This paper deals with the heat exchange performance prediction of a counter flow type double-tube condenser for natural refrigerant mixtures composed of Propane/n-Butane or Propane/i-Butane in a smooth tube and a micro-fin tube. The local characteristics of heat transfer, mass transfer and pressure drop are calculated using a prediction method developed by the authors. The total pressure drop and the overall heat transfer coefficient are also evaluated on various heat exchange conditions. The calculated results of the natural refrigerant mixtures are compared with HCFC22. In conclusion, natural refrigerant mixtures composed of Propane/n-Butane or Propane/i-Butane are appropriate candidates for alternative refrigerant from the viewpoint of heat transfer characteristics.

원예시설의 환경설계 중 난방부하 산정방법에 대한 검증을 위하여, 대규모 플라스틱 온실에서 총난방부하와 틈새환기율, 지중전열량을 계측하여 계산결과와 비교 분석하였고, 지중전열 및 틈새환기가 온실의 난방부하에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 실험기간 동안 실내기온은 $13.3{\pm}1.2^{\circ}C$, 실외 기온은 $-9.4{\sim}+7.2^{\circ}C$의 범위를 보였으며, 우리나라의 난방 설계 외기온 범위에서 유효한 것으로 확인하였다. 가스트레이서법으로 측정한 틈새환기율은 평균 $0.245h^{-1}$로 나타났다. 온실의 피복면적에 일정한 환기전열계수값을 사용하는 방법은 온실의 규모에 따라서 문제가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 환기전열부하는 온실의 체적과 틈새환기율을 이용하는 방법이 합리적인 것으로 판단된다. 온실 중앙에서 측정한 지중열류는 실내외 기온차에 따라 음으로 약간 증가하는 경향을 보이고, 온실 측면에서 측정한 지중열류는 실내외 기온차에 따라 양으로 크게 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 계측 결과를 바탕으로 온실의 외주부를 통한 열손실 개념을 도입한 새로운 지중전열부하 산정 방법을 개발하였으며, 검증결과 잘 일치하는 것으로 나타났다. 관류열부하는 대체로 실내외 기온차에 비례하는 것으로 나타났으나, 열관류율은 작아지는 경향을 보였다. 따라서 관류열부하 산정시 설계조건에 따라 열관류율의 선택에 주의를 기울여야 할 것으로 판단된다. 실험온실의 열관류율은 평균 $2.73W{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}C^{-1}$로 단일피복의 플라스틱 온실 대비 60%의 열절감율을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 전체 난방부하 중에서 관류열부하가 84.7~95.4%, 환기전열부하가 4.4~9.5%, 지중전열부하가 -0.2~+6.3%를 차지하는 것으로 나타났다. 관류열부하는 실내외 기온차가 낮은 그룹에서 더 큰 비율을 차지하고, 환기전열 부하는 실내외 기온차가 높은 그룹에서 더 큰 비율을 차지하는 것으로 나타났다. 지중전열부하의 경우 실내외 기온차가 낮은 그룹에서는 부하를 경감시키는 방향으로 작용하고, 실내외 기온차에 따라 부하를 증가시키거나 경감시키는 방향으로 작용하는 것으로 나타났으므로 이 기준 온도차의 선택이 중요한 것으로 판단된다. 지중전열부하에 비하여는 환기전열부하가 더 큰 비중을 차지하므로 에너지 절감을 위해서는 틈새환기율을 줄일 수 있는 대책이 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, a numerical study was conducted to evaluate the performance improvement when CuO nanofluid was used in the plate heat exchanger. As a result, the heat transfer amount is increased by 5.45% when 2 vol% CuO nanofluid is used. The influence on the CuO nanofluid on the performance of heat exchanger is decreased by increasing the flow rate of working fluid. In addition, the overall heat transfer coefficient using 2 vol% CuO nanofluid decreased compared to the base fluid. However, the pressure drop and the consumption of the pump power is increased as the concentration of CuO nanofluid increased because the increase of the viscosity. These are increased up to 15.4% compared to those of the base fluid. Moreover, the performance index of CuO nanofluid is decreased by 12.6% compared to that of the base fluid.

This study was conducted to develop new drying process for automatic control and marine engi-neering system. Air-water tests were carried out to investigate dryer performance. The dispersed flow in he dryer test apparatuses was also simulated by using a numerical code which solves the Dittus-Boelter equation for continuous liquid phase and the Reynolds equation of droplet motion for continuous liquid phase and the Reynolds equation of droplet motion for dispersed phase to predict droplet removal efficiency. Proper conditions for dehumidification were optimized by response ambient conditions. When the selected indexes were constrained in the range of 85-98% moisture content above $15^{\circ}$ and more than mass flow rates of moist air 750kg/h. The numerical results were compared with the experimental data pertaining to the removal effi-ciency at chamber stage and overall pressure drop along concentric tubes Good agreement was obtained as for the efficiency while relatively poor agreement was obtained for the relative humidity. The results also showed that the efficiency depended strongly on the relative humidity at the inlet condition which indicated the importance of estimating the heat exchanger length. Effects of some design parameters in both removal efficiency and breakthrough onset condition are discussed.

For the extensive investigation of local heat/mass transfer on the near-tip surface of turbine blade, experiments were conducted in a low speed stationary annular cascade. The turbine test section has a single stage composed of sixteen guide vanes and blades. The chord length and the height of the tested blade are 150 mm and about 125 mm, respectively. The blade has flat tip geometry and the mean tip clearance is about $2.5{\%}$ of the blade chord. Detailed mass transfer coefficient on the blade near-tip surface was obtained using a naphthalene sublimation technique. The inlet flow Reynolds number based on chord length and incoming flow velocity is changed from $1.0{\times}10^{5}\;to\;2.3{\times}10^{5}.$ Extremely complex heat transfer characteristics are observed on the blade surface due, to complicated flow patterns, such as flow acceleration, laminarization, transition, separation bubble and tip leakage flow. Especially, the suction side surface of the blade has higher heat/mass transfer coefficients and more complex distribution than the pressure side surface, which is related to the leakage flow. For all the tested Reynolds numbers, the heat/mass transfer characteristics on the turbine blade are the similar. The overall averaged $Sh_{c}$ values are proportional to $Re_{c}^{0.5}$ on the stagnation region and the laminar flow region such as the pressure side surface. However, since the flow is fully turbulent in the near-tip region, the heat/mass transfer coefficients are proportional to $Re_{c}^{0.8}.$

Performance of the heat pump with attaching an air heat exchanger was investigated in the heating condition when the air heat exchanger was worked in the ambient air temperature of -5 to 11$\^{C}$ and air flow rate of 542 to 747 ㎡/h. Performance tests for heating condition were conducted in an experimental room equipped with heat pump. The performance tests were performed in a ambient temperature of -4 ∼ 11$\^{C}$, and room temperature of 4∼22$\^{C}$ respectively. Measured data(temperature, capacity of heat transfer and consumption of electronic power) were analyzed to the efficiency of HEEVA(Heat Exchanger fur the Evaporator), overall heat transfer coefficient and COP of heat pump. The results of inlet temperature for evaporator increased that the temperature was 2 ∼6$\^{C}$, and inlet temperature for condenser decreased that the temperature was 3 ∼ 8$\^{C}$. The results of comparing efficiency of HEEVA for the ratio of heat exchange between hot air and cold air showed that efficiency were considered to 91% because of the ratio of 83∼98%. The results of comparing of COP for the heat pump increased that improvement COP was approximately 0.3∼7.5 than HEEVA had not been operated.

As the operating time of heat exchangers progresses, fouling caused by water-borne deposits and the number of plugged tubes increase and thermal performance decreases. Both fouling and tube plugging are known to interfere with normal flow characteristics and to reduce thermal efficiencies of heat exchangers. The heat exchangers of Korean nuclear power plants have been analyzed in terms of heat transfer rate and overall heat transfer coefficient as a means of heat exchanger management. Except for fouling resulting from the operation of heat exchangers, all the tubes of heat exchangers have been replaced when the number of plugged tubes exceeded the plugging criteria based on design performance sheet. This paper describes a plugging margin evaluation method taking into account the fouling of shell-and-tube heat exchangers. The method can evaluate thermal performance, estimate future fouling variation, and consider current fouling level in the calculation of plugging margin. To identify the effectiveness of the developed method, fouling and plugging margin evaluations were performed at a component cooling heat exchanger in a Korean nuclear power plant.

직경이 0.102 m이고 높이가 2.5 m인 액체-입자 swirling(나선)흐름 유동층에서 유동 입자의 흐름 및 열전달 특성을 고찰하였다. 액체유속($U_L$), 유동 입자의 크기($d_p$) 그리고 연속상인 액체의 나선 유도흐름 액체량의 비($R_s$)가 유동층 내 유동입자의 체류량 유동층 내부 열원과 유동층간의 총괄 열전달 계수에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 액체-입자 나선흐름 유동층에서 입자 체류량은 입자의 크기와 나선유도흐름 액체량의 비가 증가함에 따라서 증가하였으나, 액체유속의 증가에 따라서는 감소하였다. 유동층 내부에서 나선 유도 흐름 액체량의 비가 0.1~0.3인 경우에 유동 입자의 국부체류량은 유동층 중심부에서 큰 값을 나타내었으나, $R_s$의 값이 0.5일 때는 반경 방향 입자 체류량은 거의 균일한 분포를 보이며, $R_s$의 값이 0.7일 때는 유동층 중심부의 입자 체류량이 상대적으로 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 유동층 내부열원과 유동층간의 열전달 특성은 열원 표면과 유동층간의 온도차 요동 자료의 위상공간 투영과 kolmogorov 엔트로피 해석으로 고찰할 수 있었으며, 나선 유도 흐름 액체량의 비($R_s$)가 0.1에서 0.5까지 증가할수록 온도차 요동 자료의 위상공간 투영은 점점 안정되고 규칙성이 증대되는 상태를 나타내고, kolmogorov 엔트로피 값은 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 열원 표면과 유동층간의 온도차 요동 자료의 kolmogorov 엔트로피 값은 액체의 유속이 증가함에 따라 최대값을 나타내었다. 열원과 유동층간의 총괄 열전달 계수는 액체유속, 층공극률, 나선 유도 흐름 액체량의 비가 증가함에 따라서 최대값을 나타내었으며, 유동 입자의 크기가 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 내부 열원과 유동층간의 총괄 열전달 계수가 최대값을 나타낼 때의 액체의 유속 조건에서 온도차 요동자료의 kolmogorov 엔트로피의 값도 최대값을 나타내었다. 액체-입자 나선흐름 유동층에서 입자 체류량과 열전달 계수를 무차원군의 상관식으로 나타낼 수 있었다.

Conjugate heat analysis on a high pressure turbine stage including secondary flow paths has been carried out. The secondary flow paths were designed to be located in front of the nozzle and between the nozzle and rotor domains. Thermal boundary conditions such as empirical based temperature or heat transfer coefficient were specified at nozzle and rotor solid domains. To create heat transfer interface between the nozzle solid domain and the rotor fluid domain, frozen rotor with automatic pitch control was used assuming that there is little temperature variation along the circumferential direction at the nozzle solid and rotor fluid domain interface. The simulation results showed that secondary flow injected from the secondary flow path not only prevents main flow from penetrating into the secondary flow path, but also effectively cools down the nozzle and rotor surfaces. Also thermal barrier coating with different thickness was numerically implemented on the nozzle surface. The thermal barrier coating further reduces temperature gradient over the entire nozzle surface as well as the overall temperature level.

For the Korean design of the PCCS (passive containment cooling system) in an innovative PWR, the overall thermal resistance around a condenser tube is dominated by the heat transfer coefficient of steam condensation on the exterior surface. It has been reported, however, that the calculated heat transfer coefficients by thermal-hydraulic system codes were much lower than measured data in separate effect tests. In this study, a new empirical model of steam condensation in the presence of a noncondensable gas was implemented into the MARS-KS 1.4 code to replace the conventional Colburn-Hougen model. The selected correlation had been developed from condensation test data obtained at the JERICHO (JNU Experimental Rig for Investigation of Condensation Heat transfer On tube) facility, and considered the effect of the Grashof number for naturally circulating gas mixture and the curvature of the condenser tube. The modified MARS-KS code was applied to simulate the transient response of the containment equipped with the PCCS to the large-break loss-of-coolant accident. The heat removal performances of the PCCS and corresponding evolution of the containment pressure were compared to those calculated via the original model. Various thermal-hydraulic parameters associated with the natural circulation operation through the heat transport circuit were also investigated.
