In this study, the relations of the wall thermal conductivity and surface temperature in a compartment fire are investigated using Buckingham Pi theorem. The dimensionless parameters of the previous study are analyzed in order to correlate the dimensionless groups of the heat release rate, the thermal conductivity, the volume of compartment and the convective heat transfer coefficient. In addition the reduced scale of compartment, which has 1/6 size of ISO 9705 Room Corner Tester, is manufactured and the oxygen concentration and the maximum temperature in the space are measured for the gasoline pool fire ($10cm{\times}10cm$, $15cm{\times}15cm$ and $20cm{\times}20cm$). Finally, the criterion of the wall temperature increase are suggested in accordance with the thermal conductivity and the convective heat transfer coefficient. In addition, the dimensionless empirical equation using Buckingham Pi theorem considering the heat release rate are presented suggested. The results of this study will be useful especially for the fire phenomenon investigation of the wall thermal conductivity coefficient and shape in the compartment space.

PWR 사용후핵연료 집합체를 운반할 수 있는 수송용기를 개발하기 위하여 단면이 수송용기의 실제 크기인 slice 모델을 사용하여 법규에서 규정하고 있는 정상조건인 주변온도 38$^{\circ}C$에서 냉각 매체로 nitrogen 과 helium 인 경우에 대하여 열시험을 수행하여 수송용기의 열전달 특성 및 핵연료봉의 건전성을 평가하였다. 열시험결과 내부핵연봉의 최대 은도는 각각 448$^{\circ}C$ 와 416$^{\circ}C$로 측정되었다. 이 값들은 핵연료봉의 건전성 유지에 필요한 허용치 이내 만족하는 것으로 수송 용기의 열전달성능이 우수함을 입증하는 것이다.

본 논문에서는 쿨튜브를 적용한 식물공장 이중창호와 삼중창호의 열전달 차단성능을 3차원 수치해석을 통해 비교분석하였다. 이중창호 설계변수인 유입구의 개수와 중공층 두께조건에 따라 창호를 통해 식물공장 외부에서 내부로 유입되는 열전달량을 분석하였다. 쿨튜브를 통해 중공층으로 유입되는 공기속도가 이중창호에서는 0.95 m/s, 삼중창호의 경우는 0.50 m/s 이상일 때 창호를 관통하여 외부에서 내부로 유입되는 열에너지가 차단되는 결과를 얻었다. 삼중창호의 경우에 중공층 유입 공기속도를 0.50 m/s 이상으로 증가시킬 경우 오히려 식물공장 내부의 열에너지가 중공층으로 빠져나가 실내온도를 낮추는 효과가 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 국내 지역별 기후데이터의 온도조건을 고려한 분석을 추가적으로 진행할 계획이다.

발코니 확장에 따른 아파트의 화재안전기준 강화를 목적으로 건축법 시행령 제 46조 제 4항의 규정에 따라 현재 건축되고 아파트에는 $2m^2$이상의 대피공간을 설치해야 한다. 그리고 대피공간은 채광방향과 관계없이 거실 각 부분에서 접근이 용이한 장소에 설치해야 하며, 출입구에 설치되는 갑종방화문은 거실쪽에서만 열 수 있는 구조로 해야한다. 하지만 현재 시공되고 있는 방화문은 비차열성 방화문으로써 거실공간에서 화재가 발생하였을 경우 방화문의 열전달 현상에 의해 대피공간 내부의 온도상승이 유발되지만 현재 방화문의 차열성능에 대한 규정이 부재하기 때문에 향후 인명피해가 우려되는 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 실제 방화문의 성능시험을 통해 대피공간과 접한 방화문 면의 온도변화를 측정하였으며, 이로 인한 대피공간 내부의 온도변화를 분석하기 위해 수치해석을 수행하였다.

This study conducted joint research with the Navy logistics command ship technology research institute to resolve the occurrence of naval vessel's high-temperature warning and equipment shutdown caused by VRTU overheating during summer operation and the dispatch of troops to equatorial regions. The cooling effect was checked according to the installation of a thermoelectric device cooling system, and heat flow and heat transfer characteristics inside VRTU was analyzed using Computational Fluid Dynamics. In addition, the temperature distribution inside the engine room was assessed through interpretation, and the optimal installation location to prevent VRTU overheating was identified. As a result, the average volume temperature inside the VRTU decreased by approximately 10 ℃ with the installation of the cooling system, and the fan installed in the cooling system made the heat circulation smooth, enhancing the cooling effect. The inside of the engine room showed a high-temperature distribution at the top of the engine room, and the end of the HVAC duct diffuser showed the lowest temperature distribution.

A geometrical inverse heat conduction problem is solved for the infrared scanning cavity detection by the boundary element method using minimal energy technique. By minimizing the kinetic energy of temperature field, boundary element equations are converted to the quadratic programming problem. A hypothetical inner boundary is defined such that the actual cavity is located interior to the domain. Temperatures at hypothetical inner boundary are determined to meet the constraints of mea- surement error of surface temperature obtained by infrared scanning, and then boundary element analysis is peformed for the position of an unknown boundary (cavity). Cavity detection algorithm is provided, and the effects of minimal energy technique on the inverse solution method are investigated by means of numerical analysis.

Pipe cooling method is widely used for reduction of hydration heat and control of cracking in mass concrete structures. However, in order to effectively apply pipe cooling systems to concrete structures, the coefficient of flow convection relating the thermal transfer between inner stream of pipe and concrete must be estimated. In this study, a device measuring the coefficient of flow convection was developed. Since a variation of thermal distribution caused by pipe cooling has a direct effect on internal forced flows, the developed testing device is based on the internal forced flow concept. Influencing factors on the coefficient of flow convection are mainly flow velocity, pipe diameter and thickness, and pipe material. Using experimental results from the developed device, the coefficient of flow convection was calculated. Finally, a general prediction model was proposed by theoretical procedures. The proposed prediction model is able to estimate the coefficient of flow convection with flow velocity and material properties of pipe. From comparison with experimental results, the coefficient of flow convection by this model was well agreed with those by experimental results.

The effects of top and bottom lids on the natural convection heat transfer phenomena inside vertical cylinders were investigated experimentally for $Ra_{Lw}$ from $9.26{\times}10^9$ to $7.74{\times}10^{12}$. Using the concept of analogy between heat and mass transfer, a cupric acid-copper sulfate electroplating system was employed as mass transfer experiments replacing heat transfer experiments. The natural convection heat transfer of both-open cylinders in laminar and turbulent flows was in good agreement with the existing heat transfer correlations developed for vertical plates. The effects of top and bottom lids on the heat transfer rates were very similar to the studies of Krysa et al. and Sedahmed et al. and Chung et al. With the copper lids, the bottom-closed cavity showed the highest heat transfer rates and then followed both-closed, top-closed, both-open ones in both laminar and turbulent flows. However with the acryl lids, the similar trends were observed except that the heat transfer rates for both-open were higher than top-closed one. The use of the copper lids increased the heat transfer rates compared to the acryl lids due to the hydrodynamic interaction of the flows developed for the different heated faces. This study extended the ranges of flow conditions of the existing literatures and proposed the empirical correlations.

An experimental study was carried out to investigate the effect of the inclination angle on the nucleate pool boiling of saturated water at atmospheric pressure. We considered an annulus with a gap of 5 mm and a bottom opening. The inner tube of the annulus was heated, and the outer diameter and the length of the tube were 25.4 mm and 500 mm, respectively. The inclination angle was varied from horizontal to vertical. The results were compared to those for an annulus with a larger gap and a single tube. In the small-gap annulus, the effect of the inclination angle on the heat transfer was not significant. However, an early onset of the critical heat flux was observed at 80 kW/$m^2$ when the annulus was horizontal. Liquid agitation and bubble coalescence were considered to be the major heat-transfer mechanisms.

This study was carried out for the purpose of determination of maintenance period and investigation of weak point due to freeze when the gas heater of KOGAS valve station Is not operated in winter season. 3-dimensional non-linear numerical simulation was conducted in order to predict the time and location which bath water in heater reaches to ice point. FLUENT V 5.0, commercial code, is used for thermal fluid flow analysis. We thought this was problem of heat conduction solving the energy equation and modeled gas heater by using the real geometry and scale for performing the 3-dimensional simulation. It was analyzed complex heat transfer phenomena considering convection due to air on surface, conduction in insulation material, natural convection of liquid in heater and heat loss through the pipe.
