In the present study, the friction coefficients (Fanning and Moody coefficients) and the Nusselt number is reviewed from an educational point of view. It is discussed that these dimensionless numbers can be treated with two lengh scales. Also, the similarity between the momentum and heat transfer is discussed based on the length scales.

In this study, the characteristics of internal flow and the heat transfer performance of dimpled plate heat exchanger were numerically investigated. For the numerical analysis, conjugate heat transfer method between cold fluid - plate - hot fluid was studied with appropriate boundary conditions. Velocity magnitude, temperature and pressure distribution were obtained from the simulation. Correlations for fanning f-factor and Colburn j-factor were obtained from numerical results and compared to the experimented data.

In this paper, a numerical study was performed to investigate the performance characteristics of a pre-heater. The effects of fin pitch and fin array type(in-line, staggered, leaned array) were reported in terms of Colburn j-factor and Fanning friction factor f, as a function of Re. Three-dimensional numerical simulation has been performed by using flow analysis program, FLUENT 13.0. The results show that Colburn j-factor decreases with the decrease of fin pitch attached in the annular tube. But the fin pitch has little effect on f-factor. The staggered array and leaned array show improved heat transfer performance compared with in-line array, so that Colburn j-factor was increased. It also shows that the f-factor of leaned array is the highest in the studied range of Reynolds number.

Two-dimensional laminar numerical analyses were carried out for investigating the thermo-hydraulic characteristics of wavy channels with different shape parameters ($0.5{\leq}{\in}{\leq}1.5$, $0.1{\leq}{\gamma}{\leq}0.4$). PAO (polyalphaolefin), which is used for electronics cooling, is considered as the working fluid. In addition, constant properties, periodically developed flow, and uniform channel wall temperature conditions are assumed. Streamline and temperature fields, isothermal Fanning friction factors, and Colburn factors are presented for different Reynolds numbers in the laminar region ($1{\leq}Re{\leq}1000$). The results show that heat transfer is enhanced when the channel corrugation ratio (${\gamma}$) is large and channel spacing ratio (${\in}$) is small in the low Reynolds number region (Re < 50) and when ${\in}$ and ${\gamma}$ are large in the high Reynolds number region ($Re{\geq}50$).

Pressure drop at a helical square duct orifice is numerically evaluated. The orifice is installed at the entrance of a once-through steam generator tube to suppress flow instabilities. The calculated results are compared with the available experimental correlations, and showed good agreement. Effects of curvature ratio and characteristics of the secondary flow with Reynolds number are reported. Through the numerical simulations, pressure drop mechanisms were well understood inside the compact and complicated orifice geometry.

This paper presents the calculation methods of liquid release rate in the transition region when hazardous materials leak from the pipeline due to an unwanted accident. For the laminar and turbulent flow region, liquid release rate from a pipeline can be calculated by using a commercial software or by using calculator based on the models(equations) suggested by Crowl and Louvar et al. However, there has been no corresponding model for the transition flow region. In this paper. we showed that the turbulent model may be used as an equation generally used in the transition region for conservative hazard analysis if safety factor $30\%$ is added to the value calculated by the turbulent model. In this regard, we first calculated the release rate from liquid pipeline in the transition region by using experimental data on Fanning friction factor depending on Reynolds number which Lap-Mou Tam et al. had introduced, then compared it with that of the laminar and turbulent models in transition region.
