Under the assumption that thermal conductivity of the fin is constant and the conditions ate steady state, effects of non-constant and thermally asymmetric root temperature and unequal surrounding convection coefficients of the fin on the heat loss from a fin of rectangular profile are investigated. The heat loss form a rectangular fin becomes maximum when the highest root temperature deviates from the fin center to the fin side which has a higher convection coefficient as surrounding convection coefficients of the fin increase and as the difference between the convection coefficient of fin top side and that of fin bottom side increases.

Most of the previous studies on natural convection were based on the numerical analysis, and some experimental studies considered the classic case of thermal convection. In this study, an adiabatic square body was located at the center of an enclosure between the bottom hot and top cold walls. And the measurement of the detailed temperature fields was conducted by the method of two-color Laser Induced Fluorescence using a Nd:Yag laser. As a result, heat transfer characteristics of natural convection with an adiabatic body was estimated as a function of time over a range of Rayleigh numbers.

This study Is concerned with properties of a thermal convection in a stably stratified Boussinesq fluid caused by partial heating at the lower boundary. For thins purpose, two-dimensional, nonrotating system was employed. U the heating is very strong, convection takes the form of a turbulent plume. Othenuse, remains laminar. If the partial heating at the bottom boundary Is symmetric. the convection takes the form of a trubuient plume. Otherwise remains but beating form Is not so signiacant as to alter the vergence in the lower layer at the center of the partial heating area. The temperature perturbation is characterized by the temperature 'Cross-Over' over the partial heating area. These features are cleared ac- cording to the Increase of temperature difference between the center and side part of the bottom boundary.

본 연구는 자연대류상의 할로우 하이브리드 휜 히트싱크 (HHFHS) 의 열성능에 대한 방향 영향의 전산연구결과에 대해 논한다. HHFHS 는 휜 베이스 근처에 천공을 포함하는 중공 핀 휜과 판 휜의 결합형 휜들의 배열로 구성된다. HHFHS의 베이스면적기반, 질량기반 열성능에 대한 방향영향이 0 ~ 180도의 방향각에 대해서 수치적으로 연구되었고, 유사구조의 핀 휜 히트싱크 (PFHS) 와 비교되었다. PFHS 와 달리 HHFHS 의 열저항은 직립상태에서 45도까지 변화가 미미하며, 이후 증가하여 90도에서 최대이며, 이후로는 180도까지 감소함을 보인다. 이러한 열저항 특성의 차이는 HHFHS의 중공 휜의 내부유동에 의한 열펌핑 효과의 영향으로 사료된다. 다양한 방향각에도 HHFHS 의 질량기반 열저항은 약 30% 정도 PFHS 보다 작음을 보여주는데 이 결과는 자연대류 상의 전자장치에 대한 HHFHS 의 경량열관리 적용 가능성을 보여준다.

The effect of variable viscosity on MHD mixed convection Hiemenz flow over a thermally stratified porous wedge plate has been studied in the presence of suction or injection. The wall of the wedge is embedded in a uniform Darcian porous medium in order to allow for possible fluid wall suction or injection and has a power-law variation of the wall temperature. An approximate numerical solution for the steady laminar boundary-layer flow over a wall of the wedge in the presence of thermal diffusion has been obtained by solving the governing equations using numerical technique. The fluid is assumed to be viscous and incompressible. Numerical calculations are carried out for different values of dimensionless parameters and an analysis of the results obtained shows that the flow field is influenced appreciably by the magnetic effect, variable viscosity, thermal stratification and suction / injection at wall surface. Effects of these major parameters on the transport behaviors are investigated methodically and typical results are illustrated to reveal the tendency of the solutions. Comparisons with previously published works are performed and excellent agreement between the results is obtained.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the cooling performance of heat sinks for an electronic telecommunication system by adequate natural convection. Heat generation rates of electronic components and the temperature distributions of heat sinks and surrounding air are analyzed experimentally and numerically. In order to perform the heat transfer analysis for the thermal design of telecommunication system a program is developed. The program used the graphic user interface environment to determine the arrangement of heat sources, interior fan capacity, and heat sink configuration. The simulation results showed that the heat sinks were able to achieve a cooling capacity of up to 230W at the maximum temperature difference of $19^{\circ}C$. To verify the results from the numerical simulation, an experiment was conducted under the same condition as the numerical simulation, and their results were compared. The design program gave good prediction of the effects of various parameters involved in the design of a heat sinks for an electronic telecommunication system.

Conjugate heat transfer from a heat generating module ($31{\times}31{\times}7mm^3$) bonded through the module support on the floor of a parallel-plate channel(20mm high, 400mm wide, and 800mm long) to mixed convective air flow(0.2${\sim}$0.9m/s) is studied experimentally. The input power to the module is changed in a range 1.0${\sim}$4.5W, the floor thickness 0.2${\sim}$5mm, and the thermal resistance of module support, Rc:=0.06, 1.03 and 82.0K/W. Thermal conductance(Uc) of the board and convective thermal conductance($U_A$) from the module were derived, and the effect of V; Rc and t on Uc was investigated. It is found that the conjugate conductance (Uc) and the conductive heat transfer ratio ($Q_B$/Q) depend on the thermal resistance of the module support, the air velocity and the board thickness. The change of the module support resistance and the board thickness helps to elucidate the relative significance of heat transfer paths through the module support, the board, and from the board surface to the air. Additional information is investigated about the dependence of the heat transfer rate on the mixed convection parameter.

Numerical analysis was peformed for the two-dimensional turbulent natural convection for a long horizontal line with different end temperatures. The turbulent model has been applied a standard k-$\varepsilon$ two equation model of turbulence similar to that the proposed by the Launder and Spalding. The dimensionless governing equations are solved by using SIMPLE (Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure Linked Equations) algorithm which is developed using control volumes and staggered grids. The numerical results are verified by comparison with the operating PWR test data. The analysis focuses on the effects of variation of the heat transfer rates at the pipe surface, the thermal conductivities of the pipe material and the thickness of the pipe wall on the thermal stratification. The results show that the heat transfer rate at the pipe surface is the controlling parameter for mitigating of thermal stratification in the long horizontal pipe. A significant reduction and disappearance of the thermal stratification phenomenon is observed at the Biot number of 4.82$\times$10$^{-1}$ . The results also show that the increment of the thermal conductivity and thickness of the wall weakens a little the thermal stratification and somewhat reduces temperature gradient of y-direction in the pipe wall. These effects are however minor, when compared with those due to the variation of the heat transfer rates at the surface of the pipe wall.

In various small modular reactor (SMR) designs currently under development, the conventional concrete containment building has been replaced by a metal containment vessel (MCV). In these systems, the gap between the MCV and the reactor pressure vessel is filled with gas or vacuumed weakly, effectively suppressing conduction and convection heat transfer. However, thermal radiation remains the major mode of heat transfer during normal operation. The objective of this study was to investigate the heat-transfer mechanisms in integral pressurized water reactor (IPWR)-type SMRs under various gas-filled conditions using computational fluid dynamics. The use of thermal radiation shielding (TRS) with a much lower emissivity material than the MCV surface was also evaluated. The results showed that thermal radiation was always the dominant contributor to heat loss (48-97%), while the conjugated effects of the gas candidates on natural convection and thermal radiation varied depending on their thermal and radiative properties, including absorption coefficient. The TRS showed an excellent insulation performance, with a reduction in the total heat loss of 56-70% under the relatively low temperatures of the IPWR system, except for carbon dioxide (13%). Consequently, TRS can be utilized to enhance the thermal efficiency of SMR designs by suppressing the heat loss through the MCV.
