Abstract

The present study has been carried out to elucidate the unsteady temperature characteristics of a refrigerator near gasket region by measuring time dependent temperature measurements. From the measured values of the time dependent temperature inside and outside region of a refrigerator, one could see that the temperature varies periodically with time from the effect of refrigerator operation. The measured mean temperatures at the wall had great different value from the previous other research results conducted by numeric ofheat transfer using improperfheat transfer boundary condition. The present study could give the experiment ofdata for the properfnumeric ofheat transfer an oysis and suggest more accuratefheat transfer boundary conditions for the inside and outside of a refrigerator.

본 연구는 냉장고 가스켓 주위에서 시간변화에 따른 온도를 측정하여 비정상상태 온도 특성을 규명하기 위해 수행되었다. 가스켓 주위 냉장고 내외부에서의 시간변화 온도 측정을 살펴보면 냉장고의 가동에 따라 주기적인 온도 변화를 관찰할 수 있다. 측정된 온도결과를 보면 열전달 전산해석을 수행하였던 이전의 연구들이 경계조건을 적절히 사용하지 않았기 때문에 이전의 연구결과와 많은 차이를 보여주고 있다. 본 연구에서는 적합한 열전달 전산해석 수행을 위해 실험을 통한 온도 분포를 도출하고 가스켓 주위의 냉장고 내외부의 정확한 열전달 경계조건을 제시하는 것을 목적으로 하여 수행하였다.
