탄소-탄소 복합체는 고온에서 기계적 특성이 우수하여 항공기 브레이크와 같은 고온안정성, 강한 기계적 성질이 필요한 부분에서 활용되고 있다. 하지만 고온에서 심각한 산화현상을 보이는 단점 때문에 산화방지를 위한 표면 코팅이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 여러 가지의 표면 코팅막을 적용한 탄소-탄소 복합체의 고온산화안정성 특성평가를 실시하였다. 탄소-탄소 복합체 시편표면에 여러 가지 인산염계의 내산화코팅 용액을 도포하여 열처리 코팅하였다. 내산화 코팅막을 적용한 시편은 고온로에서 특별한 온도 프로그램으로 가열하면서 흐르는 공기중에서 산화시험을 행하였고, 산화속도를 측정평가 하였다. 또한, TG/DTA, 입도분석기, 엑스선 회절분석기(XRD), 주사전자현미경(SEM)을 이용하여 시편에 대한 특성평가를 실시하였다.

In order to development of a new wall structure type thermal diode for energy saving, the numerical studies have been performed for natural convection across an rectangular enclosure with the various lengthes of the heat source and sink plate. The governing equations for the two-dimensional, laminar, natural convection process in an enclosure are discretized by the control volume approach which insures the conservative characteristics to be satisfied in the calculation domain, and solved by a elliptic SIMPLE algorithm. The momentum and energy equations are coupled through the buoyancy term.

An experimental study on convection heat transfer characteristics from a heated tube to an oscillating flow has been carried out, . This problem is of particular interest in the design of heat exchangers in Stirling cycle machines. Experimental system has been developed to measure temporal variations of temperature inside a heater tube during oscillating modes in a Stirling cycle machine. The dependence of temperature distributions and heat transfer rates on the oscillating frequency as well as the swept volume ratio and the mean pressure of a Stirling cycle machine is investigated in detail. The experimental results indicate that the measured temporal variations of temperature become nearly sinusoidal. The amplitude of temperature variation in the core of the tube is much more substantial than that near the tube wall, whereas the reverse is true for pulsating flows. It is also found that the heat transfer rate is increased significantly as the oscillating frequency or oscillating amplitude or the mean pressure in a tube is increased.

Research about hybrid solar air-water heater that can make heated air and hot water was conducted as a part of improving efficiency of solar thermal energy. At this experiment, ability of making heating air and hot water was investigated and compared with traditional solar air heater and flat plate solar collector for hot water when air or liquid was heated respectively. Comparing hybrid solar air-water heater that used in this experiment to other solar air heater studied already, it has a lower efficiency at same mass flow rate. Air channel structure, fin's shape and arrangement in the air channel result in these difference then the ability of air heating need to be improved with changing these thing. In case of making hot water, performance was shown as similar with traditional system although the air channels were established beneath absorbing plate. But the heat loss coefficient was shown higher value by installing of air channel. Also the performance of hot water making was shown lower value at same liquid mass flow rate with traditional flat plate solar collector for hot water. So the necessity of performance improvement at lower mass flow rate of each heating medium can be confirmed.

In this study, a thermal storage performance and characteristics of daily operation were investigated when the air and the liquid were heated simultaneously by a hybrid solar air-water heater that can make hot water as well as heated air. The hybrid solar air-water heater is kind of a flat plate solar collector that can make hot water and heated air by installing air channel beneath absorber plate of traditional flat plate solar collector for hot water. As a result of daily operation, maximum water temperature reached in a thermal storage was shown $44^{\circ}C$ on 73kg/h of air mass flow rate and about $40^{\circ}C$ on 176kg/h of air mass flow rate. Thus, the necessity of heating water in thermal storage by operating only liquid side was confirmed when the temperature of liquid in thermal storage is lower than we need. In case of efficiency investigated on daily operation, the thermal efficiency of the liquid side was decreased with increment of the inlet liquid temperature and decrement of the solar radiation, but efficiency of the air side was increased with increment of inlet liquid temperature difference as the traditional solar air heater. Total thermal efficiency of the collector was shown from 65.85% to 78.23% and it was decreased with increment of the inlet liquid temperature and decrement of solar radiation same as the traditional system.

The required energy for the heat treatment of pine log was evaluated in this study. A proper heat treatment of pine log infected by pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) can prevent spreading of the infection by pinewood nematode and make the infected pinewood valuable again. The FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) heat treatment standard for various types of infected wood for which a heat treatment of the core part of the wood is necessary is 30 minutes at $56^{\circ}C$, taking into account the international standards for phytosanitary measures (ISPM No. 15). In this study, the energy consumption during the heat treatment was separated into two kinds of energy, initial energy for heating kiln drier and to reach set point temperature and relative humidity and the required energy supplementing heat loss. The initial required energy per unit time is greater than that during the treatment. The energy consumption per unit time varied little during the heat treatment. As a result, the set point relative humidity with set dry bulb temperature and density of wood dependent on moisture content are very important factors to change energy consumption in the experiment. The heat treatment at higher temperature and higher humidity levels requires more energy consumption but less treatment time. It is expected that a more effective energy program could be planed for the heat treatment of pine log through this study.

A new film cooling method to protect the pylon injector from aerodynamic heating for a scramjet combustor is proposed and verified with numerical methods. The conditions for the Mach 8 flight at an altitude of 35km are considered. Air is considered as a coolant. Three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations with $k-{\omega}$ SST turbulence model are used. A downward injection of coolant from the top of the pylon gives higher cooling effects with less mass flow rate of coolant than the upward coolant injection from bottom of the pylon. Also, the downward injection shows little flow separation due to the favorable pressure gradient and does not disturb the flowfields near pylon injector, which results in reduction of pressure losses.

The objective of this work is to obtain the experimental data for the heat transfer processes occurring both on the inside and outside surfaces of containment steel wall with dry and wet outer surface conditions in the passive containment cooling system. The test model represented a 60$^{\circ}$ section of a containment vessel based on the AP 600 geometry. Major linear dimensions of the test model ore reduced tv a factor of ten. To simulate the decay heat a steam generator heated by electricity was placed in the test model. The maximum heat flux was 8.91 kW/$m^2$. Two types of tests were performed. The one was the tort on the natural convection of air without water film flow. The other was the evaporative heat transfer test with the falling water film flow and natural air draft. no test result shooed that the heat transfer capability by the natural convection from the containment to the air without oater film flow was limited at about 1.48 kW/$m^2$ heat flux. It was found that the heat removal capability was remarkably enhanced in the tests with the waster film flow and air draft. The obtained heat transfer data ore compared with the existing correlations.
