In this paper, we present that now and heat transfer characteristics of oscillatory impinging jet which have been numerically investigated using parallel computations. Numerical value were obtained for dimensionless distance H=4, dimensionless outlet length L=45 and Reynolds number Re= 1500. It was found that the oscillatory impinging jet generated the regular heat transfer area even though the maximum heat transfer is lower than nonoscillatory impinging jet. We also found that heat transfer depends on the period of nozzle for the oscillatory impinging jet.

The purpose of this paper is to study heat transfer characteristics of rotating heat pipe with tapered condensers by numerical analysis and experimental method. An experimental investigation has been carried out on thermal resistance between condenser wall and vapor region fo the rotating heat pipe with various taper 0, 1/11.4, 1/38. Heat transfer characteristics by analytical study were applied to describe various Nu numbers on the base of dimensionless condensate film, Re and Pr numbers in both condensers. Comparison between calculated results and experimental data showed qualitatively good agreement and the numerical analysis of this study can be utilized to predict the performance of a rotating heat pipe. The thermal resistance can be decreased by increasing the revolution per minute. Regardless of various dimensionless condensate film, Nu number was largely influenced by saturation temperatures of working fluid.

The optimum dimple shape and arrangement in the channel of a plate heat exchanger with staggered dimples are proposed in this study. Four important geometric parameters are selected as design variables, the pressure drop and heat transfer characteristics are examined in the channel of plate heat exchangers. The optimization is accomplished by minimizing the global criterion function which consists of the correlations of Nusselt number and pressure drop. The optimum geometric parameters were found at the dimensionless dimple distance (L) of 0.272, the dimensionless dimple angle ($\beta$) of 0.44, the dimensionless dimple volume (V) of 0.106 and the dimensionless dimple pitch (G) of 0.195. It is found that the heat transfer and pressure drop of the optimum model are increased by approximately 227.9% and 32.9%, respectively, compared to those of the base model.

In this work energy and entransy characteristics of heat exchangers are analyzed for 12 different flow arrangements of heat exchangers. The dimensionless parameters are number of entransy dissipation (Ng), number of entransy dissipation-based thermal resistance (Nr), and entransy dissipation-based effectiveness of heat-exchanger (εg). The dimensionless parameters are expressed analytically in terms of the effectiveness of heat exchanger (ε), heat capacity ratio (c), and number of transfer unit (N) for optimal performance of heat exchangers. Results showed that the dimensionless parameters based on the entransy dissipation can be useful concepts for optimal design of heat exchangers.

In this paper, we present the flow and heat transfer characteristics with the array of impinging jet nozzles by using the numerical computation and experiment. Numerical solutions were obtained for dimensionless gap H=6, dimensionless outlet length L=10 and Reynolds number Re=1500 by using the commercial CFD code, CFX-5. Experimental and numerical results were agreed well with each other. It was found that the impinging jet with circular array nozzles generated the uniform heat transfer area and the maximum heat transfer is higher than rectangular array nozzles for certain parameter sets. It is one of the most important utilities providing steam to turbine in order to supply mechanical energy in thermal power plant. It is composed of thousands of tubes for high efficient heat transfer.

A numerical study has been performed to obtain the air-side flow and heat transfer characteristics for a two-row lanced finned tube heat exchanger with 7 mm tube outer diameter. The increases of dimensionless local heat flux at the leading edge of slit and bottom surface of the fin were noticed. The temperature of air at downstream of the 2nd row of the lanced fin becomes more uniform than that of the plain fin because the mixing of energy increases by the slit and the side-slit. As the inlet velocity increases, the contribution of the 1st row to heat transfer decreases and that of 2nd row increases.

A heat transfer model for the case of simultaneous vibration of both the heated surface and its surrounding medium is constructed and the dimensional analysis is applied to this model in order to and the governing dimensionless Parameters in which the vibration effects the heat transfer. In the second Part of this study, an experimental investigation of the effect of vibration on natural convective heal transfer from spheres has been performed for the case of the external oscillatory motion being imposed on the heated surface which is immersed in an otherwise undisturbed air, The ranges of the experimental variables were: temperature difference 10 to $120^{\circ}C$; vibration frequency 10 to 120Hz; displacement amplitude 1.3 to 12.5mm. Three different diameter aluminum were used as the experimental models. Improvements in heat transfer due to vibration were observed, with the maximum increase being 330 Percent. A dimensionless correlation describing the measured heat transfer data is given.

An experimental study of jet impingement on the surface with linear temperature gradient is conducted with the presentation of the turbulent characteristics and the heat transfer rates measured when this jet impinges normally to a flat plate. The jet Reynolds number ranges from 30,000 to 90,000, the temperature gradient of the plate is 2~$4.2^{\circ}C$/cm and the dimensionless nozzle to plate distance(H/D) is from 6 to 10. The results show that the peak of heat transfer rate occurs at the stagnation point, and the heat transfer rate decreases as the radial distance from the stagnation point increases. A remarkable feature of the heat transfer rate is the existence of the second peak. This is due to the turbulent development of the wall jet. Maximum heat transfer rate occurs when the axial distance from the nozzle to nozzle diameter(H/D) is 8. The heat transfer rate can be correlated as a power function of Prandtl number, Reynolds number and the dimensionless nozzle to plate distance(H/D). It has been found that the heat transfer rate increases with increasing turbulent intensity.

In a previous work of the authors, the heat and mass transfer in a desiccant rotor was analyzed theoretically through linearization assumptions and four dimensionless parameter groups dominating the dehumidification process were arranged. In this work is verified whether the four dimensionless parameters also play the dominant roles in more realistic situations where the nonlinear factors affect the heat and mass transfer. The results show that the dehumidification characteristics are closely similar to each other as long as the four dimensionless parameters have the same set of values while the rotor configurations and/or the operation conditions are different from each other. The four dimensionless parameters are $\Psi,\;\chi,\;\sigma$ and N, where $\Psi$ implies the average gradient of relative humidity lines in the psychrometric chart, $\chi$ the heat capacity of the rotor and $\sigma$ the sorption capacity of the rotor, and N implies the number of transfer unit.
