Objectives: The objective of this paper is to find flow and heat transfer characteristics numerically in boiler buildings for three different ventilation window configurations. Methods: Turbulent natural convection flow in boiler buildings with a constant heating wall temperature was analyzed numerically. Governing equations were solved with standard finite-volume method using the SIMPLE algorithm. Conclusions: Flow and heat transfer characteristics are found for three different ventilation types. In the lower area under furnace, velocity and temperature distributions show similar patterns among the three different ventilation types. In the upper area over furnace, however, air flow is well mixed with lower peak temperatures for types B and C, which have roof ventilation windows, compared to type A which has side wall louvers only. Also, type B, with a single large roof window, shows better ventilation effect than does type C with its distribution roof windows.

An analysis is performed to investigate the influence of the buoyancy force and the thickness variation of melting layer in the containment that is filled with phase-change Material surrounding a cylindrical heating tube during melting process. The phase-change material is assumed to be initially solid at its phase-change temperature and the remaining solid at any given time is still at the phase-change temperature and neglecting the effect of heat transfer occuring within the solid. At the start of melting process, the thickness of melting layer is assumed to be a stefan-problem and after the starting process, the change of temperature and velocity is calculated using a two dimensional finite difference method. The governing equations for velocity and temperature are solved by a finite difference method which used SIMPLE (Semi Implicit Method Pressure linked Equations) algorithm. Results are presented for a wide range of Granshof number and in accordance with the time increment and it is founded that two dimensional fluid flow occurred by natural convection decreases the velocity of melting process at the bottom of container. The larger the radius of heating tube, the higher heat transfer is occurred in the melting layer.

Oil-based nanofluids were prepared by dispersing spherical and fiber shaped $Al_2O_3$ and AlN nanoparticles in transformer oil. Two hydrophobic surface modification processes using oleic acid (OA) and polyoxyethylene alkyl acid ester (PAAE) were compared in this study. The dispersion stability, viscosity and breakdown voltage of the nanofluids were also characterized. $(Al_2O_3+AlN)$ mixed nanofluid was prepared to take an advantage of the excellent thermal conductivity of AlN and a good convective heat transfer property of fiber shaped $Al_2O_3$. For $(Al_2O_3+AlN)$ particles with 1 % volume fraction in oil, the enhancement of thermal conductivity and convective heat transfer coefficient was nearly 11 % and 30 %, respectively, compared to pure transformer oil. The nanofluid, containing $Al_2O_3+AlN$, successfully lowered the temperature of the heating element and oil itself during a natural convection test using a prototype transformer.

As high-level radioactive waste (HLW) generated from nuclear power plants is harmful to the human body, it must be safely disposed of by an engineered barrier system consisting of disposal canisters and buffer and backfill materials. A gap exists between the canister and buffer material in a HLW repository and between the buffer material and natural rock-this gap may reduce the water-blocking ability and heat transfer efficiency of the engineered barrier materials. Herein, the basic characteristics and thermal properties of granular bentonite, a candidate gap-filling material, were investigated, and their effects on the temperature change of the buffer material were analyzed numerically. Heat transfer by air conduction and convection in the gap were considered simultaneously. Moreover, by applying the Korean reference disposal system, changes in the properties of the buffer material were derived, and the basic design of the engineered barrier system was presented according to the gap filling material (GFM). The findings showed that a GFM with high initial thermal conductivity must be filled in the space between the buffer material and rock. Moreover, the target dry density of the buffer material varied according to the initial wet density, specific gravity, and water content values of the GFM.

The thermal integrity of spent nuclear fuels has to be maintained during their long-term dry storage. The detailed temperature distributions of spent fuel assemblies are essential for evaluating the integrity of their dry storage systems. In this study, a subchannel analysis model was developed for a canister of a single fuel assembly using the COBRA-SFS code. The thermal parameters affecting the peak cladding temperature (PCT) of the spent fuel assembly were identified, and sensitivity analyses were performed based on these parameters. The subchannel analysis results indicated the presence of a recirculation flow, based on natural convection, between the fuel assembly and downcomer region. The sensitivity analysis of the thermal parameters indicated that the PCT was affected by the emissivity of the fuel cladding and basket, convective heat transfer coefficient, and thermal conductivity of the fluid. However, the effects of the wall friction factor of the canister, form loss coefficient of the grid spacers, and thermal conductivities of the solid materials, on the PCT were predominantly ignored.

As the LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) tank contains cryogenic liquid, realistic thermal analyses are of a primary importance for a successful design. The structural details of the LNG tank are so complicated that some strategies are necessary to reasonably predict its temperature distribution. The proposed heat transfer model can consider the beneficial effects of insulation layers and a suspended deck on temperature distribution of the outer concrete tank against cryogenic conditions simply by the boundary conditions of the outer tank model. To this aim, the equilibrium condition or heat balance in a steady state is utilized in a various way, and some aspects of heat transfer via conduction, convection and radiation are implemented as necessary. Overall thermal analysis procedures for the LNG tank are revisited to examine some unjustifiable assumptions of conventional analyses. Concrete and insulation properties under cryogenic condition and a reasonable conversion procedure of the temperature-induced nonlinear stress into the section forces are discussed. Numerical examples are presented to verify the proposed schemes in predicting the actual temperature and stress distributions of the tank as affected by the cryogenic LNG for the cases of normal operation and leakage from the inner steel tank. It is expected that the proposed schemes enable a designer to readily detect the effects of insulation layers and a suspended deck and, therefore, can be employed as a useful and consistent tool to evaluate the thermal effect in a design stage of an LNG tank as well as in a detailed analysis.

본 연구에서는 천공과 유동 가이드를 활용한 방사형 히트싱크의 자연대류 열전달 향상에 관해 수치적으로 탐구하였다. 천공과 침니 기반의 유동 가이드를 활용한 개선된 형상의 방사형 히트싱크의 성능을 평가하고, 기존의 방사형 히트싱크와 열 성능을 비교하였다. 연구 결과, 천공형 히트싱크는 연구범위 내에서 천공의 개수와 직경이 클수록 열 성능이 좋아짐을 알 수 있었다. 침니 기반의 유동 가이드를 활용한 히트싱크에 대해서는, 핀의 개수, 침니와 바닥면 사이의 거리의 영향을 분석하였다. 그 결과 핀의 개수와 침니와 바닥면 사이의 거리에 최적화된 값이 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 히트싱크의 방향이 상 방향($0^{\circ}$)에서 최고의 열 성능을, 측 방향($90^{\circ}$)일 때 최악의 열 성능이 나타나는 것을 알 수 있었다. 천공형 히트싱크와 최적의 구조를 갖는 유동 가이드를 갖는 히트싱크는 기존의 방사형 히트싱크와 비교하였을 때, 각각 최대 17%, 20% 개선된 열 성능을 가짐을 알 수 있었다. 본 논문은 공학과 관련한 획기적인 아이디어를 제시함으로써 창업기술개발, 벤처 및 기업가정신 함양에도 중요한 의미를 지닐 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 캡슐형 빙축열시스템에 적용되는 다양한 형상들을 가지는 아이스 볼에 대한 복합열전달 해석들을 수행하였다. 형상은 구 형상과 열전달 표면적을 넓힐 수 있도록 설계한 3가지 다른 형상을 포함하여 총 4가지 형상을 고려하였다. 볼 주위의 유동은 레이놀즈 수 300의 층류 유동으로, 볼 외부와 내부의 강제대류 및 자연대류를 고려하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 상용해석 코드인 ANSYS- FLUENT를 사용하여 비정상 열유동 해석을 수행하였다. 볼의 형상이 열전달에 미치는 영향을 고찰하여, Bone, Dimple, Hole, Sphere 형태 순으로 열전달 효율이 좋음을 확인하였다. 전체해석 기간 동안에 캡슐 내부 유체의 평균온도 차이는 최대 $0.9^{\circ}C$정도였다. 대용량 시스템의 경우 축열조 내에 30만개 이상의 캡슐이 들어가므로 캡슐 형상이 시스템 효율에 미치는 영향이 중요함을 확인하였다.
