The study of swirling flow is of technical and scientific interest because it has an internal recirculation field, and its tangential velocity is related to the curvature of streamline. The fluid flow for tubes and elbow of heat exchangers has been studied largely through experiments and numerical methods, but studies about swirling flow have been insufficient. Using the particle image velocimetry(PTV) method, this study found the time averaged velocity distribution with swirl and without swirl along longitude sections and the results appear to be physically reasonable. In addition, streamwise mean velocity distribution was compares with that of other. Furthermore, other experimental investigation was performed to study the characteristics of turbulent water flow in a horizontal circular tube by using liquid crystal. 2D PIV technique is employed for velocity measurement and liquid crystal is used for heat transfer experiments in water. Temperature visualization was made quantitatively by calibrating the colour of the liquid crystal versus temperature using various approaches.

Experimental results for pressure gradient of HCs refrigerants R-290. R-600a. R-1270 and HCFC refrigerant R-22 during condensing inside horizontal double pipe heat exchangers are presented. The test sections which have the tube inner diameter of 10.98mm. and the tube inner diameter of 8mm are used for this investigation. Hydrocarbon refrigerants have higher pressure drop than R-22 in both test sections with the diameters of 12.70mm and 9.52mm. Pressure drop increased with the increase of the mass flux. These results form the investigation can be used in the design of heat transfer exchanger using hydrocarbons as the refrigerant for the air-conditioning systems

Gasoline engine manufacturers are currently considering designs that will result in low combustion air temperature for improvement of fuel consumption and emission levels. There are a variety of cooling systems that can be used to accomplish this goal. Cooling is therefore normally achieved through a balance of ram and fan action. This paper studies the various systems and compare the cooling performance for several conditions, based on a automotive engine. An experimental analysis was developed to predict the interaction of the fan system and the heat exchangers of the engine cooling system. The local temperature induced by the fan on the cooling system is measured. These experimental result were accomplished using airflow management techniques.

This paper presents modelling and analyzing method of centrifugal chiller which has a rated capacity of 200 RT(703 kW) through on-site performance test. Field data of chiller installed in the clean-room building of KIST have been collected, Simple models were developed for predicting the heat exchangers and system performances by regression of chiller operation data during 5 days in August. The models proposed here account for the effect of variations of cooling capacity, temperatures and flow rates of secondary fluids. The models are consistent with real performance data from June to September within ${\pm}5%$ error. The COP of centrifugal chiller are estimated under the standard rating conditions and reduced mass flow rate of chilled and cooling water.

The effect of external recycle on the performance of dialysis in countercurrent-flow rectangular membrane modules was investigated both theoretically and experimentally. Theoretical analysis of mass transfer in parallel-flow device with and without recycle is analogous to heat transfer in parallel-flow heat exchangers. Experiments were carried out with the use of a microporous membrane to dialyze urea aqueous solution by pure water. In contrast to a device with recycle, improvement in mass transfer is achievable if parallel-flow dialysis is operated in a device of same size with recycle which provides the increase of fluid velocity, resulting in reduction of mass-transfer resistance, especially for rather low feed volume rate.

본 연구에서는 판형열교환기를 적용한 청수제조장치의 성능에 대하여 연구를 수행하였다. 판형열교환기는 자체의 높은 열전달 성능과 컴펙트한 장점으로 하여 산업에서 점차 널리 사용되고 있다. 또한 사용, 유지보수가 다른 종류의 열교환기에 비하여 편리하여 유연성 있게 사용할 수 있다. 본 실험에서는 세브론 각도가 60도인 전열판을 사용하였으며 이젝터의 작동으로 열교환기를 장착하고 있는 탱크내부에 진공압력을 유지함으로서 내부유체가 $51^{\circ}C{\sim}57^{\circ}C$에서 증발현상이 발생하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 수치해석적 방법을 통하여 복잡하며 좁은 세브론전열판으로 이루어진 유로내의 유동특성을 파악할 수 있었다.

The internal reflux effect on dialysis through the retentate phase of a countercurrently cross-flow rectangular module is investigated. Theoretical analysis of mass transfer in cross-flow devices with or without recycling is analogous to heat transfer in cross-flow heat exchangers. In contrast to a device without reflux, considerable mass transfer is achievable if cross-flow dialyzers are operated with reflux, which provides an increase in fluid velocity, resulting in a reduction in mass-transfer resistance. It is concluded that reflux can enhance mass transfer, especially for large flow rate and feed-concentration operated under high reflux ratio.

Typically, condensate forms as droplets on the fin surfaces and may bridge the space between the fin surfaces. This is due to the dry characteristics inherent to the fin surface. The droplets increase the air-side pressure drop. In the case of high air velocities, these droplets may be blown off the fins and entrained in the air stream. To minimize the formation of condensate droplet, the wet ability of the fins must be improved. The carry-over velocity is affected by fin surface characteristics. To avoid carry-over in the air conditioner having the highest air velocity of 1.5 m/sec, the dynamic contact angle (DCA) should be at least lowly under $60^{\circ}$.

This paper studies the possibility of applying the EIT(Electrical Impedance Tomography) technique for investigating the formation and movement of dispersed phase droplets as they stream through a Direct Contact Heat Exchanger(DCHX). In most direct contact liquid-liquid heat exchangers, oil or hydro-carbon with a density different (lighter or heavier) from water is normally used as dispersed working fluid. The main difficulty that arises with arrangement lies in the extraction of performance parameters and visualization of dispersed phase fluids if required. In order to delve into these problems, this paper introduces a number of cases regarding the operation and principle of DCHXs and investigates the possibility of applying the EIT technique whose results are given for several examples.

This study describes energy and exergy analysis of the Maeeum-Ri Geothermal District Heating System(MGDHS) of Ganghwa Island, Incheon, Korea. Design data are used to assess the performance of the geothermal district heating system. Geothermal resources of MGDHS are found to be low quality with specific exergy index of 0.029. Exergy losses occur in the pumps and heat exchangers as well as in the geothermal Quid and direct discharge. As a result, the total exergy losses accounts for 5.2% in pumps, 47% in the discharge, and 3.3% in heat exchanger based on the total exergy input to the entire MGDHS. The overall energy and exergy efficiencies of the system are found to be 28.8% and 44.5%, respectively.
