The primary objective of the present study is evaluation of the k-ε-vv-f turbulence model for prediction of natural convection in a rectangular cavity. As a comparative study, the two-layer k-ε model is also considered. Both models, with and without algebraic heat flux model, are applied to the analysis of natural convection in a rectangular cavity. The performances of turbulence models are investigated through comparison with available experimental data. The predicted results of vertical velocity component, turbulent heat fluxes, turbulent shear stress, local Nusselt number and wall shear stress are compared with experimental data. It is shown that, among the turbulence models considered in the present study, the k-ε-vv-f model with an algebraic heat flux model predicts best the vertical mean velocity and velocity fluctuation, and the inclusion of algebraic heat flux model slightly improves the accuracy of results.

Falling-film evaporation experiments with aqueous lithium bromide (LiBr) solution were performed to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of enhanced copper tubes. Enhanced tubes (a knurled tube, a spirally grooved tube, and a tube coated with $20{\mu}m$ aluminum particles) and a bare tube were selected as test specimens. Averaged evaporation fluxes of water were obtained from horizontal tubes with various film Reynolds numbers, system pressures, LiBr concentrations and degrees of wall superheat. The enhanced performance of steam generation was compared between tubes with varying parameters. The knurled tube geometry showed the most excellent performance among the tubes tested. The specified enhanced tubes were more useful for generating steam on a low grade heat source such as waste heat.

The purpose of this study is a heat transfer coefficient test of evaporator tube in shell and tube heat exchanger by shapes, using R-404A. The experimental apparatus is designed to simulate the real heat transfer rate in one shell and tube heat exchanger. The test section is formed four type tubes that are Inner ridged tube, Corrugated tube, Turbo-C tube, Inner fin tube and shell type is formed by electrical heater. All tests were performed at a fixed refrigerant evaporator temperature at $1.5^{\circ}C,\;-3^{\circ}C$ and with mass fluxes of 29, 25 kg/hr. Heat transfer rate is calculated a enthalpy difference in test section. In experiment, heat transfer coefficient measured one by one and electrical heaters are supplemented by evaporator.

The atmospheric and oceanic influences on the air-sea thermal interaction in the East Sea (Japan Sea) are studied by means of an analytic model which is based on the heat budget of the ocean. By means of the model, the model, the annual variations of heat fluxes and air temperatures in the East Sea are analytically simulated. The model shows that the back radiation, the latent heat and the sensible heat increase with the warn water advection. The latent heat increases with the sea surface temperature (SST) but the back radiation and the sensible heat dcrease as the SST increases. In the East Sea, an increase of mean SST by 1.0$^{\circ}C$ yields an increase of mean air temperature by 1.2$^{\circ}C$. The heat storage in the ocean plays an important role in the annual variations of heat flux across the sea surface.

Performance and heat transfer characteristics of an air conditioning system filled with hydro- carbon refrigerants are experimentally investigated. Single component hydrocarbon refrigerants (propane, isobutane, butane and propylene) and binary mixtures of propane/isobutane and propane/butane are considered as working fluids in the air conditioning system. Performances of each refrigerant are obtained at several compressor speeds and temperature levels of secondary heat transfer fluids. The cooling capacity and the coefficient of performance are obtained as test results. Heat transfer data of selected refrigerants are achieved from overall conductance measurement. Average heat transfer coefficients at different mass fluxes are shown and they are also displayed for different heat capacities of the system. Experimental results show that some hydrocarbon refrigerants have better characteristics than R22.

Flow boiling heat transfer coefficients (HTCs) of R22, R134a, R407C, and R410A were measured for a horizontal plain tube. The test section was made of a copper tube of 8.8mm inner diameter and 1000mm length respectively. The refrigerant was heated by passing hot water through an annulus surrounding the test section. All tests were performed at a fixed refrigerant saturation temperature of $5^{\circ}C$ with mass fluxes of 100~300 kg/$m^2$,/TEX>s. HTCs were measured by two methods: the direct wall temperature measurement method and the indirect Wilson plot method. Experimental results showed that the Wilson plot method was affected greatly by the external test conditions and yielded inconsistent results. For the mass flux of 100kg/$m^2$,/TEX>s, HTCs were almost constant regardless of the quality for a given refrigerant HTCs of R134a and R407C were similar to those of R22 while those of R410A were 60% higher than those of R22. For the mass fluxes of 200 and 300kg/$m^2$,/TEX>s, HTCs of R407C were almost the same as those of R22, while HTCs of R134a and R410A were 12-13% and 20~23% higher than those of R22 respectively. For pure refrigerant, Shah\`s correlation yielded a good agreement with the measured data both qualitatively and quantitatively.

The critical heat flux (CHF）experiments have been carried out in a wide range of pressures for an internally heated vertical annulus. The experimental conditions covered ranges of pressures from 0.57 to 15.01 MPa, mass fluxes of 0 kg/$m^2$s and from 200 to 650 kg/$m^2$s, and inlet subcoolings from 85 to 413 kJ/kg. The characteristics of the present data and the effect of pressure on CHF are discussed. Most of the CHFs were identified to dryout of the liquid film in the annular or annular-mist flow. For the mass flux of 200 kg/$m^2$s, there were the indications that the CHF occurred at the transition from annular to annular-mist How in the pressure range of 3~10 MPa. For the mass fluxes of 550 and 650 kg/$m^2$s, the CHFs had a maximum value at a pressure of 2~3 MPa, and the pressure at the maximum CHF values had a trend moving toward the pressure at the peak value of pool boiling CHF as the mass flux decreased. The CHF data under a zero mass flux condition indicate that both the effects of pressure and inlet subcooling on the CHF were smaller, compared with those on the CHF with net water upward flow.

In this work the dynamic heat transfer occurring in a cable penetration fire stop system built in the firewall of nuclear power plants is three-dimensionally investigated to develop a test-simulator that can be used to verify effectiveness of the sealants. The dynamic heat transfer can be described by a partial differential equation (PDE) and its initial and boundary conditions. For the shake of simplicity PDE is divided into two parts; one corresponding to the heat transfer in the axial direction and the other corresponding to the heat transfer on the vertical layers. Two numerical methods, SOR (Sequential Over-Relaxation) and FEM (Finite Element Method), are implemented to solve these equations respectively. The axial line is discretized, and SOR is applied. Similarly, all the layers are separated into finite elements, where the time and spatial functions are assumed to be of orthogonal collocation state at each element. The heat fluxes on the layers are calculated by FEM. It is shown that the penetration cable influences the temperature distribution of the fire stop system very significantly. The simulation results are shown in the three-dimensional graphics for the understanding of the transient temperature distribution in the fire stop system.

Characteristics of evaporation heat transfer in 6.2 and 5.1mm OD micro-fin tubes were investigated in the present study. The data were taken at evaporation temperatures of -5$^{\circ}C$ and 5$^{\circ}C$ and heat fluxes 5kW/$m^2$ to 10kW/$m^2$. Mass flux was consequently maintained at 210, 300 and 410kg/$m^2$s for the 6.2mm OD tube and 465, 500 and 600kg/$m^2$s for the 5.1mm OD tube. The effects of heat flux, mass flux, and outer diameter on the heat transfer coefficient are explored in the present study. The data showed that the evaporation heat transfer coefficient for the 6.2mm OD tube was averagly higher by 16% than that for a 7.0mm OD tube, while the 5.1mm OD tube had approximately 30% higher value than the 6.2mm OD tube.
