This paper is a study on application of warm air circulator by using the carbon heating element with particle type. The main variables are the input current and amount of carbon heating source for experimental characteristics. The experimental results are obtained as follows. As the input current and temperature are increased, the resistance of heat source is decreased about $20{\sim}25%$ by the effect of negative resistance. As the amount of heating source is small, Joule heat is large with the input current. When the amount of heating source is 300 and the input current is 15A, the value of Joule heat is about 4604.6kJ/h. The heat production efficiency of carbon heating source is larger about 10% than the sheath heater.

Heat analysis of the plate type and wave type heat sink were carried out by using computational simulation. The heat resistance and air flow of two heat sink models were analysed according to natural and forced convection condition and positions of fan. When a fan was at the position of z-axis and y-axis in forced convection, the heat resistances of plate type heat sink were $0.17^{\circ}C/W$, and $0.28^{\circ}C/W$ respectively. In the case of wave type heat sink, they were $0.18^{\circ}C/W$ and $0.53^{\circ}C/W$. As the air flow velocities were averagely $0.386\;m/s\~3.269\;m/s$, air flow velocity of plate type heat sink was faster than that of wave type. In this experiment, it was observed that the plate type heat sink showed a good ability of heat radiation comparing with wave type one.

Thermal performance of louver fin and plate fin in a thermoelectric cooling system with a duct-flow type fan arrangement is analytically evaluated. The thermoelectric cooling system consists of a thermoelectric module and two heat exchanger fins. The analytic results show that the optimized louver fin has lower thermal resistance than plate fin. The COP and heat absorbed rate of the thermoelectric cooling system with optimized louver fins are 10.3% and 5.8% higher than optimized plate fins, respectively.

We present experimental data on the time response behavior of industrial platinum resistance thermometers (IPRT) to help with the selection of proper sensors in industry and research laboratories. Time constants of IPRTs were measured using a method specified in ASTM standards. Two different sensors of different protecting sheath diameters were tested in air, water and silicon oil at temperatures from $0^{\circ}C$ to $200^{\circ}C$. The time constant was the smallest in water and the highest in air. As the test temperature increased, time constants tended to decrease at all heat conducting media. For different diameters of sheath of IPRT at the same temperature, it was found that the IPRT of larger diameter showed higher time constant in air, but the opposite dependence was observed in water and oil. From the measured results, it was suggested that the sensor diameter and heat conducting medium should be considered if one wants to select proper thermometer to measure the dynamic temperature change in industry and research area.

Parametric study has been conducted to calculate the capacity of vacuum pump system that will be used to maintain the pressure of the tube structure under atmosphere level. Recently many railroad researchers pay attention to the tube train system as one of the super high speed transportation system. To achieve the super high speed, the inside of tube system should be maintained at low pressure level. In the low pressure environment, it is well known that air resistance of train is drastically decreased. Vacuum pump system will be used to make low pressure state for tube structure, exhaust the leakage air and supplement additional vacuum pumping. As results of these studies, we get the lump capacity of vacuum pump for various parameters. These results can be applied to analyze the effects of the reduction of air resistance.

The experiments were performed with a $31{\times}31{\times}7mm^3$ simulated 3-dimensional module on the thermal conductive board of a parallel plate channel. The convective thermal conductance for the path from the module surface directly to airflow and conjugate thermal conductance for the path leading from the module to the floor by way of a module support, then, to the airflow were determined with several combinations of module-support-construction(210, 0.32, 0.021 K/W)/floor-material(398, 0.236W/mK) and channel height(15-30mm). As the result, it was found that the conjugate thermal conductance and the temperature distribution around the module depend on the thermal resistance of the module support, and the channel height. These configurations were designed to investigate on the feasibility of using the substrate as an effective heat spreader in the forced convective air-cooling of surface mounted heat source. The experimental results were discussed in the light of interactive nature of heat transfer through two paths, one directed from the module to the airflow and the other via the module support and the floor to the air.

The electronic property of graphene was investigated by hydrazine treatment. Hydrazine ($N_2H_4$) highly increases electron concentrations and up-shifts Fermi level of graphene based on significant shift of Dirac point to the negative gate voltage. We have observed contact resistance and channel length dependent mobility of graphene in the back-gated device after hydrazine monohydrate treatment and continuously monitored electrical characteristics under Nitrogen or air exposure. The contact resistance increases with hydrazine-treated and subsequent Nitrogen-exposed devices and reduces down in successive Air-exposed device to the similar level of pristine one. The channel conductance curve as a function of gate voltage in hole conduction regime keeps analogous value and shape even after Nitrogen/Air exposure specially whereas, in electron conduction regime change rate of conductance along with the level of conductance with gate voltage are decreased. Hydrazine could be utilized as the highly effective donor without degradation of mobility but the stability issue to be solved for future application.

The main objective of this work is to experimentally investigate the effect of inlet geometries on the distribution of two-phase annular flow at header-channel junctions simulating the corresponding parts of compact heat exchangers. The cross-section of the header and the channels were fixed to $16mm{\times}16mm$ and $12mm{\times}1.8mm$, respectively. Experiments were performed for the mass flux and the mass quality ranges of $30{\sim}140kg/m^2s$ and 0.3~0.7, respectively. Air and water were used as the test fluids. Three different inlet geometries of the header were tested:no restriction (case A), a single 8 mm hole at the center (case B), and nine 2 mm holes around the center (case C) at the inlet, respectively. The tendencies of the two-phase flow distribution were different, in each case. For cases B and C (flow resistance exists), more uniform flow distribution results were seen, compared with case A(no flow resistance), due to the flow pattern change to mist flow from annular flow at the inlet, and the flow recirculation near the end plate of the header.

The objective of this study is to prevent or decrease condensation on the surface of aluminum butterfly valves used in high humidity air conditions. We proposed a new valve with an anti-condensation device, a heat resistance medium, instead of a conventional valve. We, then, compared the surface temperature distribution between the proposed and conventional valves using experimental and analytical methods. The size of the evaluated valve is 100A and fluid conditions are 35℃/RH 75% in the air outside the valve and 5℃ in the cooling water inside the valve. The experimental results show that the surface temperature of the proposed valve is 23~42% higher than that of a conventional valve, thereby exhibiting an anti-condensation effect. As a result, we observed the complete prevention of condensation on a gear box mounted to the proposed valve, showing surface temperature distribution above the dew point temperature of air. The analytical results are in agreement with the trends in experimental results.

In this study, the laminating of TPU film after coating of primer adhesive on the fabrics was applied in order to secure the strength to withstand a fall from a higher altitude by increasing the adhesion between the fabric and the film layer. It seems that the fineness of the yarn and the weave construction have a greater effect than the type of the laminating films. The order of superiority of the laminated fabrics by film type and thickness was the same for 1000 denier and 210 denier fabrics, and the tendency was consistent with the order of superiority in the film properties and peel strength tests. The tear strength of laminating fabrics increased three to four times for 1000 denier fabrics compared to the fabric alone, but it decreased by 2 times for the 210 denier fabrics. Summarizing the above results, it is most appropriate to combine 1000d fabric with three types of laminating films(100~200㎛ thickness) of A(0.2T) or B(0.15T) or D(0.1T) considering the air pressure resistance, the impact resistance during the fall, and the durability against damage during use.
