Statistical evaluation for the heat transfer correlation in the containment subcompartments is carried out from HDR experimental data. Heat transfer data for three HDR blowdown tests, V.42, V.43 and V.44, are analyzed to deduce the correlation. As Uchida already proposed, air-to-steam density ratio is proven to be the most affecting parameter in this study. Here Uchida heat transfer correlation is revised by including temperature difference between the atmosphere and the wall surface, and atmospheric pressure. In addition to these dependencies, atmospheric turbulence and time factor may be included in the model. This implication, however, is not successful, because turbulence and transient phenomena were not adequately quantified in the HDR program. It is concluded that a strong correlation exists between the heat transfer coefficient and temperature differences, specially for forced circulation conditions.

A 0.5 t/h class non-furnace boiler has been developed with the aim of achieving a high efficiency and compactness. A metal fiber burner has been adopted so that a stable flame can be obtained. The tube banks are installed downstream of the burner. Bare tubes are used upstream, while finned tubes are installed downstream. The heat-transfer characteristics of the non-furnace boiler have been studies on the basis of the results of the numerical simulation as well as those of the experiment. Important design parameters such as the bulk temperature along the streamwise direction and the temperature of the fin tips have been evaluated using the CFD results and compared with the experimental data and the empirical correlations typically used for the design of the boiler.

An absorber is a major component in the absorption refrigeration systems and its performance greatly affects the overall system performance. In this study, experimental analyses on heat transfer characteristics for removal of absorption heat in ammonia-water bubble mode absorber were performed. Heat transfer coefficients were estimated as the variations of input gas flow rate, solution flow rate, temperature, concentration, absorber diameter and height, and input flow direction. The increase of gas and solution flow rate affects positively in heat transfer. However, the increase of solution temperature and concentration affects negatively. Moreover, under the same Reynolds Numbers, countercurrent flow is superior to cocurrent flow in heat transfer performance. In addition, from these experimental data, empirical correlations which can explain easily the characteristics of heat transfer are derived.

A new semi-empirical average heat transfer correlation applicable for both laminar and turbulent film-wise condensation on a vertical surface has been presented. Re functional form of the present correlation is based on the representative existing correlations for laminar and turbulent film flows, whereas the numerical coefficients of the present correlation have been determined by the least squares method using experimental data obtained from the open literatures. In addition, the performance of the present as well as the seven existing correlations (four for laminar and three for turbulent film flow regimes) were evaluated for their accuracy and the range of application. The result shows that for laminar film filow regimes Zazuli's and the present correlations give the samllest values of mean error, whereas for turbulent film How regimes Kirkbride and Badger's and the present correlations produce the smallest values of mean error.

본 연구에서는 액체 유동층 열교환기의 수직관내에 유리알 (직경 3.0mm, 비중 2.54) 이 물과 함께 흐를 때 압력 손실, 열전달 계수 및 화울링 계수를 측정하였다. 실험 결과 유리알은 1.0 m/s 이하의 낮은 유속에서 열전달을 증진시켰고 실험범위 내에서 열전달 계수는 유속 및 고체의 흐름양에 관계없이 거의 일정하였다. 압력 손실은 고체의 흐름양이 증가할수록 급격히 증가하였다. 실험 결과를 토대로 압력손실 및 열전달 계수를 예측할 수 있는 상관식을 개발하였다. 유리알 유동층 흐름은 화울링 조절에 효과적인 것으로 일어나지 않았고 이미 화울링이 심하게 일어난 때에도 유리알은 효과적으로 산화철을 제거할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

In an effort to determine the combined effects of major parameters of heat exchanger tubes on the nucleate pool boiling heat transfer in the scaled in-containment refueling water storage tank (IRWST), a total of 1,966 data for q'quot; versus ${\Delta}T$ has been obtained using various combinations of tube diameters, surface roughness, and tube orientations. The experimental results show that (1) increased surface roughness enhances heat transfer for both horizontal and vertical tubes, (2) the two heat transfer mechanisms, i.e.,enhanced heat transfer for both horizontal and vertical tubes, (2) the two heat transfer mechanisms, i.e., enhanced heat transfer due to liquid agitation by bubbles generated and reduced heat transfer by the formation of large vapor slugs and bubble coalescence are different in two regions of low heat fluxes (q'quot; $\leq$50kW/$m^2)$ and high heat fluxes (q'quot; $\geq$50kW/$m^2)$ depending on the orientation of tubes and the degree of surface roughness, and (3) the heat transfer rate decreases as the tube diameter is increased for both horizontal and vertical tubes, but the effect of tube diameter on the nucleate pool boiling heat transfer for vertical tubes is greater than that for horizontal tubes. Two empirical heat transfer correlations for q'quot;, one for horizontal tubes and the other for vertical tubes, are obtained in terms of surface roughness $({\varepsilon})$ and tube diameter (D). In addition, a simple empirical correlation for nucleate pool boiling heat transfer coefficient $(h_b)$ is obtained as a function of heat flux (q'quot;) only.ucleate pool boiling heat transfer coefficient $(h_b)$ is obtained as a function of heat flux (q'quot;) only.

A design code validated against the thermal analysis results of CFD and published RTE code for a regeneratively cooled combustion chamber has been developed. The major function of the code is to predict the regenerative cooling performance and stress of the chamber wall. Adopted are the empirical correlation for the evaluation of the heat transfer coefficient of hot gas and coolant, and theoretical formula for the fin effect of the channel rib. The hot-gas-side wall temperature from the present code shows 100 K difference at most compared to RTE results. It shows less than 10 % difference for the heat flux thrall through the chamber wall and hot-gas-side convective heat transfer coefficient. The major cause of the wall temperature difference is due to the underestimation of the fin effect of the channel rib.

To understand the role of helical geometry on the regression rate enhancement, two competing underlying mechanisms such as turbulence enhancement and swirling motion production were studied by numerical calculations. Experimental results showed that the enhancement of heat transfer rate has the very close relation to the increase in regression rate even though the percentage of increase in heat transfer rate is different from that in regression rate. This discrepancy is presumably due to the change of turbulent flow feature caused by so-called "blowing mass flux" from the fuel surface. In this regard, the results of RANS calculation show that the blowing velocity is responsible for the reduction of the swirl generation and the increase in the turbulent kinetic energy. And the dominancy of one of the mechanisms causes the increase in the regression rate. Meanwhile, the increase in turbulent kinetic energy due to the mixing of blowing flow and free stream flow does not contribute for the enhancement of the heat transfer rate to the surface because the blowing flow pushes boundary layer away from the solid surface.
