A reversed trapezoidal fin with variable lateral surface slope is optimized using a two-dimensional analytic method. For a fin base boundary condition, convection from the inside fluid to the inside wall and conduction from the inside wall to the fin base are considered. Heat loss from the fin tip surface is not ignored. The maximum heat loss at the practical fin length, the corresponding optimum fin efficiency, fin length and fin base height are presented as a function of the fin inside and outside convection characteristic numbers. One of the results shows that the optimum fin shape becomes 'fatter and shorter' as the ratio of fin tip height to base height increases.

A trapezoidal fin with various lateral surface slopes is designed optimally by using one-dimensional analytic method. For four different convection characteristic numbers, the trend of heat loss as a function of fin tip length is shown. The optimum heat loss is somewhat arbitrarily chosen as 92% of the maximum heat loss. The optimum fin length corresponding to this optimum heat loss versus convection characteristic number is presented. The optimum effectiveness and specific effectiveness is presented as a function fin shape factor.

The temperature distribution of an asymmetric trapezoidal fin with various upper lateral surface slopes is investigated by using the two-dimensional analytic method. For this asymmetric fin, convection from the inner fluid to the inner wall, conduction from the inner wall to the fin base and conduction through the fin base are considered simultaneously. The temperature profile with the variation of dimensionless fin length and height coordinates is shown. Also, the temperature variation at the bottom tip of the fin is presented as a function of the fin shape factor. Heat losses through the fin base and from each side are compared for variations in fin length. One of the results shows that temperature at the fin bottom tip decreases linearly as the fin shape factor increases.

Two dimensional analysis on the triangular fin for both the insulated fin tip and non-insulated fin tip and one dimensional analysis on that when the temperature of the fin tip is finite are made. The effect of the fin tip is shown by comparing the heat loss from the fin and the temperature along the fin length varing the non-dimensional fin length and Biot number for each three cases. The results are following. When the non-dimensional fin length is very short, the relative error of the heat loss from the fin with insulated fin tip to that from the fin with non-insulated fin tip is very high. The value of the temperature variation along the non-dimensional fin length is minimum for the finite fin tip temperature using one dimensional analysis and is maximum for the insulated fin tip using two dimensional anaysis.

Performance of the asymmetric trapezoidal fin with various upper lateral surface slopes is investigated by using the two-dimensional analytic method. For a fin base boundary condition, convection from the inner fluid to the inner wall, conduction from the inner wall to the fin base and conduction through the fin base are considered. Heat loss and fin efficiency are represented as a function of the fin base thickness, base height, inner fluid convection characteristic number, fin tip length and fin shape factor. One of the results shows that heat loss increases while fin efficiency decreases as the fin shape factor increases.

유전체 모세관을 이용한 해수에서의 펄스고전압 방전 특성을 연구하였다. 내경 1, 2, 3 mm의 구멍이 뚫린 Quartz 블럭에 외경 1, 2, 3 mm의 SUS 핀을 삽입하였고 삽입된 핀의 끝이 해수에 담구어 지도록 하여 고전압 방전을 발생 시켰다. 인가된 펄스 고전압은 5 kHz의 반복 주파수를 가지며, Pulse 폭을 $1{\sim}2.5{\mu}sec$까지 변화 시켜 전압전류 파형과 방전양상을 살펴 보았다. 방전은 펄스폭 변화에 따라 전해전도 전류에 의한 모세관 가열, 모세관내 미세기포형성, 기포내의 코로나 방전 개시 그리고 글로우 또는 아크방전으로 발전하는 것을 확인하였다. 모세관의 길이는 각각의 구경에 대하여 5 mm, 10 mm 두 가지로 변화하여 실험하였고, 모세관 길이 10 mm 조건에서는 방전이 매우 불안정 하였다. 각각의 방전조건별로 1~5분간 방전을 진행하여 해수내의 유리염소의 농도 변화를 살펴본 결과 방전모드가 글로우 또는 아크 방전 모드에서 단위 에너지당 유리염소 발생 수율이 큰 폭으로 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Extensive experiments were carried out to investigate the mass transfer and flow structures around a circular cylinder with annular fins in crossflow. The naphthalene sublimation method was employed to measure the circumferential and longitudinal variations of mass transfer from the circular cylinder between annular fins and H is the height of the fin from the cylinder surface. A remarkable enhancement of mass transfer due to the horseshoe vortices was observed near the corner junction between the annular fin and circular cylinder. The present results indicate that the local circumferential Sherwood number shows the higher values on the front stagnation point. The maximum augmentation of mass transfer rate at the center of cylinder is found near L/H-0.15 due to the separation bubble along the annular fins. The secondary flows, which are the corner vortices V2 and V3 near the end wall of the annular fin, are fairly predicted from the distributions of local Sherwood number in the spanwise direction. The average Sherwood number of overall surface at L/H=0.15 is larger 2.0 times than that of without annualr fins. The correlations of total average mass transfer rate with L/H and Re$_{L}$ can also be obtained.d.
