〈학술논문〉 삼각형 형상의 단일수평채널 내에서 응축되는 증기의 열 특성

In the papermaking processes it is well known that the dryer uses the largest amount of energy and has costly components compared with other devices. Many researchers thus conducted to reduce energy and cost of the dryer. Recently Argonne national laboratory has developed the concept of a multiport cylinder dryer that the steam flows along longitudinally oriented mini-channels which are close to inner surface of cylinder dryer. They reported that the innovative design minimizes the condensate layer thickness. However, systematically experimental data are not available. So in this paper we will conduct experiments to study thermal characteristics of condensing steam in a single horizontal mini-channel with triangular shape, representative of a multiport cylinder dryer. Based on the results, we confirm previous results and observe the condensing heat transfer coefficient in the single horizontal mini-channel with triangular shape.
