We have performed experiments to enhance the stratification in a storage tank in order to raise the collector efficiency and solar fraction in solar thermal systems. The storage tank with a spiral jacket in the side wall has a scroll-shaped heat exchanger coil added to the upper part. The performance was compared between only the side and upper-side heating part through simulation using TRNSYS under the same weather conditions and initial conditions. As a result, the upper-side heating has a 4.2% advantage in solar fraction, but almost no increase in collector efficiency.

최근 들어 경제적인 에너지 활용을 위하여 지열에너지 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 특히 보편적으로 사용되고 있는 U자형 지중열교환기보다 열교환 면적이 넓어 더 높은 열 교환 효율을 보이는 코일형 지중열교환기의 적용이 확대되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 피치 간격에 따른 코일형 지중열교환기의 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. $5m{\times}1m{\times}1m$ 크기의 모형 토조 내에 주문진 모래가 균질하게 조성되었으며 열응답 시험이 수행되었다. 코일형 지중열교환기 내를 순환하는 순환수 온도값을 이용하여 선형 열원 이론과 고리-코일 열원 모델을 적용하여 지반의 열전도도를 도출하였다. 또한 모형 토조 내의 코일에서 일정한 거리의 계측 온도값과 이론해를 비교하였으며 고리-코일 열원 모델이 선형 열원 모델과 원통형 열원 모델보다 코일형 지중열교환기가 설치된 지반의 온도값을 보다 정확하게 예측함을 알 수 있다.

The accurate measurement of temperature in the ground source heat pump system is crucial for assessing the thermal response of the system and validating the numerical model for parametric study, which is necessary for the thermal performance evaluation of the geothermal energy system. Conventional temperature sensors have some disadvantages such as they are difficult to install, and their position can be shifted during the backfill process of the ground heat exchanger. In this study, Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors were used to measure the temperature change of a recently developed ground heat exchanger (Coil Column Unit, CCU). FBG sensors were first calibrated in a thermal chamber alongside a correlation sensor (RTD sensor). The calibrated sensors were then mounted on the pipe surface at each spiral of the CCU to measure how temperature changes during the in-door mockup thermal response test. Finally, the measurement results of the FBG sensors were verified with a finite element coded program. The results indicated that the temperature difference between the numerical analysis and the experiment was less than 1%, which is significantly lower than that of the previous study using the RTD sensors. Therefore, it is feasible to apply FBG sensors for temperature measurement during the operation of the TRT of the geothermal energy system.

최근 들어 경제적이고 친환경적인 에너지 활용을 위하여 지열에너지 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 수평형 지중 열교환기는 설치 비용이 저렴하여 비용 대비 효율면에서 우수하다. 수평형 지중 열교환기의 타입에는 여러 가지가 있으나 이 중 슬링키형과 코일형이 우수한 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 $5m{\times}1m{\times}1m$ 크기의 모형 토조내에 수평 슬링키형과 코일형 지중 열교환기를 각각 설치한 후 열교환율을 실험적으로 측정하였다. 모형 토조 내에는 건조 상태의 주문진 모래가 조성되었으며 수평 슬링키형과 코일형의 피치 간격에 따라 열교환율을 측정하기 위해 30시간 동안 연속으로 열응답 시험을 실시하였다. 실험 결과 코일형 지중 열교환기 이용시 수평 슬링키형 보다 약 30, 40% 정도의 높은 파이프 단위 길이당 열교환율을 보였다. 또한 수평 슬링키형과 코일형 이용시 피치 간격이 넓을 때(피치/직경 = 1)가 좁을 때(피치/직경 = 0.2)보다 약 200, 250% 정도의 높은 파이프 단위 길이당 열교환율을 나타냈다.

Heat transfer and pressure drop for single phase flow of water in circular smooth and micro-fin tubes are measured. Copper tubes of 9.52 and 7mm outer diameter were used. The internal roughness in micro-fin tubes was formed by spiral grooves having $25^{\circ}$ helx angle, 0. 12mm fin height and 0.454mm pitch in 9.52mm tubes; $18^{\circ}$ helix angle, 0.15mm fin height and 0.322mm pitch in 7mm tubes. The measured friction factor and heat transfer coefficient are compared with relevant previous works, and the correlations for micro-fin tube are developed.

As an innovative effort to secure economically viable heat recovery system, various fin shapes for industrial fin-tube heat exchangers have been studied for better performance. In this study, the waste gas heat recovery from four different fin shapes was experimentally performed for heat transfer rate and pressure drop. According to the tested results, the twist and wavy shape fins of rectangular type show the superior performance in terms of Goodness factor and jH/f factor ratio, whereas the circular spiral fin shows the inferior values. Experimental results shows good comparison with the numerical results with a slight discrepancy of 5%, which is quite resonable.

Swirling flows are related to the spiral motion in the tangential direction in addition to the axial and radial direction using several swirl generators. These type of flows are used in combustion chambers to improve flame stability, heat exchanger to enhance heat transfer coefficients, agricultural spraying machines and some vertical pipes to move slurries or transport of materials. However, only a few studies three dimensional velocity profiles in a vertical pipe have been reported. In this present paper, 3 dimension particle image velocimetry(PIV) technique was employed to measure the velocity profiles in water along a vertical circular pipe with Reynolds number from 6000 to 13,000. A tangential inlet condition was used as the swirl generator to produce the required flow. The velocities were measured with swirling flow in the water along the test section using the PIV technique.

An algebraic scroll expander has been fabricated and tested in a R134a Rankine cycle with heat source of 20 kW. For the operating conditions of 20~26 bar and $90{\sim}93^{\circ}C$ at the expander inlet and 8~9 bar at the outlet, the expander produced the shaft output power of about 0.6~0.7 kW in the operating speed range of 1500~2000 rpm. These correspond to the expander efficiency of 40~45%. The volumetric efficiency increased with increasing of the expander speed, reaching to 80% at 2000 rpm. Comparing to numerical simulation results, mechanical efficiency from the test data was found to be considerably low by as much as 30%, indicating that reduction in the frictional loss should be made to improve the scroll expander efficiency.
