동토지역에서는 계절변화에 상관없이 항시 영하상태로 동결되어 있는 영구동토층과, 그 위로 동결융해가 반복되는 활동층으로 구성되어있다. 일반적으로 대기온도 변화에 따라 동결융해가 반복되는 활동층은 얼음과 물의 상변화 작용이 반복되기 때문에 지반의 융기현상과 침하현상, 그리고 영구동토층의 온도상승을 초래할 수 있다. 열사이펀이란 구조체 내부에 충전된 냉매의 자가적인 열순환을 이용하여 지반의 온도를 영하상태로 제어하는 지반 안정화 공법 중 하나이다. 열사이펀은 대기중에 냉매의 열을 방출하는 응축부와 지중에 열을 흡수하는 증발부로 구성되어 있으며 대기의 온도가 영하의 상태일 때 지반의 온도를 영하상태로 제어한다. 본 연구에서는 열사이펀의 지반 열전달성능을 분석하기 위해 모형지반에 단열재를 배치하여 열사이펀을 통한 지반동결실험을 수행하였다. 단열재의 열차단성 및 열사이펀 길이를 고려하여 단열재 및 열사이펀의 성능실험을 수행하였으며, 실험에서 얻어진 물성치를 상용수치해석 프로그램인 TEMP/W에 반영하였다. 본 연구에서 제시된 실내실험과 수치해석 방법을 통해 열사이펀의 열성능을 산정할 수 있었다.

한대지역은 계절 변화에 따라 동결융해가 반복되는 상부의 활동층과 하부의 영하상태로 항시 유지되는 영구동토층으로 구성되어 있다. 한대지역에서 여름철에는 동결되어 있는 지반을 융해시키기 때문에 지반 강도저하 및 침하가 발생한다. 이러한 강도저하 및 침하는 상부 구조물의 구조적 안정성에 문제를 야기시켜 활동층을 포함하고 있는 한대지역에서는 지반의 온도를 항시 영하상태로 유지할 수 있는 동결지반 안정화 공법이 필요하다. 열사이펀이란 구조체 내부에 충전된 냉매의 자가적인 열순환에 의해 지반의 온도를 항시 영하상태로 유지할 수 있는 지반 안정화 공법 이다. 본 연구에서는 열사이펀의 지반 동결성능을 분석하기 위해 R-134a 냉매를 이용하여 충전율에 따른 열사이펀의 지반 온도제어를 실내실험과 수치해석을 통해 분석하고 열사이펀의 열전도율을 산정하였다.

Thermal-fluid analysis is performed numerically to figure out the characteristics of heat transfer in a thermosyphon varying with the aspect ratio of geometry and the filling ratio of working fluid. The computational results are reasonable compared with the experimental data and visualized. The thermal resistance and the convective heat transfer coefficients are evaluated with the aspect ratio of thermosyphon and the filling ratio of working fluid, respectively. In conclusion, the thermal resistance decreases as the length of evaporator increases. However, the variation of a condenser length is nearly independent on the thermal resistance. In order to raise the performance of thermosyphon, the working fluid needs to be filled over 75%. In addition, Nusselt numbers in the evaporator and the condenser show 275 and 304, respectively.

An experimental study was carried out to delineate the flow characteristics in a closed countescurrent two-phase thermo syphon with concentric tubes. This is to be installed in the HANARO research reactor as a part of a Cold Neutron Source(CNS). In the present investigation, experiments ata room temperature with Freon-II3 as a moderator were performed. Results show that, based on the magnitude of pressure fluctuation, the flow regimes could be divided into 4 distinct ones in the ($V_f,\;Q_i$) plane, where $V_f$ represents the volume of the charged liquid and $Q_i$ the heat load: a stable flow regime, an oscillatory flow regime, a restablized flow regime and a dryout flow regime. For $V_f$>2.5l, the flow is stable at low $Q_i$. However, as $Q_i$ increases, the flow becomes oscillatory and finally restablizes As $V_f$ increases, the oscillation amplitude decreases, reaching to the restablized flow region at low $Q_i$, and the liquid level in the moderator cell remains high. In the oscillatory flow regimes, for a fixed VI; the oscillating period of time varies with $Q_i$, having a minimum value at a certain value of $Q_i$. The heat load, where the oscillating period of time is minimum, decreases as $V_f$ increases.

A thermosiphon is utilized as a thermal shunt to reduce the cool-down time of a cryogenic system cooled by a two stage cryocooler. The cool-down time reduction by the thermosiphon is determined by the type of working fluid which is directly related to the operating temperature range of the thermosiphon. A mixed working fluid has a potential to widen the operation temperature range of the thermosipohon. In this study, the thermosiphon using N$_2$ and CF$_4$ mixture as the working fluid is fabricated and tested to verify its transient heat transfer performance. The thermosiphon with the mixed working fluid has no noticeable reduction of cool-down time compared with that of the thermosiphon with pure working fluid in this experiment. However, it seems that the thermosiphon with mixed working fluid may have an advantage according to the cooling capacity of a cryocooler, the cooling target temperature and the size of a cooling object.

Thermal performance of a thermosiphon for medium-temperature solar thermal application was investigated. The working fluid was Dowtherm A and the container was made of STS 316L. The thermosiphon had a outer diameter of 12.7 mm and a total length of 2 m, where the evaporator and the condenser had the same length of 0.3 m and the adiabatic section was 1.4 m. Both the evaporator and the condenser were aligned horizontal with an elevation difference of 0.18 m to utilize the gravitational force for the working-fluid return. The optimum fill charge ratio of the working fluid was investigated to obtain the maximum heat transport with the lowest thermal resistance. The maximun input thermal load was 500 W and thermal resistance was $0.60^{\circ}C/W$.

The operational temperature range of thermosiphon is generally limited from the critical point to the triple point of the working fluid to maintain two-phase state. Thermosiphon with mixed working fluid has a potential to widen the operational temperature range. In this study, the physical behavior of mixed working fluid during the transient operation of thermosiphon was analyzed with temperature-mole fraction diagram. The condenser and the evaporator temperature variations were explained by the dew line and the bubble line of the mixture. It is encouraging that the thermosiphon operation commences early with larger fraction of high boiling point component, but the temperature gap between the condenser and the evaporator due to the separation of two components has a negative effect on the officient cool down process.
