Hydronic heated road pavement (HHP) systems have been well established and documented to provide road safety in winter season over the past two decades. However, most of the systems run on asphalt, only a few are tested with concrete, and there rarely is a comparison between those two common road materials in their performance. The aim of this study is to investigate the thermal performance of the concrete HHP systems, including surface temperature variations of experimental pavements in winter season. For preliminary study a small-scale experimental system was installed to evaluate the heat transfer characteristics of the concrete HHP in the test field. The system consists of 3 concrete slabs made of 1 m in width, 1 m in length, and 0.25 m in height. In these slabs, circulating water piping was embedded with different pipe depths of 0.08 m (Case A), 0.12 m (Case B), and 0.20 m (Case C) and same horizontal space of 0.16 m. Heating performance in winter season was tested with different inlet temperatures of 25℃, 30℃, 35℃ and 40℃ during the entire measurement period. Overall, the surface temperature of the concrete HHPs remained above 3℃ in all experimental conditions applied in this study. The results of the surface temperature measurement with respect to the pipe depth showed that Case B was the highest among the three cases. However, the closer the circulating water pipe was to the pavement surface, the greater the heat exchange rate. This results is considered that the heat is continuously accumulated inside the pavements and then the temperature inside the pavements increases, while the amount of heat dissipation decreases as the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of circulating water decreases. In this preliminary test the applicability of the concrete HHP on road deicing was confirmed. Finally, the results can be used as a basis for studying the effects of various variables on road pavements through numerical analysis and for conducting large-scale empirical experiments.

The simulation of power cycle and unsteady gas exchange processes in the inlet and exhaust systems of the single-cylinder 2-stroke cycle compression ignition engine was studied in this paper. In power cycle process, the single-zone model proposed by Whitehouse and Way was used, and the convective and radiative heat transfer from cylinder contents to surroundings was considered. To solve the equations for gas exchange process, the generalized method of characteristics including area change, friction, heat transfer and entropy gradients was used. Also with the path line calculation, the entropy change along the path line and the variation of specific heat due to the change of temperature and the composition of cylinder gas were considered. As a result of the simulation, the change of pressure and temperature in the cylinder against the crank angle, the rate of net heat release, and the change of properties at each point in the inlet and exhaust pipe against the crank angle were obtained. The engine performances under various operating conditions were also calculated.

This study presents a numerical simulation model of vertical ground heat exchangers, considering unsaturated hydro static ground conditions induced by the ground water table fluctuation. Heat transfer in ground and grout is modeled by a 3-D FEM transient conductive heat transfer model, where heat transfer between circulating fluid and heat exchanging pipe is treated as 1-D quasi steady state forced convective elements. To take into account the unsaturated ground condition, soil thermal conductivity and heat capacity which are dependent on the matric suction are applied to ground elements. Parametric studies considering various ground water table conditions are conducted to investigate the influence of unsaturated hydro static ground condition on the mean heat exchange rate of ground heat exchanger. Simulation results considering water table fluctuation show 60~100% of mean heat exchange rate for a saturated soil condition and 125~208% of that for a dry soil condition. Thus consideration of unsaturated soil condition is substantially recommended for more accurate design and performance evaluation for ground heat exchangers.

The collimator is one of the high-heat-flux components used to avoid a series of vacuum and thermal problems. In this paper, the heat load distribution throughout the collimator is first calculated through experimental data, and a transient thermodynamic simulation analysis of the original model is carried out. The error of the pipe outlet temperature between the simulated and experimental values is 1.632%, indicating that the simulation result is reliable. Second, the model is optimized to improve the heat transfer performance of the collimator, including the contact mode between the pipe and the flange, the pipe material and the addition of a twisted tape in the pipe. It is concluded that the convective heat transfer coefficient of the optimized model is increased by 15.381% and the maximum wall temperature is reduced by 16.415%; thus, the heat transfer capacity of the optimized model is effectively improved. Third, to adapt the long-pulse steady-state operation of the experimental advanced superconducting Tokamak (EAST) in the future, steady-state simulations of the original and optimized collimators are carried out. The results show that the maximum temperature of the optimized model is reduced by 37.864% compared with that of the original model. The optimized model was changed as little as possible to obtain a better heat exchange structure on the premise of ensuring the consumption of the same mass flow rate of water so that the collimator can adapt to operational environments with higher heat fluxes and long pulses in the future. These research methods also provide a reference for the future design of components under high-energy and long-pulse operational conditions.

In this study, the heat transfer process around the finned channel tubes is numerically examined. Serially arranged tubes of an evaporator were used for heat exchange. The numerical analysis results confirmed that the vortex generated at the rear of the channel pipe was caused by the fin. Furthermore, it was also confirmed that the temperature difference was large between the inlet and outlet ends of the fin. The temperature of the location where the fin was attached to the channel pipe was found to be close to the surface temperature of the channel wall. However, the temperature rose rapidly closer to the ambient air temperature of 350 K towards the fin end, located at a distance of 0.035 m; it was found to have a significant influence on the heat transfer around the fin-attached channel tube. The wider the vertical flow path, the lower the total heat transfer coefficient. However, the overall heat transfer coefficient increased as the horizontal flow path narrowed. The increment is attributed to an increase in the heat transfer amount due to increased heat transfer surface.

Importance of alternative energy has been increasing due to environmental issues and lack of fossil fuels. In addition, heating cost that occupies from 30 to $40\%$ of the total production cost in the protected cultivation sector in Korea needs to be reduced for profitability and global competition. But, study on geothermal energy to solve these problems has not been activated for Korean protected cultivation. This study was conducted to develop an optimized geothermal exchange system through fundamental test of heat transfer characteristics in soil such as thermal diffusivity, changes in soil temperature during heating and cooling operations, and restorations of soil temperature after the heater was fumed off, These issues were investigated using computer simulation for different depths. The simulated characteristics were evaluated through controlled tests. Simulated characteristics of heat transfer in the soil at different depths showed a reasonable agreement with the results of the controlled tests. All of computer simulation and controlled tests, soil temperatures changed at 10cm and 20cm distance from pipe. but don't change at more than 30cm distance. It means that distances of heat transfer of the soil ranged from 20 to 30cm a day. Based on these results, the optimum spacing between adjacent heat exchange pipes and the pitch were selected as 50 and 40cm, respectively.

본 연구에서는 온실의 온풍식 난방시스템 연통에 장착할 수 있는 폐열 회수기의 성능을 개선하기 위하여 각각 상이하게 설계된 3개의 열교환 장치에 대해 열회수 성능을 실험적으로 비교 분석하였다. A형 열회수시스템의 경우, 초기 투자비용과 현재의 농용 전력요금 하에서 대체로 1년을 전후하여 투자에 대한 보상이 충분한 것으로 판단된다. B형 및 C형 열회수시스템의 경우, 열 회수용 공기 흐름방향이 180$^{\circ}$굴절로 저항이 크게 발생되어 송풍팬의 전압 증가에 따른 유속 증가가 미미하며 동일한 열 교환면적에서는 송풍팬의 공기저항 증대로 열 회수 성능이 현저히 개선되지는 못했지만, 직선형보다 B형의 경우 약 5%. C형의 경우 약 13%정도 높은 열 회수효율을 보였다. 송풍팬의 용량은 A형에 사용된 용량인 25m$^3$/min전후가 적절할 것으로 판단되며, 적정 송풍팬 용량 하에서 열회수성능은 헤어핀형이 직선형보다 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 다만, 헤어핀형은 물론 직선형에서도 열교환 파이프의 배치밀도, 파이프 길이 및 두께 등의 변화에 따른 최적화 연구가 수반되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 이중관형 열회수 환기장치의 제품 적용 가능성을 검토하기 위해 성능 시험을 수행하였으며 이중관의 내측관의 재질에 변경에 따른 검토를 하기 위해 종이관, 알루미늄관, 폴리머관을 제작하여 동일한 급/배기 풍량을 인가하여 측정하였다. 온도 교환 효율은 모든 경우에서 알루미늄관의 경우가 가장 큰 값을 나타냈으며 종이관과 폴리머관은 비슷한 결과를 보였다. 이는 내측관으로 사용된 재료의 열전도율과 두께의 차이 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 습도 교환 효율은 모든 경우에서 종이관의 경우가 가장 큰 값을 나타냈으며 알루미늄관과 폴리머관은 비슷한 결과를 보였다. 이는 종이 재질은 습도 교환이 가능하지만 알루미늄과 폴리머재질은 습도 교환이 불가능하기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 습도 교환과 온도 교환의 두 값을 포함하는 전열 교환 효율은 종이관의 경우가 가장 큰 값을 나타냈으며 알루미늄관과 폴리머관은 비슷한 결과를 보였다. 에너지계수(COE)는 현열과 잠열교환이 동시에 일어나는 종이관의 경우 전열에너지계수 값을 현열교환만 일어나는 알루미늄관과 폴리머관은 현열에너지계수를 비교해 보면 종이관의 에너지계수가 가장 큰 값을 나타냄을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통하여 이중관형 열회수 환기장치의 내부관 재질에 따른 성능을 비교 분석 하였으며 환기장치로 적용이 가능한 것을 알 수 있었다.

In order to design coaxial-type Ground Heat Exchangers (GHEXs) efficiently, the effect of components (i.e, heat exchange pipe and grouting material) on the thermal performance of coaxial-type GHEXs should be identified in advance. In this paper, three coaxial-type GHEXs with different configurations were constructed in a test bed. Then, the effect of heat exchange pipes and grouting materials on the thermal performance of coaxial-type GHEXs was investigated by performing in-situ thermal response tests (TRTs) and thermal performance tests (TPTs). In the TRTs, the effective thermal conductivities of the coaxial-type GHEXs with concrete grouting and STS pipes were improved by 6.15 and 22.7%, respectively compared to those of bentonite grouting and HDPE pipes. Additionally, in the TPTs, the use of concrete grouting and STS pipes in the coaxial-type GHEXs enhanced the in-situ thermal performance by 15 and 33.8%, respectively.
