We investigate the effects of solutal convection on the crystal growth rate in a horizontal configuration for diffusive-convection conditions and purely diffusion conditions achievable in a low gravity environment for a nonlinear thermal gradient. It is concluded that the solutally-driven convection due to the disparity in the molecular weights of the component A $(Hg_2Br_2)$ and B (CO) is stronger than thermally-driven convection for both the nonlinear and the linear thermal profiles, corresponding to $Gr_t= 8.5{\times}10^3,\; Gr_s = 1.05{\times}10^5$. For both solutal and thermal convection processes, the growth rates for the linear thermal profile (conducting walls) are greater than for the nonlinear case. With the temperature humps, there are found to be observed in undersaturation for diffusive-convection processes ranging from $D_{AB}$ = 0.087 to 0.87. For the vertical configurations, the diffusion mode is so much dominated that the growth rate and interfacial distribution is nearly regardless of the gravitational accelerations. Also, the diffusion mode is predominant over the convection for the gravity levels less than 0.1 $g_0$ for the horizontally oriented configuration.

The most numerical investigations of the thermal-hydraulic phenomena following the loss of the residual heat removal capability during the mid-loop operation of the pressurized water reactor were performed according to simplifications and are not sufficiently accurate. To perform more accurate and more reliable predictions of thermal-hydraulic accidents in a nuclear power plant using computational fluid dynamics codes, a more detailed methodology is needed. Modelling results identified that thermal stratification and natural convection are observed. Temperatures of lower monitoring points remain low, while temperatures of upper monitoring points increase over time. The water in the heated region, in the upper unheated region and the pipe region was well mixed due to natural convection, meanwhile, there is no natural convection in the lower unheated region. Water temperature in the pipe region increased after a certain time delay due to circulation of flow induced by natural convection in the heated and upper unheated regions. The modelling results correspond to the experimental data. The developed computational fluid dynamics methodology could be applied for modelling of two-component single/two-phase natural convection and thermal stratification phenomena during the mid-loop operation of the pressurized water reactor or other nuclear and non-nuclear installations at similar conditions.

This study of thermal convection uses the following geometry: a horizontal layer of fluid heated from below of solid lid at bottom and cooled from above. A variety range of thermal conductivity ratio, $\kappa$ is considered to investigate the interface temperature, $\theta_{i}$ between solid and fluid region. Periodic boundary conditions are employed in the horizontal direction to allow for lateral freedom for the convection cells. A two-dimensional solution for unsteady natural convection is obtained, using an accurate and efficient Chebyshev spectral multi-domain methodology, for different effective Rayleigh numbers, $Ra_{eff}$ varying over the range of $10^{4}\;to\;10^{7}$ in which the effective Rayleigh number is defined as $Ra{\times}<\overline{T}_{i}>$.

Thermal shock behavior of alumina ceramics were studied by quenching the heated alumina specimen into the water of various temperatures over 0~10$0^{\circ}C$. The critical thermal shock temperature difference ( Tc) of the specimen decreased almost linearly from 275$^{\circ}C$ to 20$0^{\circ}C$ with increase in the cooling water temperature over 0~6$0^{\circ}C$. It is probably due to the increase of the maximum cooling rate which is dependent of the convection heat transfer coefficient. The convection heat transfer coefficient is a function of the temperature of the cooling water. However, the critical thermal shock temperature difference( Tc) of the specimen increased at 25$0^{\circ}C$ over 80~10$0^{\circ}C$ due to the film boiling of the cooling water. The maximum cooling rate, which brings about the maximum thermal stress of the specimen in the cooling process, was observed to increase linearly with the increase in the quenching temperature difference of the specimen due to the linear relationship of the convection heat transfer coefficient with the water temperature over 0~6$0^{\circ}C$. The critical maximum cooling rate for thermal shock fracture was observed almost constant to be about 260$\pm$1$0^{\circ}C$/s for all water temperatures over 0~6$0^{\circ}C$. Therefore, thermal shock behavior of alumina ceramics is greatly influenced by the convection heat transfer coefficient of the cooling water.

소방용 특수방화복의 열보호 성능 평가를 위해 대류와 복사 열원을 이용한 시험방법을 비교하였다. 특히 특수방화복을 구성하는 겉감, 중간층, 안감이 각각 열보호 성능에 미치는 영향을 대류와 복사 열원에 대해 비교하였다. 대류 열원에 대한 열보호 성능시험은 KS K ISO 9151, 복사 열원에 대한 시험은 KS K ISO 6942 그리고 대류와 복사열원을 함께 사용하는 시험은 KS K ISO 17492의 방법에 따라 수행하였다. 같은 입사 열유속 조건($80kW/m^2$)에서 시험했을 때 대류 열원에 비해 복사 열원에 대한 열전달지수($t_{12}$, $t_{24}$) 값이 보다 크게 나왔다. 이는 대류에 비해 복사에 의한 영향이 느리게 나타났음을 의미한다. 대류 열원에 대해서는 안감이 열보호 성능에 가장 크게 영향을 미쳤고 이어서 중간층, 겉감 순서였다. 그러나 복사 열원에 대해서는 안감, 겉감, 중간층 순서로 열보호 성능에 미치는 영향이 컸다. 대류와 복사는 열전달 메카니즘이 근본적으로 다르며, 열원이 달라지면 재질 구성에 따라 열보호 성능 결과가 다르게 나올 수 있다. 따라서 특수방화복의 열보호 성능을 평가하기 위해서는 대류 열원 뿐만 아니라 복사 열원에 대한 시험도 중요함을 확인하였다.

Recent research on nanofluids under forced convection experiment shows that there is little relationship between convective heat transfer and thermal conductivity increase of nanofluids. This kind of new findings are totally different from the traditional theory of nanofluids, which says that the higher thermal conductivity is a prerequisite for convective heat transfer enhancement. To elucidate this controversial issue in a very comprehensible manner, simple natural convection experiment has been carried out for the water- and oil-based nanofluids. ($water-Al_2O_3$, transformer $oil-Al_2O_3$) Present research shows that there exists strong dependence between natural convection performance and thermal conductivity increase of nanofluids.

This paper has been made to investigate the thermal performance characteristics for the several types of heat sinks such as extruded heat sink, aluminum foam heat sink, layered heat sink. The various types heat sinks are prepared and tested for natural convection as well as forced convection. The experimental results for natural convection are compared to those for three types of heat sink so that the appropriate heat sink can be designed or chosen according to the heating conditions. The overall heat transfer performances for layered heat sink, extruded heat sink and aluminum foam heat sink are almost comparable to those under natural convection and forced convection. The forced convection of layered heat sink become 1.2 times as high as those of extruded heat sink, and the forced convection of extruded heat sink become 1.2 times as high as those of aluminum foam heat sink. This study shows that bar height, bar distance and number of bar for layered heat sink are important parameters, which have a serious influence on thermal performance for layered heat sinks.

지반의 열적 거동은 대부분 열전도에 국한되어 연구가 진행되었으며, 자연대류 현상에 대한 연구는 매우 미비한 실정이다. 지반의 온도증가는 간극수의 밀도변화에 따른 부력을 유발하여 자연대류를 발생시키게 된다. 유체역학 관점에서 다공질 재료내의 자연대류 해석의 제약조건에 대하여 논의하고, 거시적 관점에서 완전 결합된 열-수리-역학적인 지배방정식을 이용한 대류현상에 대한 수치해석 기법을 제시하였다. 실내 열전도도 측정을 위한 탐침기 실험에 대한 수치실험은 자연대류를 무시하고 평가된 열전도도의 불확실성에 대하여 논의하고, 모델식과의 오류를 최소화하기 위한 적정한 실험조건을 제시하였다. 해저 전력선의 매설은 해저면 0.2m 깊이에서의 온도상승을 $2^{\circ}C$로 제한하고 있으나, 투수성이 큰 지반재료에 대한 수치해석결과는 기준온도를 초과하는 것으로 나타났다. 해저면의 온도와 열-수리-역학적 물성은 전력선의 매설설계에 중요한 설계인자이며 자연대류의 영향을 고려하여야 한다. 특히, 큰 투수성을 갖는 지반내에 열원이 존재하는 경우, 간극수의 밀도변화에 따른 자연대류가 중요한 열전달의 인자가 되므로 이를 고려한 해석을 수행하여야 한다.

Evaluation of the elliptic blending turbulence model (EBM) together with the two-layer model, shear stress transport (SST) model and elliptic relaxation model (V2-F) is performed for a better prediction of natural convection and thermal stratification. For a natural convection problem the models are applied to the prediction of a natural convection in a rectangular cavity and the computed results are compared with the experimental data. It is shown that the elliptic blending model predicts as good as or better than the existing second moment differential stress and flux model for the mean velocity and turbulent quantities. For thermal stratification problem the models are applied to the thermal stratification in the upper plenum of liquid metal reactor. In this analysis there exist much differences between the turbulence models in predicting the temporal variation of temperature. The V2-F model and EBM better predict the steep gradient of temperature at the interface of thermal stratification, and the V2-F model and EBM predict properly the oscillation of temperature. The two-layer model and SST model fail to predict the temporal oscillation of temperature.

The thermal response of electronic assemblies during forced convection-infrared reflow soldering is studied. Soldering for attaching electronic components to printed circuit boards is performed in a process oven that is equipped with porous panel heaters, through which air is injected in order to dampen temperature fluctuations in the oven which can be established by thermal buoyancy forces. Forced convection-infrared reflow soldering process with air injection is simulated using a 2-dimensional numerical model. The multimode heat transfer within the reflow oven as well as within the electronic assembly is simulated. Parametric study is also performed to study the effects of various conditions such as conveyor speed, blowing velocity, and electronic assembly emissivity on the thermal response of electronic assemblies. The results of this study can be used in the process oven design and selecting the oven operating conditions to ensure proper solder melting and solidification.
