The most important advantage of nanoparticles is the increased thermal conductivity coefficient and convection heat transfer coefficient so that, as a result of using a 1.5% volume concentration of nanoparticles, the thermal conductivity coefficient would increase by about twice. In this paper, the effects of a nanofluid ($TiO_2$/water) on heat transfer characteristics such as the thermal conductivity coefficient, heat transfer coefficient, fuel clad, and fuel center temperatures in a VVER-1000 nuclear reactor are investigated. To this end, the cell equivalent of a fuel rod and its surrounding coolant fluid were obtained in the hexagonal fuel assembly of a VVER-1000 reactor. Then, a fuel rod was simulated in the hot channel using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation codes and thermohydraulic calculations (maximum fuel temperature, fluid outlet, Minimum Departure from Nucleate Boiling Ratio (MDNBR), etc.) were performed and compared with a VVER-1000 reactor without nanoparticles. One of the most important results of the analysis was that heat transfer and the thermal conductivity coefficient increased, and usage of the nanofluid reduced MDNBR.

Recent researches on nanofluids have mainly focused on the increase of thermal conductivity of nanofluids under static condition. The ultimate goal of using nanofluids, however, is to enhance the heat transfer performance under fluid flow. So it has been highly necessary to devise a simple and accurate measuring apparatus which effectively compares the heat transfer capability between the base and nanofluids. Though the convective heat transfer coefficient is not the complete index for the heat transfer capability, it might be one of useful indications of heat transfer enhancement. In this article, the working principles of experimental system for convective heat transfer coefficient around a heated fine wire in cross flow of nanofluids and its application example to three samples of nano lubrication oils are explained in detail.

본 연구에서는 Buckingham 파이 정리를 이용하여 구획 공간에서 화재가 발생한 경우 벽면을 구성하는 재료의 열전도 계수와 내부 온도의 상관관계에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 이를 위해서 기존 무차원 변수의 주요 인자를 고려하여 발열량, 열전도계수, 구획공간의 체적, 벽면 두께 그리고 대류 열전달 계수의 관계를 분석하였다. 또한, 발열량에 대한 화염에서의 최대 온도 그리고 벽면의 온도를 산출하기 위해서 내화보드를 사용하여 ISO 9705 룸 코너 시험기(Room Corner Tester)의 1/6 크기를 갖는 축소 규모의 구조물을 제작하였으며, 10 cm, 15 cm 그리고 20 cm인 정사각형 화원에 대해서 가솔린 화재실험을 수행하여 국부 지점의 산소 농도와 화염에서의 온도분포를 측정하였다. 그 결과 대류 열전달 계수와 열전도 계수의 변화에 따라서 외벽에서의 온도가 증가하는 조건을 제시하였으며, 발열량 변화에 대한 Buckingham 파이의 무차원 경험식을 도출하였다. 본 연구 결과는 구획 공간에서 외벽 형상 및 열전도 계수의 변화를 고려한 화재 현상을 연구하기 위한 기초 자료의 활용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

본 논문에서는 가는 열선 주위를 흐르는 나노유체의 대류열전달 특성을 실험을 통하여 검토하였다. 입자 혼합 농도가 다른 4개의 나노엔진오일에 대하여 열선온도가 증가하는 경우, 유체온도가 증가하는 경우 그리고 막온도가 일정하게 유지되는 경우 등 세가지 온도경계조건에 대하여 대류열전달계수를 측정하였다. 내부유동에서 나노유체의 대류열전달계수 상승이 열전도율 상승을 초과한다는 결과가 최근 발표되기도 했지만 본 연구에서는 이 결과를 확인할 수 없었다. 온도조건에 따른 대류열전달계수의 변화 거동을 분석함으로써 나노유체의 열전도율과 경계층두께의 관계를 설명할 수 있었다.

The temperature-dependent tribological properties of brake discs for a train were examined in this study. The discs were produced using heat-resistant alloy steel, which showed different thermal conductivity after the heat treatments. A commercial brake friction material was used to evaluate the friction effectiveness, and the friction tests were carried out using a 1/5 scale dynamometer under various initial braking temperature conditions. The results showed that the tribological property of the disc was strongly affected by the heat treatment schedule. At low temperatures (below $250^{\circ}C$), the friction coefficient increased as a function of disc temperature, indicating that frictional heat increased the adhesion between the disc and pad. In addition, fade was observed at high temperatures (above $250^{\circ}C$); it was pronounced in the case of the disc with low thermal conductivity. The different fade resistances observed in the discs with different heat treatment schedules appear to be influenced by microstructural changes such as carbide redistribution occurring during the heat treatments, which affected the thermal conductivity.

Numerical analysis has been carried out to investigate laminar convective heat transfer in a tube for supercritical water near the thermodynamic critical point. Fluid flow and heat transfer are strongly coupled due to large variations of thermodynamic and transport properties such as density, specific heat, viscosity, and thermal conductivity near the critical point. Heat transfer characteristics in the developing region of the tube show transition behavior between liquid-like and gas-like phases with a peak in heat transfer coefficient distribution near the pseudocritical point. The peak of the heat transfer coefficient depends on pressure and wall heat flux rather than inlet temperature and Reynolds number, Results of the modeling provide convective heat transfer characteristics including velocity vectors, temperature, and the properties as well as the heat transfer coefficient. The effect of proximity to the critical point is considered and a heat transfer correlation is suggested for the peak of Nusselt number in the tube.

Numerical analysis has been carried out to investigate laminar convective heat transfer at zero gravity in a tube for supercritical water near the thermodynamic critical point. Fluid flow and heat transfer are strongly coupled due to large variation of thermodynamic and transport properties such as density, specific heat, viscosity, and thermal conductivity near the critical point. Heat transfer characteristics in the developing region of the tube show transition behavior between liquid-like and gas-like phases with a peak in heat transfer coefficient distribution near the pseudo critical point.

Graphene is known to possess excellent thermal properties, including high thermal conductivity, that make it a prime candidate material for heat management in ultra large scale integrated circuits. For device applications, the key parameters are the thermal expansion coefficient and the thermal conductivity. There has been no reliable experimental determination on the thermal expansion coefficient of graphene whereas the estimates of the thermal conductivity vary widely. In this work, we estimate the thermal expansion coefficient of graphene on silicon dioxide by measuring the temperature dependence of the Raman spectrum. The shift of the Raman peaks due to heating or cooling results from both the intrinsic temperature dependence of the Raman spectrum of graphene and the strain on the graphene film due to the thermal expansion mismatch with silicon dioxide. By carefully comparing the experimental data against theoretical calculations, it is possible to determine the thermal expansion coefficient. The thermal conductivity is measured by estimating the thermal profile of a graphene film suspended over a circular hole of the substrate.

Finite difference model and dynamic thermal property evaluation system were developed to estimate convection heat transfer coefficient by modeling temperature-time profile of beef cube in continuous flow sterilizing system. As input parameters of the model, specific heat and thermal conductivity values of beef frankfurter meat were independently measured from 20 to $80^{\circ}C$. Convection heat transfer coefficient was estimated by comparing simulated and measured temperature-time profiles. Actual temperature-time profiles of meat cube were measured at flow rates of 15, 30, and 45 L/min and viscosities from 0 to 15 cp, and mean values of convection heat transfer coefficients ranged from 792 to $2107\;W/m^2{\cdot}K$. Convection heat transfer coefficient increased with increase in flow rate and decreased as viscosity increased.

The overall heat transfer coefficients(U) were obtained through experiment in accordance with Korea Industrial standards. The result of the experiment are compared with the Regional Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient(U) of Building. This results inform that core wall with soil can be used as building walls because the insulation characteristics agree to the rule of building standards.
