Experiment was performed to study the characteristics of pressure drop of multi-channel tubes for automotive condenser using HFC-134a. Single phase liquid and two phase flow pressure drop were measured in one rectangular plain and three micro-fin tubes with 10 channels. Data are presented for the following range of variables: mass flux(200 to $600kg/m^2s$), and inlet saturation pressure of the refrigerant(1.0 and 1.6MPa). For subcooled flow, pressure drops are 10% and 12% higher than that predicted by the Petukhov equation with hydraulic diameter respectively. Two-phase flow pressure drop are compared with the previously proposed correlations, and well predicted by modified correlation that was derived from Traviss correlation. and correlated within -30~+20%. Also experimental data are correlated within -56%~+18% by Webb's prediction method based on the equivalent mass velocity concept originally proposed by Akers et al.

In order to investigate $CO_2$ heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop by PAG oil concentration during $CO_2$ evaporation, the experiment on evaporation heat transfer characteristics in a horizontal micro-fin tube was performed. The experimental apparatus consisted of a test section, a DC power supply, a heater, a chiller, a mass flow meter, a pump and a measurement system. Experiment was conducted for various mass fluxes($400{\sim}1200\;kg/m^2s$), heat fluxes($10{\sim}30\;kW/m^2$) and saturation temperatures ($-5{\sim}5^{\circ}C$), and PAG oil concentration($0{\sim}5\;wt%$). The variation of the heat transfer coefficient was different in accordance with the oil concentration. With the increase of the oil concentration, the evaporation heat transfer coefficient decreased and the delay of dryout by oil addition was found. Pressure drop increased with the increase of the oil concentration and heat flux, and the decrease of saturation temperature.

Miniature Joule-Thomson refrigerators have been widely used for rapid cooling of infrared detectors, optoelectronic device, and integrated circuits of micro electronics. The typical J-T refrigerator consists of the recuperative heat exchanger with the double helical tube and fin configuration, J-T nozzle, a mandrel, Dewar and a compressed gas storage bottle. In this study, to predict the thermodynamic behaviors of the refrigerator with a compressed gas storage bottle during the cool-down time, numerical study of transient characteristics for a J-T refrigerator was developed. A simplified transient one.dimensional model of the momentum and energy equations was simultaneously solved to consider the thermal interactions of the each component of the refrigerator. To account for effects of the thermal mass of the solid, the heat capacities of the tube, fins, mandrel and Dewar are considered. The results show the charged gas pressure of the gas storage bottle has significant effects on the performance of the J-T refrigerator. At the elevated gas pressure of the gas storage bottle, the large capacity of the compressed gas storage does not need to get the fast cool-down performance of the J-T refrigerator in the cool-down stage.

본 연구에서는 토지피복유형에 따른 바이오에어로졸 중 배양성 세균분포를 파악하기 위하여 충청북도 충주시에 위치한 3가지 유형을 대상으로 실시하였다. 토지피복에 따른 기상요소와 바이오에어로졸을 조사하여 측정지점별 미기상변화에 따른 세균 분포를 비교·분석할 수 있었다. 측정지점별 미기상 중 기온의 차이는 도시 숲 8.7℃, 수변 녹지 10.8℃, 도심지 10.2℃로 측정지점 중 도시 숲이 가장 낮은 기온 값을 보였으며, 상대습도는 도시 숲 61.8%, 수변 녹지 59.3%, 도심지 55.7%로 도시 숲이 가장 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 동정된 세균은 43속 99종으로 나타났다. 배양된 세균의 종 다양성 측면에서는 수변녹지 22속, 도시 숲 21속, 도심지 17속으로 조사되었으며, 종수의 경우 수변녹지 37종, 도심지 31종, 도시 숲 31종으로 나타났다. 3가지 유형의 측정지에 모두 존재하는 종은 Bacillus toyonensis와 Pseudarthrobacter oxydan으로 나타났으며, 또한 도시 숲과 수변녹지와 같은 녹지지역에서 존재하는 Herbiconiux flava종을 확인하였다. 측정지점별 미기상환경에 따른 세균농도의 변화를 분석한 결과 도시 숲 333CFU/m³, 수변 녹지 287CFU/m³, 도심지 173CFU/m³ 순으로 나타났으며, 미기상 중 기온변화에 따른 측정지점별 농도변화는 미비하였다. 그러나 상대습도와 풍속은 농도변화와 유사한 경향을 보인 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 토지피복유형에 따른 바이오에어로졸 중 배양성 세균의 분포 정도를 파악하여 측정지점별 바이오에어로졸의 특성을 비교·분석하여 추후 건강한 도시 관리 및 녹지조성의 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다.
