In this paper, the operating thermal characterictics of liquid-ice was expeimentally investigated in an adiabatic and a non-adiabatic direct contact liquid-ice heat exchanger. Experiments were carried out varing inlet temperature, Ice Packing Factor, and the flow rate of heat transfer fluid. The higher inlet temperature and the more much inlet flow rate, thermal stratification in liquid-ice heat exchanger was established faster. In the case of adiabatic ice storage tank, temperature distribution was a little higher at all conditions than that of non-adiabatic one. The ratio of latent energy to total discharge energy($E_{\lambda}/E_[tot}$) was about 80%, and the discharge of latent heat energy was appeared rapidly as inlet temperature and flow rate were higher.

Recently, self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS), related to metallic and ceramic powder interactions, has attracted huge interest from more and more researchers, because it can provide an attractive, energy-efficient approach to the synthesis of simple and complex materials. The adiabatic temperature $T_{ad}$ and apparent activation energy analysis of different thermit systems plays an important role in thermodynamic studies on combustion synthesis. After establishing and verifying a mathematic calculation program for predicting adiabatic temperatures, based on the thermodynamic theory of combustion synthesis systems, the adiabatic temperatures of the NiO/Al aluminothermic system during self-propagating high-temperature synthesis were investigated. The effect of a diluting agent additive fraction on combustion velocity was studied. According to the simulation and experimental results, the apparent activation energy was estimated using the Arrhenius diagram of $ln(v/T_{ad}){\sim}/T_{ad}$ based on the combustion equation given by Merzhanov et al. When the temperature exceeds the boiling point of aluminum (2,790 K), the apparent activation energy of the NiO/Al aluminothermic system is $64{\pm}14$ kJ/mol. In contrast, below 2,790 K, the apparent activation energy is $189{\pm}15$ kJ/mol. The process of combustion contributed to the mass-transference of aluminum reactant of the burning compacts. The reliability of the simulation results was experimentally verified.

An analytical method to predict qualitative performance characteristics of the Stirling Engines in the preliminary design stages is investigated. Both the expansion and the compression cylinder are treated as adiabatic and piston motions are approximated as saw-toothed waves. Basic equations which were originally proposed by Finkelstein consist of mass conservation and energy balances for each adiabatic cylinder. The approximation on piston motions and physical conditions make it possible to divide an engine cycle into four fundamental processes. In each process, first, pressure can be expressed as a function of the crank angle by solving a nonlinear first order ordinary differential equation and other thermodynamic variables are determined in turn. Application of the cyclic steady condition to the whole processes can complete a cycle. Also, further analysis results in analytic expressions for cyclic work and heat transfer in terms of the engine parameters and thermodynamic variables at boundary points. The results are expected useful as a quick reference for the engine performances. Finally, the present method can be applied to the other adiabatic analyses on the Stirling Engines with piece wise linear piston motions, if mass variations are predictable.

Turbocharger technology is one of the ways to survive in a competitive market that is facing increasing demand for fuel and improving the efficiency of vehicle engines. Turbocharging allows the engine to operate at close to its maximum power, thereby reducing the relative friction losses. One way to optimally understand the behavior of a turbocharger is to better understand the heat flow. In this paper, a 1.7 liter, 4 cylinder and 16 air valve gasoline engine turbocharger with compressible, viscous and 3D flow was investigated. The purpose of this paper is numerical investigation of the number of heat transfer in gasoline engines turbochargers under 3D flow and to examine the effect of different types of coatings on its performance; To do this, modeling of snail chamber and turbine blades in CATIA and simulation in ANSYS-FLUENT software have been used to compare the results of turbine with experimental results in both adiabatic and non-adiabatic (heat transfer) conditions. It should be noted that the turbine blades are modeled using multiple rotational coordinate methods. In the experimental section, we simulated our model without coating in two states of adiabatic and non-adiabatic. Then we matched our results with the experimental results to prove the validation of the model. Comparison of numerical and experimental results showed a difference of 8-10%, which indicates the accuracy and precision of numerical results. Also, in our studies, we concluded that the highest effective power of the turbocharged engine is achieved in the adiabatic state. We also used three types of SiO₂, Sic and Si₃N₄ ceramic coatings to investigate the effect of insulating coatings on turbine shells to prevent heat transfer. The results showed that SiO₂ has better results than the other two coatings due to its lower heat transfer coefficient.

Recently, due to the increase in high-rise apartment and residential-commercial complex buildings, a number of mega-class mass concrete members with a thickness of 3m or more have been designed. As the construction of mass concrete such as transfer beam and slab is increasing not only in foundation members but also in special structures, research on reducing temperature cracks in mass concrete is being conducted. To review temperature cracks in mass concrete, it is important to review the thermal properties of concrete, but it is difficult to use an adiabatic temperature rise tester in the field, so the semi-adiabatic temperature rise test is mainly used. In this study, to improve the accuracy of the results of concrete heat characteristics gained by the semi-adiabatic temperature rise test, various factors affecting heat loss compensation and methods were reviewed and presented.

Development of carbon-neutral fuel production technologies to solve climate change issues is progressing worldwide. Among them, methane can be produced through the synthesis of hydrogen produced by renewable energy and carbon dioxide captured through a CO₂ methanation reaction, and the fuel produced in this way is called synthetic methane or e-methane. The CO₂ methanation reaction can be conducted via biological or thermochemical methods. In this study, a 30 Nm³/h thermochemical CO₂ methanation process consisting of an isothermal reactor and an adiabatic reactor was used. The CO₂ conversion rate and methane concentration according to the temperature measurement results at the center and outside of the adiabatic reactor were analyzed. The gas flow into the adiabatic reactor was found to reach equilibrium after about 1.10 seconds or more by evaluating the residence time. Furthermore, experimental and analysis results were compared to evaluate performance of the reactor.

The effects of a -phase morphology on the static and dynamic deformation behavior of a Ti-6Al-4V alloy was investigated in this study. Static tension test, static and dynamic tension test and hot compression test were conducted on three microstructures of Ti-6Al-4V alloy, i.e., equiaxed, widmanstatten and bimodal microstructures. Fracture surfaces of all three microstructures represented ductile fracture appearance, though the formation of adiabatic shear bands was noticed at dynamic torsion test. The susceptibility of forming adiabatic shear bands was greatest in the equiaxed microsoucture and lowest in the bimodal microstructure, which was evidenced by hot compression test.

The shape optimization of blade sweep in a transonic axial compressor rotor of NASA Rotor 37 has been performed using response surface method and the three-dimensional Wavier-Stokes analysis. Two shape variables of the rotor blade, which are used to define the rotor sweep, are introduced to increase the adiabatic efficiency of the compressor. Throughout the optimization, optimal shape having a backward sweep is obtained. Adiabatic efficiency, which is the objective function of the present optimization, is successfully increased. Separation line due to the interference between a shock and surface boundary layer on the blade suction surface is moved downstream for the optimized blade compared to the reference one. The increase in adiabatic efficiency for the optimized blade is caused by suppression of the separation due to a shock on the blade suction surface.

We present the results of a combined magnetization, dc and magneto-transport study of the n = 2 Ruddlesden-Popper compound $Ca_3Mn_2O_7$ The negative thermoelectric powder is observed. The magnetic measurement data show that there is sharp magnetic transition at 134 K. However, the de and magnetoresistance of $Ca_3Mn_2O_7$ show no particular transport. Transport properties of the compound $Ca_3Mn_2O_7$ are interpreted in terms of activated hopping of small polarons in non-adiabatic regime. Polarons are most probably formed around $Mn^{3+}$ sites created by oxygen sub-stoichiometry.

A Miniature inertance pulse tube refrigerator was designed and tested with a 10 W compressor. Erperiments were carried out for different pulse tube length and inertance tube length. An adiabatic model which considered the pressure drop in the regenerator was used to analyze the performance of the pulse tube refrigerator. Among various design parameters which should be optimized, the pulse tube length and the inertance tube length were optimized. PdV work and several different loss mechanism were included in the analysis to simulate more accurately the physical phenomena in the pulse tube refrigerator. Nevertheless, the simulation program could not completely predict the porformance of the refrigerator. The possible reason for the difference of the optimal point between the simulation and the experiment was explained.
