  • The effect of antifreeze solution liquid film on the frost prevention is experimentally investigated. It is desirable that the antifreeze solution spreads widely on the heat exchanger surface forming thin liquid film to prevent frost nucleation while having small thermal resistance across the film. A porous layer coating technique is adopted to improve the wettability of the antifreeze solution on a parallel plate heat exchanger. The antifreeze solution spreads widely on the heat exchanger surface with $100{\mu}m$ thickness by the capillary force resulted from the porous structure. It is observed that the antifreeze solution liquid film prevents a parallel plate heat exchanger from frosting. The reductions of heat and mass transfer rate caused by the thin liquid film are only $1{\sim}2%$ compared with those for non-liquid film surface.

  • Experimental investigations are carried out for the characteristics of bubble rise in the Miniature Two-Phase closed Thermosyphon(MTPCT) with a thin wire insert. The working fluids applied as experimental media are of three kinds: water, methanol, and ethanol. The effects of combination of the inclination with diametric ratio $\alpha$(=d$_{0}$/D$_{I}$) on rising velocity of a large bubble in the thermosyphon are explicitly analyzed. The realm of a movable bubble and the critical value of $\alpha$ are iteratively pursued to interpret the region Figures-of-Break, rooted in the governing physics relations, according to the application of working fluid. Experimental results are compared with those of analysis and critical ranges for $\alpha$ and D$_{I}$ were ascertained from comparisons.isons.

  • We have developed tight bonding of plastic LCD with new rigid spacer. For tight bonding of two plastic substrates, we designed structures to collect UV or thermal epoxy placed on the top of rigid spacer spontaneously by capillary effect. We confirmed that tight bonded plastic LCD has a good adhesion without induced defects and a high mechanical stability against the various external deformations. This method can be applicable to the fabrication of large plastic LCDs using stamping process.

  • As this study is an experiment for solving problem on the carbonation acceleration of high volume admixture concrete, the capillary pore getting filled up by saponification as cooking oil gets absorbed to the concrete surface in case of applying a cooking oil based coating agent to the concrete has been verified in the previous studies. Accordingly, this study has performed a comparative experiment on the cooking oil and the anticorrosive coating agent sold on the market while the result followed by this experiment has shown the fact of indicating similar carbonation penetration depth and porosity.

  • As a previous research, improved durability of concrete by filling capillary pores with waste cooking oil was suggested as a method of controlling carbonation of the concrete replaced high volume of SCMs. on the other hand, the emulsified refined waste cooking oil for better mixing performance had a drawback of reducing air content related with decreasing freeze-thawing resistance. As a solution of this problem, surface applying method was suggested instead of adding in mixing process, and in this research, the performance regarding concrete durability are evaluated comparing emulsified refined cooking oil with water-repelling agent.

  • The conventional refrigeration system is composed of a compressor, condenser, receiver, expansion valve or capillary tube, and an evaporator. The refrigeration system used in this study has additional expansion valve and evaporator along with an evaporation pressure regulator(EPR) at the exit side of the evaporator. The two evaporators can be operated at different temperatures according to the opening of the EPR. The experimental results obtained using the refrigeration system with parallel control of evaporation pressure are presented and the performance analysis of the refrigeration system with two evaporators is conducted.

  • Recently, porous alumina-based ceramics have been extensively applied in the semi-conductor and display industries, because of their high mechanical strength, high chemical resistance, and high thermal resistance. However, the high electrical resistance of alumina-based ceramics has a negative effect in many applications due to the generation of static electricity. The low electrical resistance and high air permeability are key aspects in using porous alumina-based ceramics as vacuum chucks in the semi-conductor industry. In this study, we tailored the pore structure of porous alumina-based ceramics by adjusting the mixing ratio of the starting alumina, which has different particle sizes. And the electrical resistance was controlled by using chemical additives. The characteristics of the specimens were studied using scanning electron microscopy, mercury porosimetry, capillary flow porosimetry, a universal testing machine, X-ray diffraction, and a high-resistance meter.

  • The thermal dissipation performance of sintered heat pipes is usually determined by the capillarity and permeability of the Cu powder wicks. Since the capillary provided by the Cu powder is usually large enough to draw water from the condenser end to the evaporator end, the permeability has become the controlling factor. In this study, Cu powders with different particle sizes and shapes were loosely sintered, and their permeabilities were compared. The results show that more complicated shapes, finer particle sizes, lower porosities, and rougher pore surfaces give lower permeability and thermal dissipation.

  • The melting behavior of hydrated polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and the rheological properties of hydrated PAN melt were investigated using DSC md modified capillary rheometer. With increasing the water content, Tm of the hydrated PAN was rapidly decreased and finally levelled off above a critical water content. However, the melt viscosity was further decreased even above the critical water content. The hydrated PAN melt showed a typical shear thinning behavior. In arrhenius plot, when the hydrated PAN melt was supercooled, it exhibited a different dependency on temperature from that above melting temperature.

  • In this study, the ability for the function of double pipe inserted liquid pipe with small diameter in the gas pipe with large diameter for the circulating of liquid of high temperature and high pressure and low temperature and low pressure at the same time is presented. And in this double pipe, liquid pipe of high temperature and pressure is used to connect condenser and expansion valve and gas pipe of low temperature is used to connect evaporator and compressor. Also, when liquid refrigerant of high temperature and gas refrigerant of low temperature is circulated by reversed flow in the double pipe. The contribution of liquid gas heat exchange pipe is studied by comparison of the effect of heat transfer by temperature difference when liquid pipe and gas pipe is installed separately.
