ABSTRAK KARAKTERISTIK PERPINDAHAN PANAS KONVEKSI ALAMIAH ALIRAN NANOFLUIDA AL2O3-AIR DI DALAM PIPA ANULUS VERTIKAL. Hasil beberapa penelitian menunjukan bahwa nanofluida memiliki karakteristik termal yang lebih baik dibandingkan dengan fluida konvensional (air). Berkaitan dengan hal tersebut, saat ini sedang berkembang pemikiran untuk menggunakan nanofluida sebagai fluida perpindahan panas alternatif pada sistem pedingin reaktor. Sementara itu, konveksi alamiah di dalam pipa anulus vertikal merupakan salah satu mekanisme perpindahan panas yang penting dan banyak ditemukan pada reaktor riset TRIGA, reaktor daya generasi baru dan alat konversi energi lainnya. Namun disisi lain karakteristik perpindahan panas nanofluida di dalam pipa anulus vertikal belum banyak diketahui. Oleh karena itu penting dilakukan secara berkesinambungan penelitian-penelitian untuk menganalisis perpindahan panas nanofluida di dalam pipa anulus vertikal. Pada penelitian telah dilakukan analisis numerik menggunakan program computer CFD (computational of fluids dynamic) terhadap karakteristik perpindahan panas konveksi alamiah aliran nanofluida Al2O3-air konsentrasi 2% volume di dalam pipa anulus vertikal. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan terjadi peningkatan kinerja perpindahan panas (bilangan Nuselt- NU) sebesar 20,5% - 35%. Pada moda konveksi alamiah dengan bilangan 2,4708e+09 £ Ra £ 1,9554e+13 diperoleh korelasi empirik untuk air adalah dan korelasi empirik untuk nanofluida Al2O3-air adalah   Kata kunci: Nanofluida Al2O3-air, konveksi alamiah, pipa anulus vertikal     ABSTRACT THE CHARACTERISTICS OF NATURAL CONVECTIVE HEAT TRANSFER OF AL2O3–WATER NANOFLUIDS FLOW IN A VERTICAL ANNULUS PIPE. Results of several research have shown that nanofluids have better thermal characteristics compared to conventional fluid (water). In this regard, currently developing ideas for using nanofluids as an alternative heat transfer fluid in the reactor coolant system. Meanwhile the natural convection in a vertical annulus pipe is one of the important mechanisms of heat transfer and is found at the TRIGA research reactor, the new generation nuclear power plants and other energy conversion devices. On the other hand the heat transfer characteristics of nanofluids in a vertical annulus pipe has not been known. Therefore, it is important to do research continuously to analyze the heat transfer nanofluids in a vertical annulus pipe. In the research has been carried out numerical analysis by using computer code of CFD (computational of fluids dynamic) on natural convection heat transfer characteristics of nanofluids flow of Al2O3-water 2% volume in the vertical annulus pipe. The results showed an increase in heat transfer performance (Nusselt numbers - NU) by 20.5% - 35%. In natural convection mode with Rayleigh numbers 2.4708e+09 £ Ra £ 1.9554e+13 obtained empirical correlations for water is and empirical correlations for Al2O3-water nanofluids is .   Keywords: Al2O3-water nanofluids, the natural convection, the vertical annulus pipe

It is well known that attaching fins on the tubes surfaces can enhance the heat transfer into and out from the phase change materials (PCMs). This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the thermal characteristics of finned coil latent heat storage unit (LHSU) using paraffin as the phase change material (PCM). The paraffin LHSU is a rectangular cube consists of continuous horizontal multibended tubes attached vertical fins at the pitches of 2.5, 5.0, and 7.5 mm that creates the heat transfer surface. The shell side along with the space around the tubes and fins is filled with the material RT54 allocated to store energy of water, which flows inside the tubes as heat transfer fluid (HTF). The measurement is carried out under four different water flow rates: 1.01, 1.30, 1.50, and 1.70 L/min in the charging and discharging process, respectively. The temperature of paraffin and water, charging and discharging wattage, and heat transfer coefficient are plotted in relation to the working time and water flow rate.

Thick-wall components of the thermal power unit limit maximum heating and cooling rates during start-up or shut-down of the unit. A method of monitoring the thermal stresses in thick-walled components of thermal power plants is presented. The time variations of the local heat transfer coefficient on the inner surface of the pressure component are determined based on the measurement of the wall temperature at one or six points respectively for one- and three-dimensional unsteady temperature fields in the component. The temperature sensors are located close to the internal surface of the component. A technique for measuring the fastchanging fluid temperature was developed. Thermal stresses in pressure components with complicated shapes can be computed using FEM (Finite Element Method) based on experimentally estimated fluid temperature and heat transfer coefficient
