Numerical analysis has been carried out to investigate transient turbulent convective heat transfer in a vertical tube for supercritical water near the thermodynamic critical point. Heat transfer and fluid flow in the tube we strongly coupled due to the large variations of thermodynamic and transport properties such as density, specific heat, and turbulent viscosity. As pressure in the tube approaches to the critical pressure, the properties variation with time becomes larger. Heat transfer coefficient rapidly decreases along the tube near the pseudocritical temperature at the tube wall for $P_R<1.2$. Stanton number variation with time is largely reduced in the region of gas-like phase in comparison with Nusselt number. Turbulent viscosity ratio close to the wall increases near the pseudocritical temperature and it gradually decreases with time.

Numerical analysis has been carried out to investigate laminar convective heat transfer in a tube for supercritical water near the thermodynamic critical point. Fluid flow and heat transfer are strongly coupled due to large variations of thermodynamic and transport properties such as density, specific heat, viscosity, and thermal conductivity near the critical point. Heat transfer characteristics in the developing region of the tube show transition behavior between liquid-like and gas-like phases with a peak in heat transfer coefficient distribution near the pseudocritical point. The peak of the heat transfer coefficient depends on pressure and wall heat flux rather than inlet temperature and Reynolds number, Results of the modeling provide convective heat transfer characteristics including velocity vectors, temperature, and the properties as well as the heat transfer coefficient. The effect of proximity to the critical point is considered and a heat transfer correlation is suggested for the peak of Nusselt number in the tube.

Numerical modeling is carried out to investigate forced convective heat transfer to near-critical water in developing laminar flow through a circular tube. Due to large variations of thermo-physical properties such as density, specific heat, viscosity, and thermal conductivity near thermodynamic critical point, heat transfer characteristics show quite different behavior compared with pure forced convection. With flow acceleration along the tube unusual behavior of heat transfer coefficient and friction factor occurs when the fluid enthalpy passes through pseudocritical point of pressure in the tube. There is also a transition behavior from liquid-like phase to gas-like phase in the developing region. Numerical results with constant heat flux boundary conditions are obtained for reduced pressures from 1.09 to 1.99. Graphical results for velocity, temperature, and heat transfer coefficient with Stanton number are presented and analyzed.

Numerical analysis has been carried out to investigate laminar convective heat transfer at zero gravity in a tube for supercritical water near the thermodynamic critical point. Fluid flow and heat transfer are strongly coupled due to large variation of thermodynamic and transport properties such as density, specific heat, viscosity, and thermal conductivity near the critical point. Heat transfer characteristics in the developing region of the tube show transition behavior between liquid-like and gas-like phases with a peak in heat transfer coefficient distribution near the pseudo critical point. The peak of the heat transfer coefficient depends on pressure and wall heat flux rather than inlet temperature and Reynolds number. Results of the modeling provide convective heat transfer characteristics including velocity vectors, temperature, and the properties as well as the heat transfer coefficient. The effect of proximity on the critical point is considered and a heat transfer correlation is suggested for the peak of Nusselt number in the tube.

쉐도우그래프(Shadowgraph) 기법을 통해 케로신의 대체 물질인 데칸/메틸사이클로헥산 혼합연료를 사용하는 단일 제트(jet)를 초임계 환경으로 분사하여 제트의 거동을 가시화하였다. T_r = 0.484인 연료 제트의 분사 차압 ∆P는 0.5 MPa로 일정하게 유지하였고 혼합연료의 임계점 이상에서 실험을 진행하였으며 챔버 내부 환산온도 T_r(=T/T_c)를 1.00~1.23, 환산압력 P_r(=P/P_c)을 1.00, 1.38로 변화하여 실험결과를 분석하였다. 초임계 환경으로 분사되는 제트의 밀도감소 지표로써 후처리 된 제트 이미지의 밝기 강도를 챔버 내부 온도와 압력을 변화시켜 관찰하였다. 챔버 내부 온도가 상승할 때 제트의 밝기 강도 감소 폭이 커지는 것을 확인하였으며, 동일 온도일 때 챔버 내부 압력이 높을 경우 제트의 밝기 강도 감소가 지연되는 것을 확인하였다. 챔버 내부 압력이 높을 경우 연료의 유사 임계온도(pseudocritical temperature)가 증가하고 연료 제트의 밀도감소에 필요한 온도가 상승하여 밝기 강도 변화가 지연되는 근거로 판단하였다.

The heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics associated with the gas cooling of the supercritical carbon dioxide in a horizontal tube have been investigated experimentally. This problem is of particular interest in the design of a gas cooler of cooling systems using $CO_2$refrigerant. The test section is consisted of 6 series of 455 mm in length, 4.15 mm ID copper tube, respectively. The effects of the inlet temperature, pressure and mass flow rate on the heat transfer and pressure drop of $CO_2$in a horizontal tube is studied in detail. The heat transfer coefficient of $CO_2$is varied by temperature, inlet pressure, and mass flow rate of $CO_2$. This has maximum value at near the pseudocritical temperature. The pressure drop is changed by inlet pressure and mass flow rate of $CO_2$. The results have been compared with those of previous work. The heat transfer correlation at the supercritical gas cooling process is also suggested.

본 논문은 수평 마이크로핀관내 초임계 $CO_2$와 PAG 혼합물의 열전달과 압력강하 특성에 대해서 실험적으로 연구한 것이다. $CO_2$와 PAG 혼합물의 열전달계수는 압력이 10 MPa이고, 질량유속은 520 kg/$m^2s$이며, PAG 오일 농도는 0.06~2.26%에서 측정하였다. PAG 오일농도가 0.3%인 경우, $CO_2$와 PAG 혼합물의 열전달계수와 압력강하는 순수 $CO_2$ 냉매의 열전달계수와 동일한 경향을 나타내었다. 그리고 PAG 질량농도가 2.26%인 경우, 초임계 온도근처에서 측정한 열전달계수는 순수 $CO_2$의 열전달계수 보다 약 50%정도 낮게 나타났다. 마찰압력강하는 $60^{\circ}C$의 $CO_2$ 평균온도에서 순수 $CO_2$의 압력강하보다 약 1.6배 더 높게 나타났다.

수평 덕트 내 임계점부근의 유체 유동 및 열전달특성은 중력과 함께 임계영역에서의 열역학 및 전달 물성치의 많은 변화와 직접적으로 연관되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 수평 직사각 덕트 내 임계점부근의 물에 대한 대류열전달특성을 전산해석을 통하여 분석하였다. 이를 통해 국부적인 열전달계수와 유속, 온도, 그리고 물성치분포를 포함한 대류열전달특성에 대해 임계점 근접효과와 함께 비교하였다. 벽으로부터의 열전달에 따른 유체 밀도감소로 덕트 내 유동방향으로의 유속증가와 함께 유체가 액체에서 기체 같은 상태로 천이하는 형태의 유동장특성을 보여준다. 덕트의 윗면, 옆면, 그리고 아래면 각각의 국부적인 열전달계수분포에 큰 차이가 있으며 준임계점 온도부근에서 난류전달특성의 향상으로 열전달계수의 최대치에 이르게 된다. Nu 수는 덕트 내 압력과 종횡비에 영향을 받으며 임계압에 가까워질수록 최대 Nu 수는 급격히 증가하게 된다. 이와 함께 기존의 열전달상관식을 통한 결과와 예측된 Nu 수 분포를 비교하였다.
