An experimental study was conducted to investigate the effect of a tube row, a fin pitch and an inlet humidity on air-side heat and mass transfer performance of louvered fin-tube heat exchangers under wet conditions. Experimental conditions were varied by three fin pitches, two rows, two inlet relative humidities. Experimental results showed that the heat transfer performance decreased and the friction increased with the decrease of fin pitch, for 2 row heat exchanger. The effect of fin pitch on heat transfer performance was negligible with 3 row heat exchanger. The changes in relative humidity was not affected heat transfer and friction. However, the mass transfer performance was slightly decreased with the increase of relative humidity and with the decrease of fin pitch. The mass transfer performance of the louvered fin-tube heat exchanger decreased with the decrease of the fin pitch and was different according to the number of tube row.

CRUD (chalk river unidentified deposits) is a porous material deposited on the surface of nuclear fuel during nuclear power plant operation. The CRUD is composed of metal oxides, such as iron, nickel, and chromium. It is essential to investigate the effects of the CRUD layer on the wall heat transfer between the nuclear fuel surface and the coolant in the event of a nuclear accident. CRUD only negatively affects the temperature of the nuclear fuel due to heat resistance because the effects of the CRUD layer on two-phase boiling heat transfer are not considered. In this study, the physical property models for the porous CRUD layer were developed and implemented into the SPACE code. The effects of boiling heat transfer models on the peak cladding temperature and quenching were investigated by simulating a reflood experiment. The calculation results showed some positive effects of the CRUD layer.

Naphthalene sublimation technique is employed to investigate the mass transfer processes from a square cylinder at various Reynolds numbers and various angles of attack. Distribution of the local mass transfer coefficients on each face of the cylinder changes dramatically with the angle of attack. Such variation of local mass transfer rates closely connected with the complex flow phenomena such as stagnation, acceleration, separation, reattachment and vortex shedding. The average Sherwood number has a minimum value at 12.deg.-13.deg., and a maximum value at a=20.deg.-25.deg. A comparison of present mass transfer measurement with other heat transfer measurements, using the heat/mass transfer analogy, shows good agreement in average transfer rates, same trend but notable differences in local values. Therefore, naphthalene sublimation technique can be adopted to explore heat transfer processes in the complex flow situations, which is considered to be hardly possible with the conventional heat transfer measurements.

물질전달과 열전달의 유사성을 이용하는 나프탈렌 승화법을 핵연료집합체 모델에 적용하여 봉다발에서의 국소 열전달 계수의 분포를 측정하였다. 실험 모델은 가압경수형 원자로에서 나타나는 부수로 즉, 벽면 부수로와 모서리 부수로 및 내부 부수로로 구성되는 3$\times$3 봉다발이다. 봉다발에서의 국소 열전달 계수 값은 부수로의 형상과 인접한 봉 및 벽면의 영향이 크게 작용하는 것으로 측정되었다. 내부 부수로에 둘러져 있는 봉에서의 국소 열전달계수값은 봉과 봉 사이에서는 부수로 중심 방향보다 낮았고, 평균열전달계수는 Dittus-Boelter의 상관식보다 약간 낮은 값을 보였다. 벽면 부수로에 인접한 봉에서의 열전달계수는 벽면의 영향으로 내부 부수로에 있는 봉보다 상대적으로 낮았으며, 모서리 부수로의 봉에서는 벽면의 영향이 증대되어 더욱 낮게 나타났다.

태양열 제습냉방은 액체흡수제를 이용한 냉각효과로 기존의 전기에너지를 가능케 하는 해결책중 하나이다. 따라서 태양열을 거의 활용하지 않는 여름에 가열온수를 열원으로 활용하여 쾌적조건을 구현하는 본 연구의 대상인 태양열냉방시스템은 제습기와 재생기로 크게 이루어져 있다. 본 논문은 제습기의 유량 변화에 따른 열전달 및 물질전달의 변화를 실험과 이론적 해석으로 규명하고 있는데, 흐름의 양상은 병렬형과 대향류형을 대상으로 하고 있다. 실험결과와 이론해석이 비교적 잘 일치하였으며, 대향류형이 병렬형보다도 물질전달 면에서 유리하게 나타났으며, 입 출구의 엔탈피 차이에서도 크서 열전달에서도 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 그 차이를 본 논문에서는 나타내었으며, 일정한 높이나 길이 이상에서는 항상 일정함을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 본 논문의 결과들은 제습기의 유동흐름을 통한 태양열냉방시스템 중 제습기의 설계 및 성능 향상에 도움을 줄 것이다.

An experimental study of jet impingement on aluminum foam mounted on the surface with constant heat flux is conducted with the presentation of the heat transfer rate measured when jet impinges normally to a flat plate. Effects of pore density, foam thickness and Reynolds number on the heat transfer are analyzed. Experimental results show that the significant enhancement in Nu is obtained when the aluminum foam is mounted on the heated plate and that the increase in the heat transfer due to the porous material insertion is dominated by both the increase in the heat transfer area and the decrease in the momentum flux resulted from the pressure drop.

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.

혼합증기(수증기/공기)의 막응축 열전달 계수를 수직한 벽면에서 측정하고 상관식을 개발하였다. 열전달 상관식은 액막측과 증기측으로 구분하여 만들었고, 액막측 전열계수의 상관식은 액막의 Reynolds수와 Prandtl수의 함수로 나타냈으며, 증기측 전열계수의 상관식은 증기의 Reynolds수, Prandtl수, Schmidt수 및 공기의 질량분율, 액막 Reynolds수의 함수로 제안하였다. 응축 액막의 두께와 확산층의 순간온도 측정결과로부터 액막의 파형 계면이 확산층에서의 열 및 물질전달에 큰 영향을 끼치고 있음을 확인하였고, 증기측 전열계수의 상관식에 포함된 액막 Reynolds수가 파형 계면의 영향을 반영하고 있다.

In this study, by varying flow patterns, which is one of the hydraulic factors of FAC, a strategy to reduce pipe wall thinning by mass transfer has been investigated. A similarity between heat transfer and mass transfer was verified via theoretical analysis, and local convective heat transfer coefficients were analyzed using a commercial numerical analysis program. When ribs were installed inside and outside of the internal surface in the straight section of the pipe, the maximum local heat transfer coefficient was shown to decrease substantially by up to 24.9% compared to the basic flow depending on the position and shape of ribs. If a guide vein was inserted in the pipe elbow, the maximum local heat transfer coefficient decreased by up to 26.7% compared to the basic flow depending on the internal surface area of the pipe by the guide vein.

Natural convection heat transfers on inclined flat plates were measured for Grashof numbers of $8.06{\times}10^7$ and $3.45{\times}10^9$ by using a copper sulfate electroplating system. The inclinations of the plates were varied from upward-facing horizontal to downward-facing horizontal. Test results for the downward-facing plate agree well with the existing theory that the Nusselt number can be calculated by replacing gravitational acceleration, g with g $cos{\theta}$ in the heat transfer correlation for the vertical plate. The natural convection flows for the upward-facing plate follow two distinct flow regimes: boundary layer regime and flow separation regime. The copper plating pattern for the upward-facing plates clearly reveals the flow separation points.
