A ground source heat pump (GSHP) system is recommended as a heating and cooling system to solve the pending energy problem in the field of air conditioning, because it has the highest efficiency. However, higher initial construction cost works as a barrier to the promotion and dissemination of GSHP system. In this study, numerical analysis on the characteristics of high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe with spiral inside was executed. The heat transfer and flow characteristics of it were compared with those of a conventional smooth HDPE pipe. The heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop of the spiral HDPE pipe were higher than those of the smooth HDPE pipes at the same fluid flow rate. By decreasing the flow rate, the spiral HDPE pipe represented similar values of heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop to the smooth HDPE pipe. The lower flow rate of the spiral HDPE pipe comparing with it of the smooth HDPE pipe is estimated to reduce the length of the ground loop heat exchanger.

The effects of longitudinal heat conduction on the performance of heat transfer surfaces are investigated by using a single-blow method. In the transient testing method for determining the heat transfer characteristics, exponential inlet temperature variations are made by using screen-mesh heater with small time constant and low frontal velocities of the test section, and the experimentally determined inlet temperature profile is used as the inlet fluid temperature condition. The effects of longitudinal heat conduction are negligible only if $\gamma^\act<0.05\;and \;N_{tu}\le3$ and should be considered if $N_{tu}\le3$ The test results ate compared with the existing theoretical and experimental data and the validity of this technique is confirmed by the good agreement.

This study is about the distribution of heat transfer in air conditioning ducts used for marine vessels and oil drilling platforms. As the convective heat transfer coefficient increased, heat transfer was conducted dynamically to inside as it exited to the outlet of duct. The experiment was to determine if the amount of heat transfer generated at the duct exit increased as the convective heat transfer coefficient increased. When the convective heat transfer coefficient was low, the temperature of the duct showed a relatively high temperature difference between the outside and inside of the duct due to the temperature influence of the internal fluid. In case of temperature distribution generated the volume of the duct along the change of the convective heat transfer coefficient, the temperature descended as heat transfer was promoted and the convective heat transfer coefficient increased.

Accurate predictions of heat transfer coefficient of vertical laminar film-boiling are very important in many engineering applications. There are many predictions, however they are not exact as yet, since they have used the assumption of constant thermodynamic properties in the analysis. In this paper, heat transfer of vertical film boiling was analysized by Runnge Kutta method using veriable thermodynamic properties. 1/4 interval method was exployed for the prediction of unknown wall boundary condition. Numerical computations were performed with varying the wall temperature and the free stream velocity of liquid. Results show that assumption of constant thermodynamic properties induced considerable error in predicting the heat transfer coefficient, friction factor, film thickness, and critical length for transition to turbulent flow. Comparision of the predicted heat transfer coefficient of present analysis with that from Bromley's correlation shows that the use of general latent heat in Bromely equation instead of modified latent heat is more desireable since it makes the coefficient of Bromley equation into constant.

The present study has been carried out to reduce the heat loss from a refrigerator by numerical heat transfer analysis and temperature measurement experiment for the verification of heat transfer analysis result. To perform this purpose, two dimensional heat transfer analysis and measurement of temperature on the surface of freezer for the horizontal cross sectional plane of a refrigerator has been accomplished. From the present study, it could be seen that the steel support in the mullion near gasket region has a heat transfer characteristics which transfer outside heat well from the high temperature hotline and outside air to the inner refrigerator. The effect of removing steel support on the reducing heat loss of a refrigerator was 24.8% and removing steel support might introduce significant improvement of refrigerator heat loss.

The operation of a low temperature differential model stirling engine is tested and analyzed by Simple analysis model. The heat transfer coefficients are required for Simple analysis, and the coefficients are determined by coinciding the P-V diagram of analysis to the diagram of experiment. The results show a good agreement. However the heat transfer coefficients are quite high by comparison with the ordinary forced convective heat transfer cases.

In numbers of kinds of heat exchanger, the shell-tube heat exchanger is the most commonly used type of heat exchanger in the industry field. In order to improve the thermal performance of the heat exchanger, this study was analyzed heat transfer characteristics according to arrangement of baffle and direction of baffle and bump phase of baffle about shell-tube heat exchanger using appropriate SST (Shear Stress Transport) turbulence model for flow separation and boundary layer analysis. As the boundary condition for CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis, the inlet temperature of shell side was constantly 344 K and the variation of the water flow rate was 6, 12, 18 and 24 l/min. As the result of analysis, zigzag baffle arrangement enhances heat transfer rate and pressure drop. Furthermore, in the direction of the baffle, heat transfer rate is more improved with vertical type and angle $45^{\circ}$ type than existing type, and pressure drop was little difference. Also, the bump shape of baffle surface contributes to heat transfer rate and pressure drop improvement due to the increased heat transfer area. Through analysis results, we knew that the increase of the heat transfer was influenced by flow separation, fluid residual time, contact area with the tube, flow rate, swirl and so on.

This paper presents a transient heat transfer analysis of a drum brake shape. The transient heat transfer analysis of automotive drum brakes with frictional contact is performed by using the finite element method. The drum brake type studied in the page is the internally expanding one in which two shoes fitted externally with frictional material are forced outward against surface a rotating drum on the wheel unit. In this case, the braking power is produced by the friction force between a drum and a lining, and is converted into heat. The brake drum has constant material properties. The air inside the drum has temperature-dependent thermal conductivity and enthalpy. Radiation effects are ignored. The result explains the reason why hair crack and cause of drum failure occur. The temperature of drum is in proportion to the drum thickness and nonlinear changes at every points of drum. It's necessary for the decrease of the drum temperature to make the air inside drum flow.

The interface heat transfer coefficient was measured for non-isothermal bulk forming of Ti-6Al-4V. FE analysis and experiments were conducted. Equipment consisting of AISI H13 die was instrumented with thermocouples located at sub-surface of the bottom die. Die temperature changes were investigated in related to the process variables such as reduction, lubricant and initial die temperature. The calibration approach based on heat conduction and FE analysis using an inverse algorithm were used to evaluate the interface heat transfer between graphite-lubricated die and glass-coated workpiece. The coefficients determined determined were affected mainly by the contact pressure. The validation of the coefficients was made by the comparison between experimental data and FE analysis results.

In this paper, we dealt with the electro-thermal coupling analysis for temperature prediction of power transformer. Heat transfer coefficient are calculated using Nusselt number in accordance with heat source generated from transformer windings and core materials. The calculated temperatures in power transformer were compared to those of measured ones and showed good agreement. This coupling method using heat transfer coefficient can be used at the design stage of power transformer efficiently.
