A computer simulation was performed to study the effectiveness of temperature on the type of laser heat source in the context of the heterogeneous welding of aluminum and copper materials. Three different types of heat sources were used in the computer simulation: 1) Single Beam Straight Scan, 2) Single Beam Wobble Scan, and 3) Dual Beam Straight Scan. Among these sources, dual beam straight scan was found to be the most effective from the viewpoint of heat source control. Because the difference between the melting temperatures of copper and aluminum is approximately 400℃, a clear separation of heating temperature was required, and the dual beam straight scan provided superior controllability in this regard. When using the dual beam, the temperature of the 90:10 split was considerably easier to control than that of the 50:50 split. The optimal offset was calculated to be 4 mm off to the copper side, where the melting temperature and thermal conductivity were higher. In this manner, computer simulation was effectively used for determining the optimal laser beam hear source control without performing an actual laser welding experiment.

This paper aims to compare and study the cooling performance of a battery system in accordance with the inlet and outlet geometry of the air passage in an EV. The arrangement and the heat source of the battery module were fixed, and the inlet/outlet area and its geometry were varied with the analysis of the cooling performance. The results of this study provide suggestions for the air flow stream line inside of a battery, the velocity field, and the temperature distributions. It was confirmed that the volume flow rate of air should be over $400m^3/h$, in order to satisfy conditions under $50^{\circ}C$, which is the limit condition for stable operation. It was also revealed that the diffuser outlet geometry can improve the cooling performance of battery system.

The vertical distribution of hydraulic conductivity of 3 boreholes located at Kongju National University was estimated by the ambient flow and the pump-induced flow measurements using a heat-pulse flowmeter. The ambient flow measurements showed that a great amount of groundwater (1~2 m$^3$/day) flowed in the boreholes through the conductive fractures. The analyzed conductivity profiles we similar to those of the packer test performed for the same boreholes. The conductive fractures in which the differential net flow changed greatly could be identified by the BIPS logging. The water-quality logging data showed that quality of groundwater changed abruptly at some depths of the boreholes. This change in water quality can be attributed to the presence of conductive fractures that have resulted in the mixing of groundwater of different quality flowing in different fracture channels. However, compared to the flowmeter test, the water-quality logging showed low capability in identifying locations of conductive fractures.

Traditional external post-tensioning method using either steel bars or tendons is commonly used as a retrofitting method for steel composite bridges. However, the method has some disadvantages such as stress concentration at anchorages and inefficient load-carrying capability of live loads. Multi-stepwise prestressing method using thermal expanded coverplate is a newly proposed prestressing method, which was originally developed for prestressing steel structures. A new retrofitting method for steel girder bridges founded on a simple concept of thermal expansion and contraction of cover plate, the method is a hybrid of and combines the advantages of external post-tensioning and thermal prestressing. In this paper, basic concepts of the method are presented and an illustrative experiment is introduced. From actual experimental data, the thermal prestressing effect was substantiated and the FEM approach for its analysis was verified. The retrofitting effects ofa single-span bridge were analyzed and the feasibility of the developed method was examined.

Numerical analysis has been performed on three-dimensional natural convection in inclined concentric annuli with the nonuniform temperature distribution of the inner cylinder. The governing equations are numerically solved by successive over-relaxation methods for various inclination angles at $R_{a}$=3*10$^{4}$, $P_{r}$=7.0 and $r_{1}$ / $r_{2}$=0.6. Temperature and Nusselt number distributions are obtained and calculated results are compared with those of published uniform temperature distributions. It is found that the mean Nusselt numbers for the nonuniform temperature distributions increase more than those for the uniform temperature distributions by about 9. 6% at .delta.= 0.deg., 7.5% at .delta. = 30.deg. and 4.6% at .delta. = 60.deg.. In the case of .delta. = 0.deg., the maximum local Nusselt numbers on the inner and outer cylinder walls show at .xi. = 0.5, 1.5 of .psio=100 .deg. and .xi. = 0.4, 1.6 of .psi. = 180 .deg.. But in the case of .delta. = 30.deg. and .delta. = 60.deg., the maximum local Nusselt numbers on the inner and other cylinder walls show at .xt. = 0.0 of .psi. = 180 .deg. and .xi. = 2.0 of .psi. = 180 .deg...

The methods of physical oceanographic surveys to examine the effect of thermal discharge from nuclear power plants in Korea have been reviewed and a standard guide to the survey is proposed. It is desirable that in situ observation and numerical thermal diffusion modeling are conducted simultaneously to describe the variation in temperature distribution affected by thermal discharge from a power plant because any observation or numerical modeling alone has limits to do so quantitatively. It is suggested that the field observation must be based on the concept of heat budget modeling considering all artificial and natural heat sources/sinks around the power plant. Any results from numerical modeling must reach to a certain statistical significance level to use for a standard temperature distribution. In addition, the development of standard numerical codes is proposed to improve the problems shown in the past numerical circulation and diffusion modelling.

국내 시설원예 면적은 2005년 기준 52,022ha에 달하고 있으며 약 23%에 해당하는 12,000ha는 겨울철에 난방기를 가동하여 원예작물을 생산하고 있다. 농업용 난방기의 보급은 가온재배 면적의 증가와 더불어 급신장하고 있어 농업용 면세유 중 경유 공급액 약 9,260억원 중 62%에 해당하는 1,350,000톤이 시설원예 난방에 사용된 것으로 추산되고 있다. 지속적인 유가 상승으로 시설재배 농가의 경영이 악화되고 있어 최근 히트펌프를 이용한 냉난방시스템에 대한 연구가 수행되고 있다. 시설원예 냉난방에 사용되는 히트펌프의 열원은 다양하게 적용할 수 있으나 강변에 위치하고 있는 시설원예단지의 경우 연 중 풍부한 유량과 안정적인 수온을 얻을 수 있는 강변여과수는 매우 매력적인 열원이다. 본 연구에서는 시범지역으로 남강댐 하류에 위치하고 있는 진주지역의 시설원예단지와 낙동강 유역의 구미지역 시설원예단지의 두 곳에 대하여 1일 $1,000m^3$의 강변여과수 개발에 대한 조사를 수행하였다. 육안 및 현장여건에 대한 조사를 수행하고 인근 지하수 사용현황에 대한 조사를 실시하였다. 진주지역의 경우 일부 농가에서 지하수를 사용하고 있었으나 1일 8~10시간 취수에 최대 취수량은 약 $120m^3$ 정도였다. 반면, 구미지역의 경우 1999년 구미첨단원예농단 조성사업의 일환으로 양액재배에 농업용수를 공급할 목적으로 지하수 개발이 실시되었으며 최근 인근 국화축제를 개최하는 지역에서 신규로 지하수를 개발하여 사용 중이었다. 전기비저항 탐사를 실시한 결과 진주지역은 지하 약 6~17m 지점에 대수층이 존재하는 것으로 판단되었고, 구미지역은 지하 약 10~20m 지점에 대수층이 존재할 가능성이 있지만 지하 20m 지점부터는 대수층의 가능성이 높은 것으로 판단되었다. 두 지역에 각각 두 공을 시추하여 조사한 결과, 구미지역의 경우 수면높이가 지하 약 10m이고 각각 2.5m와 4.6m의 모래자갈층을 형성하고 있어 $1,000m^3$/일의 취수량 개발이 원활하지 않을 것으로 판단되었다. 한편, 진주지역은 수면높이가 지하 약 3m이고 각각 3.5m와 6.5m의 모래자갈층을 형성하고 있어 $1,000m^3$/일의 취수량 개발이 가능할 것으로 판단되었다. 현장 시추조사 및 기존관정 조사결과, 구미지역에 비하여 진주지역이 지하수 물량 확보가 상대적으로 용이하고 신규 굴착 가능지점이 다수 분포하고 있어 연구지점으로 활용하는데 유리할 것으로 판단되었다. 따라서 진주지역에 여과수열원 확보를 위해 2곳의 양수관정을 설치하고 히트펌프를 이용하여 시설원예의 냉난방을 실시할 예정이다.

A computer simulation was conducted for heat and momentum transfer in a roller kiln. Time-averaged Navier-Stokes equation conjugated with energy balance equation was numerically solved to predict the temperature distribution and fluid flow field in the roller kiln. A computer simulation was performed for a roller kiln for three cases. Firstly, when there are no ceramic materials in the roller kiln, the effect of natural convection was studied on the temperature distribution and fluid flow field. From the result, it was observed that air takes the heat of wall away from the roller kiln by natural convection and the heat was not transferred effectively. Secondly, with ceramic materials temperature difference of ceramic material from the borrom to the top of a ceramic material was about 255K in 5th zone and this is because the heat is transferred from the surface of a ceramic material to flowing air with relatively low temperature. Finally, we considered effect of radiation heat transfer. Temperature difference of ceramic material in 5th zone was about 300 K, due to radiation heat transfer on the ceramic material surfaces.

In this study, laboratory test equipment was designed and installed to evaluate the thermal behavior of bentonite, which is used as a buffer in high-level waste disposal systems. The thermal analysis was conducted to verify the test results using ABAQUS, a finite element analysis code. In view of the seasonal changes seen during the test, the thermal behavior of bentonite with a temperature of outside air was evaluated. Of the cases examined, the results of the analysis model using stainless steel (Case 3) approximates to the test results, showing an error of about 1℃. The results of the thermal analysis into seasonal temperature distributions are consistent with trends seen in lab-test results. These analyses show that the effects of the thermal conductivity of the material surrounding the buffer and outside air temperature, are very important factors in the thermal behavior of bentonite. In the future, it is expected that a moisture saturation test of a bentonite buffer containing a heat source will be carried out. Therefore, the development of a numerical analysis model is required for the prediction and verification of the laboratory test results.

Welding deformation is a permanent deformation that is caused in structures by welding heat. Welding distortion is the primary cause of reduced productivity, due to welded structural strength degradation, low dimensional accuracy, and appearance. As a result, research and numerous experiments are being carried out to control welding deformation. The aim of this study is to analyze the mechanism of longitudinal bending deformation due to welding. Welding experiments and numerical analyses were performed for this study. The welding experiments were performed on 4 mm and 8.5 mm thickness steel plates, and the numerical analysis was conducted on the welding deformation using the FE software MSC.marc.
