Vegetable oils can contribute to the goal of energy independence and security owing to their naturally renewable resources. One of the representative vegetable oils is biodiesel, which is being used in domestic and European markets as a blended fuel with automotive diesel. Vegetable oils are promising candidates as base fluids to replace petroleum lubricants because of their excellent lubricity and biodegradability. We prepared biodiesel with a purity of 99.9% via the esterification of waste cooking oil. Blended biodiesel and Petro-lube base oil were mixed to produce five types of mixed lubricating oil. We analyzed the various characteristics of the blended biodiesel with Petro-lube base oil for different blending ratios. The lubricity of the vegetable lubricant improves as the content of biodiesel increases. In addition, since zinc dialkyldithiophosphates (ZnDTPs) are widely used as multifunctional additives in petroleum-based lubricants, we optimized the blending ratio for lubricity, oxidation stability, and shear stability by adding ZnDTP as a performance additive to improve the biodiesel properties, such as oxidation stability and hydrolysis. The optimized lubricants improve by approximately 25% in lubricity and by 20 times in oxidation stability and shear stability after the addition of ZnDTP.

It has been shown that a nanofluid consisting of nanoparticles dispersed in base fluid has much higher effective thermal conductivity than pure fluid. In this study, four kinds of nanofluids such as multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) in water, CuO in water, SiO2in water, and CuO in ethylene glycol, are produced. Their thermal conductivities are measured by a transient hot-wire method. The thermal conductivity of water-based MWCNT nanofluid is shown to be increased by up to 11.3% at a volume fraction of 0.01. The measured thermal conductivities of MWCNT nanofluids are higher than those calculated with Hamilton-Crosser's model due to neglecting solid-liquid interaction at the interface. The results show that the thermal conductivity enhancement of nanofluids depends on the thermal conductivities of both particles and the base fluid. Stability of nanofluids is estimated by UV-vis spectrum analysis. Stability of nanofluid depends on the type of base fluid and the suspended particles. Also it can be improved in addition of a surfactant.

This study represents the newly advanced formulation of hydraulic fluids for extended drain interval and introduces the performance results of used oil samples from various excavators. The used oil samples, in this paper show that there is a sharp change in viscosity drop and moderate additive depletion when viscosity index of hydraulic oil is very high. For the extension of hydraulic fluid life, it is necessary to improve the stability of viscosity and oxidation. New target properties from the used oil analysis were proposed for extended life. Performance of newly developed hydraulic oil based on used oil analysis is compared with previously used one. The properties of new formulation are the viscosity index of 140 and improved thermal stability consists of VHVI base oil. Field test results showed the possibility of extension of fluid life. Additionally, for development of high performance product, new required properties and performances were discussed.

Effects of oral administration of electrolyte solutions were studied in experimentally dehydrated adult sheep. By the latin square method five ruminal fistulated sheep were examined and dehydrated by deprivation of feed and water for 72 hours. Tap water, physiological saline, 0.45% NaCl+120 mM/L glucose and 0.9% NaCl+1% propylene glycol solution were orally administrated after dehydration, respectively. Rehydration effect and modification of the rumen function were compared. 1. After 72 hours of deprivation of feed and water, sheep were hypertonic dehydrated and blood acid-base parameters were not significantly changed. And there was marked increase in ruminal pH and decrease in ruminal total volatile fatty acid(VFA) concentration. 2. After the fluids administration the changes in blood acid-base parameters were not significant in all groups. 3. Although glucose fermentation in the rumen was observed, 0.45% NaCl+120 mM/L glucose was more effective in rehydration than physiological saline and tap water. But it was difficult to know the rehydration effect of 0.9% NaCl+1% propylene glycol solution exactly because of excessive increase in plasma osmolality. 4. After refeeding, total concentration and proportions of ruminal volatile fatty acid(VFA) were not significantly different among groups and recovered to normal concentration but not in proportions after 2 days in all groups. 5. In vitro cultured ruminal protozoa were susceptible to the decrease of the pH and osmolality.

복합재의 물성치 해석에 일반적으로 사용되는 일반화된 자기일치모델(Generalized Self-Consistent Model)과 수정된 에쉘비모델(Modified Eshelby Model)을 이용하여 나노유체의 열전도계수를 예측할 수 있음을 보였다. 이 유체의 열전달효과를 대폭 향상시키는 대표적인 메카니즘 중 하나인 나노입자와 기본유체 사이에 존재하는 나노층의 영향을 고려하여 나노유체의 열전도계수를 예측하였다. 본 연구는 나노층의 열전도계수가 일정한 값을 가질 때 기존 대표적인 모델과 동일한 결과를 보였으며, 선형적으로 변할 때 역시 문헌에 있는 모델과 동등한 수준의 예측 값을 보였다. 알루미나와 산화구리를 나노입자로 물과 에틸렌글리콜을 기본유체로 한 나노유체의 열전도계수에 대한 실험결과와 본 모델의 예측결과를 비교함으로써 본 모델의 타당성을 입증하였다.

In this study, for increasing the efficiency of solar collector, the thermal conductivities and viscosities of the pure water and ethanol oxidized multi-walled carbon nanofluids were measured. Nanofluids were manufactured by ultra-sonic dispersing oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes(OMWCNTs) in the pure-water and ethanol at the rates of 0.0005 ~ 0.1 vol%. the Thermal conductivities and viscosities of manufactured nanofluids were measured at the low temperature($10^{\circ}C$), the room temperature($25^{\circ}C$) and the high temperature($70^{\circ}C$). For measuring thermal conductivity and viscosity, we used Transient Hot-wire Method and Rotational Digital Viscometer, respectively. As a result, under given temperature conditions, thermal conductivity of the 0.1 vol% pure-water nanofluid improved 7.98% ($10^{\circ}C$), 8.34% ($25^{\circ}C$), and 9.14% ($70^{\circ}C$), and its viscosity increased by 37.08% ($10^{\circ}C$), 33.96% ($25^{\circ}C$) and 21.64% ($70^{\circ}C$) than the base fluids. Thermal conductivity of the 0.1 vol% ethanol nanofluids improved 33.72% ($10^{\circ}C$), 33.14% ($25^{\circ}C$), and 32.36% ($70^{\circ}C$), and its viscosity increased by 37.93% ($10^{\circ}C$), 31.92% ($25^{\circ}C$) and 29.42% ($70^{\circ}C$) than the base fluids.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the cooling performance of radial heat sink used for high power LED lightings by natural convection cooling with surrounding air. Experimental and numerical analyses are carried out together. Parametric studies are performed to compare the effects of geometric parameters in radial heat sink such as the number of fins, fin height, fin length, and thickness of fin base as well as the surface coatings of radial heat sink. In this study, the cooling of 60 W LED lamp is examined with radiative heat transfer considered as well as natural convection. Numerical results show the optimum condition when the number of fin is 40, heat sink height is 120 mm, fin length is 15 mm, and fin base thickness is 3 mm. The difference in temperature of the LED metal PCB is within $1^{\circ}C$ between numerical analyses and experimental results. Also, the CNT coating on the heat sink surface is found to increase the cooling performance significantly.

MR 유체의 물리적 특성은 자기장에 의해 영향을 받으며, 베이스 오일에 마이크로 크기의 자성 파우더가 분산되어 있다. 그러므로 오일과 파우더의 밀도 차이로 MR 댐퍼에 사용되는 MR 유체의 분산 안정성은 중요한 문제이다. 본 실험연구에서는 MR 댐퍼에 사용되는 MR 유체의 화학적 조성에 따른 물리적 특성을 규명해보고자 MR 유체를 제조하여 분산 안정성과 물리적 특성을 조사하였다. 216종의 MR 유체는 자성파우더(2종), 계면활성제(2종), 베이스오일(2종), 특성첨가제(3종), 밀도(3종), 점도(3종)을 이용하여 제조되었다. 실험결과로부터 SEM, 자속밀도, MR 유체의 상등액과 침강층의 분산 자료를 확보하였다.

In this paper, heat transfer characteristics of pulsating heat pipes are investigated with the diameter and the number of tubes through the computational analysis of thermal flow. The numerical simulation includes the phase change precess with VOF model using OpenFOAM software. The numerical code is modified for the phase change to occur with saturation temperature. The numerical results are compared with the previous ones to validate the present code. The resonable results have been obtained based on the mass transfer time relaxation parameter considering the density ratio. When the ratio of length to diameter and the number of tubes are on the decrease, the thermal resistances also tends to decrease in the pulsating heat pipes. These numerical results will supply the base line data to design and to manufacture the pulsating heat pipe.
