R410A and R407C are considered to be alternative refrigerants to R22 for the air-conditioners. Experimental investigation is made to study the condensation heat transfer characteristics of slit fin-tube heat exchanger using alternative refrigerants R410A and R407C. R407C, a non-azeotropic refrigerant mixture, exhibited a quite different condensation phenomenon from those of R22 and R410A and its condensation heat transfer coefficient was much lower than that of R22 and R410A. Between the R22 and R410A, the condensation heat transfer coefficient of R410A, near-azeotropic refrigerant mixture, was a little higher than that of R22. R410A also showed the lowest condensation pressure drop across the test section. For all refrigerants, the condensation heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop increase as the mass flux increases.

Accurate predictions of heat transfer coefficient of vertical laminar film-boiling are very important in many engineering applications. There are many predictions, however they are not exact as yet, since they have used the assumption of constant thermodynamic properties in the analysis. In this paper, heat transfer of vertical film boiling was analysized by Runnge Kutta method using veriable thermodynamic properties. 1/4 interval method was exployed for the prediction of unknown wall boundary condition. Numerical computations were performed with varying the wall temperature and the free stream velocity of liquid. Results show that assumption of constant thermodynamic properties induced considerable error in predicting the heat transfer coefficient, friction factor, film thickness, and critical length for transition to turbulent flow. Comparision of the predicted heat transfer coefficient of present analysis with that from Bromley's correlation shows that the use of general latent heat in Bromely equation instead of modified latent heat is more desireable since it makes the coefficient of Bromley equation into constant.

Numerical analyses have been performed to obtain the absorption heat and mass transfer coefficients and the absorption mass flux from a falling film of the LiBr aqueous solution which is cooled by cooling air. Heat flux at the wall is specified in terms of the heat transfer coefficient of cooling air and the cooling air temperature. Effects of operating conditions, such as the heat transfer coefficient, the cooling air temperature, the system pressure and the solution inlet concentration have been investigated in view of the local absorption mass flux and the total mass transfer rate. Effects of film thickness and film Reynolds number on the heat and mass transfer coefficients have been also estimated. Analyses for the constant wall temperature condition have been also carried out to examine the reliability of present numerical method by comparing with previous investigations.

In this study, condensation heat transfer experiments were conducted with two small diameter(ø7.5, ø4.0) tubes. Comparison with existing in-tube condensation heat transfer correlations indicated that the correlations overpredict the present data. For example, Akers correlation overpredicts the data upto 104%. The condensation heat transfer coefficient of the ø4.0 I.D. tube was smaller than that of the ø7.5 I.D tube; at the mass velocity of 300kg/$m^2$s, the difference was 12%. The pressure drop data of the small diameter tubes ware highly(two to six times) overpredicted by the Lockhart-Martinelli correlation. Subcooled forced convection heat transfer test confirmed that Gnielinski's single phase heat transfer correlation predicted the data reasonably well.

Characteristics of heat transfer in a smooth and finned tube located vertically in atmospheric fluidized bed combustor which uses low grade anthracite coals was studied. Experiments to investigate the characteristics of heat transfer between smooth and finned tube are carried out and the results depend on particle size, fluidizing air velocity and bed temperature are summarized. It is found that heat transfer coefficient of the smooth and finned tube increases with decrease in particle diameter and increase in bed temperature. Furthermore, it is noted that heat transfer coefficient increase at the first with increase in the velocity of fluidizing air and tends to decrease at a certain fluidizing air velocity. The increase of heat transfer coefficient for the finned tube is appeared to be increased in 30% compared to that for the smooth tube.

Casting structures and properties are determined by the solidification speed in the metal mold. The heat transfer characteristics of the interface between the mold and the casting is one of the major factors that control the solidification speed. According to Sully's research, the thermal resistance exists due to the air-gap formation at the mold-casting interface during the freezing process and the interface heat transfer coefficient is used to describe the degree of it. In this study, one-dimensional Stefan problem with air-gap resistance in the cylindrical geometry is considered and heat transfer characteristics is numerically examined. The temperature distribution and solidification speed are obtained by using the modified variable time step method. And the effects of the major parameters such as mold geometry, thermal conductivity, heat transfer coefficient and initial temperature of casting on the thermal characteristics are investigated.

In this paper, natural convection around the ambient evaporator was numerically studied using commercial computational fluid dynamics software. From the simulations, temperature and velocity fields around the evaporator were found as a function of evaporator size and liquefied gas flow rate. The heat transfer coefficient at the external surface of the evaporator was also calculated from the simulation results. In order to give the heat transfer coefficient for various conditions, correlation between Rayleigh number and Nusselt number was proposed.

Forced convective boiling heat transfer coefficients were predicted for an annular flow inside a horizontal tube for pure refrigerants and nonazeotropic binary refrigerant mixtures. The heat transfer coefficients were calculated based on the turbulent temperature profile in liquid film and vapor core considering the composition difference in vapor and liquid phases, and the nonlinearity in mixing rules for the calculation of mixture properties. The heat transfer coefficients of pure refrigerants were estimated within a standard deviation of 14% compared with available experimental data. For nonazeotropic binary refrigerant mixtures, prediction of the heat transfer coefficients was made with a standard deviation of 18%. The heat transfer coefficients of refrigerant mixtures were lower than linearly interpolated values calculated from the heat transfer coefficients of pure refrigerants. This degradation was represented by several factors such as the difference between the liquid and the overall compositions, the conductivity ratio and the viscosity ratio of both components in refrigerant mixtures. The temperature change due to the concentration gradient was a major factor for the heat transfer degradation and the mass flux itself at the interface had a minor effect.

An experimental study of condensation heat transfer was performed for pure refrigerants HFC32, HFCI25, and HFC134a, and a ternary refrigerant mixture of HFC32/125/134a (23/25/52wt%). The heat transfer coefficients were measured inside a horizontal smooth tube 5.8 mm I.D. and 8.0 m long. The refrigerant temperature at inlet was 40 $^{\circ}C$, and the mass flux was varied from 150 to 400 $kg/m^2s$. As for the pure refrigerants, the heat transfer coefficient of HFC32/125/l34a decreased as the quality decreased. In addition, the heat transfer coefficient of HFC32/l25/134a was about 20 % lower than HFC 134a at a low mass flux but showed no reduction at a high mass flux. The heat transfer coefficient of ternary refrigerant mixtures was 30% lower on the average than that of the pure refrigerant.

Nanofluids are suspensions of metallic or nonmetallic nano powders in base liquid and can be employed to increase heat transfer rate in various applications. In this research the heat transfer characteristics has been experimented by alumina(50 nm)/water nano-fluids. Experimental results showed that the increasing the concentration of alumina nanofluids local and average heat transfer coefficient increased. The local heat transfer coefficient of 6 Wt% nanofluid was increased 37~46% than water at X/D=50~120. The average heat transfer coefficient of 6 Wt% nanofluid was rapidly increased than water at Reynolds number 1100~1300.
