Plate heat exchangers have been widely used in various fields because of their high heat transfer coefficients, small area of installation, and ease of maintenance compared to other heat exchangers. However, when plate heat exchanger is used for a long time, leak can occur due to inner crack. Therefore, it is important to understand the inner flow characteristics in plate heat exchangers. In this study, the inner flow characteristics and flow rate of plate heat exchanger were evaluated using various flow directions, pin-hole sizes, and Reynolds numbers. In downflow, initially most water flowed to the opposite of the inlet due to distribution region. Then it gradually had a uniform distribution due to chevron configuration. In upflow, it had a uniform flow consistently due to the dominant gravity effect. As the Reynolds number increased, the leak rate was decreased due to the inertia effect regardless of the flow direction.

The purpose of this study is to establish the predictive method of welding distortion and residual stress for the channel I butt SA (submerged arc) weldment using FEA. In order to do it, the heat input model for the weldment was defined as the combined heat source with the surface heat flux of gaussian distribution and volumetric heat source uniformly distributed within weld groove by comparing the shapes of molten pool and temperature distribution obtained by FEA with those of experiments. The arc efficiency of SA welding for two-dimensional FE analysis was evaluated as 0.85. The welding distortion and residual stress of the weldment obtained by FEA and heat input model proposed have a good agreement with those obtained by experiment. Based on the results, it was suggested that the proper heat input model should be required to evaluate the welding distortion for weldment.

In the present study, natural convection over a heat sink with a horizontal circular base and rectangular fins was numerically analyzed. To calculate natural convection heat transfer, the assumptions of ideal gas and laminar flow were made for air. Flow patterns around the heat sink were chimney-like. The resultant temperature distribution on the circular base appeared almost uniform. Parametric studies were performed to compare the effects of fin length, fin height, the ideal number of fins, and heat flux on the average temperature of a heat sink and the average heat transfer coefficient from the heat sink array. Correlation to predict the average Nusselt number was presented.

A series of experiments was conducted to examine characteristics of a grooved flat-strip heat pipe having multiple heat sources. The inner grooves of the heat pipe have the aspect ratio of 1 to $2.5(0.42{\times}1.05$ mm) whose pitch was 0.6 mm. Four block heaters ($10{\times}20$ mm) were placed in the evaporator section at intervals of 20 mm and six different heating modes were tested. The maximum surface heat flux of 80 $W/cm^2$ was achieved while the operating temperature was kept below $100^{\circ}C$, In the nearest heating mode (from the condenser location), the heat pipe exhibited more stable temperature distribution than the far heating mode where the heaters is located furthest from the condenser.

A conjugate conduction-convection analysis has been made for a plate fin which exchanges heat with its fluid environment by forced convection. The analysis is based on a one- dimensional model for the plate fin whereby the transient heat conduction equation for the fin is solved simultaneously with the conservation equations for mass, momentum, and energy in the fluid boundary layer adjacent to the fin. The forced convection heat transfer coefficient is not specified in advance but is one the results of the numerical solutions. Numerical results of the overall heat transfer rate, the local heat transfer coefficient, the local heat flux, the fin efficiency and the fin surface temperature distribution for Pr=0.7 are presented for a wide range of operating conditions.

In this work, a mathematical heat transfer model of a walking-beam type reheating furnace that can predict the formation and growth of the scale layer, which is produced due to oxidative reaction between the furnace oxidizing atmosphere and the steel surface in the reheating furnace, has been developed. The model can also predict the heat flux distribution within the furnace and the temperature distribution in the slab and scale throughout the reheating furnace process by considering the heat exchange between the slab and its surroundings in the furnace, including radiant heat transfer among the slabs, the skids, the hot gases and the furnace wall as well as the gas convection heat transfer in the furnace. Using the model developed in this work, the effects of the scale layer on the heat transfer characteristics and temperature behavior of the slab is investigated. A comparison is also made between the predictions of the present model and the data from an in situ measurement in the furnace, and a reasonable agreement is founded.

This paper presents the numerical thermal analysis for regeneratively cooled rocket thrust chambers. An integrated numerical model incorporates computational fluid dynamics for the hot-gas thermal environment, and thermal analysis for the liner and coolant channels. The flow and temperature fields in rocket thrust chambers is assumed to be axisymmetric steady state which is presumed to the combustion liner. The heat flux computed from nozzle flow is used to predict the temperature distribution of the combustion liner. As a result, we present the wall temperature of combustion liner and the temperature change of coolant.

To enhance isothermal characteristics of glass-farming surface, a rectangular parallelepiped heat pipes was fabricated, tested, and analyzed. The working fluid was sodium and the wall material was stainless steel 304. The dimension of the heat pipe was 210 (L) $\times$ 140(W) $\times$ 92(H)mm. A lattice structure covered with screen mesh was inserted to promote return of working fluid. The bottom side of heat pipe was heated electrically and the top side was cooled by liquid circulation. The temperature distribution at the bottom surface was of major concern and was monitored to determine isothermal characteristics. A frozen start-up of rectangular parallelepiped liquid metal heat pipe was tested. The operating mode of the sodium heat pipe was affected by the temperature of cooling zone, input heat flux, and the operating temperature of heat pipe. The heat pipe operated in a normal fashion as long as the heat flux was over 5.78W/cm$^2$, and the inside wall temperature of condenser part was above 95$^{\circ}C$ The maximum temperature difference at the bottom surface was observed to be 32$^{\circ}C$ when the operating temperature of the heat pipe was operating normally around 50$0^{\circ}C$. The result showed that a sodium heat pipe was very effective in reducing significantly the temperature difference in the glass-forming surface.

In this paper, the thermoelastic interactions in a two-dimension porous body are studied. This problem is solved by using the Green and Lindsay (GL) generalized thermoelasticity model under fractional time derivative. The derived approaches are estimated. with numeral results which are applied to the porous mediums in simplifying geometrical. The bounding plane surface of the present half-space continuum is subjected to a pulse heat flux. We use the Laplace-Fourier transforms methods with the eigenvalues approach to solve the problem. The numerical solutions for the field functions are obtained numerically using the numerical Laplace inversion technique. The effects of the fractional parameter and the thermal relaxation times on the temperature field, the displacement field, the change in volume fraction field of voids distribution and the stress fields have been calculated and displayed graphically and the obtained results are discussed.

In many combustion systems, swirling combustion air is extensively applied as an aid for stabilization of high intensity combustion pocesses. Swirl, generally, causes significant effects on the flow field which, in turn, determines the size, shape, and stability of flames, and combustion intensity. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of swirls on flames produced from a model combustor designed in this paper. In order to impart swirls to the combustion air, a movable block swirl generator was used. Temperature distribution and radiative heat flux along the centerline of the swirling flame were measured. Data obtained from these swirl flows can be used as design data for high intensity or high efficiency combustion systems. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. Flame temperature profiles were measured at various swirl number. 2. The axial distance for maximum temperature from the centerline of burner increased as the swirl number increased. 3. Radiative heat flux increased as the swirl number and axial distance from burner increased.
