In this study, the wet surface heat transfer coefficients and friction factors of PF heat exchangers are presented. Two sample with different fin pitch(1.25mm, 1.5mm) were tested. Tests were conducted in a open loop wind tunnel. The wet surface heat transfer coefficient was reduced following the procedure given in ARI 410-81. Results showed that the heat transfer coefficients of the heat exchanger with 1.5mm fin pitch were approximately the same as those with 1.25mm fin pitch, except at low reynolds number(Re<100), where the heat transfer coefficients of 1.5mm fin pitch were slighly higher than those with 1.25mm fin pitch. The friction factors of the 1.25mm fin pitch, however was 120 % to 160 % higher than those of the 1.5mm fin pitch. The wet surface heat transfer coefficients were lower than those of the dry surface. The wet surface friction factors, however, were higher than those of the dry surface.

An experimental investigation was performed to observe the cooling performance of cutting oil and the effect of inclination angle on the transport behaviour of a inclined thermosyphons with low integral-fins. Relatively high rates of heat transfer have been achieved by operating this manner. Water has been used as the working fluid. The inclimation angle of thermoryphon and the ratio of Reynolds number of cooling to hot fluid have been used as the experimental parameters. Heat transfer coefficients at the condenser and the evaporator are estimated from experimental results. The experimental results have been assessed and compared with existing theory. Good agreement with the theory of Yiwei has been found. The maximum heat flow rate in the thermosyphon proved to depend upon the inclination angle.

The Combustion gas behavior induced by fire in a building is numerically investigated. The typical building for this analysis is partially divided by a vertical baffle projecting from the ceiling. The solution procedure includes the low Reynolds number ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ model for the turbulent flow and the discrete ordinates method is used for the calculation of radiative heat transfer equation. The effects of the location and size of fire source and baffle length on velocity and temperature distributions, species mass fraction and flame location are analyzed. As the results of this study, it is found that the case when the fire source is located at the vertical wall is more dangerous than at the bottom wall in view of the combustion products and flame location. It is also found that the radiation effect cannot be neglected in analyzing the building in fire.

We have introduced a new version of the 3-D lid-driven cavity problem that leads to more complicated fluid parcel trajectories and thus, enhanced mixing, but at the same time weakens corner singularities. We employed an advanced form of LES to solve this problem and presented preliminary results that show very complicated streamline structures on both large and small scales, despite a relatively low Reynolds number. Finally, we demonstrated moderate speedups via parallelization. Ongoing tests are expected to resolve the questions raised regarding possible sources of the rather poor parallel performance compared with that seen in earlier studies with the same code. Because it is expected that findings may be significant for parallel performance in general, we plan to emphasize this aspect in the oral presentation the Parrel (CFD 2006 Conference.

Numerical simulation for the axisymmetric body with contractive and dilative periodic motion is carried out. The present analysis shows that a propulsive force can be obtained in highly viscous fluid by the contractive and dilative motion of axisymmetric body. An axisymmetric code is developed with unstructured grid system for the simulation of complicated motion and geometry. It is validated by comparing with the results of Stokes approximation with the problem of uniform flow past a sphere in low Reynolds number($R_n$ = 1). The validated code is applied to the simulation of contractive and dilative periodic motion of body whose results are quantitatively compared with the two dimensional case. The simulation is extended to the analysis of waving surface with projecting part for finding out the difference of hydrodynamics performance according to variation of waving surface configuration. The present study will be the basic research for the development of the propulsor of an axisymmetric micro-hydro-machine.

In Part I, we extended the capability of the Goore Scheme for application to multi-dimensional problems and improved convergence performance. In this paper, we apply the improved Goore Scheme to th e control of turbulence for drag reduction. Direct numerical simulations combined with the control scheme are carried out to simulate a controlled turbulent channel flow at low Reynolds number. The wall blowing and suction is applied through the Goore algorithm using the total drag as feedback. An optimum distribution of the wall blowing and suction in terms of the wall-shear stresses in the spanwise and streamwise directions is sought. The best case reduces drag by more than 20 %.

Numerical calculations of turbulent natural convection in an enclosure of the 20 kYA oil-immersed transformer model are presented. The transformer is modelled as two concentric cylinders with different heights and diameters. The thermal boundary layers are well represented in the temperature distributions along the wall of the transformer model. The flow stratification between the hot and cold walls can not be seen in the transformer model. The turbulence eddy viscosity has its maximum at the center of the core and its maximum values at the top of the core are larger than those at the bottom of the core.

A numerical analysis has been conducted to study the transient flowfield during the transition from the booster to sustainer phase in an integrated rocket ramjet (IRR) propulsion system. Emphasis is placed on the unsteady inlet aerodynamics, fuel/air mixing in an entire ramjet engine during the flow transient phase. The computational geometry consists of the entire IRR engine, including the inlet, the combustion chamber, and the exhaust nozzle. Turbulence closure is achieved using a low-Reynolds-number two-equation model. The governing equations are solved numerically by means of a finite-volume, preconditioned flux-differencing scheme over a wide range of Mach umber. Various important physical processes are investigated systemically, including terminal shock train.

In this study, pressure drop and heat transfer characteristics of plain finned heat exchangers having 5.0 mm diameter (fin collar 5.3 mm) tubes were investigated. Six samples having different fin pitches (1.1 to 1.3 mm) and tube rows (1 and 2 row) were tested. The fin pitch had a negligible effect on j and f factors. Both j and f factors decreased as the number of tube row increased, although the difference was not significant for the f factor. When compared with the j and f factors of the samples having 7.3 mm diameter tubes, the present j and f factors yielded lower values. However, the j/f ratio was larger at low Reynolds numbers. Possible reasoning is provided from the flow pattern consideration. Comparison with existing correlations were made.

This computational investigation of micro-sized particle dispersion concerns the fume particle contamination over target surface in high-precision laser line machining process of semiconductor and display device materials. Employing the random sampling based on probabilistic fume particle generation distributions, the effects of sphericity for nonspherical fume particles are analyzed for the fume particle dispersion and contamination near the laser machining line. The drag coefficient correlation for nonspherical particles in a low Reynolds number regime is selected and utilized for particle trajectory simulations after drag model validation. When compared to the corresponding results by the assumption of spherical fume particles, the sphericity of nonspherical fume particles show much less dispersion and contamination characteristics and it also significantly affects the particle removal rate in a suction air flow patterns.
