Temperature distribution of the circular heat source was studied by analyzing the heat transfer of the environment of the circular source for OLED. Circular nozzle source was used to fabricate thin organic layer as the organic material in it was heated, vaporized and deposited to the large size panel. A modified heater structure of circular source has been suggested. The results of numerical analysis shows that the modified heater structure can use 15% more powder in a batch than the original heater structure does. Moreover, the modified heater structure can improve the uniformity of organic vapor deposition by controlling the temperature.

The paper presents a single-heater microfluid injector, whose ejected droplet volume is adjusted by digital current path control for a single microheater. The previous droplet volume adjustable methods have used the digital current control for multiple heaters or the analog current control for a single heater, while the present method uses the digital current control for a single microheater. Two different microinjectors, having a rectangular heater and a circular hearter, are designed and fabricated in the chip area of $7.64\;mm{\times}5.26\;mm$. The fabricated microinjectors have been tested and characterized for the number, size, shape and lifetime of the generated bubbles as well as for the volume and velocity of the ejected droplets. The input power for the rectangular heater and the circular heater has been varied in the ranges of $8.7{\sim}24.9{\mu}W\;and\;8.1{\sim}43.8{\mu}W$, respectively. The projected area of the generated bubble has been changed in the ranges of $440{\sim}l,3600{\mu}m^2\;and\;800{\sim}3,300{\mu}m^2$ for the rectangular heater and the circular heater, respectively. The microinjector with the rectangular heater ejects three discrete levels of the droplet in the volume range of $9.4{\sim}20.7pl$ with the velocity range of $0.8{\sim}1.7m/s$, while the microinjector with the circular heater achieves five discrete levels of the droplet in the volume range of $7.4{\sim}27.4pl$ with the velocity range of $0.5{\sim}2.8m/s$.

This paper was studied to understand the characteristics of heat transfer coefficients and surface temperature distributions around a circular combustion chamber within the heat-intercept duct of kerosene fan heater. The experiment was carried out in the heat-intercept duct of kerosene fan heater attached to the blow-down-type subsonic wind tunnel with a test section of 240 mm * 240 mm * 1200 mm. The purpose of this paper was to obtain the basic data related with normal combustion for new design from conventional kerosene fan heater, and to investigate the effect of surface temperature, local and mean heat transfer coefficients versus flow-rate of convection axial fan according to the variations of heat release conditions from kerosene fan heater during normal combustion. Consequently it was found that (i) the revolution of convection axial fan during combustion had a smaller value than that of non-combustion because of the thermal resistance due to the high temperature in the heat-intercept duct, (ii) the pressure ratio P$_{2}$/P$_{1}$ had a comparatively constant value of 0.844 according to the revolution increase of turbo fan and the heating performance of kerosene fan heater had a range of 1,494 ~ 3,852 kcal/hr, (iii) the local heat transfer coefficient around a circular combustion chamber had a comparatively larger scale in the range of 315 deg. < .theta. < 45 deg. than that in the range of 90 deg. < .theta. < 270 deg. as a result of heat transfer difference between front and back of a circular combustion chamber, and (iv) the mean heat transfer coefficient around a circular combustion chamber increased linearly like a H$_{m}$=95.196Q+104.019 in condition of high heat release according to the increase of flow-rate of axial fan.n.

In this paper, we present a DNA manipulation device in the reaction chamber, which consists of a center electrode and circular outer electrodes of a reaction unit. The charged bio-molecules, DNA, are manipulated by the charge of the electrode in reaction unit. Controlling the induced dynamic electric field between the center electrode and the outer electrodes, concentration / repulsion / manipulation of bio-molecules are enabled at a periphery of electrode. Concentration of the fluorescent DNA at the center electrode is observed by applying ＋2V. Subsequently, applying －2V, the concentrated DNA is repelled rapidly from the center electrode, which makes dispersion completely in 0.5second. Furthermore, repeated applying ＋1V/－1V every 5 seconds at each outer electrode, we can circulate the DNA. We also investigate a micro-heater and sensor for DNA manipulation and reaction temperature. The coefficient of heat-resistance and heater temperature characteristic is 0.0043 and 100$^{\circ}C$/sec, respectively.

The convection heat transfer on horizontal circular tube is studied as a conjugated heat transfer problem. With uniform heat generation in a cylindrical heater placed in a cross flow boundary condition, heat flow that is conducted along the wall of the heater creates a non-isothermal surface temperature and non-uniform heat flux distribution. In the present investigation, the effects of circumferential wall heat conduction on convection heat transfer are investigated for the case of forced convection around horizontal circular tube in cross flow of air and water. Non-dimensional conjugation parameter $ K^*$ which can be deduced from the governing energy differential equation should be used to express the effect of circumferential wall heat conduction. Two-dimensional temperature distribution$ T({\gamma,\theta})$ is presented. The influence of circumferential wall heat conduction is demonstrated on graph of local Nusselt number.

Nucleate pool boiling experiments with constant heat flux condition were performed using pure R113 for various channel heights under saturated pool condition. A circular heater of 1mm diameter, with artificial cavity in the center, fabricated using MEMS technique and the high-speed controller were used to maintain the constant heat flux. Images of bubble growth were taken at 5,000 frames per second using a high-speed CCD camera. The bubble geometry was obtained from the captured bubble images. The effects of channel height on the bubble growth behaviors were analyzed as dimensional scales for the initial and thermal growth regions. The parameters for the bubble growth behaviors were bubble radius, bubble growth rate, and bubble shapes. These phenomena require further analysis for various surface angles, but this study will provide good experimental data with constant heat flux boundary condition for such works.

With uniform heat generation from the inner surface of the cylindrical heater placed in a cross flow boundary condition, heat flow that is conducted along the wall of the heater creates a non-isothermal surface temperature and non-uniform heat flux distribution. In the present investigation, the effects of circumferential wall heat conduction on convection heat transfer is investigated for the case of forced convection around horizontal circular tube in cross flow of air. The wall conduction number which can be deduced from the governing energy equation should be used to express the effect of circumferential wall heat conduction. It is demonstrated that the circumferential wall heat conduction influences local Nusselt numbers of one-dimensional and two-dimensional solutions.

Hot air heater with light oil combustion is used as the most common heater for greenhouse heating in the winter season. Hot air heaters of 256,246 units have been supplied as main greenhouse heating equipment until 2008 and greenhouse heating cost has reached to 620 billions won in Korea. In order to improve the thermal efficiency of the hot air heater and to reduce the expenses for greenhouse heating, prototype hot air heater was manufactured and tested in this experiment. The heat exchanger of tested prototype hot air heater was circular and hexagonal pipe type and inline and stagger arrangement type. Capacity of the heating was 43,062 kJ/h and total heat transfer area of the heat exchanger was $10.728\;m^2$. According to the performance test, it could supply heat of 38,240 to 35,100 kJ/h depending on the fan motor speed of 1,740~1,220 rpm, respectively. Thermal efficiency of hot air heater was 87.0% to 80.8% in the same conditions. As a result, thermal efficiency of hot air heater with hexagonal pipe-stagger arrangement heat exchanger developed in this study was higher 10.2% than that of conventional hot air heater and heating energy saving rate of 14.3% increased.
