Technical ceramics, due to their unique physical properties, are excellent candidate materials for engineering applications involving extreme thermal and chemical environments. When ceramics are rapidly cooled, they receive thermal shock. The thermal shock parameter is defined as the critical temperature difference. The critical temperature difference for ceramic parts is influenced by its size, the convective heat transfer coefficient, etc. The thermal shock for a component is analyzed by using the transient thermal stress. If the transient thermal stress exceeds the modulus of rupture (MOR), cracking by thermal shock is initiated. The critical temperature difference for water is less than the critical temperature difference for air. The three-way catalyst substrate used in this study has an adequate performance against thermal shock because its radial and axial temperature differences existed below the critical temperature differences.

최근에 개발되고 있는 2세대 고온초전도 선재는 77.3 K의 액화질소보다 높은 임계온도를 가진다. 응용기기의 특성에 따라 액화질소 온도 이하의 다양한 온도 범위에서 운전되고 있다. 이러한 운전 온도의 차이는 초전도 선재의 임계전류 차이를 가져오고, 높아진 임계전류는 시스템의 안정도 측면에서 장점을 가지는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 운전 온도 조건에 따른 임계전류에 의한 교류손실 측면의 연구를 진행하였다. 다양한 초전도 권선 형태에서의 임계온도에 따른 교류손실 특성을 수치해석을 통해 확인하고, 시스템의 안정성 향상에 필요한 운전온도에 대한 기본적인 특성 연구를 수행하였다.

In this paper, high speed camera images were used to analyze the supercritical injection behavior of liquid hydrocarbon compounds used as main components of propellant fuel. Decane and Methylcyclohexane (MCH), which have different critical points among kerosene constituents, were selected as experimental fluid and Shadowgraphy technique was used for the analysis. The difference in the temperature variation from the initial injector state of the subcritical condition until the vaporization occurs was represented by the different behaviors of Decane and MCH. However, under the Supercritical conditions, the enthalpy of vaporization near the critical point approaches zero and the phase change to the Supercritical phase occurs instead of vaporization process. In the phase change of the Supercritical system, there was no rapid density change, so the liquid state image was observed in both the Decane and MCH.

Dynamic Thermal Management (DTM) degrades the processor performance for lowering temperature. For this reason, reducing the peak temperature on microprocessors can improve the performance by reducing the performance loss due to DTM. In this study, we analyze various unit selection techniques for computation migration. According to our simulation results, dynamic computation migration based on the thermal difference between the units shows best performance among compared models.

열전달 시스템에서 임계 열유속 발생 시 시스템의 물리적 손상을 야기하기 때문에 비등 열전달에서 임계 열유속은 열전달 시스템의 한계 또는 안전성을 나타낸다. 따라서 열전달 시스템의 안정성을 위해서는 임계 열유속 향상이 필수적이다. 최근에는 나노유체를 열전달 시스템에 적용할 경우 임계 열유속이 증가한다고 보고되었다. 하지만 나노유체는 원전 및 각종 열전달 시스템에 적용 시 나노입자가 열전달 표면에 침착되는 파울링 현상을 발생시킬 수 있으며, 이 때문에 시스템의 열효율이 크게 감소할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 열전달 시스템에 나노유체를 적용했을 때, 나노유체의 침착현상이 시스템에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 그 결과 유속과 코팅시간이 증가할수록 산화처리된 다중벽 탄소나노튜브 나노유체의 임계 열유속이 크게 증가하고 있음을 확인할 수 있다. 하지만 나노입자 침착정도와 유속이 증가할수록 비등 열전달 표면과 유체의 포화온도의 차이인 과열도가 상당히 크게 증가함을 알 수 있었으며, 열전달 계수는 순수 물의 0 m/s의 비등 열전달 계수와 비교하면 감소하는 것을 확인하였다.

Fluid flow and heat transfer in horizontal ducts are strongly coupled with large changes in thermodynamic and transport properties near the critical region as well as the gravity force. Numerical analysis has been carried out to investigate convective heat transfer in horizontal rectangular ducts for water near the thermodynamic critical point. Convective heat transfer characteristics, including velocity, temperature, and the properties as well as local heat transfer coefficients along the ducts are compared with the effect of proximity on the critical point. When there is flow acceleration because of a density decrease, convective heat transfer characteristics in the ducts show transition behavior between liquid-like and gas-like phases. There is a large variation in the local heat transfer coefficient distributions at the top, side, and bottom surfaces, and close to the pseudocritical temperature, a peak in the heat transfer coefficient distribution resulting from improved turbulent transport is observed. The Nusselt number distribution depends on pressure and duct aspect ratio, while the Nusselt number peak rapidly increases as the pressure approaches the critical pressure. The predicted Nusselt number is also compared with other heat transfer correlations.

This study was executed to review feasibility on the calculation of critical velocity with a reduced model of an actual tunnel in order to establish the optimum fire protection system for a fire in road tunnels. In a scaled model about 1/29 of an actual tunnel based on the Froude scaling, critical velocity was calculated by visualizing smoke flow and analyzing correlation with temperature. In the experiment, critical velocities at which smoke backflow length became zero showed a small difference within about 5% compared to results calculated by the Kennedy formula, and the relation between smoke flow and temperature distribution appeared similarly without getting greatly influenced by changes in fire intensity.

This study investigates the natural convection of air(Pr=0.7) between two walls having a small- wave- number sinusoidal temperature distributions with a phase difference. The wave number and the phase difference of wall temperatures are k=0.5 and ㄱ/2, respectively. In the conduction-dominated regime at small Rayleigh number, two slightly inclined cells are formed over one wave length. At higher Rayleigh number, however, multicellular convection occurs in thermally unstable region. A spatial symmetry is intermittently broken in the transient period at the Rayleigh number near the critical value. The steady-state flows always satisfy the spatial symmetry. A steep increase of Nusselt number occurs near the Rayleigh number at which transition of flow pattern occurs.

저장, 유통 중 부패미생물 및 해충류 등으로 인한 사과의 질적, 양적 손실발생을 줄이기 위해 열처리 시 사과가 생명체로서 기능을 지닐 수 있는 임계온도 및 시간에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 후지 사과를 40~$65^{\circ}C$ 범위의 물에 침지하여 일정 시간 간격으로 시료를 취한 후 $0^{\circ}C$에서 냉각, 저장하면서 처리조건에 따른 외관, 호흡특성 및 품질을 비교하였다. 처리온도 및 시간에 따라 사과의 외관상 품질은 차이를 보였는데 4$0^{\circ}C$에서 3시간, 45$^{\circ}C$에서 1시간, 5$0^{\circ}C$에서 25분, 55$^{\circ}C$에서 3분, 6$0^{\circ}C$에서 1분, $65^{\circ}C$에서 15초 처리 시까지는 과피의 갈변발생 등 이상증세를 보이지 않았다. 이와 같은 각각의 임계조건에서 사과를 열 처리한 후 $0^{\circ}C$에 저장하면서 방치 1일 및 7일 후 사과 조직내부의 가스조성을 조사한 결과, 탄산가스 농도는 저온 장시간 처리(4$0^{\circ}C$, 45$^{\circ}C$, 5$0^{\circ}C$)한 직후 급격한 증가 경향을 보인 후 다시 감소하였다. 고온 단시간 처리구(55$^{\circ}C$, 6$0^{\circ}C$, $65^{\circ}C$)의 경우 저온 장시간 처리한 경우에 비하여 낮은 수준이지만 약간의 증감 경향을 보이다가 고른 평형 상태를 유지하였다. 산소 농도는 저온 장시간 처리 직후 급격히 저하된 후 다시 증가하였으며 저장 7일 후에는 4$0^{\circ}C$ 3시간 처리구를 제외하고는 평형 상태를 유지하였다. 고온 단시간 처리구의 경우 처리 직후부터 저장 7일 후까지 고른 평형 상태를 유지하였다. 에틸렌의 경우 저온 장시간 처리구는 처리 직후 그 농도가 급격히 상승하였다가 저장 1일 후부터 대조구보다 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 고온 단시간 처리구의 경우 저온 장시간 처리구와는 달리 저장 1일 후부터 그 농도가 다소 상승되었다가 다시 감소는 경향을 보였다. 한편 열처리하여 냉각시킨 직후 및 저장1주 후 사과의 pH, 산도, 당도, 경도, 과육의 갈변도 등을 조사하였던 바 대조구 및 처리구간에 일부 항목에 있어서는 약간의 차이를 나타내었다.

Subcritical crack growth is one of the main causes of time-dependent fracturing in rock. In the present study, we investigated subcritical crack growth in rock in distilled water (pH = 5.7) and in an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOHaq, pH = 12), comparing the results to those in air. We also investigated the effect of the pH in an aqueous environment. We used andesite and granite for all our tests. We determined the relationship between the crack velocity and the stress intensity factor using the double-torsion test under conditions of controlled temperature. We showed that crack velocities in water were higher than those in air, in agreement with other research results indicating that crack velocity increases in water. When we compared our results for NaOHaq with those for water, however, we found that the crack velocity at the same stress intensity factor did not change even though the pH of the surrounding environment was different. This result does not agree with the accepted understanding that hydroxide ions accelerate subcritical crack growth in rocks. We concluded that the pH at the crack tip influences subcritical crack growth, and not the bulk pH, which has little effect.
