As a technique for removing cancerous tumors from normal tissue, radio-frequency electromagnetic waves were employed to heating target cells up to the critical temperature, which kills the cancerous cells. However, its use in treating tumors in soft organs is limited by inconvenient factors, which are use of high-currents and long time operation. In this work, the feasibility of the localized heating by inserting four conducting electrodes with tiny direct current is investigated. The heat source is resulting from the electric field as known as resistive heating. We have investigated the temperature distribution as a function of applying DC voltages ranging from 10 V to 30 V with 10 V step. From the simulation results, the mushroom-like lesion shape by applying 20 V is generated by four electrodes within a few minutes, that is proper to the clinical application.

Pore structures of Alkoxide-derived aluminas are investigated by BET Nitrogen Sorption method. Aluminas are derived from hydrolysis of aluminum isopropoxide at 3$^{\circ}$and 8$0^{\circ}C$ with stoichiometric quantities of water in use. The resulting hydrolysates are then subjected to thermal treatment for a fixed period of time from 200$^{\circ}$to 50$0^{\circ}C$ in gradual fashions. The hydrolysates obtained at 3$^{\circ}C$ increase their pore volumes with increasing heat treatment, exhibiting their pore-size distributio as twinpeaked. In contrast, the reverse is true to the hydrolysates obtained at 8$0^{\circ}C$, showing their pore size distribution as single-peaked. This suggests that the pore shapes of the former shall be slit-shaped, whilst whose as the latter shall be of a ink-bottle shape. All the evidence indicates that the hydrolytic temperatures play an important role not only in determining the pore shapes of the alumina samples, but in controlling the liberation of structural water in the alumina layers. It is also, surmized that the subsequent heat treatment may at best affect the mode of pore size distribution for the resulting alumina product(s).

온양온천지구의 13개 온천공에서 채취한 온천수의 수질 자료를 이용하여 심부 온천수와 천부 지하수의 혼합비를 추정하였다. 온천수의 pH, EC, 및 주요 이온의 농도는 40~54$^{\circ}C$의 범위를 나타내는 온천수의 온도와 뚜렷한 선형의 비례관계를 나타내며, 수온이 낮아질수록 천부 지하수의 수질 특성에 가까워지는 특성을 보인다. pH, $K^{+}$, F$^{-}$, 및 Si는 온도와 정(+)의 비례관계를, $Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, Cl$^{-}$, HCO$_3$$^{-}$, SO$_4$$^{2-}$ , NO$_3$$^{-}$ 및 EC는 부(-)의 비례관계를 나타낸다. 온천수의 온도와 수질과의 이러한 상관성은 수질 특성이 상이한 고온의 심부 온천수와 저온의 천부 지하수가 각 온천공에서 서로 다른 비율로 혼합되어 나타난 결과로 해석된다. 최고 온도를 나타내는 온천수와 온천지구 내 지하수의 수질을 끝 성분(end member)으로 가정하고 혼합비를 계산한 결과, 온천지구에서 현재 채수되는 온천수에는 20% 내외의 천부 지하수가 혼합되고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 온천수와 지하수의 수질 자료를 파이퍼 다이어그램에 도시한 결과 $Na^{+}$-HCO$_3$$^{-}$의 유형을 나타내는 13개 온천수는 전체적으로 직선 상에 분포하는 경향을 보였으며, $Ca^{2+}$-HCO$_3$$^{-}$의 유형을 나타내는 지하수는 직선의 연장선상에 분포하여 온천수와 지하수의 혼합이 일어나고 있음을 보여준다. 온천공 수질 검층 결과, 심도 145m를 경계로 지하수와 온천수가 상하부에 부존되어 있으며, 경계부에서 혼합이 발생하고 있는 것으로 추정된다.

전산유체역학 기법을 이용하여 석탄가스화기 내화재내에서의 온도분포 해석 및 열손실량 계산을 수행하였다. 일차원 이론적 해석, 이차원 전도열전달 해석 및 삼차원 대류-전도 복합열전달 해석 등 세 가지 방법론으로 전산해석을 수행하고 그 결과들을 서로 비교하였으며, 또한 해석결과들을 석탄가스화기 실험결과와 비교하였다. 결과의 정확성, 수치해석상의 편리성(수렴성 및 계산시간) 등을 종합적으로 검토하여, 이차원 전도열전달 해석이 공학적 설계에 적용하기 적절한 방법론임을 제시하였다. 전산해석 결과를 3톤/일급 석탄가스화기에 적용해 본 결과, 총 열손실량은 설계치 운전기준으로 약 1% 정도인 것으로 판별되었다.

Hydro dynamically developing and simultaneously (hydro dynamically and thermally) developing laminar flows of a Bingham plastic in a circular pipe have been investigated numerically. Solutions have been obtained by using a four-step fractional method combined with an equal order bilinear finite element method. For the hydro dynamically developing flow, shorter entrance length is required to reach fully developed velocity field for larger yield stress and non-monotonic pressure drop along the pipe centerline is observed when the yield stress exceeds a certain critical value. For the simultaneously developing flow, the heat transfer characteristics show the same trends as those predicted for the thermally developing flow (Graetz problem).

Reinforced concrete (RC) shield tunnel lining must be designed for fireproof performance because the lining is sometimes exposed to very high temperature due to traffic accidents. Both experimental and numerical studies are carried out to evaluate fire resistance performance of precast RC tunnel lining systems. In the experimental studies, six full-scale precast RC tunnel segments are exposed to fire in order to examine the influence of various parameters on the fire resistance performance of precast RC tunnel lining. We used the temperature curve of the RABT criteria, which are severe conditions of fire temperatures. The fire test showed that the explosive spalling was not observed by substituting concrete to PP fiber reinforced concrete. A transient heat flow analysis was carried out in consideration of the material properties that change with temperature, and the results showed good agreement with the test results.

In recent large-scale structures, as mass concrete type structure is frequently applied to the building, temperature crack due to hydration heat needs to be considered. Since a volume change is internally or externally restricted in a mold after placing concrete, temperature crack of mass concrete takes place. By this reason, the reduction method to control this crack is required. In this study, low heat mixture and hydration heat difference is used to execute the analysis of hydration heat, considering the changes of heat transfer coefficient according to curing conditions and block placement of mass concrete. For the analytical modelling, original portland cement and concrete of low heat mixture are placed in the upper and lower payer, respectively. A convection boundary condition is fixed because mass concrete of block placement is characterized by the difference of mold form and curing condition. Through the analysis results considering the changes of low heat mixture, block placement, and heat transfer coefficient, we check out the temperature and stress distribution and analyze the temperature crack reduction effect.

The effect of an increase in the temperature of inlet air on the performance of a membrane humidifier for a PEMFC (Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell) vehicle was investigated both experimentally and numerically. A shell-and-tube type gas-to-gas humidifier with Nafion membrane was tested. The experimental result showed that water transfer varies nonlinearly with the temperature elevation. Numerical analysis based on detailed modeling was also conducted in simplified geometry of a single tube to explain this nonlinear behavior. The simulation revealed that the local water flux varies nonlinearly and dramatically along the tube. The analysis was based on the inverse relationship between the increase in temperature and decrease in relative humidity, both of which seriously affect the water conductivity of the membrane.
