The thermal performance of cooling towers is affected by the temperature of inlet water, wet bulb temperature of entering air add water-air flow rate. In this study, the effects of these variables are simulated using NTU-method and experimentally investigated for the counter-flow cooling towers. The simulation program to evaluate these variables which affect the performance of cooling tower was developed. The maximum errors between the results of simulations and experiments were 3.8% under the standard design conditions and 5.4% under the other conditions. The performance was increased up to 46~50% as the water loading was increased from $6.8m^3$/$hr\cdot m^2$ to $15.9m^3$/$hr\cdot m^2$. The range was reduced up to 56~42% when the wet bulb temperature of the entering air was increased from $22^{\circ}C\; to\; 29^{\circ}C.$

Characteristics of heat release process, while the Wigner energy was drawn off the graphite during DSC(Differential Scanning Calorimenter) measurement as an example of annealing process which is one of release methods of Wigner energy that is contained in the irradiated graphite, was studied. Linear temperature rise method in DSC operation was selected to estimate the total Wigner energy content and the heat release rate of each graphite samples, which were located in several positions in the thermal column in KRR-2 research reactor. As an annealing process in DSC operation Wigner energy of the irradiated graphite samples were totally released by heat supplying to the graphite from room temperature to $500^{\circ}C$, in DSC. Characteristics of Wigner energy release from the graphite sample was well correlated with the various activation energy model of the kinetic equation.

We studied the phase formation and the effect of electrical properties of PZT thin films with changing the oxygen partial pressure in cooling after deposition of PZT thin film by reactive sputtering method. The roughness of thin film increased with decreasing the oxygen partial pressure in cooling due to the evaporation on the surface ofthin films and the grain size was not changed very much. The hysteresis property of PZT thin film was improved toward having a good squareness with increasing the cooling oxygen partial pressure. We observed the decrease of remanent polarization, retained polarization and coercive field with decreasing the oxygen partial pressure. Dielectric constant decreased gradually and internal bias field increased in the measurement of dielectric constant-voltage property with decreasing cooling oxygen partial pressure. We observed the increase of nonswitched polarization in the measurement of field accelerated retention and the decrease of nonswitched polarization with increasing the bias time.

These days, Uncooled IR Systems are more popular in the area of defense and aerospace than before. Uncooled IR Systems are widely used as core technology for making unmanned systems and detecting enemy objects during the day and night in the distance. Recently, researches on TEC-less IRFPA have been increased to minimize the power consumption and to make a smaller system than before. For this, it needs to find adequate NUC(Non-Uniformity Correction) coefficients as FPA(Focal Plane Array) temperature changes. In this paper, we propose a new NUC coefficient estimating technique, DCCE-LI(Dynamic Calibration Coefficients Estimation with Linear Interpolation), for TEC-less IRFPA. It is based on a linear interpolation method and it can estimate NUC coefficients in real-time. So, by testing and evaluating it with some IR images, we conclude that the quality of IR images using proposed method is better than applying static coefficients.

This study was carried out to develop a simple, rapid and reliable assessment model to predict cold tolerance in Pittosporum tobira, a broad-leaved evergreen commonly used in the southern region of South Korea, which can minimize the possible experimental errors appeared in a electrolyte leakage test for cold tolerance assessment. The modeling procedure comprised of regrowth test and a electrolyte leakage test on the plants exposed to low temperature treatments. The lethal temperatures estimated from the methodological combinations of a electrolyte leakage test including tissue sampling, temperature treatment for potential electrical conductivity, and statistical analysis were compared to the results of the regrowth test. The highest temperature showing the survival rate lower than 50% obtained from the regrowth test was $-10^{\circ}C$ and the lethal was $-10^{\circ}C{\sim}-5^{\circ}C$. Based on the results of the regrowth test, several methodological combinations of electrolyte leakage tests were evaluated and the electrolyte leakage lethal temperatures estimated using leaf sample tissue and freeze-killing method were closest to the regrowth lethal temperature. Evaluating statistical analysis models, linear interpolation had a higher tendency to overestimate the cold tolerance than non-linear regression. Consequently, the optimal model for cold tolerance assessment of P. tobira is composed of evaluating electrolyte leakage from leaf sample tissue applying freeze-killing method for potential electrical conductivity and predicting lethal temperature through non-linear regression analysis.

The present study investigated local heat transfer characteristics around a film cooling hole with variations of free stream turbulence intensity The film cooling jet is injected through a single hole inclined at $30^{\cire}$ to the surface and laterally at $45^{\cire}$ for the blowing rates of 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0. Turbulence generating grids are used at upstream of the film cooling hole to change the turbulence intensity of free stream. Free stream turbulence intensity without grids is 0.5%. Two different turbulence generating grid is installed at different at locations upstream of the film cooling hole so that turbulence intensity of free stream varies from 3% to 10%. The naphthalene sublimation technique has been employed to determine local heat/ mass transfer coefficients. With low free stream turbulence intensity, heat/mass transfer augmented area by coolant or free stream is distinguished evidently. However, when free stream turbulence intensity is high, heat transfer is enhanced in all region and heat transfer enhanced regions are not clearly divided due to vigorous mixing of coolant and free stream. The peak values of heat/mass coefficients are decreased and the distributions of heat/mass transfer coefficients are more uniform with high turbulence intensity. The effect of turbulence intensity on heat transfer characteristics is more evident as blowing rate is higher.

The effect of extraction methods, such as reflux extraction (RE), autoclave extraction (AE), low temperature high pressure extraction (LTPE) and ultrasonification extraction (USE) on antioxidant activity of various species of Artemisia (Artemisia capillaris T., Artemisia princeps P., Artemisia annua L.) was investigated. The extraction yield of RE and AE was higher than other methods tested for all Artemisia. The total polyphenol and flavonoid content of Artemisia sp. extracts from RE was highest of the extraction methods tested. The total polyphenol and flavonoid content of A. capillaris T. extracted by RE was 260.82 mg GAE/g and 11.52 mg RHE/g, respectively. The A. capillaris T. extract showed higher DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity than that of the other tested Artemisia sp. Nitrite scavenging activity and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity of various extracts from RE was 45.48% and 68.29% (A. capillaris T.), 45.73% and 61.43% (A. princeps P.), and 44.25% and 58.19% (A. annua L.), respectively. The RE method was the most effective method for extracting antioxidant substances from various A. capillaris T. compared with AE, LTPE and USE. These results suggest that extracts of Artemisia sp. from RE can be used as bioactive and functional materials in the food industry.

We present the effect of the critical cooling rate during rapid solidification on the nucleation of precipitates in an Fe₇₅B₁₃P₅Nb₂Hf₁C₄ (at.%) alloy. The thermophysical properties of the rapidly solidified Fe₇₅B₁₃P₅Nb₂Hf₁C₄ liquids, which were obtained at various cooling rates with various sizes of gas-atomized powder during a high-pressure inert gas-atomization process, were evaluated. The cooling rate of the small-particle powder (≤20 ㎛) was 8.4×10⁵ K/s, which was 13.5 times faster than that of the large-particle powder (20 to 45 mm; 6.2×10⁴ K/s) under an atomized temperature. A thermodynamic calculation model used to predict the nucleation of the precipitates was confirmed by the microstructural observation of MC-type carbide in the Fe₇₅B₁₃P₅Nb₂Hf₁C₄ alloy. The primary carbide phase was only formed in the large-particle gas-atomized powder obtained during solidification at a slow cooling rate compared to that of the small-particle powder.
