This study is related with the experimental investigation on the heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of the fin-and-tube heat exchangers with three different interrupted fins and a plane fin for air-conditioning application. Experiments were conducted accordingly following the appropriate development process. Geometry similitude experiment was introduced to predict the performance of fins, and prototype experiment was also performed to confirm the validity of geometry similitude experimental results. However, these experimental results were limited to the sensible heat transfer characteristics of the heat exchangers. Hence, additional experiment was performed using refrigerant to investigate the latent heat transfer characteristics. This paper presents an appropriate process for the development of a new type heat exchanger. Sensible and latent heat transfer characteristics for each fin configuration is also provided along with the optimal fin configuration.

In recent years, air-conditioning units designed with higher efficiency and more compactness are required due to emphasis on energy efficiency in home electrical appliances. This trend in the air-conditioning industries has accelerated the development of improved heat exchanger with a better performance in heat transfer aspects. In this study, experiments were performed to investigate the shape and configuration of fins affecting on the performance of the conventional fin-and-tube type heat exchanger equipped in a commercial air conditioners. The geometry similtude method was employed to measure the heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop. Experimental results show that this method is very useful to analyze the heat transfer characteristics of the fin-and-tube type heat exchanger. It is also found that the slit fin has better performance than the conventional fin type in the air conditioners. The present results indicate that heat transfer from the fin si influenced by the parameters such as the forming area of the slit fin, the type of interrupted surfaces like a louver or slit, slit patterns and slit raised direction, and it also affects the overall heat exchanger performance.

This study is to systematically analyze the effect of various kinds of design parameters on heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of heat exchanger with a slit fin. TAGUCHI method, known to us as a very reasonable tool in the parametric study, is employed in the present work. Experimental factors have been limited to seven cases, considering the production of sample and the cost. The 18 kinds of large scale models are made by compounding level on each factor and the heat transfer and flow characteristics on each model has been analyzed. The present results allow us to be able to quantitatively estimate the various parameters affecting the heat exchanger performance, and main factors for an optimum design of a heat exchanger have been selected. The optimum design value on each parameter was presented and the reproducibility on the results was guaranteed.

지진에 의한 사회기반 구조물의 손상은 대형참사를 유발할 가능성이 크므로, 적절한 내진성능평가가 이루어져야한다. 특히 지진하중 하에서 구조물의 거동은 상부 하중을 지탱하는 기둥의 거동에 지배되므로 기둥에 대한 해석 및 실험을 통한 내진성능평가는 가장 핵심적인 요소이다. 현재 내진성능평가 실험의 일환으로 준정적실험, 유사동적실험, 진동대실험 등이 대표적으로 수행되고 있으며 이러한 실험을 수행 시 시험체의 크기, 실험장비 성능의 한계, 경제적인 이유 등으로 원형 구조물을 대신하여 축소모형을 통해 실험을 수행하고 있다. 이러한 축소모형실험을 위해서는 적절한 상사법칙을 적용해야 하는데, 현재 일반적으로 적용되고 있는 상사법칙은 탄성범위 내에서 유도가 되어 있기 때문에 지진하중하 구조물의 비탄성 거동을 예측하는데 무리가 있다. 또한 마이크로콘크리트를 사용한 축소모형에 대해서는 필연적으로 재료특성에 있어서 원형재료와 축소모형재료 사이에 왜곡이 발생하여 결과의 신뢰성에 영향을 주게된다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 재료의 왜곡과 비탄성 거동을 고려하여 새로운 상사법칙을 제시하였다.
