Experiments on the single phase cooling heat transfer and pressure drop with microfin tubes were performed using water as a test fluid. Experimental data were obtained in the range of Reynolds number 3000 ~40000 and Prandtl number 4-6. The data of microfin tubes presented the characteristics of rough surface tube in pressure drop and heat transfer Experimental data were compared with the heat transfer and friction factor correlations of smooth tubes. Heat transfer enhancements of microfin tubes were lower than pressure drop penalty factors. The helix angle is more significant parameter in both of the pressure drop and heat transfer than the relative roughness. The correlations of Nusselt number and friction factor were suggested for the tested microfin tubes. Maximum deviations between correlations and experimental data were within $\pm15$% for Nusselt number and $\pm10$% for friction factor.

Experimental study has been carried out on the characteristics of pressure drop and heat transfer of brazed plate heat exchangers using R-404A. Data are presented for the following range of variables: the mass flux ($20~80kg/m^2s$), chevron angle($20^{circ}C,\;35^{circ}C,\;45^{circ}C$) and inlet pressure of he refrigerant (1.4 and 1.6 MPa). for both subcooled and tow-phase flow, as chevron angle increases, pressure drop and heat transfer coefficient decrease. Condensation hat transfer coefficient and pressure drop was compared with the previously proposed correlations. Among them, Traviss correlation agreed with experimental results within -35~82% for heat transfer coefficient and -73~93% for pressure drop.

This study aims at numerically analyzing on heat transfer the characteristics and pressure drop of plate heat exchanger(PHE) using the Phoenics 3.1 VR Editor for the standard k-$\varepsilon$ model. Computations have been carried out for a range of chevron angle from $30^{\circ}$ to $60^{\circ}$, inlet velocity from 0.03m/s to 0.63m/s and the height of corrugation from 0.0045m to 0.0060m. The results show that both of heat transfer performance and pressure drop increase as chevron angle increases. This is because higher troughs produce higher turbulence and a higher heat transfer coefficient in the liquids flowing between the plates. As inlet velocity from 0.03m/s to 0.63m/s increases, heat transfer performance and pressure drop increase parabolically. As the height of corrugation increases, both of heat transfer performance and pressure drop decrease with the decrease of velocity. And the pressure drop decreases and the friction factor increases as the height of corrugation increases.

The objectives of this paper are to measure the heat transfer and pressure drop of the heat transfer tube for an evaporator of absorption system applications. Five types of heat transfer tubes with different shape and heat transfer area are tested in the present experiment. Heat transfer and pressure drop performance of heat transfer tubes are measured in various operating conditions, and compared each other. The results show that the heat transfer rate of thermoexcel notch tube and low fin tube increases about 27.6% and 11.6% at the refrigerant flow rate 250 kg/h compared with that of bare tube, respectively. The thermoexcel notch tube is shown the best performance considering pressure drop and heat transfer coefficient.

Conventionally in pulsed gas metal arc welding (GMAW-P), drop transfer is analyzed with simplest square pulse waveform. While the pulse current is described by four parameters (peak current magnitude and time plus base current magnitude and time), it deviates the real pulse shape. Real pulse can be better idealized by the trapezoidal pulse waveform described by two additional parameters, i.e., current rise and fall rate (dI/dt). Power source response rate is described by these parameters. In this work, the effect of these parameters on drop transfer is predicted by the force displacement model (FDM). While peak current has significant effects on drop detachment, drop transfer is also influenced by the current rise rate. Predictions indicate that the current rise rate can have considerable effects on the size of the detached drop if other pulse parameters are kept constant. FDM is applied to determine peak time for one drop one pulse condition (ODOP) when rests of the pulse parameters are given. The predicted range of ODOP shows good agreement with experimental data.

The present study has been conducted to investigate the effects of Reynolds number on heat/mass transfer and pressure drop characteristics in a rotating smooth two-pass duct. For stationary cases, the heat/mass transfer and pressure drop Is decreased on turning region of both leading and trailing surfaces as Reynolds number increases. For rotating cases, increment of Reynolds number affects differently the heat/mass transfer and pressure drop on the leading and trailing surfaces. In the first pass, for example, the heat/mass transfer on the leading surface is greatly increased, though the heat/mass transfer on the trailing surface is almost the same. The reason is that effect of the main flow is more dominant than effect of secondary flow. In particular, it gave decrement of the heat/mass transfer and the pressure drop at turning region and upstream region of second pass for both non-rotating and rotating cases.

The plate heat exchanger is characterized. by low pressure drop and high heat transfer coefficient. The experimental study has been performed on the condensation heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of the plate heat exchangers in this study. In the present study, a brazed type plate heat exchanger was investigated at a chevron angle of $45^{\circ},\;55^{\circ},\;and\;70^{\circ}$ with R410A. Condensation temperatures were varied from $20^{\circ}C\;and\;30^{\circ}C$, and mass flux was ranged from $13{\sim}34\;kg/m^{2}s$ with constant heat flux ($=5\;kw/m^{2}$). The heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop increased with the chevron angle. Average condensation heat transfer coefficients and pressure drops are decreased with increasing condensation tempeature.

In this paper, wafer drop from wafer guide mechanism, which is one of the serious problems in water transfer robot, is analyzed, and new wafer guide mechanisms are proposed to minimize this drop. Three types of new wafer guide mechanisms are proposed: roller type, gear type and L-shape rocker type. We choose one of the proposed mechanism, which is roller type, and verified this mechanism through real transfer experiment. Wafer picking up test is conducted with initial aligning error for simulating the wafer drop. Number of drop is compared between conventional mechanism and proposed mechanism. As a result, we can find the proposed mechanism can reduce the number of wafer drop dramatically.

This paper deals with the heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of R-290 (Propane), R-600a (Iso-butane) and R-1270 (Propylene) as an environment friendly refrigerant and R-22 as a HCFC's refrigerant for condensing. The test section is a horizontal double pipe heat exchanger. Condensing heat transfer and pressure drop measurements were Peformed for 12.70 mm micro-fin tube and compared with the results in smooth tube. The local condensing heat transfer coefficients of hydrocarbon refrigerants were superior to those of R-22 and the maximum increasing rate of heat transfer coefficient was found in R-600a. The average condensing heat transfer coefficients in hydrocarbon refrigerants showed 20 to 28% higher values than those of R-22. Hydrocarbon refrigerants have a higher pressure drop than that of R-22 with respect to refrigerant qualify and mass flux. Also, the condensing heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop of working fluids in smooth and micro-fin tube were compared. The heat transfer enhancement factor (EF) between smooth and micro-fin tube varied from 2.2 to 2.6 in all experimental conditions.

An experimental study was performed to determine the fin-side heat transfer and pressure drop of a condenser for automobile. Five sample with different fin height and louver angle were tested, 9mm, 8mm, 7.5mm, 5.4mm and 4.5mm. Results are presented as plot of Colburn j-factor(or heat transfer coefficients) and friction factor(or pressure drop) against the Reynolds number(or inlet air velocity) based on louver pitch, in the range of 110 to 480. The results show that both heat transfer and pressure drop on the fin are mainly affected by the louver angle in a lower range of air velocity, but, by the fin height in a higher range of air velocity. The performance of 5.4mm fin is the highest, compared to other fin sample.
