Despite extensive research efforts, the mechanism of the nucleate boiling phenomena is still not clear. A direct numerical simulation of the boiling phenomena is one of the promising approaches in order to clarify its heat transfer characteristics and discuss their mechanism. Therefore, many DNS procedures have been developed based on recent highly advancing computer technologies. This brief review focuses on the state of the art in direct numerical simulation of the pool boiling phenomena over the past two decades. In this review, the fundamentals of the boiling phenomena and the bubble departure and micro-layer models are briefly introduced, and then the numerical procedures for tracking or capturing interface/surface shape such as the front tracking method, level set method, volume of fluid treatments, and other methods (Lattice Boltzmann method, phase-field method and so on) are briefly reviewed.

To investigate the effects of hydrocortisone on new-born rat cardiac endothelial cells in culture, the endothelial cells were isolated by means of enzyme-cocktail method. The cells were cultivated in Lees modified Dulbeco\ulcorner medium and 10[M or 10[M of hydrocortisone was added to the medium. The cells were harvested or coverglass and processed for thiamin pyrophosphatase reaction and Feulgen reaction. The enzymatic activities of Golgi complex, number of cells and number of large nucleated[more than tetraploid] cells were counted and discussed for their significance. The results were summarized as follows; 1. Hydrocortisone seemed to accelerate the rate of recovery of cardiac endothelial cells from isolation damage. 2. Endothelial cells treated with hydrocortisone revealed strong positive reaction to thiamine pyrophosphatase in early culture and 10 M group had stronger reaction than that of 10 AM group 3. Hydrocortisone had inhibiting effects on endothelial proliferation and the higher the concentration of the reagent was the stronger effects. 4. Hydrocortisone inhibited the appearance of large nucleate cells in endothelial cell population. 5. Hydrocortisone seemed to suppress the nuclear DNA synthesis.

Through comparing stress state of TEOS and SiLK-embedded structures, the effect of low-k materials on stress and stress distribution in via-line structures were investigated using three-dimensional finite element analyses. In the case of TEOS-embedded via-line structures, hydrostatic stress was concentrated at the via and the top of the lines, where the void was suspected to nucleate. On the other hand, in the via-line structures integrated with SiLK, large von-Mises stress is maintained at the via, thus deformation of via is expected as the main failure mode. A good correlation between the calculated results and experimentally observed failure modes according to dielectric materials was obtained.

Mono-disperse particles generated by a condensation particle generator are widely used to meet the experimental and industrial needs. The characteristics of particles generated by homogeneous nucleation have been studied experimentally using a laminar flow condensation particle generator. Dry nitrogen gas saturated with oleic acid vapor was cooled well below the saturation temperature causing the highly supersaturated vapor to nucleate. The dependence of GSD(Geometric Standard Deviation), GMD(Geometric Mean Diameter), and the mass concentration of particles on the temperature at the evaporator, flow rate and the temperature condition at condenser was studied. The experimental results show that the mass concentration of particles is affected by the radial temperature profile at condenser. Nucleation at the center of the condenser causes the mass concentration of particles to increase. The experimental results also show that the suppression of additional nucleation by a constant temperature condition at the condenser increases the mean diameter of particle.

본 연구에서는 밀폐형 2상 열사이폰의 액체 Pool에서 발생하는 핵비등현상과 유동영역에 대해 가시화 방법으로 연구하였다. 실험용 열사이폰은 스텐레스와 유리관을 이용하여 제작하였으며, 열공급은 증발부 주위에 설치된 유도 가열용 코일에 고주파를 가함으로써 스텐레스 외면에 발열이 일어나도록 하였다. 이에 따른 결과는 다음과 같다. 실험용 열사이폰은 고주파 가열등 열사이폰의 작동성능을 저해하는 여러 요인들이 포함되어 있었으나, 실험결과 이러한 문제는 실험 내용에 영향을 미칠만큼 크게 나타나지 않았다. 열속과 상당압력의 범위는 각각2$m^2$, 0.1

An experimental parametric study of a tubular heat exchanger has been carried out far the saturated water at atmospheric pressure to determine effects of tube inclination on pool boiling heat transfer. For the analysis, seven inclination angles(0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°, and 90°) and two tube diameters(12.7 and 19.1 mm) were tested. According to the results, inclination angles result in very much change on pool boiling heat transfer. As the inclination angle is around horizontal or vertical, maximum or minimum heat transfer is expected, respectively. For the same wall superheat(about 5.5K) the ratio between two heat fluxes fur $\theta$ =15° and 75° has the value of more than five when the tube diameter is 12.7 mm and heat flux is increasing.

Mist cooling is widely employed as a cooling technique of high temperature surfaces, and it has heat transfer characteristics similar to boiling heat transfer which has the convection, nucleate and film boiling regions. In the present study, mist cooling heat transfer was experimentally investigated for the mist flow impacting on the heated surfaces of mico-fins. The mist flow was generated by supersonic vibration. Experiments were conducted under the test conditions of droplet flow rate, $Q=6.02{\times}10^{-9}{\sim}3.47{\times}10^{-8}\;m^3/s$ and liquid temperature, $T_f=30{\sim}35^{\circ}C$. From the experimental results, it is found that an increase in the droplet flow rate improves mist cooling heat transfer in the both case of smooth surface and surfaces of micro-fins. Micro-fins surfaces enhance the mist cooling heat transfer. Besides, the experimental results show that an increase in the droplet flow rate decrease the heat transfer efficiency of mist cooling.

Spray cooling heat transfer was experimentally investigated for water sprays impacting on mico-fins structured surfaces in the single phase and nucleate boiling regions. The heat transfer surfaces consist of cubic fins and triangular grooved fins. The spray produced using full cone spray nozzles, and experiments were made under the test condition of $Q=4.92{\times}10^{-6}{\sim}15.83{\times}10^{-6}\;m^3/s$, $T_f=35{\sim}55^{\circ}C$. From the experimental results, it was found that cubic fins surface had the largest heat flux enhancement relative to the smooth surface.

An analysis for Steam Line Break (SLB) events which result in a return-to-power conditions after reactor trip was performed for a postulated Yonggwang Nuclear Power Plant Unit 3 cycle 8. Analysis methodology for post-trip return-to-power SLB is quite different from that of a no return-to-power SLB and is more complicated. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an methodology to analyze the response of the NSSS parameter and the fuel performance for the post-trip return-to-power SLB events. In this analysis, the cases with and without offsite power were simulated by crediting 3-D reactivity feedback effect due to local heatup around stuck CEA and compared with the cases without 3-D reactivity feedback with respect to fuel performance, departure from nucleate boiling ratio (DNBR) and linear heat generation rate (LHGR).

The effects of the narrowed upside gap on nucleate pool boiling heat transfer in a vertical annulus were investigated experimentally. For the study, a stainless steel tube with a diameter of 25.4 mm and saturated water that kept an atmospheric condition were used. The ratio between the gaps measured at the upper and the lower regions of the annulus ranged from 0.18 to 1. Two different lengths of the modified gap also were investigated. The change in heat transfer due to the modified gap became evident as the gap ratio decreased and the length of the gap increased. As the gap ratio became less than 0.51, a significant decrease in heat transfer was observed compared to the plain annulus. The longer gap size resulted in an additional decrease in heat transfer. The major cause for the tendency was attributed to the formation of lumped bubbles around the upper region of the annulus followed by the increased flow friction between the fluid and the surface around the modified gap.
