This study examined the natural convection heat flow characteristics of the melting process of PCM (palm oil) inside a liquid flexitank(bag) for a cargo container. A film heating element was installed on the bottom of the container, and numerical analysis was performed under heat flux conditions of 1,000 to 4,000 W/m². As a result, the melt interface of the PCM rises to a nearly horizontal state over time. In the initial stage, conduction heat transfer dominates, but gradually waves at the cell flow and melt interfaces are formed due to natural convection heat transfer. As melting progresses, the Ra number increases parabolically, and the Nu number increases linearly and has a constant value. The Nu number rises slowly under low heat flux conditions, whereas under high heat flux conditions, the Nu number rises rapidly. As the heat flux increases, the internal temperature oscillation of the liquid phase after melting increases. However, under high heat flux conditions, excess heat exceeding the latent heat is generated, and the temperature of the molten liquid is raised, so the increase in melting rate decreases. Therefore, the appropriate heating element specification applied to a 20-ton palm oil container is 2,000 W/m².

본 연구에서는 $45^{\circ}$기울어진 저온의 사각형 밀폐계 내부에 존재하는 고온의 원형 실린더의 위치 변화에 따른 밀폐계 내부 자연대류 현상에 대한 수치해석을 수행하였다. Rayleigh 수는 $10^3$부터 $10^5$까지 변화하였으며 내부 실린더의 위치는 $-0.4{\leq}{\delta}{\leq}0.4$ 범위에서 0.1 간격으로 변화시켰다. 원형 실린더의 위치 변화에 따른 밀폐계 내부의 자연대류 현상은 실린더 표면과 밀폐계 표면의 Nu 수, 밀폐계 내부의 등온선 및 유선을 바탕으로 분석하였다. 본 연구에서 고려한 Rayleigh 수의 범위와 원형 실린더의 위치 범위에서는 밀폐계 내부의 열유동은 정상상태의 특성을 보였다. 그리고 내부 원형 실린더가 벽면에 가까워 질수록 실린더벽면과 밀폐계 벽면의 평균 Nu 수가 증가하였다.

제품의 성능 및 신뢰성 향상을 위하여 효과적이고, 적정한 방열장치의 중요성이 지속적으로 부각되고 있다. 현재 가장 널리 쓰이는 방열장치는 알루미늄 압출식 평행핀 형상의 히트싱크(heat sink)로 이의 설계를 위해서는 방열량과 최대 허용온도 등에 대한 목표가 결정되어야 하며, 사용 환경 및 설치 방법에 따른 열전달 계수의 예측이 이루어져야 한다. 본 연구에서는 히트싱크의 베이스가 수직, 수평상태를 유지함에 따라 나타나는 핀 주변의 자연대류 유동 특성을 전산모사 해석을 통해 고찰하였다. 또한, 일반적인 자연대류형 히트싱크를 대상으로 수평 및 수직상태에서의 열적 성능 실험을 수행하였으며, 기존의 연구결과와 비교함으로써 설치방향이 히트싱크 방열성능에 미치는 영향에 대하여 분석하였다. 실험결과 수평상태의 경우는 수직인 경우에 비하여 약 10~15% 열전달 계수의 감소가 발생하였다.

본 연구에서는 밀폐된 정방형관 내에서 자성유체의 자연대류현상에 대하여 수치해석적으로 접근하였다. GSMAC(Generalized-Simplified Marker and Cell method)법을 이용하여 자성유체의 지배방정식을 풀었으며 외부에서 인가자장의 세기 및 방향에 따른 자연대류현상과 열전달 특성을 수치해석적으로 규명하였다. 자성유체의 자연대류현상은 인가자장의 세기 및 방향에 따라 제어되었다. 자장이 수직방향으로 인가될 경우 자장의 세기 H가 4000일 때 평균 Nusselt 수가 최소가 되었고 자장이 수평방향으로 인가될 경우 자장의 세기 H가 12000일 때 평균 Nusselt 수가 최소가 되었다. 또한, 이 지점을 기준으로 자장의 인가방향과 관계없이 자장의 세기가 증가할수록 평균 Nusselt 수가 증가하였다.

This study conducted direct numerical simulations of the natural convection phenomena of gaseous hydrogen in a physical storage container containing four circular cylinders. Rayleigh numbers (Ra) in the range of 10⁴≤Ra≤10⁶ and a Prandtl number (Pr)=0.69 (gaseous hydrogen) were considered. The main parameter is a horizontal distance of four circular cylinders and the values of ε_h=0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5 are considered. The flow and thermal structures and corresponding heat transfer characteristics are investigated with respect to the transition of the flow regime. The time- and surface-averaged Nusselt number on the cylinder surface and the wall of physical storage container increased by about 57% and 69% according to the Ra and ε_h, respectively. Thus, the horizontal distance has an influence on the heat transfer characteristics on natural convection of gaseous hydrogen.

Objective of this study is to compare the inherent characteristics of natural convection flow inside the canister of spent fuel dry storage system with different backfill gases by utilizing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code. Four working fluids were selected for comparison study. Helium currently used backfill gas for canister, air, nitrogen, and argon are frequently used as coolant in many heat transfer applications. The results indicate that helium has very distinct conductive behavior and show very weak natural convective flow compared to the others. Argon showed the strongest natural convective flow but also the worst coolability. Air and nitrogen showed similar characteristics to each other. However, due to difference in Prandtl number, nitrogen showed more effective natural convective flow. These results suggest that experimental validation for the nitrogen is needed to investigate the potential coolability other than currently commercially used helium.

The characteristics of the unstable impinging circular jet is investigated based on the frequency characteristics and the sound field of the impinging-tones. Two symmetric modes S1 and S2, associated with low frequency and high frequency respectively, and one helical mode H have been observed. At low speed the S2 mode is dominant and switched by the S1 mode as the speed increases. When the jet speed is high the S1 mode is very active over the impinging distance from half the nozzle diameter to its ten times, while the S2 mode occurs at shorter distance corresponding to stage 2 and 3. The helical mode H seems unstable, likely to be influenced much by the experimental environment, and occurs at relatively high speed with almost the same frequency characteristics as the S2 mode. By estimating the convection speed of the unstable jet, it is found that the ratio of the convection speed to the jet speed decreases with both Strouhal number and Reynolds number and the speed of S2 mode is faster than the Si mode. When the present experimental results are compared with the previous investigations performed for the hole tone and the impinging tone with a small plate, the S1 mode is found to be associated with the ring vortex of large diameter with low speed, but the S2 mode with the vortex of small diameter with high speed. In addition, the frequency is found to be influenced by the nozzle configuration but the characteristics is almost the same. From the impinging distance and frequency range, it can be deduced that S1 mode is related with the jet column mode and S2 mode with the shear mode.

This work was performed to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of the circular fin-tube heat exchanger. This paper contains the experimental data for the seven kinds of fin geometries. The correlation of Stasiulevicius agreed with the experimental data at high Reynolds number, however not well at low Reynolds number. The Nusselt number was well correlated with Graetz number, and showed a transition near Gz=10. An empirical correlation proposed in the present work agreed well with the experimental data.

This paper analyzed the heat transfer characteristics on the outer surface of the ambient air vaporizer which received the heat from the air through natural convection by using numerical and experimental methods. The working fluid was a liquid nitrogen. The experimental variables were the length (2,000 mm, 1,800 mm, 1,600 mm) and width of the vaporizer fin and the fluid flow ($6.7m^3/h$, $7.1m^3/h$, $7.5m^3/h$). Based on the temperature data from the experiments, the heat transfer coefficient was calculated. Numerical analyses were also conducted in order to find the heat transfer coefficient for the range of Nusselt number which was difficult to get the data from experiments. The correlation equation between Nusselt number and Rayleigh number were suggested using both the experimental and numerical data.
