The spatial variability of soil heat fluxes in a conifer forest was investigated by meteorological measurement. The maximum daily averages of R $s_{dn}$ and Rn were about 260 W $m^{-2}$ and 180 W $m^{-2}$ . The daily average of G was typically 10% of net radiation during mid-July to mid-August. The measured soil heat flux of $G_{6}$ was suitable to calculate G within 2% error during the study period. A time delay in the maximum nux at a depth of 0.1 m by heat storage was observed. About 10 to 15 W $m^{-2}$ of error can occur, if it is neglected.

A study of radiative heat heat transfer has been done in the non-orthogonal coordinate system utilizing the finite volume method and the P.1 approximation. Radiation of absorbing, emitting and scattering media in a concentric annulus has been solved using the non-orthogonal coordinate and the calculations were compared with the existing results. The results obtained from the analysis using the finite volume method are in good agreement with the existing calculations for all optical thicknesses. It was also shown that for only optically thick cases, P-1 approximation can be used in a non-orthogonal coordinate. Convective heat transfer analysis has been carried out to obtain the temperature fields in a cross flow around a circular cylinder and the finite volume method was applied in the non-orthogonal coordinate system to analyze radiative heat transfer. Effects of the optical thickness, the ratio of the surface temperature of the cylinder tot he free stream temperature, and the scattering albedo on radiation have been presented.

In this paper, the thermal characteristics of multilayer insulation (MLI) were experimentally investigated by using boil-off calorimetry method for seeking optimum standards of thermal insulation conditions. It is necessary to design the thermal insulating efficiency for applying to cryogenic instruments such as HTS power cable system. It is well known that the thermal characteristics and heat transfer of MLI are greatly affected by various MLI structures such as the number of layers and layer density, etc. However, it is difficult to know the thermal characteristics of MLI correctly. The heat leak by MLI between room temperature and liquid nitrogen temperature was measured at various conditions using a cylindrical cryostat. The cryostat consists of two guard vessels located at both end sides and a test vessel between them. The guard vessels are also filled with liquid nitrogen to prevent radiation heat leak through the both end side of the cylindrical test vessel to measure the heat leak only through MLI.

A numerical simulation on the combined natural convection and radiation is carried out in a partially open rectangular enclosure with a heater by using the finite volume and the S-8 discrete ordinate methods. The fluid inside the enclosure is considered as an absorbing, emitting and anisotropic scattering media. The heater causes a natural circulation of the fluid (10$^{5}$ $^{9}$ ) which results in significant in-flow of the ambient cold fluid through the partially open wall. Comparing the results of pure convection with those of the combined convection- radiation, the combined heat transfer results with small Planck numbers (P$_{l}$ <1.0) show much stronger circulation than those of the pure convection, and the fluid circulation is more evident for larger Rayleigh numbers. When one of three radiative properties - the medium absorption coefficient, the wall reflectivity, and the scattering albedo - increases, the fluid circulation and the heat transfer in the enclosure are reduced. The location of the heater and the open ratio of the right wall are also shown to affect the fluid circulation and heat transfer significantly. However, the anisotropy of the scattering phase function is shown to be unimportant for the fluid circulation and heat transfer within the enclosure considered in this study.

The objective of this work is to analyze the variation in energy performance for each flat plate collector connected in series. In this study, it was assumed that solar water heating system with annual solar fraction of 60% was installed in an office building in Seoul, South Korea. The transient energy performance corresponding to four cases, which are selected using different solar radiation and outdoor air temperature, is studied by analyzing the variation in outlet temperature, solar useful heat gain, and thermal efficiency of each collector. It is observed that the useful heat gain and the collector efficiency decrease continuously, and outlet temperature increases when increasing the number of collector connected in series. The long-term performance is assessed by evaluating the thermal efficiency of each collector for two solar radiation conditions ranging from 780 to $820W/m^2$ and from 380 to $420W/m^2$. It is found that the differences between the intercept and slope of the efficiency curves for first and eighth collectors are 3.68% and 6.74% for solar radiation of $800{\pm}20W/m^2$ and 8.57% and 12.90% for solar radiation of $400{\pm}20W/m^2$, respectively. In addition, it is interesting to note that annual useful heat gain and collector efficiency are reduced with similar rate of about 6.13% when increasing the collector area by connecting the collectors in series.

This article describes an investigation of basic combustion characteristics of radiant burner with various firing rate and equivalence ratios in porous metal. As a main experimental condition, firing rates and equivalence ratios each were adjusted from 204 to $408kW/m^2$ and 0.6 to 1.3. The purpose of this study is to investigate radiation efficiency using two experiment methods. The first way is to calculate the radiation efficiency by measuring the temperature of the burner surface, and the second is to compute the radiation efficiency by measuring the radiation intensity of the burner surface with a radio meter. The value of the radiation efficiency did not exactly match in the two cases. But we figured out that in accordance with increasing heat power, radiation efficiency was decreased. And additional complementary experiment on the relationship between these values is needed.

A method was developed for analyzing the radiation heat transfer from the duct burner flame to the heat exchanger in a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) in order to supplement the existing thermal design process. The burner flame and the heat exchanger were considered to be imaginary planes, and the flame temperature, surface, and emissivity were simplified using an engineering approach. Three analysis cases in which the duct burner position and fuel were changed were considered. The calculated flame radiative heat transfer and local flux on the heating surface were compared with those of 3-atomic gas radiation and convection. In all analysis cases, heat transfer by 3-atomic gas radiation was very small. The ratio of the flame radiative heat transfer to the convection heat transfer on the heating surface was estimated to be as high as 8-41%. Moreover, the local heat flux on the heating surface centerline was dominated by flame radiative heat flux.

Based on the monthly weather report of Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) and daily sea surface temperature (SST) data from National Fisheries Research and Development Institute (NFRDl) (1991-2001), mean heat fluxes were estimated at the Gunsan harbor Net heat flux was transported from the air to the sea surface during March to early September, and it amounts to $125\;Wm^{-2}$ in average daily during May to June. During the middle of September to February, the transfer of net heat flux was conversed from the sea surface to the air with $-125\;Wm^{-2}$ in mininum value in October. Short wave radiation was ranged from 50 to $248\;Wm^{-2}$ showing maxima in April to June. Long wave radiation was ranged from 25 to $92\;Wm^{-2}$ with mininum value in June to July. Sensible heat flux denoting negative values in April to August was ranged from -30 to $72\;Wm^{-2}.$ Latent heat flux was ranged from 15 to $82\;Wm^{-2}$ with maxima in August to September. The phase of heat exchange was changed from cooling to heating in the end of February, and from heating to cooling In the beginning of September. The advective term of heat flux showed minima in April to June and maxima in November. The ratio of temperature variations was 1.37 in the sea surface process and the horizontal process by advection. This indicates that the main factor in variation of temperature at Gunsan harbor is the heat exchange process through the sea surface from the air.

The temperature change in the biologically activated sludge wastewater treatment process was predicted using the heat transfer model. All incoming and outgoing heats in wastewater treatment processes were considered. Incoming heats included the solar radiation heat, the heat from impeller mechanical energy, and the biochemical heat in the aeration process. Outgoing heats comprised the radiation heat from the waste itself, the heat of vaporization and surface aeration, the wind convection heat and the conduction heat between the surface and aerator. All heats were used as an input to the existing empirical heat transfer model. The heat transfer model of wastewater treatment processes is presented also. To test the validity of the heat transfer model, the operating conditions of the actual wastewater treatment plant were used. The temperatures were compared with the model temperatures. Model predictions were consistent within the $1.0^{\circ}C$.

The rotary kiln is one of the most widely used industrial reactors for contacting gases and solids. Kilns are mainly used for drying, calcining and reducing solid materials. In an indirected fired rotary kiln, heat is supplied to the outside of the kiln wall. Heat transfer in indirected fired rotary kilns encompasses all the modes of transport mechanisms, that is, conduction, convection and radiation. This paper deal with the heat transfer characteristics of indirect fired rotary kiln for scale up.
