The purpose of present work is to analyze the convective heat transfer downstream of mixing vane in subchannel of nuclear reactor with three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. SST model is selected as a turbulence closure by comparing the performances of two different turbulent closures. Three different shapes of mixing vane are tested. And, thermal-hydraulic performances of these vanes are discussed. The results show that twist of the vane improves the heat transfer performance far downstream of the vane.

직경 비가 0.56인 이중동심관에 내외측모두 매끈한 벽면, 벽면 거칠기를 안측, 외측, 그리고 양측 모두의 4경우에 대한 난류 유동과 열전달특성을 실험과 이론으로 연구하였다. 시간평균속도분포, 마찰계수, 그리고 최대 속도 지점과 전단응력이 0인 지점들을 피토튜브와 X형 열선 풍속계로 측정하였다. 이중동심관내에서 4가지 경우에 따른 사각돌출형 거칠기효과가 난류 유동과 열전달에 미치는 영향을 수정난류모델을 기초로 하여 연구하였다. 직경비, 거칠기 위치, 레이놀즈수, 그리고 프란틀수 등의 여러 변수에 의해서 난류 유동과 열전달을 고찰하였다. 본 연구는 전체적 효율 측면에서 유리하게 열전달율을 향상시킬수 있는 거칠기 구조를 밝혔다.

In this study, an analytic model is developed to predict Nusselt numbers for turbulent flow in a rod bundle. Flow channel area is divided into several element channels, and simple algebraic equations of universal velocity and temperature profiles are integrated over each element channel. The integral equations are then added to yield an analytic expression for the nusselt number of a rod bundle. The analytic model reasonably predicts the available heat transfer data.

The turbulent flow and heat transfer in the tunnel laminar flow type clean room is investigated by a numerical simulation. The model clean room is assumed to be a rectngular $5m\times3m$, in which a worktable of 0.75m hight, and 1.5m or 3m long at the floor. Major parameters are the inlet flow velocity, inlet hole size and worktable surface distance. The mean Nusselt number is increased by increasing Reynolds number and can be expressed by the correlation equation.

This paper numerically investigates thermo-flow characteristics of offset strip fins to obtain a correlation between heat transfer and pressure drop. The flow was divided into three regimes, i.e. laminar, transition and turbulent. The predicted j and f values from the SST k-$\omega$ turbulence model agreed with previous correlations with the error less than 20% in transition and turbulent regimes. Heat transfer and pressure drop were predicted by varying Prandtl number from 0.5 to 40. The Prandtl number showed little effects on pressure drop but had great effect on the heat transfer characteristics. An overall correlation to predict j was suggested by incorporating the effect of Pr and a new j correlation was suggested for each Pr.

The present work analyzed the effect of mixing vane shape on the flow structure and heat transfer downstream of mixing vane in a subchannel of fuel assembly, by obtaining velocity and pressure fields, turbulent intensity, flow-mixing factors, heat transfer coefficient and friction factor using three-dimensional RANS analysis. NJl5, NJ25, NJ35, NJ45, which were designed by the authors, were tested to evaluate the performances in enhancing the heat transfer. Standard $\kappa-\epsilon$ model is used as a turbulence closure model, and, periodic and symmetry conditions are set as boundary conditions. The flow blockage ratio is kept constant, but the twist angle of mixing vane is changed. The results with three turbulence models( $\kappa-\epsilon$, $\kappa-\omega$, RSM) were compared with experimental data.

An experimental study on the heat transfer and friction characteristics of a fully developed turbulent air flow in a square channel with $45^{\circ}$ inclined ribs on one, two, and four walls is reported. Tests were performed for Reynolds number ranging from 7,600 to 24,900. The pitch-to-rib height ratio, p/e, was kept at 8 and rib height-to-channel hydraulic diameter ratio, $e/D_h$, was kept at 0.0667. The heat transfer coefficient and friction factor values were enhanced with the increase in the number of ribbed walls. Results of this investigation could be used in various applications of internal channel turbulent flows involving different number of roughened walls.

This paper is concerned with the prediction of two dimensional turbulent flows in the parallel plate with the repeated cylindrical blockages. The purpose of this paper is to find the effect of the eccentricity and the pitch of the repeated cylindrical blockages on the flow field, heat transfer coefficients and friction factors. A special technique is developed for the solution of the fully developed turbulent recirculating flow, in which the flow field varies periodically. A non-othogonal coordinate transformation is employed to solve the momentum and the energy equations. The results show that the pitch ratio or the eccentricity of the repeated blockages become smaller, or the Reynolds number of the flow larger, friction factors and heat transfer coefficients increase.
