Numerical results are presented for the 2-dimensional turbulent transient heat transfer of the shell/tube heat exchanger with a step change of the inlet temperature in the primary side. Heat transfer boundary conditions outside the pipe are given partially by the convection heat transfer conditions and partially by insulated conditions. Calculation results were obtained by solving the unsteady two-dimensional elliptic forms for the Reynolds-averaged governing equations for the mass, momentum and energy. Finite-difference method was used to obtain discretization equations, and the SIMPLER solution algorithm was employed for the calculation procedure. Turbulent model used is the algebraic model proposed by Cebeci-Smith. Results presented include the time variant Nusselt number distribution, average temperature distribution and outlet temperatures for the various inlet temperatures and flow rates.

This study investigates the air leakage and heat transfer characteristics of a commercially available rotary-type air-to-air heat exchanger with a fiber polyester matrix. Crossover leakage between the exhaust and supply air is measured using a tracer gas method for various ventilation rates and rotational speeds of the wheel. A correlation equation for the leakage is obtained by summing up pressure leakage and carryover leakage. The pressure leakage is observed to be a function of ventilation rate only, and the carryover leakage is found to be a linear function of wheel speed. The real efficiency of the heat exchanger can be obtained from its apparent efficiency by taking into account the leakage ratio. The heat recovery efficiency decreases, as the ventilation rate increases. As the wheel speed increases, however, the efficiency increases initially but reaches a constant value for the speeds over 10rpm.

This study investigates the air leakage and heat transfer characteristics of a rotary-type air-to-air heat exchanger with a fiber polyester matrix. The leakage airflow rate is measured using a tracer gas method for various ventilation rates and rotational speeds of the matrix wheel. A correlation equation for air leakage is obtained by combining the pressure leakage and the carryover leakage. The pressure leakage is observed to be a function of ventilation airflow rate only, and the carryover leakage is found to be a linear function of rotational speed. The real efficiency of the heat exchanger can be obtained from its apparent efficiencies by taking into account the air leakage ratio.

As the rotational speed of the matrix increases, the efficiency increases initially but reaches a constant value for the rotational speeds over 10 rpm.

This study was carried out numerically to investigate the air flow and thermal performance around single and parallel fin-tube heat exchangers and the cooling performance of the fluid inside the heat exchangers. In this study, the air velocity(1~7m/s), the pitch of fin(4, 6.1, 8, 11.3, 18.3, 44mm) and the diameter of fin(31, 33, 35, 37, 39mm) were varied. The flow rate of the water at the fin-tube heat exchanger inlet is 89cc/min and the water temperature is 353K. The air temperature at the upstream region of the heat exchanger is 300K. flow rate of the water at the fin-tube heat exchanger inlet is 80cc/min and the water temperature is 353K. It was found that the air pressure drop around single and parallel fin-tube heat exchangers was highly dependent on the air velocity and the fin pitch, but was independent of the fin diameter. Also, it was shown that pressure drop increased more the parallel arrangements than in single heat exchanger. The temperature difference of water at the inlet and outlet of the heat exchanger depended on the air velocity, the fin pitch and the fin diameter, and it was found that the parallel arrangement method further reduced the temperature of water. It was shown that the Nusselt number increased as the Reynolds number and the fin pitch increased, and decreased as the fin diameter increased.

본 연구에서는 냉각매체로서 물을 이용하는 수정된 열교환법을 이용하여 45$\times$45$\times$20(mm) 크기의 사각단면 형상의 sapphire 단결정의 제조가능 조건에 대하여 조사하였다. 온도에 따른 성장로 내의 압력 변화로부터 사파이어의 용융 및 응고 과정을 추적할 수 있었으며, 이로부터 sapphire 단결정은 1970~$1960^{\circ}C$에서 응고가 완료됨을 알 수 있었다. 도가니 성형시 이루어지는 '귀'의 형태는 도가니 벽면과 접촉되지 않는 '나선형태'이어야 한다. 열유출부는 융액 내의 온도구배를 지배하며 융액내의 열유속과 씨앗 결정의 흔적은 Mo 봉의 체적 변화로서 조절할 수 있었다. 기공 형성을 억제하기 위해서는 $0.2^{\circ}C$/min 이하의 발열체의 냉각속도가 요구되었다.

Optimization of a heat exchanger with internally finned circular tubes has been performed for three-dimensional periodically fully developed turbulent flow and heat transfer. The design variables of fin number N, fin width ($d_1,d_2$) and fin height(H), are numerically optimized for the limiting conditions of $N=22{\sim}37$, $d_1=0.5{\sim}1.5$ mm, $d_2=0.5{\sim}1.5$ mm, $H=0.1{\sim}1.5$. Due to the periodic boundary conditions along main flow direction, the three layers of meshes are considered. The CFD and the mathematical optimization are coupled to optimize the heat exchanger. The flow and thermal fields are predicted using the finite volume method and the optimization is carried out by using the sequential quadratic programming (SQP) method which is widely used in the constrained nonlinear optimization problem.

The flow and the heat transfer about the cross-flow fin-tube heat exchanger in an out-door unit of a heat pump system has been numerically Investigated. Using the general purpose analysis code, FLUENT, the Navier-Stokes equations and the energy equation are solved for the three dimensional computation domain that encompasses multiple rows of the fin-tube. The temperature on the fin and tube surface is assumed constant but compensated later through the fin efficiency when predicting the heat-transfer rate. The contact resistance is also taken into consideration. The flow and temperature fields for a wide range of inlet velocity and fin-tube arrangements are examined and the results are presented in the paper. The details of the flow are very well captured and the heat transfer rate for a range of inlet velocity is in excellent agreement with the measured data. The flow solution provides the effective permeability and the inertial resistance factor of the heat exchanger if the exchanger were to be approximated by the porous medium. This information is essential in carrying out the global flow field calculation which, in turn, provides the inlet velocity lot the microscopic temperature-field calculation of the heat exchanger unit.

The present work aims to determine the overall pressure losses in the shell from the point of entry of the fluid to the outlet point of fluid of shell and tube heat exchanger. The main contribution of the present work is concerned with calculating the pressure drop in the interior section and window section. Shell-side flow velocity distributions have been evaluated. We assume that the shell-side fluid is turbulent. The calculation procedure is based upon the Delaware method. Evaluation of pressure drop on the shell side will be helpful for a designer or manufacturer of a heat exchanger.

An experimental study on the behavior of the water hold-up by spraying of a fin-and-tube heat exchanger with regard to the surface characteristics, i.e., contact angles, was conducted. The dynamic contact angles (DCA) were measured, and water hold-up by spraying (WHS) was conducted in the experiment. It is found that heat exchanger surface characteristics, spray pressure, spray water temperature and heat exchanger surface temperature play an important role in WHS. In order to evaluate relationship between WHS and surface characteristics, test conditions are determined through a contour analysis. A correlation was proposed to predict WHS as a function of DCA. With its test efficiency and consuming time, the prediction method can be used to evaluate WHS performance.
