The prevalence of discogenic pain among patients with chronic low back pain is estimated to be about 40%. Lumbar discectomy is being performed as a treatment according to the studies done so far. Recently IDET- Intradiscal electrothermal therapy which is minimally invasive technique is being introduced. This study will investigate important factors of this procedure such as the temperature of heat source, loading times, and the temperature distribution within the intervertebral disc. This study utilized finite element analysis and experiment. It was able to analyze the temperature range of inner intervertebral disc by two mechanisms which are known to alleviate pain clinically. As a result, verification of temperature distribution to 15.6mm($\geq$45$^{\circ}C$) (Mechanism 1-coagulation inner annulus by heat) and 9mm($\geq$6$0^{\circ}C$) (Mechanism 2- contraction inner nucleus by heat) from the heat source was done.

A onetimensional distribution of the temperature and the heat source in the SOI (silicon-on-insulator) multi-layer structure illuminated by tungsten lamps from both sides was obtained by solving the heat equation in steady state on a finite difference grid using successive over-relaxation method. The heat source distribution was obtained by considering such features as spectral components of the light source, multiple reflection at the internal interfaces, temperature and frequency dependence of the light absorption coefficient, etc. The front and back surface temperatures, which are boundary conditions for the heat equation, were derived from a requirement that they satisfy the radiation conditions. The radiation flux as well as the conduction flux was considered in modelling the thermal behaviour at the internal interfaces. Since the temperature and the heat source profiles are strongly dependent upon each other, the calculation of each profile was iterated using the updated profile of the other until they are consistent with each other. The experimental temperature at the front surface of the wafer as measured by Pyrometer was about 1200$^{\circ}$K, while the simulated temperature was 1120$^{\circ}$K.

확산모델과 파모델의 결과에 있어 큰 차이가 일어나는 경우를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 과도기 간이 짧다. 2) 작동온도가 아주 낮다. 3) 온도구배가 상당히 크다. 이때3)의 경우는 서로 다른 물질들이 접촉된 경우 또는 높은 열유속이 있는 경우 또는 얇은 표면층 등을 갖는 문제들의 공 통적인 특징이다. Non-Fourier 열전도 문제를 이용해 온도 분포를 예측해야 하는 실제적인 몇 가지 예를 살펴 보면 레이저 기술 또는 절대온도 영(zero)에 접근하는 온도에서의 액체 헬륨을 다루는 저온공학연구 또는 1/$10^{6}$Inch 정도의 표면조도가 관심사인 정밀공학 등을 들 수 있다. 또한 상당히 높은 강도의 열원이 작용될 때 고체에서의 크랙이나 보이드(void) 같은 국소 결함은 확산거동이 나타나기에 요구되는 시간보다 짧은 시간 구간에서 발생되어질 수 있으며, 크랙발생의 방향과 같은 것들은 hyperbolic 모델에의해 예측되어져야만 한다. 특히 움직이는 열원 또는 propagating crack tip을 갖는 경우에 그들 주위에서의 온도장을 규정짓는 가장 중요한 변 수는 열마하수 M이며, 아음속에서 초음속 영역으로 천이될 때 물리적 양들의 변화에 있어서 일어나는 현상들은 열충격의 형성에 기인하는데 이러한 현상들은 확산 모델로서는 예측될 수 없는 특징들이다. 이상에서 살펴볼 때 non-Fourier 모델에 대해 관심을 기울일 필요가 있다고 사료된다.

증기압축식 열펌프시스템은 그림 1에 나타난 바와 같이 증발기에서의 흡열과 응축기의 방열을 냉난방에 이용할 수 있으며, 공기를 열원으로 할 때는 공기 중 저밀도의 에너지를 고밀도의 에너지로 전환하여 이용할 수 있으며 지중 온도의 연중변화가 적은 점을 이용하여 지열을 열원으로 할 때는 공기를 열원으로 할 경우에 필요한 제상 장치(defrost cycle)가 필요 없게 되고, 압축기 부하도 줄어들게 되어 열펌프 수명이 길어지게 되며 경제성을 확보할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. (중략)

Internal combustion engines typically expel 30%-40% of the energy supplied by fuel to the environment through their exhaust system. Therefore, further significant improvements in the thermal efficiency of IC engines are possible by recovering the waste heat from the engine exhaust gas. With this fact in mind, a numerical simulation was carried out to investigate the potential of using thermoelectric generation with an internal combustion engine for waste heat recovery. Physical parameters such as the exhaust temperature and mass flow rate were evaluated in the exhaust system, and the optimum location for inserting a thermoelectric generator (TEG) into the system was determined. The TEG will be located in the exhaust system and will use the energy flow between the warmer exhaust gas and the external environment. The optimum position of the temperature distribution and the TEG performance were predicted through numerical analysis. The experimental results obtained showed that the power output significantly increases with the temperature difference between the cold and hot sides of the TEG.

Characteristics of overall heat transfer were investigated in a three-phase slurry bubble column with relatively low surface tension media, which has been frequently encountered in the fields of industry. The heat transfer phenomena was examined in the system which was composed of a coaxial vertical heater and a proper of bubble column. The heat transfer coefficient was estimated from the measured mean value of temperature difference between the heater surface and the column proper at the steady state condition. Effects of gas velocity ($U_G$), solid fraction in the slurry phase ($C_S$) and surface tension (${\sigma}_L$) of continuous liquid media on the overall heat transfer coefficient (h) in the bubble column were determined. The mean value of temperature difference was estimated from the data of temperature difference fluctuations with a variation of time. The amplitude and mean value of temperature difference fluctuations with respect to the elasped time appeared to decrease with decreasing the surface tension of liquid phase. The overall heat transfer coefficient between the immersed heated and the bubble column increased with an increase in the gas velocity or solid fraction in the slurry phase, but it decreased with an increase in the surface tension of continuous liquid media. The overall heat coefficient in the slurry bubble column with relatively low surface tension media was well correlated in term of operating variables and dimensionless groups within this experimental conditions.

Line heating is a manufacture method, which was widely used to machining a curved surface in the ship construction. The qualities using by line heating are very difference compare to the proficiency level of the engineer. So it's mainly depend on the automation equipment instead of the proficiency level engineer. In this study, it would be investigate the temperature distribution of the heating plate, which was used by the automation equipment according to line heating. The main factors are the moving velocity of the heating source, strength and the heating method separately, in temperature distribution while line heating. In this paper, it was investigated the temperature change with the vary of each three variables. The numerical result showed that peak temperature decrease if the moving velocity of the heating source increased. It can also calculate the change quantitatively that the peak temperature and temperature distribution changed linearly with the vary of the heating source.

This study examined the effects of the key parameters on the power efficiency of the waste heat power plant using the EES program to obtain data for the design of the 20kW Kalina power plant. The parameters include the ammonia mass fraction, vapor pressure, heat source temperature, and the cooling water temperature. According to the analyses, a lower ammonia mass fraction and a higher vapor pressure increase the efficiency, in general. On the other hand, this study shows that there is a specific region with a very low ammonia mass fraction, where the efficiency decreases with ammonia mass fraction. Regarding the vapor pressure at the turbine inlet, the power efficiency increases with increasing vapor pressure. In addition, it was found that the influence of the vapor pressure on the efficiency increases with increasing ammonia mass fraction. Finally, the optimal condition for the maximum power efficiency is defined in this study, i.e., the maximum efficiency was 15% with a 25bar vapor pressure, $160^{\circ}C$ heat source temperature, $10^{\circ}C$ cooling water temperature, and 0.4 ammonia mass fraction.
