Liquid film thickness in laminar film condensation for flow over a flat plate generally is so thin that both fluid acceleration and thermal convection within the liquid film can be neglected. An integral solution method is proposed to solve the conjugate problems of laminar film condensation and heat conduction in a solid wall. It is found that approximate solutions of the governing equations involve four physical parameters to describe the conjugate heat transfer problem for laminar film condensation. It is shown that the effects of interfacial shear. mass transfer and local heat transfer are strongly dependent on the thermo-physical properties of the working fluids and the Jacob number.

The heat and mass transfer process between the falling liquid desiccant(TEG) film and the air in counter flow at the dehumidifier of desiccant cooling system were investigated. The governing equations with appropriate boundary and interfacial conditions describing the physical problems were solved by numerical analysis. As a result, the effects of the design parameters and the outside air conditions on the rates of dehumidification and sensible cooling were discussed. The results of the dehumidification and sensible cooling rates were compared with those of the cross flow at the same conditions.

The heat and mass transfer characteristics of the unsteady hydromagnetic natural convection flow with Hall current and Soret effect of an incompressible, viscous, electrically conducting, heat absorbing and optically thin radiating fluid flow past a suddenly started vertical infinite plate through fluid saturated porous medium in a rotating environment are taken into account in this paper. Derivations of exact analytical solutions are aimed under different physical properties. The velocity, concentration and temperature profiles, Sherwood number and Nusselt number are easily examined and discussed via the closed forms obtained. Soret effect and permeability parameter tends to accelerate primary and secondary fluid velocities whereas hall current, radiation and heat absorption have reverse effect on it. Radiation and heat absorption have tendency to enhance rate of heat transfer at the plate. The results obtained here may be further used to verify the validity of obtained numerical solutions for more complicated transient free convection fluid flow problems.

An immersed boundary method for solving the Navier-Stokes and thermal energy equations is developed to compute the heat transfer over or inside the complex geometries in the Cartesian or cylindrical coordinates by introducing the momentum forcing, mass source/sink, and heat source/sink. The present method is based on the finite volume approach on a staggered mesh together with a fractional step method. The method of applying the momentum forcing and mass source/sink to satisfy the no-slip condition on the body surface is explained in detail in Kim, Kim and Choi (2001, Journal of Computational Physics). In this paper, the heat source/sink is introduced on the body surface or inside the body to satisfy the iso-thermal or iso-heat-flux condition on the immersed boundary. The present method is applied to three different problems : forced convection around a circular cylinder, mixed convection around a pair of circular cylinders, and forced convection around a main cylinder with a secondary small cylinder. The results show good agreements with those obtained by previous experiments and numerical simulations, verifying the accuracy of the present method.

Pepper is considered as one of main crops not only in the agricultural production but also in farmer's income. Red-pepper is much consumed by Koreans everyday in the form of powder, but its processing processes such as drying and grinding cause many problems. Consequently, it is required to improve the quality of red-pepper powder for high dietary life. This study was conducted to investigate the heat and mass transfer characteristics of red-pepper powder by convection and radiation conditioning. Physical and thermal properties such as specific heat, thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity were also determined in terms of moisture content of the powder.

A numerical procedure for the analysis of transient behavior in a monolithic catalytic converter is presented. The thermal behavior of a monolithic catalytic converter is fully coupled with mass transfer and exothermic reaction between exhaust gases and the catalytic converter. In the present study, all these processes are solved simultaneously. The heat transfer process is approximated by combinging one dimensional convection and conduction and the chemical reaction is also simply modelled by using the concepts of reaction rate and reaction heat. All the partial diffenrential equations for the heat transfer, mass transfer and chemical reactions are appximated by using finite volume method. Resulting algebraic equations are solved using the Newton's method. To see the workability of present numerical method, two well known problems, say step increase and step decrease in the gas inlet temperature, have been calculated. Comparion of present solutions with previous solutions shows a good agreement.

In this study the reactor design procedure and method of solid-solid-gas chemical heat pump system using STELF technology were investigated. For manufacturing IMPEX block which is the kernel of reactor, proper salt pair should be selected, and equilibrium temperature drop and COP should be examined for selected salt pair. Moreover, apparent density, residual porosity, and graphite ratio should be calculated to give minimum block volume and mass, and maximum energy density without causing heat and mass transfer problems. Since heat exchange area can be changed with operating condition, reactor diameter, length, and stainless steel thickness should be decided for desired specifications. These procedure and method were applied to the case study of 6kW cold production and 8 hours storage capacity reactor.

Fire characteristics can be analyzed more realistically by using more accurate properties related to the fire dynamics and one way to acquire these fire properties is to use one of the inverse property estimation techniques. In this study two optimization algorithms which are frequently applied for the inverse heat transfer problems are selected to demonstrate the procedure of obtaining pyrolysis properties of charring material with relatively simple thermal decomposition. Thermal decomposition is occurred at the surface of the charring material heated by receiving the radiative energy from external heat sources and in this process the heat transfer through the charring material is simplified by an unsteady 1-dimensional problem. The basic genetic algorithm(GA) and repulsive particle swarm optimization(RPSO) algorithm are used to find the eight properties of a charring material; thermal conductivity(virgin, char), specific heat(virgin, char), char density, heat of pyrolysis, pre-exponential factor and activation energy by using the surface temperature and mass loss rate history data which are obtained from the calculated experiments. Results show that the RPSO algorithm has better performance in estimating the eight pyrolysis properties than the basic GA for problems considered in this study.

High water vapour content in air can cause a number of problems as for human or surrounding materials. For human a high water vapour can create physiological stress, discomfort, and also can encourage ill health. While, the cause for the environment is can accelerate the corrosion of metals, accelerate the growth of spores and mould, can reduce the electrical resistance of insulators and etc. Desiccant systems have been proposed as energy saving alternatives to vapor compression air conditioning for handling especially the latent load and also sensible load. Use of liquid desiccants offers several design and performance advantages over solid desiccants, especially when solar energy is used for regeneration. The liquid desiccants contact the gas inside the packed tower of liquid desiccant solar cooling system and the heat transfer and mass transfer will occur. This thesis is trying to study the characteristics inside the packed tower of dehumidifier systems. This characteristics consist of mass transfer rate, heat transfers rate, human comfort and energy that consume by the system. Those characteristics were affected by air flow rates, air temperature and humidity, and desiccant temperature and all that variation will influence the performance of the systems. The results of this thesis later on can be used to determine the best performance of the systems.

본 연구에서는 단열재 두께에 따른 소형발사체 공통격벽 추진제 탱크의 단열 성능을 분석하였다. 단일 파트로 이루어진 공통격벽 추진제 탱크는 탱크 연결부가 불필요하여 추진제 탱크의 경량화 설계가 가능하다. 그러나 산화제와 연료의 온도차로 인한 열전달에 의하여 추진제의 손실과 점화 지연 등의 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 산화제 탱크와 연료 탱크를 구분하는 공통격벽 구조의 단열 성능 확인이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 기화 질량(boil- off mass)을 이용한 단열 성능 분석을 위하여 단열재 두께가 50, 55, 60, 65, 70 mm인 추진제 탱크에 대해 과도 열전달 해석을 수행하였다. 이어서 추진제 탱크의 1단 비행시간 동안 발생하는 산화제의 기화 질량을 도출하였다. 그 결과, 단열재 두께가 증가할수록 기화 질량이 감소하여 단열 성능이 향상되었다.
