The mass loss rate and heat release rate of puzzle mats were analysed using variable external irradiation level. Five samples of puzzle mat were tested in this study : Type A, B, C, D and E. Type A, B and C are all general grades whereas Type D and E are both Flame retardant grades. Incident heat fluxs of $25kW/m^2$, $35kW/m^2$, $50kW/m^2$ and $70kW/m^2$ were selected for these experiments. All samples were tested in the horizontal orientation and were wrapped in a single layer of aluminum foil. Each sample was nominally 20mm thick and 100mm square. The combustion heat and mass loss rate were carried out from Oxygen bomb calorimeter and mass loss calorimeter according to ISO 5660-1 respectively. Heat release rates were calculated using the equation ${\dot{Q}}=A_f{\dot{m}}"_X{\Delta}H_c=0.75A_f{\dot{m}}"{\Delta}H_c$. where $A_f$ is the horizontal burning area of the sample, $\dot{m}"$ is mass loss rate per unit area, ${\Delta}H_c$ is complete heat of combustion and 0.75 is combustion efficiency.

The present study has been accomplished to elucidate the effect of radiation heat transfer in the heat transfer analysis of refrigerator gasket, which has near 30% of refrigerator heat loss. The numerical heat transfer analysis has been conducted with the simplified modeling of refrigerator gasket. From the present CFD analysis, heat loss at the gasket is $25.6W/m^2$ for the case without radiation effect and that for the case with radiation effect is $55.0W/m^2$, which is 2.2 times greater heat loss. The radiation protection layers were installed in the gasket from 0 to 7 and the case with 7 layers has 33% reduction effect of heat loss compared with the case without any radiation protection layer. Additionally, it is better effect of radiation heat loss reduction that the radiation protection layers would be placed to the outer or inner side of gasket rather than placing to the center of gasket.

A trapezoidal fin with various lateral surface slopes is designed optimally by using one-dimensional analytic method. For four different convection characteristic numbers, the trend of heat loss as a function of fin tip length is shown. The optimum heat loss is somewhat arbitrarily chosen as 92% of the maximum heat loss. The optimum fin length corresponding to this optimum heat loss versus convection characteristic number is presented. The optimum effectiveness and specific effectiveness is presented as a function fin shape factor.

Interests and importance of down-scale combustor is increasing with the emerging need for miniaturized power source which is now a bottleneck of micro system development. But in down scaled combustor increased heat loss compared to thermal energy generation inhibits the usability and application of the device, so as a preliminary work of down scaled combustor fabrication. Modeling tool for the device should be established, in this study modeling approach of closed vessel combustion phenomena that can express heat loss effect and resulting quenching is proposed and the result is compared with experiment data. From this model heat loss effect following combustor scale down can be further understood, and further more design parameter and analysis tool can be obtained.

For the extension of the flash method the heat diffusion equation with heat loss and with an arbitrary heat pulse is mathematically analyzed. In the analysis the heat loss includes the axial and radial directions on the front, rear and peripheral surfaces. The heat pulse is irradiated from the source to the front surface of the sample and the heat receiving area on the front surface is controlled by the apertures of an optical system. From this analysis the thermal diffusivity of the samples can be determined more precisely than before by the data reduction method using various percent time. The data can be obtained by the extended radial flash technique adjusted correctly the heating area on the central part of the front surface with a proper aperture or the conventional axial flash technique heated uniformly all parts of the front surface.

Research to discuss the fire performance of materials requires tools for measuring their burning characteristics and validated fire growth models to predict fire behavior of the materials under specific tire scenarios using the measured properties as input for the models. In this study, burning characteristics such as time to ignition, weight loss rate, flame spread, heat release rate, total heat evolved, and effective heat of combustion for four types of wood-based materials were evaluated using the cone calorimeter and inclined panel tests. Time to ignition was affected by not only surface condition and specific gravity of the tested materials but also the type and magnitude of heat source. Results of weight loss rate, measured by inclined panel tests, indicated that heat transfer from the contacted flame used as the heat source into the inner part of the specimen was inversely proportional to specific gravity of material. Flame spread was closely related with ignition time at the near part of burning zone. Under constant and severe external heat flux, there was little difference in weight loss rate and total heat evolved between four types of wood-based panels. More applied heat flux caused by longer ignition time induced a higher first peak value of heat release rate. Burning characteristics data measured in this study can be used effectively as input for fire growth models to predict the fire behavior of materials under specific fire scenarios.

Extinction characteristics of hydrogen-air diffusion flames at various pressures are investigated numerically by adopting counterflow flame configuration as a model flamelet. Especially, effect of radiative heat loss on flame extinction is emphasized. Only gas-phase radiation is considered here and it is assumed that $H_2O$ is the only radiating species. Radiation term depends on flame thickness, temperature, $H_2O$ concentration, and pressure. From the calculated flame structures at various pressures, flame thickness decreases with pressure, but its gradient decreases at high pressure. Flame temperature and mole fraction of $H_2O$ increase slightly with pressure. Accordingly, as pressure increases, radiative heat loss becomes dominant. When radiative heat loss is considered, radiation-induced extinction is observed at low strain rate in addition to transport-induced extinction. As pressure increases, flammable region, where flame is sustained, shifts to the high-temperature region and then, shrunk to the point on the coordinate plane of flame temperature and strain rate. The present numerical results show that radiative heat loss can reduce the operating range of a combustor significantly.

Evaporation heat transfer coefficient and pressure loss were measured for three different micro-fin tubes and a smooth tube. The experiments were carried out with R-22 over a wide range of vapor Quality, mass velocity and heat flux. Heat transfer coefficient of the tube with slightly modified fin shape was found to be higher than that of the commercial reference tube by 60%. The improvement of heat transfer has been achieved without noticeable increase of pressure loss. Heat transfer coefficient was increased with increasing quality, refrigerant mass flux, and heat flux. However, the effect of refrigerant mass flux and heat flux was not great. Heat transfer coefficient at bottom was lower than that at top of the tube in low quality region, which suggested the existence of stratification in the micro-fin tube. Pressure drop was linearly increased with increasing refrigerant quality and was proportional to about square of mass flux.

Subsea pipelines are designed to transport mixtures of oil, gas, and their associated impurities from the wellhead that can have temperatures as high as $100^{\circ}C$, while the external temperature can be as low as $5^{\circ}C$. Heat can be lost from the subsea pipeline containing high-temperature fluid to the surrounding environment. It is important that the pipeline is designed to ensure that the heat loss is small enough to maintain flow and avoid the unwanted deposition of hydrate and wax, which occurs at a critical temperature of approximately $40^{\circ}C$. Therefore, it is essential to know the heat loss of subsea pipelines under various circumstances. This paper presents a comparison between numerical analyses and existing theoretical formulas for different backfills and burial depth.

In this study the behavior of engine cooling loss and overall heat transfer coefficient were studied experimentally using naturally aspirated engine and turbo charged engine. Using turbo charging, heat dissipation was increased because of the density of the mixture was increased with increment of inlet air flow rate. Therefore, cooling loss of turbo charged engine is larger than naturally aspirated engine. As taking the measurement of surface temperature of combustion chamber, gas heat transfer coefficient was calculated and found that it has greatly affected to overall heat transfer coefficient. The empirical formula of overall heat transfer coefficient established in order to predict of engine cooling loss and express only as a function of mean piston velocity.
