Cooling the in-wheel motor in electric vehicles is critical to its performance and durability. In this study, thermal flow analysis was conducted by evaluating the thermal performance of two conventional cooling models for in-wheel motors under the continuous rating base speed condition. For conventional model #1, in which cooling oil was stagnant in the lower end of the motor, the maximum temperature of the coil was $221.7^{\circ}C$; for conventional model #2, in which cooling oil was circulated through the exit and entrance of the housing and jig, the maximum temperature of the coil was $155.4^{\circ}C$. Therefore, both models proved unsuitable for in-wheel motors since the motor control specifications limited the maximum temperature to $150^{\circ}C$.

Heat treatment with carburized quenching process is widely used for automotive helical gear to improve its surface properties of hardness and strength. However, the gear can be deformed with the process over the allowable tolerance, which possibly makes noise, vibration and heat problems in operation. In this study, deformation of helical gear during heat treatment of carburized quenching was analyzed with a numerical method, incorporating coupled calculations of thermal conduction, carbon diffusion, phase transformation and thermal stresses. With the analysis, the effect of coolant temperature in quenching on the deformation was investigated. The result of the analysis revealed that the higher the coolant temperature became, the more change of helix angle and the more compressive stresses in the surface generated, because of delayed generation of martensite in the part.

The evaporation cooling phenomenon of a droplet containing a surfactant on a heated surface has been studied experimentally. The two kinds of heater modules made of brass and Teflon$^{TM}$ were tested to investigate the cooling characteristics of droplet. Solutions of water containing Sodium Lauryl Sulfate(0 ppm, 100 ppm, 1000 ppm) were tested in the experiments. The results showed that the contact angle decrease as the concentration of surfactant increases. The tendency did not very with different heated solid materials. As initial temperature of the heated surface becomes high, time averaged heat flux increases and evaporation time decreases with the denser concentration of surfactant. Therefore, water with denser concentration of surfactant could be effective to cool flammable materials. However, the effect of surfactant becomes low as the material temperature is higher than the boiling temperature of water.

This paper deals with a parametric study on inclined elliptical dimples to enhance heat transfer in a channel. Three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Naiver-Stokes equations are solved to estimate flow and heat transfer in dimpled channel. As turbulence closure, the low-Re shear stress transport model is employed. Two non-dimensional geometric variables, dimple ellipse diameter ratio and angle of main diameter to flow direction are selected for the parametric study. The inclined elliptical dimples show higher heat-transfer performance but with higher pressure drop compared to the circular dimples. And there is an optimum inclination angle that gives the maximum heat transfer.

The characteristics of evaporation cooling of single droplet on a heated surface were studied experimentally. The two kinds of heater modules were tested to measure cooling characteristics of metal surface (high conductivity) and Teflon surface (low-energy surface, low conductivity). The results showed that time averaged heat flux during droplet evaporation increased exponentially with initial surface temperatures of brass, copper and steel. The heat flux and evaporation time did not varied with metal conductivities. However, the temperature drop after the deposition of droplet was larger on Teflon than on the metals. Thus, the correlation of interface temperature between liquid droplet and metal surface was proposed as a function of the initial surface temperature of heating materials, which could be applied to both metal and non-metal ones.

The cooling system for electric devices of hybrid vehicles is examined. The present system is composed of coolant paths, inlet diffuser and heat sinks whose shapes are diamond and circular. In this work, inlet duct and fin arrays are combined in proposed models and examined by numerical calculations. Nusselt number and Reynolds number are considered for heat transfer performance. Main focus lies on the looking for optimal model for the cooling system adopted to compact driving module of a hybrid vehicle. The optimal model shows uniform flow patterns in the inlet diffuser and secondary flows after the fins attached to heat source. It is found that the vortical flows around the heat sinks are effective for heat removal mechanism.

Evaporation cooling phenomena of droplets containing fire suppression agents on a hot metal surface were experimentally investigated. Solution of water containing potassium acetate (30-50% by weight) and sodium bromide (10-30% by weight) were used in the experiments, and surface temperatures were ranged from 70-116$^{\circ}C$. The evaporation time of the droplet on the heated surface was determined by using frame-by-frame analysis of the video records. It is found that the apparent evaporation time is shorter in turns of pure water, sodium bromide solution and potassium acetate solution. However, the time averaged heat flux is higher in turns of pure water, sodium bromide solution and potassium acetate solution. In-depth temperature variation of the hot metal does not occur significantly by the kinds of additive.

A good understanding of the heat transfer distribution is very important to suppress the deformation of steel products. In this study, the local heat transfer coefficients are experimentally investigated to understand the heat transfer distribution of thick steel plates with even flat spray nozzle. The steel slabs are cooled down from the initial temperature of about $1000^{\circ}C$ , and the local heat transfer coefficients and surface temperatures are calculated from the measured temperature-time history. The results show that the local heat transfer coefficients of spray cooling are dominated by the local droplet flow rate, and in proportion to becoming more distant from the center of heat transfer surface, the local heat transfer coefficients decrease with the decrease of the local droplet flow rate.

In recent applications, map controlled thermostat has been adapted to optimize engine cooling system and vehicle cooling system. First of all, this strategy is focused on improving fuel consumption rate and reducing emissions, especially unburned hydrocarbon. The object can be obtained through controlling engine metal temperature by varying engine coolant temperature with engine load and speed. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to understand the characteristics of engine metal temperature and heat rejection rate to coolant. From the results of tested engines, it is obvious that fuel consumption rate has more dominant effect on engine metal temperatures than the corresponding engine power does. Also, Re-Nu relation which shows heat rejection rate to coolant in function of air-fuel mixture and engine specifications has been studied. Also, the empirical Re-Nu relation at full loaded engine was developed.

가계가공은 절삭 부위의 냉각작용과 윤활작용을 위해 절삭유를 많이 소모한다. 절삭유는 염소계의 극압첨가제 등이 함유되어 있어 작업자들에게 유독할 뿐만 아니라 대기의 오염을 초래하여 청정생산을 저해하게 되므로 이런 전통적인 방법은 작업자의 직업병으로부터 보호와 환경보호를 위하여 새로운 가공방법으로 변경되어야만 한다. MQL 기계가공 방법은 절삭유를 아주 소량 소모하므로 청정생산을 위한 대안으로 떠오르고 있지만 많은 작업자들이 이에 대한 기술적인 확신이 부족하여 이 방식의 사용을 주저하고 있다. 본 연구는 MQL 가공 방식에서 가공의 특성을 파악하여 표면거칠기에 영향을 미치는 인자와 범위를 찾고자 다양한 실험을 계획하고 그 결과를 분석하였다. 실험의 계획에서는 각 가공의 특성을 잘 나타낼 수 있는 인자와 수준을 선정하고, 다양한 상황의 결과를 분석하여 MQL 가공의 특성과 최적의 가공조건을 도출하였다. 본 연구의 실험 및 분석의 결과로서, 절삭 파라미터와 그의 수준이 가공특성을 잘 반영할 수 있도록 적절히 선택된다면 MQL 기계가공은 표면거칠기 향상 및 원가절감이나 환경보호 측면에서 절삭유 윤활방식을 대체하는 green manufacturing을 위한 대안이 될 수 있음을 보였다.
