A dehumidifier using a thermoelement has many advantages compare to a dehumidifier using compressor systems. However, it is crucial to optimize the performance of heat sink for improving heat dissipation problem on the heat generation part. In this study, we utilized computational fluid dynamics software to compare Nusselt number, temperature and system efficiency based on fin thickness, flow gap between fin and fin length. Moreover, slip flow on the boundary layer was applied for the further analysis. Our objective in this study is to suggest an optimal fin shape to improve heat transfer with the tendency of performance factor depending on change of the shapes. Our results on the optimization of fin shape and analysis of slip flow will be utilized to enhance the heat transfer in the heat sink which is important in the design of dehumidifier using a thermoelement.

Fin conduction not only enhances heat transfer to the ambient air but also increases tube-to-tube conduction. The latter is known to deteriorate the heat exchanger performance. Heat conduction between neighboring tubes thorough the fin is numerically investigated for accurate performance analysis of plate finned-tube heat exchangers. Governing equations for arbitrary plate fin are solved and the temperature distribution is obtained using the principle of superposition. Analysis is made using finite element method by changing the shapes of fin, the arrangements of tubes and the fin parameter mD. It is found that tube-to-tube conduction is significant when mD is small or the distance between neighboring tubes is small.

It is essential to reduce the amount of fossil fuel because facing with the natural problem such as a global warming. To achieve this goal, many of interests in the use of renewable energy is growing. Especially, as one of these renewable energy systems, a solar air heater invention has been conducted for enhancing the efficiency of solar air heater. According to this trend, scale-down sized experiment apparatus was constructed and performed for searching a proper fin and confirming the heat transfer performance by fin shape on constant heat condition to enhance efficiency of solar air heater. In this experiment, heat gain, convection heat transfer coefficient, number of transfer units, Nusselt number, Reynold's number, friction factor, performance factor were investigated in order to evaluate the thermal characteristics based on the real data obtained. By comparison with the each fin performance, a zigzag shape keeping a right angle to the plate had the highest value among them.

The objective of this paper is to describe the optimization of design parameters in a large-sized commercial bus heater system by using CFD(computational fluid dynamics) analysis and Taguchi method. In order to obtain the best combination of each control factor which results in a desired performance of heater system, the parameter design of the Taguchi method is adopted for the robust design considering the dynamic characteristic. The research activity may be divided into four phases. The first one is analyzing the problem, i.e., ascertaining the influential factors. In the second phase the levels were set in such a way that their variation would significantly influence the response. In the third phase the experimental runs were designed. In the final phase the planned runs were carried out numerically to evaluate the optimal combination of factors which is able to provide the best response. In this study, eight factors were considered for the analysis: one with two level and seven with three level combinations comprising the $L_{18}(2^1{\times}3^7)$ orthogonal array. The results of this study can be summarized as follows ; (i)The optimum condition of control factor is a set of <$A_2\;B_1\;C_3\;D_3\;E_1\;F_2\;G_3\;H_2$> where A is shape of the outer fin, B is pitch of the outer fin, C is height of the outer fin, D is the inner fin number, E is the inner fin height, F is length of the flame guide, G is diameter of the heating element and H is clearance between air guide and heating element. (ii)The heat capacity of heated discharge air under the optimum condition satisfies the equation y=0.6M w here M is a signal factor. (iii)The warm-up rate improves about three times, more largely as com pared with the current condition, which results in about 9.2minutes reduction.

The present study was investigated the effect of the driving condition on the performance of a louver fin and tube type heat exchanger under frosting condition. Heat transfer rate and pressure drop by frost were experimentally investigated. Effects of the wet blub temperature and the shape of a fin on heat transfer performances has been also investigated. The key parameters were fin type(louver and corrugate fin) and the wet blub temperature of air (0.5, 1.0, $1.5^{\circ}C$). The heat transfer performance of the louver fin and tube type heat exchanger was higher by 0.89% than the corrugate fin type. As the wet blub temperature of air were increased, the heat transfer rate, pressure drop and mass of frost of three test models(Type A, B, C) were increased. Especially, the maximum heat transfer rate and maximum pressure drop were shown for the louver fin and tube type heat exchanger. As a experimental result, the enhancement factor(EF) of louver fin and tube type heat exchanger was $0.2{\sim}0.4$ due to the high pressure drop.

본 연구에서는 절곡 깊이(1.4 mm)와 절곡 핏치(5.5 mm)가 같은 둥근 웨이브와 각진 웨이브 핀-관 열교환기에 대한 실험을 통하여 절곡 형상이 전열성능에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. j 인자의 경우 둥근 웨이브 핀이 모든 열수에서 1.2~22% 크고 f 인자는 3열의 경우 8.3~23% 크고 1, 2열의 경우는 -1.0~29% 작다. 둥근 웨이브 핀이 우수한 성능을 보이는 이유로 둥근 웨이브 핀의 경우 각진 웨이브 핀 보다 유동이 핀의 곡면을 잘 따라갈 수 있으므로 골에 존재하는 재순환 영역의 크기가 줄어들기 때문으로 판단된다. 둥근 웨이브 핀의 경우 핀 핏치가 j와 f 인자에 미치는 영향은 크지 않다. 또한 j 인자는 튜브 열수가 증가할수록 감소하는 반면 f 인자는 튜브 열수와 무관하다. 실험 데이터로부터 새로운 상관식을 도출하였다.

두 판을 맞대기 용접할 경우 용접부 시종단부 측면에 열전도도가 큰 금속(예를 들어 구리)으로 만든 엔드 탭을 장착하고 용접을 진행하면 용접부 끝부분의 비드흘러내림과 결함을 방지할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 엔드 탭의 방열 성능을 강화시키기 위하여 자연 대류에 의한 방열 특성이 뛰어난 것으로 알려진 평판 휜 모양을 적용하였고, 실험 및 수치해석을 통하여 엔드 탭에 평판 휜 모양의 구멍이 있는 형상이 구멍이 없는 형상보다 방열 성능이 더 뛰어남을 확인하였다. 그리고 열, 유동해석을 통하여 엔드 탭의 휜 형상에 대한 냉각 속도를 평가하여, 방열 성능 측면으로 도움이 될 형상 인자적인 특성을 파악하였다. 그 결과, 엔드 탭에 수직 휜이 있으며 휜 간 간격에 최적 휜 간 간격 식을 적용한 구조가 우수한 형상으로 판단되었다.

The present study was investigates the effect of the parameters on the frost formation and heat transfer performance such as fin shape, air temperature and air velocity. Heat transfer rate and pressure drop by frost were experimentally investigated. Effect of the wet blub temperature and air velocity on the heat transfer performance has been also investigated. The heat transfer performance of the louver fin and tube type heat exchanger was higher by maximum of 0.85% than the corrugate fin type at the air temperature of $2.0/1.5^{\circ}C$. As the wet blub temperature of air were increased, the heat transfer rate, pressure drop and mass of frost of three test models were increased. Especially, the maximum heat transfer rate and maximum pressure drop were shown for the Type B louver fin heat exchanger. As an experimental result, the enhancement factor(EF) of louver fin and tube type heat exchanger was only $0.2{\sim}0.4$ due to the high pressure drop.

Heat transfer performances of individual row of two-row fin and tube heat exchangers are experimentally investigated. Tested are four heat exchangers which are geometrically identical with the exception of fin shape, slit or louver, and that the fins between the first row and the second row are connected or separated. The tube diameter and fin spacing of the heat exchangers examined are 7mm and 1.4mm, respectively. All thermal fluid measurements are made using a psychrometric calorimeter. In order to evaluate air-side heat transfer coefficients of individual rows, tube-side water flow rates of individual rows are independently controlled such that the water-side temperature drops in each row remain at $5^{\circ}C$. Frontal air velocity varies in the range from 0.7m/s to 2.5m/s. Heat transfer coefficients are presented in terms of Colburn ${\jmath}-factor$. The results show that the heat transfer coefficient of the upstream row is larger than that for the downstream row at low Reynolds numbers.
