the air as it is. However, to improve the indoor working environment during the summer, an air supply that is cooled to some extent has been widely adopted. Recently, a cooling method utilizing the vaporization of water was introduced. In this study, the performance of an evaporation-type air supply unit that was produced by Japan K-company and was installed in a shoe-manufacturing plant in Busan was investigated. The purpose of the experiment was to measure how much the supplied air could be cooled. From this experimental study, we confirmed that the evaporation-type air supply system is efficient, capable of improving the working environment during the summer while minimizing the energy cost.

This study was retentive material into the porosities of the permeable asphalt concrete, we developed retentive asphalt concrete which can absorb water in rain and decrease the temperature of the pavement through the vaporization of rainwater. The experimental results showed that the maximum stability appeared in the 5.0% types of both AP-5 and SBS PMA. Between these two types, the maximum stability of the asphalt with AP-5 was 480kg, which means it met the stability requirement for walkways but didn't meet the requirement for roadways. On the other hand, the maximum stability of the asphalt concrete with SBS PMA was 676kg, which was 176 kg higher than the requirement for roadways(500kg) and satisfy the requirement of KS. The retentive material was 56.4% in the type of the retentive material with 30% diatomaceous earth, 66.6% in 50% type, 87.5% in 70% type. In the aspect of thermal properties, the retentive asphalt concrete can lower the surface temperature by about 15 degrees lower than the normal asphalt concrete can. This effect could be made by the evaporation cooling effect and the surface albedo. It should be noted that the evaporation cooling effect cools it by about 10 degrees and the surface albedo by about 5 degrees.
