In this study, we performed the CFD analysis to predict the cooling performance of the motor for golf-car application. The motor for the golf-car is different from the general motors in the cooling method and the operating condition. So, it is important to predict the motor's temperature generated by the electric losses. We investigated the inner temperature rise using the unsteady state analysis and compared with the experiment for the reliability evaluation of the CFD results through the present study.

Contra-rotating rotors have been adopted for some of the cooling fans to meet the demand for the high pressure and large flow rate. Therefore, it is important to clarify its inlet and outlet flows by experiments for the high performance and stable operation. PIV measurements were conducted at the design and partial flow rates. In the present paper, the inlet and outlet flow conditions of the contra-rotating small-sized cooling fan with a 40mm square casing are studied by using PIV measurement. Furthermore, improvements of the flow condition and design guideline to increase the performance were discussed based on the experimental results.

An experimental study has been carried out for jet-impingement cooling on the semi-circular concave surface. Two different nozzles(round edged nozzle and rectangular edged nozzle) are utilized and heat transfer coefficients on the concave surface have been measured under a constant heat flux condition. The characteristics of heat transfer has been discussed in conjunction with measured jet flow. Velocity and turbulence intensity of free jets issuing from two different nozzles have been measured by Laser Doppler Anemometry and theromocouple measurements have been done for temperatures on the concave surface. The effects of the nozzle shape, the distance between the nozzle exit and the stagnation point of the surface and the nozzle exit velocity on heat transfer were studied.

This study describes to analyze the cooling load characteristics for a room air conditioner as a function of supply ventilation air when an air conditioner is running An experimental apparatus consists of a test room, a room air conditioner, a humidifier, an electrical heater a supply fan and a controller The reaching time to the inside setting temperature of the room air conditioner with is evaluated theoretically and experimentally in a conditioned space cooling loads such as supply ventilation air, lighting, occupancy and infiltration. In the conditions of cooling loads for the supply ventilation air of 9.5 L/s(0.98 ACH). lights. one Person, and infiltration, the reaching time to the inside setting temperature ($27\;^{\circ}C$ dry-bulb) increases up to $35\%$ more than for no supply ventilation air condition. Theoretical modelling of the reaching time shows good agreement with experimental results.

The effect of manufacturing parameters on wear and improve cooling of motorcycle break system was studied using a disk-on-pad type friction tester. Such parameters conditions have an effect on the wear and improve cooling factor such as applied load, sliding speed, frictional time and number of ventilated disk hole. However, it is difficult to know the mutual relation of these factor. In this study, the wear and cooling characteristics using design of experiment containing 4 elements were investigated for an optimal condition for the best motorcycle disk break system employing Taguchi robust experimental design. From this study, the result was shown that vents have an effect on convection area improving more cooling ability and reduced wear of the disk.

In this study, a two-phase closed loop cooling system is desinged and tested for a laptop computer using a FC-72. The cooling system is characterized by a parametric study which determines the effects of existence of a boiling enhancement microstructure, initial system pressure, volume fill ratio of coolant and inclination angle of condenser on the thermal performance of the closed loop. Experimental data show the optium condition when the volume ratio of working fluid is 70%, the pump flowing is 6ml/min, and the inclination angle of condenser is $0^{\circ}$. This research shows the maximum values which can dissipate 33W of chip power with a chip temperature maintained at $95^{\circ}C$.

Recently, the fuel charge is accounted for very high in the navigation cost. Therefore Shipowner is tried to find method for reducing oil consumption. ERCS(Energy Reduced Cooling System) is one of the method. The ERCS algorithm operates to decrease a power consumption of main sea water cooling pump through inverter control. We have developed ERCS controller with algorithm. The ERCS controller consists of CPU board, Digital I/O board, A/D board, D/A board and LCD/SW board. We tested with dummy signal to confirm the algorithm working correctly and achieved the good results. Before soon we will test under real condition in the ship and expect to get the result as forecasted.

In this study, we analyzed the three dimensional unsteady flow field around the motor cooling fan using the unsteady lifting surface theory. We obtained the flow rate for various geometries of fan from the calculated results of velocity field. For the data of design parameter and rotating speed(rpm) of the fan, we can predict the flow rate of the motor cooling fan with thin thickness through numerical analysis without the experimental data of the free stream velocity which is a boundary condition of flow field. the numerical results showed the flow rate within 10% of error in comparison with experimental results. The radial fans, which are often used as internal motor fan were also investigated with the same procedure.

This study was initiated to evaluate the cooling performance of CAC (charged air cooler) and radiator in the engine room of a mini bus. So we had firstly to predict the mass flow rate coming from radiator grille and front bum per opening using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation based on 3D configuration. And simulations were carried out for different cooling module layout and bum per opening hole size on sam e vehicle operating condition. Simulation results show that CAC cooling performance at reverse protecting plate-applying model was much efficient than that of the bum per opening hole size-increasing model in IMTD point of view. Part of the CFD simulation results was com pared to with experimental data. It was confirm ed that the CFD approach using STAR-CD based on pursuing no-com promise solution could provide design engineers with useful design information in the early design stage of vehicle development.
