The shell & tube-type heat exchanger has been frequently used because it shows simple structure, easy manufacturing and wide operation conditions among many heat exchangers. This study aims to investigate the characteristics for thermal flow of coolant and the possibility of damage for tube equipped with shell due to thermal stress. For these purposes, The thermal flow of coolant in tube was simulated using ANSYS-CFX program and thus the behaviors of coolant were evaluated with standard k-ε turbulence model. As the results, as the flow rate of coolant in tube was increased, the mean relative pressure was also increased with quadratic curve, however, as the surface temperature of tube was increased, mean temperature difference was linearly increased. Finally it showed that the damage of tube could be predicted, that is, which tube was the most weak due to thermal stress.

The effect of flow direction on heat transfer in water cooling channel of lithium-ion battery is numerically investigated. Battery Design StudioⓇ software is used for modeling electro-chemical heat generation in the battery and the conjugated heat transfer is analyzed with the commercial package STAR-CCM+. The result shows that the maximum temperature and temperature difference of battery with Type 1 are the lowest because the heat transfer in the entrance region near the electrode is enhanced. As the inlet velocity is increased, the maximum temperature and temperature difference of battery decreases but the pressure loss increases. The pressure loss in Type 2 channel is the lowest due to the shortest channel length, while the pressure loss with Type 3 or 4 channel is the highest because of the longest channel length. Considering heat transfer performance and pressure loss, Type 1 is the best cooling channel.

In this study, the temperature, the absolute humidity, and the turbulent flow characteristics of exhaust air and supply air in the mixer were studied while changing the shape of the mixer of the white smoke reducing heat exchange system. Using Solidworks, the mixer of the white smoke reduction heat exchange system was created by 3-D model. Also, the mixed flow of supply air and exhaust air inside the mixer under the uniform inlet conditions was computed, using the solidworks flow simulation. Two types of improvement models were selected by using a perforated plate and a guide vane as a turbulent mixing flow control method of the mixer. The mean temperature and mean absolute humidity of the mixture were greatly decreased according to the internal shapes of Case 1, 2, and 3. The temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the mixer Case 3 was 26℃. The exit temperature and absolute humidity reduction rates of Case 3 were 26.2% and 48.1%, respectively, compared with Case 1.

In this study, the characteristics of the heat flow on SA(supply air) side of the white smoke reducing heat exchange system according to the change of SA velocity were analyzed in the winter condition (outside temperature 0℃). Also, the mixing process of SA and the EA(exhaust air) is presented in the psychrometric chart to confirm the possibility of reducing white smoke. Solidworks flow simulation was used to analyze the heat flow on the heat exchange system under uniform conditions. As the inflow velocity of SA increased, the temperature of SA decreased due to the convective heat transfer improvement due to the active flow in SA system. And the outlet temperature and absolute humidity of the mixing zone decreased significantly. At SA velocity 7 m/s, the outlet temperature and absolute humidity decreased to about 58% and 82%, respectively.

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.

In this study, the heat flow characteristics of wave heat exchanger was investigated by being applied to the white smoke reduction system. Through numerical analysis, the heat transfer and flow characteristics of the wave heat exchanger with the change of inlet condition of air-side and water-side were analyzed. To investigate the temperature, the absolute humidity, heat transfer rate, pressure drop and turbulence characteristics of the wave heat exchanger, the simulation analysis was conducted by using the commercial computational fluid dynamics software (Solidworks Flow Simulation) under uniform flow conditions. As the inflow rate of air decreased and the inflow temperature of water increased, the heat transfer coefficient of the wave heat exchanger decreased. When the experimental conditions of water-side were the same, the air outlet temperature and absolute humidity of the wave heat exchanger increased with increasing inflow rate of air. To reduce the white smoke, the air outlet temperature and absolute humidity of the wave heat exchanger must be reduced. Therefore, the lower the air velocity and the water inflow temperature into the wave heat exchanger, the more effective it is.

The numerical analysis is performed with the variation of air mass flow rate. The results show that as mass flow rate increases, louver fin efficiency is nearly constant. The correlation of the average Nu is derived. The results of numerical study is useful in louvered fin design.

In this study, the heat flow characteristics of natural convection was theoretically analyzed with time by changing various locations of heat trace with tube surface about enclosed circular tube by applying nominal tube diameter 90 mm of KS D 3507. Before carrying out CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis, it is presumed that the boundary condition is the tube’s inside and outside fluid temperature of 273 °K, the tube surface heat flux according to the heat trace location of 16 W/m. The result confirmed that water of inside tube is occurred natural convection caused by density difference depending on temperature profile. Additionally, in case of heat trace location, the heat transfer and flow characteristics showed clearly that two-heat trace location =135° and 180° was more favorable distribution than one-heat trace appropriate location =135°.

This paper deals with experimental research to observe the characteristics of heat flow and the effect of ice thermal storage in case of three sizes of ice ball, which are included identification of ice thermal extraction. Diameters of three ice ball was 103mm, 96mm, and 76mm is equivalent to 0.45, 0.50 and 0.55 in porosity respectively. Also inlet geometric parameters are the perforator and distributor. Flow rate of brine were 2LPM, 4LPM and 6LPM and the temperature difference in dynamic parameter are 8℃, 10℃ and 12℃. Flow rate of brine used the liter per minute(LPM) for liquid measurement applications. The effect of brine flow rate on efficiency increased as the temperature difference and porosity increased. An adaption of a long-term storage in case of smaller porosity(ɛ=0.45) was available through experiments of outlet temperature responses.

Silicon carbide(SiC) layer is particularly important tri-isotropic (TRISO) coating layers because it acts as a miniature pressure vessel and a diffusion barrier to gaseous and metallic fission products in the TRISO coated particle. The high temperature deposition of SiC layer normally performed at 1500-1650˚C has a negative effect on the property of IPyC layer by increasing its anisotropy. To investigate the feasibility of lower temperature SiC deposition, the influence of deposition temperature on the property of SiC layer are examined in this study. While the SiC layer coated at 1500˚C obtains nearly stoichiometric composition, the composition of the SiC layer coated at 1300-1400˚C shows discrepancy from stoichiometric ratio(1:1). 3-7μm grain size of SiC layer coated at 1500˚C is decreased to sub-micrometer (＜ 1μm) -2μm grain size when coated at 1400˚C, and further decreased to nano grain size when coated at 1300-1350˚C. Moreover, the high density of SiC layer (≥3.19g/cm3) which is easily obtained at 1500˚C coating is difficult to achieve at lower temperature owing to nano size pores. the density is remarkably decreased with decreasing SiC deposition temperature.

A 2D axisymmetric numerical analysis was performed to study the characteristics of charge process inside solar thermal storage tank. The porosity and heat transfer coefficient of filler material as well as inlet velocity of heat transfer fluid are selected as simulation parameters. The porosity is varied as 0.2, 0.5, and 0.8 to account for the effect of filler granule geometry. Two levels of the heat transfer coefficient is adopted to assess the heat transfer between heat transfer fluid and filler material. The inlet velocity is varied as 0.00278, 0.0278, and 0.278m/s. As both of the porosity and the heat transfer coefficient increase, the discrepancy of the temperature distributions between the filler and heat transfer fluid decreases. As the inlet velocity increases, the penetration depth of the heat transfer fluid increases proportionally.

A 2D axisymmetric numerical analysis was performed to study the characteristics of charge process inside solar thermal storage tank. The interfacial area density and inertial resistance of filler material are selected as simulation parameters. The interfacial area density is varied as 800, 2000, and 4000 1/m. The inertial resistance is varied as 1, 3, and 5 1/m. When the interfacial area density increases from 800 to 4000 1/m, the discrepancy of the temperature distributions between the filler and heat transfer fluid decreases. As inertial resistance increases from 1 to 5, both of the temperature and fluid flow pattern changes considerably.

The properties of pyrolytic carbon (PyC) deposited from C2H2 and a mixture of C2H2/C3H6 on ZrO2 particles in a fluidized bed reactor were studied by adjusting the deposition temperature, reactant concentration, and the total gas flow rate. The effect of the deposition parameters on the properties of PyC was investigated by analyzing the microstructure and density change. The density could be varied from 1.0 g/cm3 to 2.2 g/cm3 by controlling the deposition parameters. The density decreased and the deposition rate increased as the deposition temperature and reactant concentration increased. The PyC density was largely dependent on the deposition rate irrespective of the type of the reactant gas used.
