Recently solar energy is representative in the technology development and spread of alternative energy. Specially in condition of solar collectors, they have had very various shape. This paper reports experimental study about the application of Oscillating Capillary Tube Heat Pipe to flat-plate solar collector. In conclusion, overall temperature distribution of OCHP was investigated by charging ratio and inclination angle. Respective charging ratio is 15%, 20%, 40% and respective inclination angle is horizontal, $30^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$, perpendicular. As a result of experiment, charging ratio 20% heat pipe has shown the most uniform temperature distribution and also performance of heat transfer has been the best.

The purpose of this study was to develop a cooler/heater using a thermoelectric module combined with a parallel flow type oscillating heat pipe with R-142b as a work ing fluid. The experiment was performed for 16 thermoelectric modules (6 A/15 V, size: 40${\times}$40${\times}$4 mm), varying design parameters of the heat pipe (inclination angle, working fluid charging ratio, etc) . Experimental results indicate that the optimum charging ratio and the inclination angle of the parallel flow type oscillating heat pipe were 30% by volume and 30%, respectively. The maximum cooler/heater capacity were 479W (COP : 0.47) and 630W (COP : 0.9), respectively.

A mackerel grader is a machine for sorting mackerel according to size. In this study, the dynamic deflection and optimal sorting simulation of a mackerel grader was carried out by using multi-body dynamics. To analyze the dynamic deflection of the roller, RecurDyn, a multi-body dynamics analysis program, was used. The dynamic deflection of the roller pipe was analyzed according to the inclination of the roller pipe. When the inclination of the roller pipe was 30 degrees, the roller indicated the maximum deflection of about 6.3 mm at the center of the mass. To simulate the mackerel sorting, the mackerel grader machine was modeled, and the contact simulation between the mackerel model and the rotating roller pipe was carried out. When the inclination of the roller frame was 7 degrees, the mackerel grader indicated optimal sorting performance.

This paper is to research the heat transfer characteristic performance of the copper-water heat pipe with the screen wicks. Recently, the semiconductor capacity of an electronic unit has been larger, on the contrary, its size has been much smaller. As a result, a high-performance cooling system is needed. Experimental variables are inclination angles, temperatures of cooling water and the mesh number of screen wicks. The distilled water was used for the working fluid. At the inclination angle $6^{\circ}$ in top heat mode, the two layers of the 100-mesh screen wick showed the best heat transfer performance. The thermal resistance of the two layers with the 100-mesh screen was 0.7~$0.8^{\circ}C$/W.

This paper is to study the heat transfer performance of the copper-water heat pipe with screen wicks. Recently, the semiconductor capacity of an electronic unit becomes larger, but its size becomes much smaller. As a result, a high- performance cooling system is needed. Experimental variables are inclination angles, temperatures of cooling waters and the mesh number of screen wicks. The distilled water was used as a working fluid. Based on the experimental results, when the copper-water heat pipe of 6mm diameter is used at the top heat mode, the heat transfer performance of 100 mesh 2 layers heat pipe is better than that of 150 and 200 mesh. The thermal resistance of the two layers with the 100-mesh screen was 0.7-$0.8^{\circ}C$/W.

In the present study, the characteristics of pressure oscillation and heat transfer performance in an oscillating capillary tube heat pipe were experimentally investigated with respect to the heat flux, the charging ratio of working fluid, and the inclination angle to the horizontal orientation. The experimental results showed that the frequency of pressure oscillation was between 0.1 Hz and 1.5 Hz at the charging ratio of 40 vol.%. The saturation pressure of working fluid in the oscillating capillary tube heat pipe increased as the heat flux was increased. Also, as the charging ratio of working fluid was increased, the amplitude of pressure oscillation increased. When the pressure waves were symmetric sinusoidal waves at the charging ratios of 40 vol.% and 60 vol.%, the heat transfer performance was improved. At the charging ratios of 20 vol.% and 80 vol.%, the waveforms of pressure oscillation were more complicated, and the heat transfer performance reduced. At the charging ratio of 40. vol.%, the heat transfer performance of the OCHP was at the best when the inclination angle was 90$^{\circ}$ the pressure wave was a sinusoidal waveform, the pressure difference was at the least, the oscillation amplitude was at the least, and the frequency of pressure oscillation was the highest.

The purpose of this research it to develop gas-air rotary heat exchanger using heat pipe and the performances were examined by way of the theoretical analysis and the experiment. Centrifugal force to return the working fluid in heat pipe elements with different radius was evaluated as a function of the revolution speed and inclination angle, and a rotary heat exchanger with 60 heat pipes in 3 rows was designed and manufactured. The inclination angle of a heat pipe relative to the revolving axis was designed to be 2$^{\circ}$and water was used as a working fluid. Experimental result showed the heat exchange rate was enhanced by 16% with compared to the calculated value.
