Heat transfer characteristics were experimentally investigated for ice slurry which was made from 6.5% ethylene glycol-water solution flowing in the circular pipe. The test section was made of a copper tube of 13.84 mm inner diameter and 1,500 mm length. The ice slurry was heated by passing hot water through an annulus surrounding the test section. The ice packing factor(IPF) and the mass flux of the experiments were varied from 0 to 25% and from 1,000 to 3,000 kg/$m^2s$ respectively at a fixed hot water temperature and flow rate. The measured heat transfer rates increase with the mass flow rate and IPF; however the effect of IPF appears to be minor at high mass flow rate. At the low mass flow rate condition, a sharp increases in the heat transfer coefficient was observed when the IPF was above 15 ~ 20%. And finally the measured heat transfer coefficients were compared with those calculated from the correlations.

A variable-flow-rate balancing valve has been developed and optimized to apply to a distributor in a hot-water heating system. Fluid dynamic performance of the system was evaluated by comparing the results with the previous pressure difference control valve (PDCV) system. In view of the variations of pressure drop and flow rate according to the sequential closing of the control valves, the present system which is named "smart system distributor", is very stable without a certain flow rate concentration. The level of pressure drop variation is also low as compared with the previous system with a PDCV. In view of the occurrence of cavitation, the present system is quite superior to the previous system because the instantaneous pressures at all sections are much higher than the vapor pressure. On the other hand, the previous system has a possibility of cavitation when one or more control valves are closed.

This paper proposes a ceramic heating element-based tankless instant electric water heater for hand/face washing that does not require a lot of hot water. The heating module, which heats the input water and outputs hot water, operates the ceramic heating element detecting input water using a flow sensor. Inside of the heating module is designed to form one flow path in order to get almost $15^{\circ}C$ increased heated water compared to the input water temperature within 2 second after 1.5 liter per minute water supply. The design validity is verified using a heat flow analysis of the water flow and temperature variations inside of the heating module also. Based on the design data, the heating module is constructed including a single rod-type ceramic heating element. After that, a prototype system having temperature setting function by three steps were constructed. The prototype system is connected to a 1.5 liter per minute water supply line, and the water output temperature and time measurement experiments confirmed that the proposed system output the heated water increased by $18.3^{\circ}C$ in case of third step setting within 2 second after water supply. And standby power is under 1 W and peak power does not exceed the permissible range for the general house usage. Several performance results verify that the proposed tankless instant electric water heater is applicable for the washstand of the house, highway rest area and factory so on as winter-time hand/face washing.

The heat transfer phenomena in a coil-typed LPG vaporizer with a hot water bath employed an electrical heating system were experimentally analyzed. The heat energy is initially used to sensible heat region to heat LPG and then is done to latent heat region to vaporize LPG and to heat up the vaporized gas. A two-phase flow region could be found from periodic temperature fluctuations, and only sensible heat effect was found after passing through the region. The overall heat capacity was defined as multiplying the overall heat transfer coefficient by the heat transfer area and we found a correlation employing the heating water temperature and LPG flow rate. The results of this work can effectively be applied for the design of field scale LPG vaporizers in the near future because they can predict the features of heat transfer on a kind of coil type LPG vaporizer.

The behavior of whole system is affected by a minor change of system in the hydronic radiant floor heating system. Under partial load condition, the change of system resistance causes overflow of supply water. This unexpected effect is the cause of several problems in the heating system. In this study, we find some factors were validated with several computer simulations. After validation of this result, several conceptual solutions are evaluated to prevent overflow.

We already presented new calculation method about the temperature distribution in hot water pipe flow of the unsteady condition. In this paper, we introduce consequence of the case study to confirm appropriation of the calculation method, and case study performs to establish actual hot water use supposed two model that is; the CWV(constant water volume) and VWV(variable water volume).

In this study, we demonstrated the operation of an electroosmotic pump with cylindrical porous glass frits and evaluated its long-term operation. The performance of this electroosmotic pump was characterized in terms of maximum flow rate, current, and pressure using deionized water and 1 mM borate buffer. The maximum flow rate, current, and pressure linearly increase with voltage. The maximum flow rate is normalized by the pumping area and voltage for comparison of the performance between the electroosmotic pumps with cylindrical and planar frits. The normalized maximum flow rate of the cylindrical-type pump is higher than that of the planar-type pump because of their different geometries. The cylindrical-type electroosmotic pump has five times better performance than the planartype electroosmotic pump for a given pump package volume. It can operate stably for over 3 hours.
