In this study, we investigated the hydrodynamic and thermal performance of constructal architectures on the basis of the mass flow rates for a given pressure drop, and we determined the thermal resistance and flow uniformity. The five flow configuration used in this study were the first construct with optimized hydraulic diameter, the second construct with optimized hydraulic diameter, the first construct with non-optimized hydraulic diameter, second construct with non-optimized hydraulic diameter, and a serpentine configuration. The results of our study suggest that the best fluid-flow structure is the second constructal structure with optimized constructal configurations. We also found that in the case of the optimized structure of cooling plates, the heat transfer was remarkably higher and the pumping power was significantly lower than those of traditional channels.

The increase of system weight due to installation of cooling devices adds electrical and mechanical loads of humanoid robot, and in return, results in much heat. Therefore, the weight of cooling system is a critical issue for robot cooling. In this study, we propose non-metallic cold plates to deal with such problems. We compare thermal performances between one metallic cold plate and five different types of non-metallic cold plates. A metallic cold plate is totally made of copper. Five non-metallic PC(polycarbonate) cold plates, which are designed to reduce the overall weight of robot cooling system, are composed of a polycarbonate cover with different types of base plate. The overall heat transfer coefficients per unit mass and thermal resistances are obtained for the cold plates. The metallic cold plate shows the best thermal performance. It is interesting to note that the PC cold plate with an aluminum base plate with 18 channels shows the best overall heat transfer coefficient per unit mass. Most polycarbonate cold plates display fairly comparable thermal performance with more reduced system weight compared to the metallic cold plate.

반도체 생산 공정은 청정 환경을 요구하며, 이를 위해서는 고진공 환경이 필수적인 요소이다. 반도체 생산 라인의 고진공 환경 조성을 위해서는 주로 복합 분자 펌프와 크라이오 펌프가 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 상용 크라이오 펌프에 사용되던 GM 극저온 냉동기를 맥동관 냉동기로 대체하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 맥동관 냉동기는 저온부에 움직이는 부분이 없어 진동이 작고, 신뢰성이 높은 장점이 있어 이를 이용한 크라이오 펌프는 반도체 생산 공정의 공정 정밀도 향상에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 맥동관 냉동기는 크라이오 펌프에 사용하기 위하여 2단으로 구성되며, 저온부가 U자 형상으로 개발되었다. 상용화를 고려하여 로터리 밸브와 위상조절기구가 위치하는 상온부는 일체형으로 제작하였다. 제작된 맥동관 냉동기의 기초 냉각 성능 시험 결과 부하가 없는 조건에서 최저도달온도는 1단과 2단에서 각각 42.53 K과 8.68 K 이었으며, 부하 시험 결과 1단과 2단에서 각각 40 W at 82.97 K, 10 W at 20.51 K의 냉각 능력을 갖는 것으로 측정되었다. 개발된 맥동관 냉동기에 복사차폐막 및 1차, 2차 냉각판을 설치하여 크라이오 펌프를 구성하였고, 기체 질소에 대한 배기 속도 측정 시험을 수행하였다. 배기속도 측정 결과 배기속도는 2차 냉각판의 형상에 크게 영향을 받는 것이 확인되었으며, 약 650 L/의 배기속도를 갖는 것으로 측정되었다. 실험 결과를 바탕으로 크라이오 펌프로 작동시 맥동관 냉동기의 동작 특성 및 배기 속도 향상을 위한 방안을 논의하였다.

디스플레이 산업에 이용되는 적층판(layered plates)의 결합공정 중 냉각공정에서 열팽창계수의 차이로 인해 잔류응력이 발생하고 심하면 적층판에 크랙(crack)이 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 적층판의 결합공정을 대상으로 현상을 분석하고 이 과정을 시뮬레이션하는 해석 프로그램을 개발하였다. 또한 이를 토대로 향후의 새로운 제품에 대해서도 크랙과 같은 문제점을 최소화 할 수 있는 신뢰성 있는 공정 셋업을 제시하기 위해 차원감소법(dimension reduction method)과 근사화 방법인 반응표면법(response surface method), 순차적 근사최적화 기법(Sequential Approximate Optimization, SAO)을 이용하여 신뢰성기반의 강건최적설계를 하였다.

An optimal fuel manifold is suggested to improve the cooling performance of injector face plate. The cooling performance at the center area of the injector face plate is to be augmented while the spatial injection uniformity is maintained. The comparison of the cooling performance of 7 candidates gives the conclusion that the dividing plate from 2-3 injector row to 9-10 injector row is an optimal. The maximum face plate temperature decreases by $27\%$ while the injection uniformity is close to that of the original design. The pressure drop in the fuel manifold of the optimal design is also same as the original design.

A study was performed to measure and analyze the gas-side fouling of heat exchanger to cool the exhaust gas from sludge incinerator at ironworks. The incinerator gas passes through inside of the vertical tubes of heat exchanger to preheat the combustion air. This kind of fouling occurs at the entrance region of the heat exchanger and thus the perforated fouling plate was designed to measure the gas-side fouling and to analyze the particulate deposit. As a result of analysis, the particulate deposition rate was influenced by temperature, particulate composition and size and also the deposition patterns were different according to the location of perforated fouling plate. The computational analysis was performed to obtain the deposition rates at the perforated fouling plate and the calculation showed that the deposition rate was varied with the hole size and particulate size. It was proved that the fouling at the entrance region of heat exchanger could be measured by the perforated fouling plate designed in this study.

Inherent strain method, a hybrid method of experimental and numerical, is known to be very efficient in predicting the plate deformation due to line heating. For the simulation of deformation using inherent strain method, it is important to determine the magnitude and the region of inherent strain properly. Because the phase of steel transforms differently depending on the actual speed of cooling following line heating, it should be also considered in determining the inherent strain. A heat transfer analysis method including the effects of impinging water jet, film boiling, and radiation is proposed to simulate the water cooling process widely used in shipyards. From the above simulation it is possible to obtain the actual speed of cooling and volume percentage of each phase in the inherent strain region of a line heated steel plate. Based on the material properties calculated from the volume percentage of each phase, it should be possible to predict the plate deformations due to line heating with better precision.

This study investigates two-phase cooling system of close-loop by using FC-72 and PCM(Phase change material). The cooling system consists of evaporator, cold plate, micro pump, and condenser. The heat input on the performance of evaporator is appreciated by visualizing the boiling on the evaporator. The heat performance of cooling system is investigated to determine the effects of volume fill ratio change at working fluid, pump flow rate change, and volume fill ratio change at PCM in cold plate. Experimental results show the ideal condition when the volume ratio of working fluid, the pump flowing, and the volume ratio of PCM are 60%, 6ml/min, and 60% respectively.

Because high power with large size cell is used for the battery pack of hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles (HEV and EV), average temperature in a battery cell is the important criteria of the thermal management of the battery pack. Furthermore, fast charging technology is required to reduce battery charging time. Since battery pack performance and lifespan are deteriorated due to the heat of cells and electronic components caused by fast charging, an effective cooling system is required to reduce performance deterioration. In this study, a cooling system and module design applied to a pouch-type for fast charging battery cell are investigated, and the cooling performance that can maximize the efficiency of the battery was analyzed. The result shows that the vapor chamber cooling system has better cooling performance, the temperature drop in the module was 5.82 ℃ compared with aluminum cooling plates.
