In this study, the CFD analysis was performed by changing the geometry of coil-tube diameter ratio, coil winding number, coil pitch, and cross section of the tube to investigate the heat flow characteristics of forced convection in a helical coil-tube heat exchanger using RSM (Reynolds Stress Model). As a result, the secondary flow was developed in the tube caused by the influence of centrifugal force. It improved the heat transfer on the outer side of the tube, but on the inner side was not performed well. And the temperature rose locally in the tube region. Also the pressure drop in the tube was proportional to the diameter ratio of the coil-tube and the inlet velocity, and it was found that pressure drop and friction factor were inversely proportional. When the coil winding number and coil pitch were increased, it affected heat transfer in the low speed range of 0.1 ~ 0.2 m/s, but did not affect the flow condition after this range.

The heat transfer characteristics of forced convection according to the geometric shapes with four rectangular blocks in a horizontal PCB channel was analyzed numerically using SST (Shear Stress Transport) turbulence model. As the boundary condition for CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis, the inlet temperature and air velocity were respectively 300 K and 3.84 m/s and the heat flux of the block surface was 358 W/㎡. The shape factors of block were width, height, spacing and channel entrance height. As the results, the heat transfer rate was decreased as the width ratio (x/h) was increased, while it was increased as the height ratio (h/x) is increased. Also as the block spacing ratio (s/x) was increased, the heat transfer effects was not significantly affected. And as the channel entrance height ratio (H/x) was increased, the heat transfer performance was decreased.

The heat generated by the internal electro-mechanical device is not transferred to the outside, to degrade the performance of the electronic device, or the cause of failure. Heat sinks are used to control the heat. Thermal performance of the heat sink of the pine type and pin type was analyzed using ANSYS software. The numerical results were compared with the thermal performance of the pine type and pin-type heat sink. The results of the numerical simulation showed that Pine type heat sink showed an approximately 58 percent better heat transfer rate with forced convection than Pin type heat sink.

고준위 방사성 폐기물 처분장의 경우 폐기물의 방사성 붕괴에 의해 열이 발생되며, 암반을 통한 열전달 에 의해 처분장 주변 환경이 변화됨으로써 처분장의 안전성에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 그러므로 지하 처분장 대기의 열전달계수를 결정하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute Underground Research Tunnel (KURT)에서 내부 환경 인자들의 측정을 통해 강제대류시 열전달계수를 산정하였다. 실험을 위해 KURT 내 히터구간의 막장 벽면에는 길이 2 m, 용량 5 kw의 히터를 삽 입하여 암반 내부를 90℃로 가열하였고, 외부와 연결된 급기용 팬에 의해 신선한 공기를 공급하였다. 연구 결과, 외부공기 공급 후 히터구간 대기의 기류속도는 평균 0.81 m/s로 측정되었고 레이놀즈수는 약 310,000 340,000의 값을 나타냈다. 그리고 강제대류조건에서 히터구간 내 계절별 열전달계수는 각각 여 름철 7.68 W/m2·K와 겨울철 7.24 W/m2·K의 수치를 나타냈다.
