The demand on thermos furnace of Al molten metal has recently been getting higher and higher according to the increase in use of Al and Al alloys. This study considers the estimation of the thermal and mechanical stability in the thermos furnace for Al casting. It is executed through the analysis of heat transfer on the refractory material and heat stress on each steel shell. Also, the estimation of structural stability was appraised through the strength analysis of the lower structure. In result, the temperature of steel shell rose to 320.15K and its elastic deformation was about 1.5mm. The elastic deformation of the lower structure was about 0.66mm. As a result of it, the data obtain from the analysis in this study are regarded as stable value on considering that the size of the furnace is 2500mm.

The development of new spraying processes has increased the demand for high quality protective coatings. Many thermal spraying processes have been developed to obtain coatings for a wide spectrum of materials and substrates. The plasma spray process was used to deposit coatings of WC-12%Co powders on mild steel substrate, and the characteristics of as-sprayed and vacuum heat treated coatings have been investigated. The variations of microhardness and bond strength in WC-12%Co coatings after heat treatment under vacuum circumstance have been investigated. The effects of phases and morphologies of WC-12%Co coatings have been investigated by utilizing X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. The microhardness and bond strength of the coatings were increased with increasing the temperature in the temperature range of $700^{circ}C~1000^{\circ}C$. The bond strength was obtained 49 MPa after vacuum heat treatment at $1000^{\circ}C$.

GHP system utilize national gas as a heat source. It reduces electric peak demand in summer and maintains a constant performance in winter by recovering the waste heat from the engine. Although the initial investment cost of GHP is higher than that of EHP, the overall operating cost of GHP is cheaper than of the EHP. In this study, items for dissatisfaction were summarized based on the results of user questionnaire(200 users), and field tests were made for 10 GHP installation places. The measured COP was estimated much lower than the rated COP by the manufacturer mainly due to partial load operation.

Power consumption in Southeast Asia is steadily increasing due to industrialization and the effects of hot and humid climates. However, there are not enough energy generation facilities and infrastructures to meet the growing demand because it is difficult to secure the construction and operation costs of the transmission and distribution systems. This study aims to develop a gas engine driven heat pump system that supplies heating, cooling and electric power to buildings. This system, besides its normal function to produce heat, has the capacity to generate electricity on a household level. This paper investigates similar cases overseas before developing the system. Through the investigation of commercialized similar systems, the level of technology and market trend of development system were identified. Features and specifications of commercial and industrial systems will be used for system development.

At present time, LNG demand of the world is increasing and the piping line for NG transportation has been already installed in Korea. The air fm vaporizer is, however, required because of the transportation for remotely local areas. This paper numerically investigates on the heat transfer characteristics of relevant geometric variations of air-fin vaporizer which is heated by air not by sea water. This vaporizer must be designed in consideration of both efficiency and economics because air is relatively a little heat source. In this study, the pipe and the longitudinal fins are fundamental geometric considerations. Main parameters of geometry are the number, the thickness, and the length of the fins. Finally, the results of heat transfer effects are investigated with the characteristics of each parameter variation.

The theoretical simulation to predict the variation of supplying heat according to control methods of DHS(District Heating System) have been done by TRNSYS(A Transient System Simulation Program) 16. The physical system for DHS consists of primary and secondary supplying heating loop which is divided by based on heat exchanger for heating demand of building. The simulation results showed that control of secondary supplying heat had influenced more than primary supplying heat control to total energy consumption of DHS. And the outside temperature reset control of primary supplying heating loop could be reduced until about 4% overheating of each zone.

Recently, due to limitation of $CO_2$ gas emission and increase of demand to reduce energy consumption, lots of researches are conducted to harvest wasted heat energy with a thermoelectric module to produce electricity by Seebeck effect. This study was conducted to analyze characteristics of the thermoelectric module to apply for a heat energy harvesting device. Thermoelectric module composed of bismuth telluride was tested with various temperature conditions to analyze thermoelectric behavior of the module. Power generation efficiency of the thermoelectric module for various temperature condition was analysed with both experimental and theoretical methods. From the results, an optimum condition to harvest wasted heat energy with the thermoelectric module more efficiently was proposed.

Recently, life cycle and lead-time of products have been shortened with the demand of customers. Therefore, it is important to reduce time and cost at the stage of manufacturing trial molds. In order to realize a three-dimensional shape on CAD, the machining process has been widely used because it offers practical advantages such as precision and versatility. However, the traditional machining process needs a large amount of time in cutting a product and the remained material causes trouble such as inconvenience for clarity. In this work, a new rapid manufacturing process using the hot tool, Rapid Heat Ablation process, has been developed to overcome such limitations. While the hot tool moves the predetermined path, the heat of the tool decomposes the remained material. The radius of heat affect ed zone related to process parameters was investigated through experiments to improve the quality of ablated parts. In order to examine the applicability of the proposed process, three-dimensional shapes such as hemisphere and standard test part, wereablatedutilizingtheapparatus.

The price increase of natural resources and the worldwide growth of LNG demand led to save the waste of Boil-Off Gas evaporating from cargo tanks of LNG carriers during navigation. As one of the efforts, a BOG reliquefaction system with BOG-to-BOG heat exchanging method was newly devised. This study was also discussed on the process details such as some features and advantages including comparisons with conventional BOG reliquefaction system, non BOG-BOG heat exchange type. The thermodynamic analysis for the system were also performed. Through the cycle simulation, the process efficiency of the BOG reliquefaction system BOG-BOG heat exchange was estimated to be increased up to 21%.
