This study calculated the overall heat transfer coefficient (U-value) of greenhouse covering materials with thermal screens using a simulation model and then estimated the validity of the calculated results by comparison with measured values. The U-value decreased gradually as the thickness of the air space between the double glazing increased, and then remained essentially constant at thicknesses exceeding 25 mm. The U-value also increased with the difference in temperature between the inside and outside of the hot box. The vigorous convective heat transfer between two plastic films caused unsteady heat flow and then created a nonlinear temperature distribution in the air space. The distance did not affect the U-value at distances of 50~200 mm between the plastic covering and thermal curtain. The numerical calculation results, with and without sky radiation, were in accord with the experimental results for a $30^{\circ}C$ temperature difference between the inside and outside of the hot box. In conclusion, a reliable U-value can be calculated for a temperature difference of $30^{\circ}C$ or more between the inside and outside of the hot box.

A heat transfer model for a pulse combustion water heater is developed, and an associated computer simulation is conducted to determine the temperature distribution as well as heat transfer rate. Parametric studies are performed to examine the effects of the operating and design variables on the thermal performance and heat transfer rate. They are found to be influenced mainly by energy input rate, the amount of excess air, the volume of combustion chamber, and the diameter of flue tube.

The goal of heat transfer studies is the accurate prediction of temperature and heat flux distribution on material boundaries. To this purpose, general-purpose computational fluid dynamics(CFD) code is used : FLUENT. Mass fluxes and pressure ratio are calculated for two types of nozzle. The comparative studies reveal that the computational results are in agreement with the experimental data. Also, heat transfer coefficients from FLUENT for one type of nozzle are very similar and agree well with the experimental data in the diverging part of the nozzle, but the calculated results are large in the converging part. The heat transfer coefficients from Bartz equation are over-predicted. We can consider various reasons for these differences, i.e., laminarization by the highly accelerated flow in the nozzle, turbulent flow model and grid generation.

직조 금속 스크린 리브(rib) 이 바닥에 설치된 사각 덕트에서 열전달과 유체유동의 압력강하를 측정하기 위해 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 시험부의 치수는 200 mm(W) ${\times}$ 40 mm(H) ${\times}$ 712 mm(L)이고 수력직경은 66.6 mm이다. 입구영역에는 1.72m 길이의 가열되지 않은 동일한 치수의 채널을 설치하였다. 메쉬가 다른 4가지의 직조금속 스크린 리브에 대해 측정하였다. 그리고 비교를 위해 일체형 리브에 대해서도 측정하였다. 국부 열전달 계수의 측정에는 스테인레스 강제 포일(foil) 히터와 T형 열전대률 이용하였다. 레이놀즈 수는 23,000에서 58,000의 범위이다. 덕트의 수력직경($D_h$)에 대한 직조 금속 리브의 높이(e)의 비($e/D_h$)는 0.075 이고 리브 간격(p)과 높이의 비(p/e)는 10이다. 실험 결과 메쉬가 없는 일체형 리입에서 가장 누셀트 수와 마찰계수가 컷다.

This paper describes a measuring apparatus that can be used to appraise the effectiveness of nanofluids as new heat-transfer-enhancing fluids. A couple of apparatuses using fine hot wires as sensors have been proposed for this purpose; however, they have a technical weakness related to the uncertain working conditions of the sensor. The present method uses the convective heat transfer coefficient from a hot wire as an indication of the heat transfer effectiveness of the nanofluid, where the temperature of the wire remains constant during the experiment. The operating principle and experimental procedure are explained in detail, and the validity of the system is tested with pure base fluids. The effects of particle concentration, velocity, and temperature on the heat transfer coefficients of the nanofluids are discussed comprehensively using the experimental data for graphite nanolubrication oil.

We measured the thermal conductivity of composite materials manufactured by the autoclave and vacuum bag only processes and predicted the cure behavior of the external and internal of composite parts with a cure kinetics model. The temperature difference between the external and internal depends on the processes because of the change of thermal conductivity. In the autoclave process, the temperature and cure behavior of the internal were similar to those of the external because of the high thermal conductivity. However, the temperature of the internal of the vacuum bag only process was different from that of the external. The difference can influence the part quality and evacuation of air. Compression tests were performed to find the mechanical property using 0° unidirectional specimens. The composite of the vacuum bag only process was found to have a lower compressive strength than that of the autoclave process.

In this study, an experimental study was performed to understand the boiling heat transfer characteristics of FC-72 in parallel micro-channels. The parallel micro-channels contained channels having a $0.2mm{\times}0.45mm$ [$H{\times}W$] cross section and length of 60 mm. And heat flux was varied from 16.4 to $25.6kW/m^2$ and mass fluxes from 300 to $500kg/m^2s$. The measured heat transfer coefficient was sharply decreased at lower vapor quality and then it was kept approximately constant as the vapor quality is increased. From the experimental results, the boiling heat transfer mechanism of FC-72 was confirmed and the measured heat transfer coefficient was compared and analyzed with the existing correlations to predict the heat transfer coefficient.

Heat transfer characteristics were experimentally investigated for ice slurry which was made from 6.5% ethylene glycol-water solution flowing in the circular pipe. The test section was made of a copper tube of 13.84 mm inner diameter and 1,500 mm length. The ice slurry was heated by passing hot water through an annulus surrounding the test section. The ice packing factor(IPF) and the mass flux of the experiments were varied from 0 to 25% and from 1,000 to 3,000 kg/$m^2s$ respectively at a fixed hot water temperature and flow rate. The measured heat transfer rates increase with the mass flow rate and IPF; however the effect of IPF appears to be minor at high mass flow rate. At the low mass flow rate condition, a sharp increases in the heat transfer coefficient was observed when the IPF was above 15 ~ 20%. And finally the measured heat transfer coefficients were compared with those calculated from the correlations.

To evaluate the heat removal capability of a condenser tube in the PCCS of an advanced nuclear power plant, a steam condensation experiment in the presence of noncondensable gas on a vertical tube is performed. The average heat transfer coefficient is measured on a vertical tube of 40 mm in O.D. and 1.0 m in length. The experiments covers the pressures of 2-4 bar, and the mass fraction of air ranges from 0.1 up to 0.7. From the experimental results, the effects of the total pressure and the concentration of air on the condensation heat transfer coefficient are investigated. The measured data are compared with the predictions by Uchida's and Tagami's correlations, and it is revealed that these models underestimate the condensation heat transfer coefficient of the steam-air mixture.
