A heat exchanger analysis is performed to investigate the heating characteristics of cryogenic nitrogen by ambient air for the purpose of cryogenic automotive propulsion. The heat exchanger is a concentric triple-passage for supercritical nitrogen, and the radial fins are attached on the outermost tube for the crossflow of ambient air. The temperature distribution is calculated for the nitrogen along the passage, including the real gas properties of nitrogen, the fluid convections and the conductions through the tube walls and the fins. Since the wall temperature of the outer (ambient side) tube is very low in most cases, a heavy frost can be formed on the surface, affecting the heat exchange performance. By the method of the similarity between the heat and the mass transfer of moist air, the frost growth and the time-dependent effectiveness of the heat exchanger are calculated for various operating conditions. It is concluded that the frost formation can augment the heating of nitrogen during the initial period because of the latent heat, then gradually degrades the heat exchange because of the increased thermal resistance. Practical design issues are discussed for the flow rate of nitrogen, the velocity and humidity of ambient air, and the sizes of the fin.

The objective of this paper is to provide design data of fin-tube heat exchanger which have a large diameter oval tube for dryer application. In this study, the heat transfer and pressure drop performance characteristics of the fin-tube heat exchanger were compared with Dittus-Boelter and a new correlation equation using Wilson plot method. The simulation results based on section by section method were compared with experimental results. These results showed that a new correlation equation using Wilson plot method provided better prediction, about 3 to 12%, than the Dittus-Boelter equation, from the experiment comparison. Also, the pressure drop of simulation results showed much more deviation with the experimental results.

The heat and flow characteristics in a single-phase parallel-flow heat exchanger was examined numerically to obtain its optimal shape. A response surface method was introduced to approximately predict its performance with respect to the design parameters over the design domain. The inflow/outflow angle of the working fluid, the location of inlet/outlet, the protruding height of flat tube and the height of header were chosen as a design parameter The evaluation of the relative importance of the design parameters was performed based on a sensitivity analysis. An efficiency index was used as an evaluation characteristics value to simultaneously consider both the heat transfer and the pressure drop. The efficiency index of the optimum model, compared to that of the base model, was increased by 9.3%.

The design optimization of the plate heat exchanger with staggered pin arrays for a fixed volume is performed numerically. The flow and thermal fields are assumed to be a streamwise-periodic flow and heat transfer with constant wall temperature and they are solved by using the finite volume method. The optimization is carried out by using the sequential linear programming (SLP) method and the weighting method is used for solving the multi-objective problem. The results show that the optimal design variables for the weighting coefficient of 0.5 are as follows; S=6.497mm, P=5.496mm, $D_1=0.689mm$, and $D_2=2.396mm$. The Pareto optimal solutions are also presented.

The purpose of this research is to study the utility of prediction program like a F.E.M. analysis for energy recovery of heat exchanger with heat pipe which uses arbitrary groove wick. The program is based on the utility by the experimental and applytical method of the single heat pipe. It is also expanded and applied in the prediction program of the heat exchanger. The results are as follows; 1) The effective thermal conductivity of the groove wick with arbitrary shape is counted by the thermal resistance change. 2) The more the number of rows, the more the effect energy recovery changing by the number of rows, the bigger the free velocity, the smaller the effect of energy recovery. 3) The effect of energy recovery increases according to the value of the rate of mass flow (Me/Mc) and also number of rows. 4) The comparison between calculated and data shows good agreement within 2.5% error, therefore the F.E.M. analysis of the study is useful to predict the performance of heat pipe-heat exchanger.

Purpose: The temperature in Seoul has risen 3 times more than the average global temperature increase for the past 100 years. Today, summer starts 15 days earlier than the early 20th century and is 32 days longer. This tendency causes rapid increase of cooling energy demand. Following this effect, seawater heat resources are to be used as an countermeasure for global warming. Incheon Port near the Western Sea has the lowest water temperature in the winter in South Korea in which it is suitable to use seawater cold heat resources. Method: The cold heat resource is gained from seawater when the water temperature is the lowest in the winter time and saved in a seasonal thermal storage. This can be used as cold heat resource in the summer time. A heat exchanger is essential to gain seawater cold energy. Due to this necessity, sea water heat resource heat exchangers are modeled by heat transfer equations and the fluid characteristics are analyzed. Also, a CFD (computational fluid dynamics) program is used to conduct simulation on the fluid characteristics of heat exchangers. The analyzed data of deducted from this process are comprehensively analyzed and discussed. Result: Regarding the performance of the heat exchanger, the heat exchanger was operated following the prediction within the range of heat transfer rate of minimum 3.3KW to maximum 33.6KW per device. In the temperature change analysis of the heat exchanger, fluid analysis by heat transfer equations almost corresponded to the temperature change by CFD simulation. Therefore, it is considered that the results of this study can be used as design data of heat exchangers.

The heat and flow characteristics in a parallel-flow heat exchanger were examined numerically to obtain its optimal design variables. A desirability function approach was introduced to optimize its performance with respect to the design parameters over the design domain. By varying the importance of heat transfer and pressure drop which are out put variables, the optimal values of the design parameters are examined. As a result, the us-age of the desirability function is very effective for the optimization of the design variables in a heat exchanger since the changes of optimal values are physically appropriate by varying the importance of each output variable.

This paper presents operating characteristics of internal heat exchanger(IHX) for $CO_2$ geothermal heat pump in the heating mode. Mass flow rate of $CO_2$, inlet temperatures of $CO_2$ at high and low pressure side were selected as main effect factors by using fractional factorial DOE(Design of Experiments). And RSM(Response Surface Method) was used in optimization phase. The results show that heat transfer rate of IHX increases when either inlet temperature of low pressure side decreases or inlet temperature of high pressure side increases. Effectiveness of IHX increases with increasing of inlet temperature of either high pressure side or low pressure side. Finally, performance contour map was provided over the operation ranges of the main design factors.

A new method is presented for developing a simulation program which can analyze the heat transfer characteristics of fin-tube heat exchanger. This method is able to describe several types of refrigerant circuit arrangement. The delivery path of air and refrigerant properties is simplified by transforming three-dimensional array into one-dimensional array. By comparing simulated results with experiment results, the deviation was 8.2%. Several fin-tube heat exchangers of different design factors and operating conditions were simulated using this program. It was shown that this program could be used for designing practical fin-tube heat exchangers.
