The vehicle industry requires superior technology that can increase the efficiency of the battery of an electric vehicle. A coolant heater that can optimize the temperature of the battery is one of the most effective techniques for cold environments. However, the vibrations generated by this device can cause major complications, such as leakage and system errors. Therefore, the vibrations of the device must be suppressed to improve the stability. In this study, the fastening conditions of a coolant heater were analyzed using a computer simulation to investigate the natural frequencies and mode shapes which reflect the primary reasons for the largest vibrations under the given operating conditions. The results showed that six-bolted joints could considerably improve the stability of the fastening device

A Urea-SCR(Selective Catalytic Reactor) system, which converts nitrogen oxides into nitrogen and water in the presence of a reducing agent, creates a major exhaust gas aftertreatment system for NOx reduction among other compounds. With regard to vehicle applications, a urea solution was chosen based on its eutectic composition of a 32.5wt% urea-water solution. An important advantage of this eutectic composition is that its melting point of $-11.7^{\circ}C$ is sufficiently low to avoid solidification in cold environments. However, the storage tanks must be heated separately in case of low ambient temperature levels to ensure a sufficient amount of liquid is available during scheduled start ups. In this study, therefore, a numerical investigation of three-dimensional unsteady heating problems analyzed to understand the melting processes and heat transfer characteristics including liquid volume fraction, temperature distributions, and temperature profiles. The investigations were performed using Fluent 6.3 commercial software that modeled coolant and electric heater models based on a urea solution. It is shown that the melting performance with the electric heater is higher than a coolant heater and is more efficient.

KSTAR(Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research)의 보조 가열장치 중에 하나인 중성입자 빔 가열장치의 열량을 실시간으로 측정할 수 있는 시스템을 개발하였다. 실시간으로 열량을 측정하기위해 중성입자 빔 발생장치의 말단에 위치한 열량계(Calorimeter)의 냉각수 입 출구 온도를 온도센서 중의 하나인 열전대를 이용하여 측정하고 이를 열량 측정을 위해 개발한 알고리듬을 이용하여 실시간으로 중성입자 빔의 열량으로 연산한다. 연산된 열량은 사용자 인터페이스 화면에 출력하여 매 실험마다 열량계에 입사된 열량을 실시간으로 확인이 가능하도록 하였다.

In this study, the energy conversion equipment from the radiation energy to mechanical energy by using n­pentane as the operating fluid was constructed and the performance to pump the water was tested for the utilization of solar powered water pump. The equipment was designed optimally, after the theoretical analyses of the water pumping head and water quantity per cycle were done. The pentane vapour temperature in the condenser and the temperature of the outlet water from the condenser became lowered and the heat transfer rate became higher with decreasing the water inlet level to the condenser. The temperature difference between the condenser and the water tank was significant. Therefore, the distance between the water tank and condenser was recommended to be shorten and the diameter of their connecting pipe was recommended to be narrow in order to reduce the resistance of the fluid passage and improve the heat transfer rate. The amount of water pumped was 1.6­2.4 liters. Mass flow rate of the cooling water became lowered when the cooling water pipe was prolonged from the condenser to improve the heat transfer rate.

디젤엔진에서 발생되는 PM과 $NO_X$는 강화되는 배기규제의 주요 저감대상으로서 이의 저감을 위한 다양한 후처리장치가 개발되고 있다. 이중 Urea-SCR은 $NO_X$의 전환율이 높고 연비에 미치는 영향이 작기 때문에 $NO_X$저감을 위한 최선의 장치로 인식되고 있다. 하지만, 우레아 수용액의 물성치 특성으로 인하여 동절기 $-20^{\circ}C$이하로 내려가는 지역에서 동결되는 문제점을 해결해야한다. 따라서 이러한 우레아 저장탱크에 해동 시스템을 적용하여 시동초기 우레아를 적정 시간내에 안정적으로 공급가능한 기술의 확보가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 요소수 저장탱크 내부에 냉각수 순환 가열방식(CH)과 전기 가열방식(EH)을 이용하여 동결된 요소수의 해동현상에 대한 3차원 비정상상태 수치 해석을 수행하였다. 이를 통하여 해동 과정 중 나타난 액상분율, 온도영역 그리고 자연대류를 분석하여 각 가열 방식에 대한 해동특성을 비교하였으며 순수 갈륨 융해 실험 결과값과 수치 해석 결과값를 통하여 수치 해석 방법을 검증하였다. 결론적으로 1,000ml의 우레아 수용액이 확보되기까지의 시간은 CH의 경우, 275s, 그리고 EH의 경우, 230s임을 알 수 있었다.

Shell & Tube type Oil Cooler is widely used for hydraulic presses, die casting machines, generation equipments, machine tools and construction heavy machinery. Temperature of oil in the hydraulic system changes viscosity and thickness of oil film. They have a bad effect to performance and lubrication of hydraulic machinery, so it is important to know exactly the heat exchanging efficiency of oil cooler for controlling oil temperature. But most Korean manufacturers do not have test equipment for oil cooler, so they cannot carry out the efficiency test of oil cooler and it is impossible to verify its performance. This paper includes information of construction of necessary utilities for oil cooler test and design and manufacture of test equipment. One can select the optimum product by obtaining performance data through tests of various kinds of oil coolers. And also the paper developed a program which can be easily used for design of 2D and 3D drawings of oil cooler.
