In this analysis, the analytical model was verified through the normal mode analysis of the piston for the 2.9 liter IDI (indirect injection) engine. Heat transfer analysis was carried out by selecting two cases of applied temperature using the validated model. The first case was a condition of 350℃ on the piston upper surface and 100℃ on the piston body and inner wall. In the second case, the conditions were set to give a temperature of 400℃ on the upper surface of the piston and 100℃ on the piston body and the inner wall. In addition, the temperature distribution due to heat transfer was obtained for the pistons with boundary conditions of two cases, and then the thermal stress distribution due to thermal expansion was obtained using the input. Using this analysis result, the thermal stress caused by thermal expansion due to the thermal conduction of the piston is examined and used as the basic data for design.

The improvement of heat transfer in water cooling passage of lithium-ion battery is numerically studied by employing trapezoidal vortex generators. Battery Design StudioⓇ software is used for modeling electro-chemical heat generation in the battery. The conjugated heat transfer is analyzed with the commercial package STAR-CCM+ in terms of inlet flow velocities. The result shows that vortex generator enhances the convective heat transfer by developing thermal boundary layers and secondary flows in downstream, which results in reducing the average temperature of the battery by about 1℃. The heat transfer is enhanced for the whole inlet velocity, while the pressure loss sharply increases at more than inlet velocity of 0.1m/s. The optimum inlet velocity is around 0.1m/s for in terms of the heat transfer and pressure loss.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the temperature and heat resistance distribution, which is a criterion for evaluating the cooling performance, by using computer simulation of the cooling system combined with the CPU of the individual highest heat generation section, and use it as important data for the heat sink design. Using a single material of Al 6063-T5, which is an integral part of the desktop, fan and heat sink, fins and base, the analysis was carried out with various fin numbers, thicknesses, pitches and shapes of heat sinks. Ambient temperature, 25°C, heat source, 130W and cooling fan speed, 2500 rpm (50CFM) were used as boundary conditions, and heat transfer characteristics regarding temperature distribution and heat resistance were investigated using ANSYS Icepak. As a result, it has been found that as the number of fins of heat sink increases, the heat dissipation area increases to decrease heat resistance, and as the distance between each fin decreases, the ventilation resistance increases to decrease the flow intensity of the cooling air in contact with the heat dissipation area. The sunburst array also exhibits better heat transfer characteristics by obtaining a lower distribution of heat resistance with a cooling effect of about 10°C than the one-way basic array.

Heat transfer and pressure drop of horizontal heat exchangers with different configurations and installations numerically characterized. Three different heat exchangers were used and shaped as linear, wavy, and horizontal slinky, respectively. Installation depth was set from 0.5m to 3.0m and pipe spacing was ranged from 0.3m to 2.1m. The results showed that heat transfer rate and pressure drop were increased with the increase in the installation depth and the pipe spacing. The horizontal slinky heat exchanger carried more heat compared to others due to the greater effective heat transfer surface area per installation area. In terms of a ratio of heat transfer rate to pressure drop indicating the system efficiency, the linear heat exchanger performed better than others. On the other hand, the horizontal slinky heat exchanger was the most effective with respect to a ratio of heat transfer rate to installation cost.

An enthalpy exchange element (EEE) is frequently made of papers, and a concern exists on growth of fungus or bacteria. This concern may be eliminated if polymer membrane is used instead of paper. Furthermore, most existing enthalpy exchangers have cross-flow configuration, which yields lower performance than counter-flow one. In this study, a counter-flow enthalpy exchange element was made using PVDF and cellulose composite. Heat and moisture transfer tests were conducted changing the frontal air flow rate from 150 m 3 /h to 350 m 3 /h at both the heating and the cooling condition. Results showed that the temperature efficiencies were approximately the same independent of the weather condition. Humidity efficiencies at the heating condition, however, were higher than those at the cooling condition. Furthermore, the heat transfer coefficients approached the theoretical value as the flow rate increased. In addition, the vapor transmission rates at the heating condition were higher than those at the cooling condition, probably due to the higher humidity efficiency at the heating condition. Future research will be focused on moisture diffusion characteristics of the composite membrane, which requires further measurements of water holdup, equilibrium adsorption curve, etc.

The effect of inclination angle and attack angle on heat transfer enhancement of trapezoidal vortex generator was numerically investigated. The commercial package STAR-CCM+ was utilized to analyze the heat transfer and flow characteristics with various inclination and attack angle of vortex generator. The result shows that the optimum inclination angles are α =30°~40° in terms of the heat transfer and pressure drop. At more than 40° of inclination angle, the transverse vortex is dominant, so that the pressure drop is severe and the heat transfer is reduced. As the attack angle is increased, the transverse vortex is reduced, so that the pressure drop is improved. The optimum attack angle is β =30° because the heat transfer performance is maintained. However, more than 30° of attack angle, the heat transfer is decreasing.

In this study, the air-side cooling capacity and pressure drop of an evaporator for a refrigerator unit were experimentally investigated. Using the calorimeter, the performance of the evaporator was verified by changing the fin shape, fin pitch, tube row and air flow rate. The experimental apparatus consisted of the calorimeter which functioned as a constant temperature and humidity chamber and the refrigeration cycle. In order to select the heat exchanger suitable for the evaporator, both air-side cooling capacity and pressure drop should be considered at the same time. From the evaporator performance test by pin type, wavy pin was selected. The optimal performance of the evaporator was observed at the fin pitch of 5 mm, the tube row of 6 row, and the air flow rate of 40㎥/min.

Vortex Generators are used in heat exchanger to enhance the heat transfer of air side. 3-D numerical analysis is performed on heat transfer characteristics of a channel with trapezoidal vortex generator. We investigate the effects of vortex generators with two different inclined angles to flow direction which are forward and backward vortex generators. The thermal hydraulic performance such as Nu and pressure drop, is compared quantitatively. The results show that vortex generator enhances the heat transfer by developing boundary layers and secondary flow in the downstream. The downwash flow region corresponds to the maximum Nu, while the upwash flow region corresponds to Nu minimum. In the view of the heat transfer characteristics, FVG is better than BVG. However, when flow is turbulent as Re increases, the pressure drop for FVG is higher than that for BVG.

In this study, effects of reducing white smoke at a heat exchange system for white smoke reduction were studied in the winter season. For this purpose, the heat transfer processes on the exhaust air were investigated by Solidworks. Five wave heat exchangers of air-to-air and air-to-water type were applied for the exhaust air heat recovery. The analytical condition of the exhaust air was fixed and the computational analysis was performed according to the change of SA(supply air) inlet velocities. In order to evaluate the performance of the heat exchange system for white smoke reduction, W(water)/SA recovered capacities and the temperature/ absolute humidity reduction rate were calculated. As SA inlet velocity increased, the exit temperature and absolute humidity of the mixing zone were reduced by up to about 40℃ and 0.12kg/kg respectively. Also, W/SA recovered capacities increased linearly up to about 35%.

In the present study, the white reduction system was designed and manufactured to evaluate the performance of a heat exchange system using a wave heat exchanger. The reducing effect of white smoke and the amount of heat recovered from cooling water were investigated experimentally using the cooling and dehumidifying method. The white smoke reduction system consists of two parts; the generating part and the reducing part of white smoke. Experimental conditions on EA(exhaust air) and SW(supply water) were fixed. And the outlet temperature and absolute humidity of EA were measured according to inlet velocity of SA(supply air). The outlet temperatures and absolute humidities of EA gradually decreased as inlet velocities of SA increased. From the experimental results, we can see that the absolute humidity reduction rate of EA was max. 84%, and the heat recovery rate of SW was max. 42%.

In this paper, we study the effect of cooling dehumidification process and wave heat exchanger on the reduction of white smoke and the efficiency by combination of heat exchanger with numerical analysis method. For this purpose, four types of heat exchange systems combined with 5-stage wave heat exchangers were selected to analyze the heat transfer characteristics of the heat exchange system in the winter condition. As the high temperature exhaust air flowed from HX 1 to HX 5, the final outlet temperatures of the four heat exchange systems(Cases 1, 2, 3 and 4) gradually decreased. The heat transfer rate and dehumidification amount were the best in Case 1 and Case 3, respectively. It can be seen that the heat flow in the heat exchanger is different according to the combination of the four kinds of wave heat exchanger and the fluid flow.
