The effects of the narrowed upside gap on nucleate pool boiling heat transfer in a vertical annulus were investigated experimentally. For the study, a stainless steel tube with a diameter of 25.4 mm and saturated water that kept an atmospheric condition were used. The ratio between the gaps measured at the upper and the lower regions of the annulus ranged from 0.18 to 1. Two different lengths of the modified gap also were investigated. The change in heat transfer due to the modified gap became evident as the gap ratio decreased and the length of the gap increased. As the gap ratio became less than 0.51, a significant decrease in heat transfer was observed compared to the plain annulus. The longer gap size resulted in an additional decrease in heat transfer. The major cause for the tendency was attributed to the formation of lumped bubbles around the upper region of the annulus followed by the increased flow friction between the fluid and the surface around the modified gap.

Turbulent mixed convection in heated vertical annulus is investigated using Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) technique. The objective of this study is to find out the effect of buoyancy on turbulent mixed convection in heated vertical annulus. Downward and upward flows with bulk Reynolds number 8500, based on hydraulic diameter and mean velocity, have been simulated to investigate turbulent mixed convection by gradually increasing the effect of buoyancy. With increased heat flux, heat transfer coefficient first decreases and then increases in the upward flow due to the effect of buoyancy, but it gradually increases in downward flow. The mean velocity and temperature profiles can not be explained by the wall log laws due to the effect of buoyancy, too. All simulation results are in good quantitative agreement with existing numerical results and in good qualitative agreement with existing experimental results.

To investigate effects of the inflow area on pool boiling heat transfer in a vertical annulus, the inflow area at its bottom has been changed from 0 to $1060.3mm^2$. For the test, a heated tube of 34 mm diameter and water at atmospheric pressure have been used. To elucidate effects of the inflow area on heat transfer results of the annulus are compared to the data of a single unrestricted tube. The change in the inflow area at the bottom of the annulus results in much variation in heat transfer coefficients. When the inflow area is $113.1mm^2$ the deterioration point of heat transfer coefficients gets moved up to the higher heat fluxes because of the convective flow at the bottom regions.

Natural convection heat transfer in a horizontal annulus from an inner tube with two vertical fins has been studied for the effects of dimensionless fin length and Rayleigh number. The maximum local Nusselt number of inner tube was obtained at .theta. = 145.deg. and that of outer cylinder at .theta. = 0.deg. for the case of $l_{F}$=0.3 Local Nusselt number distributions for the lower fins show higher values than that of the upper fins. The mean Nusselt number of inner tube was increased with the values of dimensionless fin length. The mean Nusselt number can be represented in an exponential function of Grashof number at various fin lengths. As compared with experimental and numerical results, isotherms and local Nusselt number show good agreement.t.

수직으로 설치된 하부폐쇄 환상공간 내부의 풀비등 열전달 메카니즘을 알기 위하여 환상공간의 튜브 길이를 0.3m와 0.6m 사이에서 변경하였다. 실험을 위해 0.2m의 가열 길이를 갖는 직경 19.1mm인 스테인리스강 튜브와 대기압 상태 하에 있는 물을 사용하였다. 외부 튜브 길이가 열전달에 미치는 영향을 분명하게 살펴보기 위해 환상공간에 대한 결과를 환상공간이 없는 단일튜브에 대한 결과와 서로 비교하였다. 동일 열유속에서 외부튜브 길이의 증가는 틈새간격이 3.5mm인 경우에는 열전달계수의 증가하지만 틈새간격이 15.5mm인 경우에는 열전달계수가 감소하였다. 이러한 경향의 주된 원인은 액체교란의 차이로서 설명된다.

Effects of liquid subcooling on pool boiling heat transfer in an annulus with an open bottom have been investigated experimentally. A tube of 19.1mm diameter and the water at atmospheric pressure have been used for the fest. Up to $50^{\circ}C$ of liquid subcooling has been tested and experimental data of the annulus have been compared with the data of a single unrestricted tube. Temperatures on the heated tube surface fluctuate only slightly regardless of the heat flux in the annulus, whereas high variation is observed on the surface of the single tube. An increase in the degree of subcooling decreases heat transfer coefficients greatly both for the single tube and the annulus. Heat transfer coefficients increase suddenly at ${\Delta}T_{sub}\;{\le}\;10^{\circ}C$ and much greater change in heat transfer coefficients is observed at the annulus. To obtain effects of subcooling on heat transfer quantitatively, two new empirical equations have been suggested, and the correlations predict the empirical data within ${\pm}30\%$ error bound excluding some data at lower heat transfer coefficients.

To improve pool boiling heat transfer in an vertical annulus with closed bottoms, the length of an outer tube has been changed from 0.2m to 0.6m. For the test, a heated tube of 19.1mm diameter and water at atmospheric pressure have been used. Annular conditions are made using glass tubes fabricated around the heated tube. The gap size of the annulus is 3.65mm. To elucidate effects of the outer tube length on heat transfer results of the annulus are compared with the data of a single unrestricted tube and the annulus with wider gap size of 6.35mm. Throughout the tests much higher heat transfer coefficients are observed for the annulus of 3.65mm gap size comparing to the other two cases. The change in the outer tube length results in much variation in heat transfer coefficients. Moreover, with shortening the length of outer tube the possibility of the CHF occurrence can be removed.
