The research aimed to develop a high-efficiency plate-type heat exchanger for exhaust gas using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) thermal analysis based on the plate shape, and to identify the optimal shape. Following this, a water/air plate heat exchanger was manufactured, and its characteristics were studied experimentally. As the Re number increases on the gas (or air) side, the heat transfer rate increases significantly, whereas an increase in the Re number on the water side leads to a smaller increase in heat transfer. This is attributed to the larger convective heat resistance on the gas side, causing a substantial reduction in gas-side heat resistance as gas velocity increases, resulting in a considerable overall reduction in heat resistance. The fluid flow pressure drop showed similar results between the CFD calculations and experimental outcomes.

As the demand for appropriate heat dissipation measures to improve product stability and performance continues to increase and product design becomes highly integrated, research to improve heat transfer performance while maintaining the same area or size is required. In this study, the sample-shaped aluminum plate was treated as upper-coating, and the thickness of the coating was divided into 1mm, 2mm, and 3mm, respectively, and the coating material was applied with silver, copper, and graphene. The temperature condition of the heat source was set to 473K, and heat dissipation analysis was performed under natural convection. The thermal performance was compared and analyzed through temperature distribution, flow velocity distribution, and heat flux, and it was confirmed that the high thermal conductivity of graphene compared to other materials had a dominant effect on the increase in the conduction heat transfer rate. And it was confirmed that the high surface temperature of the graphene coating also increased the heat transfer rate by convection, thereby enhancing the heat dissipation effect.

Due to environmental pollution, regulations on existing petroleum-based fuels are increasing day by day. LNG is in the spotlight as an eco-friendly fuel that does not emit NOx or SOx, but its boiling point is -163°C, so it needs to be handled with care. Materials that can be used at the above temperature are defined by IMO through the IGC Code. Among them, 9% nickel steel has great advantages in yield strength and tensile strength under cryogenic conditions, but it is difficult to use in arc welding such as FCAW for various reasons. This study is a study to apply fiber laser welding to solve this problem. As a previous study, this study conducted a study to find a welding heat source. After performing bead on plate welding, the optimal heat source was derived by analyzing the shape of the bead and adjusting the parameters of the heat source model. In this case, by applying the multi-island genetic algorithm, which is a global optimization algorithm, not the intuition of the researcher, accurate results could be derived in a wide range.

Solar energy is being constantly studied since it can reduce green house gas by adapting cooling and heating system of domestic architecture as a clean energy source. This study confirmed the reliability of experimental apparatus with temperature measurement of each components by developing cooling and heating system which is combined with artificial solar thermal energy using halogen lamp and refrigerator, examined the heat transfer characteristics according to room internal temperature and lamp distance with the materials of emissive plate (acrylic, copper and stainless). As a result of it, We found that the room internal temperature 18℃ was finer than 21℃ and 24℃ in case of heat transfer rate according to each components. Also, copper in the material change of emissive plate was showed finer heat transfer effects than stainless because of high thermal absorptivity when lamp distance was short.

The temperature distributions were numerically calculated for the two-dimensional transient conduction heat transfer problem of a square plate. The obtained temperature distributions were converted into colors to create images, and they were provided as learning and test data of CNN. Classification and regression networks were constructed to predict representative wall temperatures through CNN analysis. As results, the classification networks predicted the representative wall temperatures with an accuracy of 99.91% by erroneously predicting only 1 out of 1100 images. The regression networks predicted the representative wall temperatures within errors of C. From this fact, it was confirmed that the deep learning techniques are applicable to the transient conduction heat transfer problems.

선박 및 해양구조물에서 사용하고 있는 고강도 알루미늄 합금들은 스틸과 비교해서 많은 이점을 가지고 있다. 최근 고강도 알루미늄 합금들은 육상 및 해양에 폭넓게 사용되고 있으며, 특히, 특수목적 선박의 선체 외판구조에 많이 이용되고 있고, 교량 구조물에 사용되는 상자 구조물, 그리고 고정식 해양플랫폼의 상부구조에서 소비율이 증가하고 있다. 알루미늄 재료는 스틸보다 1/3의 중량 구성비를 통하여, 구성 중량을 줄이게 하여 연비 절감을 가능하게 한다. 일반적인 강구조물의 응력-변형률 관계와 비교하면, 용접가공에 따라 발생하는 열영향부의 존재로 인하여 상당히 다르게 나타난다. 왜냐하면, 강구조물과 비교하면 열전도율이 높아서, 열영향부(heat affected zone, HAZ)가 남아 있어 구조 강도 저하를 가져온다. 본 논문에서는 MIG(Metal inert gas) 용접 때문에 발생하는 열영향부를 고려하고, 종방향 압축 하중에 대한 알루미늄 보강판의 좌굴 및 최종강도 특성을 분석하였다. MIG 용접에 따른 열영향부를 고려한 경우, 좌굴 및 최종강도 모두 감소하며, 열영향부의 범위가 15 mm부터 항복 이후 에너지 소실률이 크게 나타나며, 25 mm 이상부터는 그 차이가 크지 않다. 따라서, 알루미늄 합금재료를 적용한 보강판의 구조 거동을 파악하기 위해서는 열영향부 영향에 대한 검토 및 분석이 중요하다.

The purpose of this study is to experimentally figure out thermal performances of a newly developed wavy patterned heat plates(first heat plates) which are known to have better thermal performances than the conventional heat plates. Three types of products were made with high and low chevron angled plates. The test results show that overall heat transfer coefficients and pressure drops increased with flow rates and chevron angles just like other studies. Another purpose of this study is to find a way to reduce pressure drops while maintaining or even improving the heat transfer characteristics of the first heat plates. Research on optimization of the distribution area on the heat plate to achieve the even fluid distribution was conducted, and then the second heat plates were developed to reflect the research results. Another new three types of products with the second heat plates were manufactured and tested, too. The test results of the second heat plates were compared with those of the first heat plates to find out how the distribution area contributed to the thermal performances of the heat plates. The comparison showed that distribution area optimization could affect thermal performances of the high chevron angled plate positively, but the low chevron angled plate had little effect from the optimization. This is considered to be because the low chevron angled plate itself has a characteristic that the pressure drop is small.

A gasketed plate heat exchanger(GPHE) requires a much smaller installation space than a shell & tube heat exchanger because of its compact and good thermal performances. However, GPHEs have a disadvantage of being relatively vulnerable to high temperature and pressure due to rubber gaskets. To overcome a GPHEs’ disadvantage, Welded Block type Plate Heat Exchangers(WBPHE) have been developed. The flow pattern and heat transfer principle of WBPHE are very similar to GPHEs, so they are very compact and can be applied to high temperature and pressure. In this study, the structure and characteristics of WBPHE are briefly introduced, and its thermal performances were conducted experimentally using hot and cold water in the Reynolds number’s range from 5,500 to 10,000. Test results were compared with the experimental correlations of other researchers, which shows that significant deviations were noticed in the heat transfer coefficient predictions with a deviation range from 31% to 85%. The previous friction factor correlations also predicted the current results with big errors from 25% to 45%. These deviations are expected to be due to different chevron angles between previous studies and the current study, and also the end-plate effect is expected to be one of the potential causes that led to these deviations.

In this study, a plate heat exchanger was developed for applying to a heat pump system using the heated effluent from a thermal power plant. Since seawater is used as a heat source and a heat sink in this heat pump system, Titanium was chosen as the heat plate material for its high corrosion resistance. One of the purposes of the study was to get an optimized distribution area in the heat plate in order that better thermal performances could be achieved through equal flow rates along the heat transfer area. It was revealed from the performance tests that the mean heat transfer rate and the overall heat transfer coefficient were enhanced by 2.9% and 7.7%, respectively, compared to those measured before the design optimization.

The qualities of rice cooked on heat plate, induction heat and heat plate with pressure, were investigated. The weight, volume, water soluble index (WSI), hydration by SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope), and gelatinization by DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry), as well as the consumer acceptability of cooked rice were analyzed. The weight, volume and WSI of rice cooked on heat plate with pressure were higher than those of rice cooked on heat plate and induction heat. The rice cooked on heat plate with pressure also showed higher degree of hydration and gelatinization, and lower degree of enthalpy of gelatinization than the rice cooked on heat plate and induction heat for 5~15 min. The consumer acceptability revealed that the odor, appearance, taste, texture and overall acceptance of rice cooked on induction heat were better than those of rice cooked on heat plate and heat plate with pressure. During storage in a cooker for 0~12 h, there was a decrease in the consumer acceptability of cooked rice. Overall results indicate that the qualities of rice cooked on induction heat and heat plate with pressure were higher than those of rice cooked on heat plate.

The heat transfer of Jet impingement is a very effective technique for exchanging high heat fluxs between a heated plate and a fluid. The purpose of current investigation is to carry out the experiment in order to study heat transfer characteristics between a vertical round water jet and a horizontal surface for different flow rates and geometric conditions. The effect of flow rates on heat transfer were investigated. The data obtained in this study are represented in terms of Nusselt number as a function of Reynolds and Peclet numbers. The correlation for the Nusselts number in terms of the Peclet number and  was obtained. The proposed correlation predicts the current data of heat transfer very well.

This study investigated a developed process for producing a composite bipolar plate having excellent conductivity by using coal tar pitch and phenol resin as binders. We used a pressing method to prepare a compact of graphite powder mixed with binders. Resistivity of the impregnated compact was observed as heat treatment temperature was increased. It was observed that pore sizes of the GCTP samples increased as the heat treatment temperature increased. There was not a great difference between the flexural strengths of GCTP-IM and CPR-IM as the heat treatment temperature was increased. The resistivity of GPR700-IM, heat treated at 700℃ using phenolic resin as a binder, was 4829 μΩ·cm which was best value in this study. In addition, it is expected that with the appropriate selection of carbon powder and further optimization of process we can produce a composite bipolar plate which has excellent properties.
