This study conducted a research as to condensation heat transfer by using three types of flat micro multi-channel tubes with different processing of micro-fin and number of channels inside the pipes and different sizes of appearances. In addition, identical studies were conducted by using smoothing circular tubes with 5mm external diameter to study heat transfer coefficient. The condensation heat transfer coefficient showed an increase as the vapor quality and mass flux increased. However, each tube shows little differences compared to 400kg/m2s or identical in case the mass flux are 200kg/m2s and 100kg/m2s. The major reason for these factors is increase-decrease of heat transfer area that the flux type of refrigerant is exposed to the coolant's vapor with the effect of channel aspect ratio or micro-fin. In addition, the heat transfer coefficient was unrelated to the heat flux, and shows a rise as the saturation temperature gets lower, an effect that occurs from enhanced density. The physical factor of heat transfer coefficient increased as the channel's aspect ratio decreased. Additionally, the micro pin at the multi-channel type tube is decided as a disadvantageous factor to condensation heat enhancement factor. That is, due to the effect of aspect ratio or micro-fin, the increase-decrease of heat transfer area that the flux type of a refrigerant is exposed to the vapor is an important factor.

The present study was conducted on the improvement of the heat transfer performance of double pipe heat exchangers with helical insert device. Double pipe heat exchangers with helical insert device were studied for improvement of the heat transfer performance of double pipe heat exchangers with helical insert device and plain double pipe heat exchangers were also studied to comparatively analyze heat transfer performance. Experimental results were derived on changes in the Reynold's numbers of the cooling water flowing in helical and plain double pipe heat exchangers and changes in the heat flux of the air. Thereafter, to verify the reliability of the experimental results, the theoretical total energy and the experimental total energy were comparatively analyzed and the following results were derived. The thermal energy of the calorie lost by the hot air and that of the calorie obtained by the cooling water were well balanced. The experiments of plain double pipe heat exchangers and double pipe heat exchangers with helical insert device were conducted under normal conditions and the theoretical overall heat transfer coefficient value and the experimental overall heat transfer coefficient value coincided well with each other. In both plain double pipe heat exchangers and double pipe heat exchangers with helical insert device, heat transfer rates increased as the cooling water flow velocity increased. Under the same experimental conditions, the heat transfer performance of double pipe heat exchangers with helical insert device was shown to be higher by approximately 1.5 times than that of plain double pipe heat exchangers.

The heat transfer enhancement by pulsating flow in a plate heat exchanger has been experimentally investigated in this study. The effect of the pulsating flow, such as pulsating frequency and flow rate on the heat transfer as well as pressure drop in a plate heat exchanger has been studied in detail. Reynolds number in cold side of a plate heat exchanger is varied 100∼530 while that of hot side is fixed at 620. The pulsating frequency is considered in the range of 5∼30 Hz. The results of the pulsating flow are also compared with those of steady flow. It is found that the average heat transfer rate as well as pressure drop is increased as flow rate is increased for both steady flow and pulsating flow cases. When pulsating flow is applied to the plate heat exchanger, heat transfer could be substantially increased in particular ranges of pulsating frequency or Strouhal number; St=0.36∼0.60 and pressure drop is also increased, compared with those of steady flow. However, in the region of low pulsating frequency or high pulsating frequency, heat transfer enhancement is in meager. Heat transfer enhancement map is suggested based on Strouhal number and Reynolds number of pulsating flow.

Local and overall heat transfer characteristics of fin-flat tube heat exchangers with and without vortex generators were investigated. Local heat transfer coefficients were measured with the heat exchanger model using naphthalene sublimation technique. In case of a fin-flat tube heat exchanger without vortex generators, only the horseshoe vortices formed around tubes augment the heat transfer. On the other hand, longitudinal vortices created artificially by vortex generators additionally enhance heat transfer in case of a fin-flat tube heat exchanger with vortex generators. Overall heat transfer coefficients were measured with the prototypes of the fin-flat tube heat exchanger with and without vortex generators in a wind tunnel and results were compared with those of a fin-circular tube heat exchanger with wavy fin. Friction losses for heat exchangers were also measured and compared. The fin-flat tube heat exchanger with vortex generators is found to be more effective than the fin-circular tube heat exchanger with wavy fin.

Local heat transfer coefficients are measured with the heat exchanger model using naphthalene sublimation technique. In case of a fin-flat tube heat exchanger without vortex generators, only the horseshoe vortices formed around tubes augment the heat transfer. On the other hand, longitudinal vortices created artificially by vortex generators enhance heat transfer dramatically in case of a fin-flat tube heat exchanger with vortex generators. Overall heat transfer coefficients are measured with the prototype of the fin-flat tube heat exchanger with and without vortex generators in a wind tunnel and results are compared with those of a fin-circular tube heat exchanger with wavy fin.

The present paper deals with an experimental study of boiling heat transfer characteristics of R-290, and is focused on pressure gradient and heat transfer coefficient of the refrigerant flow inside horizontal smooth minichannel with inner diameter of 3.0 mm and length of 2000 mm. The direct heating method applied for supplying heat to the refrigerant where the test tube was uniformly heated by electric current which was applied to the tube wall. The experiments were conducted with R-290 with purity of 99.99% at saturation temperature of 0 to $10^{\circ}C$. The range of mass flux is $50{\sim}250kg/m^2s$ and heat flux is $5{\sim}20kW/m^2$. The heat transfer coefficients of R-290 increases with increasing mass flux and saturation temperature, wherein the effect of mass flux is higher than that of the saturation temperature, whereas the heat flux has a low effect on increasing heat transfer coefficient. The significant effect of mass flux on heat transfer coefficient is shown at high quality, the effect of heat flux on heat transfer coefficient at low quality shows a domination of nucleate boiling contribution. The heat transfer coefficient of the experimental result was compared with six existing heat transfer coefficient correlation. Zang et al.'s correlation(2004) gave the best prediction of heat transfer coefficient.

This study presents an idea of using analogy concept to the heat transfer studies regarding the HTGR development. Theoretical backgrounds regarding the idea were reviewed. In order to investigate the predictability of a mass transfer system for heat transfer system phenomenology, an electroplating system coupled with a limiting current technique was adopted. Test facilities for laminar forced convection and natural convections under laminar and turbulent conditions were constructed, for which heat transfer correlations are known. The test results showed a close agreement between mass transfer and heat transfer systems, which is an encouraging indication of the validity of the analogy theory and the experimental methodology adopted. This paper shows the potential of the experimental method that validates the little-understood heat transfer phenomena, even in complex geometries such as HTGR.

Numerical analysis for the flow and heat transfer in solid particle moving beds of heat exchangers is presented. The solid particle flow through the bundle of heat source tubes by the gravitational force. The heat energy is transferred through the direct contact of particles with the heat source tubes. The viscous-plastic fluid model and the convective heat transfer model are employed in the analysis. The flow field dominantly influences the total heat transfer in a heat exchanger. As the velocities of solid particles around the heat source tubes increase, the amount of heat transfer from the tubes increases. Some examples are presented to show the performance of the numerical model. The flow effect on the heat transfer is also studied through the examples.

Heat transfer augmentation in heat exchangers has received much attention in recent years, mainly due to energy efficiency and environmental considerations. Many active and Passive techniques are currently being employed in heat exchangers, with some inserts providing a cost-effective and efficient means of augmenting heat transfer. The Purpose of this paper is to determine the pressure loss and heat transfer characteristics of a heat exchanger using static mixing technology. Experimental measurements were taken on two set-ups: a single tube heat exchanger and a shell-tube heat exchanger with two static mixing inserts. It was concluded that the static mixing inserts resulted in an increase in the pressure loss and heat transfer characteristics as can be expected.
