In this work, we study a heat transfer enhancement technology using fan-shaped small-scale fins. Fins having a thickness of 10 ${\mu}m$ move up-down by a pulsating flow. Owing to these motions, the heat transfer on a surface increases dramatically. The two-way FSI (fluid-structure interaction) method was applied for the analysis, and the analysis model was evaluated using a single fin model by comparing the experimental results. In summary, a maximum 40% increase in heat transfer capacity using a single and multiple small-scale fins was obtained in comparison with the results obtained without using fins. From this work, we believe that the proposed method can be a promising method for heat transfer enhancement in real applications.

Natural convection heat transfer experiments from two parallel horizontal cylinders were performed varying the Pitch-to-Diameter ratio (P/D) of 1.02-9 at Sc of 2,014 to 8,334 and $Ra_D$ of $1.5{\times}10^8$ to $4.5{\times}10^{10}$. Mass transfer experiments that are analogous to the heat transfer experiments were performed using copper electroplating system. In all cases, the measured heat transfer rates for the lower cylinder agreed well with the existing heat transfer correlations developed from a single cylinder. For laminar flows, the measured heat transfer rates of the upper cylinder were less than those of the lower cylinder at P/D less than about 1.5. However, as the P/D increased, the heat transfer rates of the upper cylinder increased. For turbulent flows, the heat transfer rates of the upper cylinder were considerably similar to those of the lower cylinder when the P/D is approximately unity. In contrast, as the P/D increased, the heat transfer rates of the upper cylinder were always higher than those of the lower cylinder.

This study measured the natural-convection heat transfer of two vertically staggered cylinders with varying vertical pitch-to-diameter ($P_v$/D) and horizontal pitch-to-diameter ($P_h$/D) ratios. The measured heat-transfer rates for the lower cylinder agreed well with the existing heat-transfer correlations for a single cylinder. At the smallest $P_v$/D, the rising plume from the lower cylinder provides the upper cylinder with a preheated flow, and the heat-transfer rates of the upper cylinder decrease, but increase very sensitively with $P_h$/D. However, at the largest $P_v$/D, the velocity effect dominates, and the heat-transfer rates of the upper cylinder are larger than that of a single cylinder, and decrease less sensitively with $P_h$/D. Even if $P_h$/D is increased, the heat-transfer rate of the upper cylinder is higher than that of the lower cylinder because of the chimney and side flow effects. This work expanded the flow ranges to turbulent flows. The cupric acid-copper sulfate ($H_2SO_4-CuSO_4$) electroplating system was adopted for the measurements of the mass-transfer rates instead of the heat-transfer experiments based on the analogy concept. The measurements were made by varying $P_v$/D (1.02-5) and $P_h$/D (0-2) in both laminar and turbulent flows. The Rayleigh number ranged from $1.5{\times}10^8$ to $2.5{\times}10^{10}$, and the Prandtl number was 2,014.

Let B(z) be a power series with operator coefficients where multiplication by B(z), T, is a contractive and everywhere defined transforamtion in the square summable power series. Then there is a Julia operator U for T such that $$ U = (T D)(\tilde{D}^* L) \in B(H \oplus D, K \oplus \tilde{D}), $$ where D is the state space of a conjugate canonical linear system with transfer function B(z).

In the previous study, it is proved by numerical simulation that the baffle shaped as the porous plate installed in the inlet chambers improves the redistribution of the flow injecting to the tube bundles. In the present study, numerical simulation has been performed to investigate the effects of the flow distributors on the thermal characteristics of the shell and tube heat exchangers. The flow fields have been analysed by the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes solvers including the thermal conditions on the shell sides. The numerical results showed that the presence of the baffles improves the redistribution of the heat transfer to the tube bundles though the overall performance drop slightly on the present flow conditions.

The heat transfer phenomenon was investigated in this study when a circular water jet with low velocity flows to the downward facing heated circular plate and against the direction of gravity. Data are presented for jet flow rate between 0.23 and 2.3 l/min, jet fluid temperature of 24$^{\circ}C$, heat fluxes between 345 and 687 W/m$^2$, H/D=1, 2 and 3 with a single round jet diameter 2mm. The effects of heat flux, jet velocity and H/D on the local heat transfer are investigated in for the various regions of jet impingement. The local heat transfer distributions are analyzed based on the visualization of jet flow field. Data from experimental results are correlated by expressions of the form Nu=0.01$Re^{0.58}{\cdot}Pr^{0.4}$.

To investigate pool boiling heat transfer in a vertical annulus with closed bottoms, the length of an outer tube was varied between 0.3 and 0.6 m. For the test, a heated tube of 0.2-m length and 19.1-mm diameter and water at atmospheric pressure were used. To elucidate the effects of the outer tube length on heat transfer, the results for the annulus were compared with data for a single unrestricted tube. The increase in the outer tube length resulted in an increase or decrease in heat transfer depending on the gap size. This tendency is mainly attributed to the difference in the intensity of liquid agitation.

A qualitative and quantitative analysis on flame dynamics is required to model combustion instability characteristics in gas turbine lean premixed combustors. The current paper shows the flame transfer function modeling results using CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) techniques for the flame dynamics study. It is generally known that flame shapes determine the basic characteristics of the flame transfer function. The comparisons of the modeled flame shapes with the measured ones were made using the optimized heat transfer conditions. Modeling results of the flame transfer function show the close behaviors to the measured data with a reasonable accuracy if the flame geometry can be exactly captured.

The rate constants for the following vibration-to-vibration energy exchange reactions have been calculated theoretically for the temperature range from 300 to 800K and for n = 2 to 5. HF(v=n) + DF(v=0) ${\to}$ HF(v=n-l) + DF(v=l) + ${\Delta}E$(a) DF(v=n) + HF(v=0) ${\to}$ DF(v=n-l) + HF(v=l) + ${\Delta}E$(b) In calculation the loosely-held, non-rigid dimer collision model and semiclassical method have been employed. The results show that the rate constants for the processes (a) are much greater than those for the processes (b). Also, it is found that the rate constants for the processes (a) increase with decreasing temperature and with increasing quantum number, while those for the processes (b) show the opposite tendencies. These findings are explained in terms of the sign and magnitude of the energy mismatch, ${\Delta}E$.

Natural convection heat transfer phenomena on a horizontal cylinder have been studied experimentally in order to investigate the applicability of analogy experimental methodology using a copper electroplating system and to visualize the local heat transfer rates depending on the angular position and the diameter of the horizontal cylinder. In the copper electroplating system, the copper ion produced at the anode moves by convection and diffusion to the cathode and reduces at the cathode, representing the heat transfer. By using aluminum cathode with a distinguishable color, the amount of copper plated could visualize the amount of heat transferred depending on the angular position of the cylinder. The diameter of the cylinder is varied from 0.01m to 0.15m, which correspond to Rayleigh numbers in the range of $1.73{\times}10^7$ to $5.69{\times}10^{11}$. The test results are in good agreement with existing heat transfer correlations.
