Today's industrialized plants are required to reduce SOx emitted from stacks at factories, utility power stations, etc. For this purpose, flue gas desulfurization (FGD) system is installed and gas-gas heater (GGH) is used to play a vital role to reheat the wet treated gas from FGD. The sector plates are located at cold and hot sides of gas gas heater. They serve as sealing to prevent mixing treated and untreated gases. Therefore, the deformation of the sector plate due to its dead weight and gas pressure should be considered as major factor for the sector plate design.

A simple finite element analysis is performed to simulate the thermal characteristics of a micro sensor package with thin film heater embedded in the glass wall of a micro-channel. In this paper, Electric characteristics of ITO sputtered heater were presented in this study, which can be used as a map of heater design in the range of available system temperature. The effects of thermo-physical properties of materials, geometrical structure and boundary condition on the thermal performance are also investigated. Finally, the design of micro-flow induced thermal sensor that is capable of measuring fluid flow with a lower flow detection limit of approximately 24pL/s is presented.

This paper presents dynamic analysis of HVAC(heating ventilation & air conditioning) heater case which consists of heater and evaporator unit for passenger car. To analyze the dynamic characteristics of HVAC heater case, finite element model which consists of shell elements is constructed for modal analysis and experimental modal analysis has been conducted. Finite element analysis results are compared with experimental results to evaluate of validity of finite element model. After identifying mode shape and natural frequency of HVAC heater case, local stiffness of HVAC case is evaluated through point mobility using finite element analysis and experiment.

Solid state diffusion brazing of aluminum castings (AC4C) and wrought alloys (Al6061) was conducted in order to improve thermal conductivity and temperature uniformity of the aluminum heater which was generally fabricated by casting method. Tensile strength and thermal conductivity are raised with increasing brazing temperature, obtaining 122.5 MPa and $206W/m{\cdot}K$ at $540^{\circ}C$ 5hrs brazing conditions, respectively. The diffusion brazed heater, shows maximum temperature difference of $4^{\circ}C$, exhibits a enhanced temperature uniformity compared with the cast heater having the maximum temperature difference of $11^{\circ}C$.

Characteristics of a heater-triggered switch has been analyzed through the simulations and experiments. It was for the charging of Bi-2223 double pancake load with 1.7 mH and two heaters were used. The timing of the sequential control and the heating current with two heaters are important factors to generate pumping-current. The thermal analysis of the switch considering the heater input and time was carried out. Based on the analysis just mentioned. heater-triggered switch was fabricated. Characteristic analysis was carried out through two modes having different sequential timing controls. Maximum pumping-current reached 18 A and the pumping rate was 113 mA/s at that time.

Zone-melting recrystallization (ZMR) system using two graphite heaters(a stationary sheet and a narrow movable bar) was constructed and implemented in recrystallization op Si films on insulating layers. The recystallized Si films were examined by Nomarski contrast optical microscopy after Dash etching, transmission electron diffraction pattern, and x-ray diffraction. With optimum conditions of process parameters(input powers of the bottom and upper heater, scanning speed of the upper heater, and the gap between sample and upper heater), the recrystallized Si layer has a (100) texture, but contains many subboundaries. The subgrains are misoriented by < 0.5\ulcorner and the average spacing between subboundaries is about 25\ulcorner.

Constant temperature regulation of a hybrid heater which is composed of a temperature sensitive ferrite with low permeability and a Cu tube is investigated for hyperthermia. The temperature sensitive ferrite is inserted into a Cu tube and its length and diameter are 10 mm and 3 mm. Below B=0.05 T, the measured temperature and the calculated one increased with the ratio of $B^{1/2}$ and agreed well with each other. Above B=0.05 T, the measured temperatures maintained constantly almost $50^{\circ}C{\pm}1.5^{\circ}C$ because of the influence of Curie temperature of the temperature sensitive ferrite. This result shows that the hybrid heater is able to regulate the temperature constantly at the rate of $50^{\circ}C{\pm}1.5^{\circ}C$.

This study focuses on the development and evaluation of the high efficiency absorption chiller-heater, which can be applied to a direct gas fired, double effect system with 40RT (508,000kJ) cooling capacity. The performance of the absorption chiller-heater is investigated through cycle simulation and experiment to obtain the system characteristics with the inlet tenperature of cooling, chilled water, and gas input flow rate. The efficiency of the different cycles has been studied and the simulation and experiment results show that higher coefficient of performance could be obtained for mixed flow cycle. The five percent difference was obtained from the comparison between experimental and cycle simulation results. As a result of this study, the optimum designs were determined based on the operating conditions and the coefficient of performance.

In this study, micro square heaters having dimensions of $65{\times}65{\mu}m^2$and $100{\times}100{\mu}m^2$ were fabricated and bubble nucleation experiments on the heaters were performed. Bubble nucleation temperature was also measured using a bridge circuit and the photographs of bubble nucleation and subsequent growth were taken by a camera with a flash unit. Measured bubble nucleation temperatures were found to be closer to the superheat limit of working fluid (FC-72). Also quasi-1D analyses for the square heaters were performed. The quasi-1D analysis yielded proper temperature distribution of the square heater at steady state, however failed to predict the temperature rise up to the steady state. Similar time dependent temperature can be obtained with proper value of thermal diffusivity. For the $100{\times}100{\mu}m^2$ square heater, nucleation of several bubbles was observed while only one bubble was observed to be nucleated on $65{\times}65{\mu}m^2$ heater.

A field test was peformed to estimate the thermal performance of the forced convection electric air heater by the experiment. Air temperature, flow rate and electrical power input were measured with the related measurement sensors, and acquisition methods for the measured data were studied to effectively estimate the thermal performance of the tested air heater. To determine the mean air temperature at the flow cross-section, measuring positions were chosen by considering the flow velocity profile and the equally divided cross-sectional area. From the experimental results, thermal efficiency is obtained as an indication of the tested electric air heater performance.
