Cylindrical stainless-steel/sodium heat pipe for a high-temperature application was manufactured and tested for transient and steady-state operations. Two layers of Stainless-steel screen mesh wick was inserted as a capillary structure. The outer diameter of the heat pipe was 12.7 mm and the total length was 250 mm. As thermal transport conditions, the effective transport length, the heat flux, the tilt angle and the operating temperature were varied. The heat was supplied by an electric furnace up to 1 kW and the cooling was performed by forced convection of air. The effective thermal conductivity and the thermal resistance were investigated as a function of heat flux, heat transport length, and vapor temperature. Typical range of the total thermal resistance was as low as $0.036^{\circ}C/W$ at $175.8\;kW/m^2$ of heat flux and $700^{\circ}C$ of operating temperature.

나노유체로 기공이 채워진 규사와 같은 2상 물질의 고온에서의 유효 열전도도를 비정상열침법을 사용하여 측정하였다. 본 연구의 나노유체는 물과 0.1% 체적률의 입경이 45 nm 인 알루미나 나노입자의 혼합유체이다. 본 연구의 측정방법은 액체가 모래의 미세한 기공 내에 존재하므로, 열전도도의 측정에서의 액체의 대류에 의한 문제가 적다. 본 연구의 모래에 대한 예측모델을 사용하여 나노유체와 모래입자의 2상 물질의 유효 열전도도의 측정결과로부터, 고온의 나노유체의 열전도도를 결정하였다. 실험결과, $30^{\circ}C\sim80^{\circ}C$의 온도 범위에서 순수한 물에 대한 본 연구의 나노유체의 열전도도의 증가율은 4.87% ~ 5.48% 의 범위에서 변화하는 것으로 나타났다.

It has been shown that a nanofluid consisting of nanoparticles dispersed in base fluid has much higher effective thermal conductivity than pure fluid. In this study, four kinds of nanofluids such as multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) in water, CuO in water, SiO2in water, and CuO in ethylene glycol, are produced. Their thermal conductivities are measured by a transient hot-wire method. The thermal conductivity of water-based MWCNT nanofluid is shown to be increased by up to 11.3% at a volume fraction of 0.01. The measured thermal conductivities of MWCNT nanofluids are higher than those calculated with Hamilton-Crosser's model due to neglecting solid-liquid interaction at the interface. The results show that the thermal conductivity enhancement of nanofluids depends on the thermal conductivities of both particles and the base fluid. Stability of nanofluids is estimated by UV-vis spectrum analysis. Stability of nanofluid depends on the type of base fluid and the suspended particles. Also it can be improved in addition of a surfactant.

2상 복합재에 적용되어오던 수정된 Eshelby 모델(MEM)을 두 종류의 구형 입자를 포함하는 3상 복합재로 확장하여 복합재의 등가열전도계수를 간단히 양함수 형태로 표시한다. 이의 유효성 검증을 위해 이 결과를 미소등가물모델(DEMM)로 구한 결과와 비교하고, 또 참고문헌의 2상 및 3상 복합재의 실험결과와 비교한다. 2상 복합재의 경우 MEM이 충전재의 체적비 0.5 미만에서는 DEMM보다 잘 예측한다. 3상 복합재의 경우 모재 대비 큰 열전도계수비를 갖는 충전재의 체적비가 적은 경우 MEM이 잘 예측하나, 체적비가 증가할수록 DEMM이 잘 예측한다. 이 체적비가 두 모델의 예측결과에 결정적 영향을 주는 인자임이 변수들의 영향 연구를 통해 밝혀졌으며, Molina 등이 제안한 3상 복합재에 대해 MEM과 DEMM은 동등한 예측 수준을 보였다.

In this paper, the thermal characteristics of natural convection in a rectangular cavity with nanofluids such as water-based nanofluids containing alumina are theoretically investigated with a new model of the thermal conductivity for nanofluids presented by Jang and Choi and various models for effective viscosity. In addition, based on theoretical results, the effects of various parameters such as the volume fraction, the temperature, and the size of nanoparticles on free convective instability and heat transfer characteristics in a rectangular cavity with nanofluids are suggested.

Cu matrix composites reinforced with chopped carbon fiber (CF), which is cost effective and can be well dispersed, are fabricated using electroless plating and hot pressing, and the effects of content and alignment of CF on the thermal properties of CF/Cu composites are studied. Thermal conductivity of CF/Cu composite increases with CF content in the in-plane direction, but it decreases above 10% CF; this is due to reduction of thermal diffusivity related with phonon scattering by agglomeration of CF. The coefficient of thermal expansion decreases in the in-plane direction and increases in the through-plane direction as the CF content increases. This is because the coefficient of thermal expansion of the long axis of CF is smaller than that of the Cu matrix, and the coefficient of thermal expansion of its short axis is larger than that of the Cu matrix. The thermal conductivity is greatly influenced by the agglomeration of CF in the CF/Cu composite, whereas the coefficient of thermal expansion is more influenced by the alignment of CF than the aggregation of CF.

Recently, a miniaturized measurement cell of effective thermal conductivity was developed to evaulate the heat transfer characteristics of hydrogen stroage material in the initial step of its development. In this work, the realiablity issues which can occur from this miniaturization of measurement cell were studied in detail by both experiments and numerical simulation of heat transfer. $LaNi_5$ as a reference was used for the reliability evaluation of the miniaturized measurement cell. Numerical simulations of heat transfer for this measurement system were verified through comparison with the experimental data. Under these reliablity studies, we discuss how to overcome the inherent drawbacks of this miniaturized system in order to achieve the high reliability.

본 논문에서는 2008년 4월 이후 지열원 열펌프가 설치되어지는 현장에 시험공의 지중열전도도를 현장열응답법을 이용하여 측정하였으며, 그간에 측정된 지중열전도도를 이용하여 전국의 지중온도 및 지중열전도도의 산포도를 정리하였다. 지중열교환기의 심도가 150m일 때 지중온도 분포는 약 $12.0{\sim}19^{\circ}C$의 넓은 분포를 보였으나 대부분의 지중온도가 $15.0{\sim}17.0^{\circ}C$의 범위에 분포하였으며, 지중열전도도의 경우도 마찬가지로 1.50 ~ 9.00 W/mk 값으로 아주 넓은 분포를 보였으나 2.30 ~ 2.90W/mk 값이 가장 많이 나타냈다.

To find out the optimum design of hydrogen storage and supply tank using Metal Hydride (briefly MH) and to make clear the performance characteristics under various conditions are our research purpose. In order to use the low-temperature exhaust heat, $LaNi_{4.7}Al_{0.3}$ which operates under the low pressure of 1 MPa is chosen, and we measure the basic properties, namely density, specific heat, PCT(Pressure-Concentration-Temperature) characteristics, and effective thermal conductivity. Then, a numerical calculation model of hydrogen storage using MH alloy is suggested and this thermal diffusion equation of model is solved by the backward difference method. This calculation results are compared with the experimental results of the systems which installed 1kg MH alloy and, it is found out that our calculation model can well predict the experimental results. By the experimental using MH alloy, it is recognized that the hydrogen flow rate can control by the step adjustment of brine temperature.

This study deals with heat pipes inserted into the metal hydride(MH) reactor to increase the effective thermal conductivity of the system and thus to enhance the thermal control characteristics. A numerical analysis was conducted to predict the effect of inserted heat pipes on the heat transfer characteristics of MH, which inherently has extremely low thermal conductivity. The numerical model was a cylindrical container of O.D. 76.3 mm and length 1 m, which is partially filled with about 60% of MH material. The heat pipe was made of copper-water combination, which is suitable for operation temperature range between $10^{\circ}C$ and $80^{\circ}C$. Both inner -and outer- heat pipes were considered in the model. Less than two hours of transient time is of concern when decreasing or increasing the temperature for absorption and discharge of hydrogen gas. FLUENT, a commercial software, was employed to predict the transient as well as steady-state temperature distribution of the MH reactor system. The numerical results were compared and analyzed from the view point of temperature uniformity and transient time up to the specified maximum or minimum temperatures.
