In this study a channel cavity flow was performed. The channel has small size in the upper cavity region. At the gap is supplied by driven flow for Reynolds number. The experimental study was carried out in a channel cavity with square heat surface by visualization equipment with Mach-Zehnder interferometer and laser apparatus. Heat source was uniform heat flux($0.4W/cm^2,\;0.8W/cm^2,\;1.2W/cm^2$). When the bottom wall is heated, the tendency of natural convection flows are vigorous increasing heat flux.

Natural convection in a horizontal annulus with the inner cylinder heated by the application of a constant heat flux and the isothermally cooled outer cylinder is considered, and the transition of flows and the bifurcation phenomenon are numerically investigated for air with Pr=0.7. The zero initial condition always induces a crescent-sheped eddy flow. A bicellular flow in which the fluid descends along the vertical central plane of the annulus can be obtained at high Rayleigh number by introducing artificial numerical disturbances. Dual solutions are found above a certain critical Rayleigh number. Hysteresis phenomena have not been observed.

An experimental study was carried out in a cavity with upper channel and square heat surface by visualization equipment with Mach-Zehnder interferometer and laser apparatus. The visualization system consists of 2-dimensional sheet light by Argon-Ion Laser with cylindrical lens and flow picture recording system. Instant simultaneous velocity vectors at whole field were measured by 2-D PIV system(CACTUS'2000). Obtained result showed various flow patterns. Severe unsteady flow fluctuation within the cavity are remarkable and sheared mixing layer phenomena are also found at the region where inlet flow is collided with the counter-clockwise rotating main primary vortex. Photographs of Mach-Zehnder are also compared in terms of constant heat flux.

New types of the micro heat flux sensor are designed and fabricated using SU-8 and Cu electroplating. And then calibrated under convection environment. The thermal path was made by SU-8 structure and electroplated Cu layers. The bottom surface of the micro heat flux sensor receives the heat flux from the wall, Then the heat flows along the Cu layers and drains out to the environment with producing the temperature difference at the upper layer of Cu. By measuring this temperature difference, the heat flux from the wall can be obtained. The temperature difference is measured by thermopile which is composed of Ni-Cr pairs or Al-chromel pairs. The calibration is accomplished under convection environment because it is most frequent situation. The range of the sensitivity is 0.11~2.02$\mu$V/(㎽/$\textrm{cm}^2$) for the various heat flux and Reynolds numbers.

Pool boiling critical heat flux (CHF) of nanofluids with oxide nanoparticles of $TiO_2$ or $Al_2O_3$ was experimentally investigated under atmospheric pressure. The results showed that a dispersion of oxide nanoparticles significantly enhances the CHF over that of pure water. Moreover it was found that nanoparticles were seriously deposited on the heater surface during pool boiling of nanofluids. CHF of pure water on a nanoparticle-deposited surface, which is produced during the boiling of nanofluids, was not less than that of nanofluids. The result reveals that the CHF enhancement of nanofluids is absolutely attributed to modification of the heater surface by the nanoparticle deposition. Then, the nanoparticle-deposited surface was characterized with parameters closely related to pool boiling CHF, such as surface roughness, contact angle, and capillary wicking. Finally, reason of the CHF enhancement of nanofluids is discussed based on the changes of the parameters.

In the present study, the internal combustion engine tends to high performance, fuel economy, small-sized. Therefore, it is necessary to solve the problems on thermal load, abnormal combustion, etc in the engine. Thin film instantaneous temperature probe was made, and the measuring system was established. The instantaneous surface temperatures in the constant volume combustion chamber were measured with this system and the heat flux was obtained by Fourier analysis. Maximum instantaneous temperatures were obtained after 55∼60ms from ignition and they increased as equivalence ratio and varied differently as the position of probe. Total heat loss during combustion time was affected by the equivalence ratio and differed widely as the position of probe.

Instantaneous temperature probes were manufactured by pressing method. By using these probes, the instantaneous surface temperature and unsteady heat flux in the cylinder liner of DOHC engine were measured. The main results are as follows; ⅰ) the instantaneous surface temperature of cylinder liner are affected by the contact of piston ring as well as burning gas. ⅱ) the wall temperature of the siamese portion is much higher than other parts. ⅲ) it was shown that the rising trend of heat flux by burning gas are nearly limited to the 1/2-stroke distance from the top of cylinder liner.

반응시간지수(Response Rime Index : RTI)를 사용하여 스프링클러의 열응답(thermal response) 특성을 분류할 수 있다. 반응시간지수는 plunge test에서 균일한 고온의 공기속도의 제곱근과 스프링클러 열감지부의 시정수(time constant)의 곱으로 나타낼 수 있다. 고온의 주위 공기온도에서 스프링클러가 작동하는 시간을 측정하므로서 열감지부의 시정수를 계산할 수 있다. 스프링클러의 RTI가 시정수에 비하여 실험조건에 따른 변화 폭이 적으므로 실제 화재시의 스프링클러 자동시간을 예측하는데에는 RTI가 사용된다. 스프링클러의 작동시간 예측을 위해서는 RTI값과 스프링클러 열감지부 주위의 유속이 필요하며, 유속은 화재의 발열량과 스프링클러가 설치된 구획의 높이로부터 실험식으로 결정된다. 따라서 Plunge test를 이용하여 얻은 스프링클러 열감지부의 기본자료로부터 실화재시의 스프링클러 작동시간을 예측하게 되며, ZONE 모델과 같은 화재 simulation 프로그램과 같이 사용된다면 스프링클러 작동시의 연층의 높이도 예측 가능하게 된다.

A cooling performance analysis has been made in the 8-channel calorimeter based on sub-scale KSR-III engine. Three-dimensional heat transfer analysis in cooling channels has been performed using the heat flux distribution through the chamber wall predicted from axi-symmetric compressible flow inside the combustion chamber. The heat flux distribution is verified against the published literature. Presented for the development and operation of the calorimeter are the coolant pressure drop, coolant temperature rise and the maximum chamber wall temperature. Required coolant flow rate is determined for given chamber pressure. Cooling performance is also predicted for temperature dependant coolant properties.

This paper represents the numerical analysis on effect of the environmental velocity for circular heating source with heat generation. In general heating system, the oil and sheath heater is widely used, but these systems have many problems. So, the heating source with carbon ingredient has been researched in many country about manufacture, thermal and electrical properties. In this research, a circular heating source was studied through numerical analysis on several conditions of unsteady state, beat generation and environmental velocity. The temperature distributions at steady state is appeared as a non-linear pattern with variations of environmental velocity. So, the correlation equation between temperature at steady state and environmental velocity was obtained.
