Laminar lifted propane coflow-jet flames diluted with nitrogen were experimentally investigated to determine heat-loss-related self-excitation regimes in the flame stability map and elucidate the individual flame characteristics. There exists a critical lift-off height over which flame-stabilizing effect becomes minor, thereby causing a normal heat-loss-induced self-excitation with O(0.01 Hz). Air-coflowing can suppress the normal heat-loss-induced self-excitation through increase of a Peclet number; meanwhile it can enhance the normal heat-lossinduced self-excitation through reducing fuel concentration gradient and thereby decreasing the reaction rate of trailing diffusion flame. Below the critical lift-off height. the effect of flame stabilization is superior, leading to a coflow-modulated heat-loss-induced self-excitation with O(0.001 Hz). Over the critical lift-off height, the effect of reducing fuel concentration gradient is pronounced, so that the normal heat-loss-induced self-excitation is restored. A newly found prompt self-excitation, observed prior to a heat-loss-induced flame blowout, is discussed. Heat-loss-related self-excitations, obtained laminar lifted propane coflow-jet flames diluted with nitrogen, were characterized by the functional dependency of Strouhal number on related parameters. The critical lift-off height was also reasonably characterized by Peclet number and fuel mole fraction.

The amount of heat loss of a refrigerator through the gasket is nearly 30% of total refrigerator heat loss. In this paper, quantitative evaluation for the effects of various effort to reduce heat losses through the gasket. The first trial is to extend the inner gasket to prevent the heat loss flowing from the inner of refrigerator. The effects of thermal conductivity changes of gasket and magnet are investigated by the numerical heat transfer analysis. The position change of hot line is also examined in the present research. From the present result of the numerical simulation of heat transfer, we are able to reduce the heat loss about 20~40% by using inner gasket extension. The reducing of thermal conductivity of gasket is considerable in the heat loss reduction. On the other hand, the thermal conductivity change of magnet has no apparent effect in heat loss reduction. The position change of hot line has considerable positive effect in the reduction of heat loss near gasket region.

The amount of heat loss of a refrigerator through the gasket is nearly 30% of total refrigerator heat loss. In this paper, quantitative evaluation analysis of heat loss through gasket is established with numerical heat transfer analysis. Extending the gasket shape to protect the heat loss from the gasket, power consumption is measured by using real refrigerator in a temperature and humidity chamber and suggest the gasket shape to reduce the heat loss. From the present result of the numerical simulation of heat transfer and experiment with varying gasket shape, we are able to reduce the heat loss about 20-40% by using extended gasket and the power consumption can be reduced about 5%.

In dish concentrating system, natural convection heat loss occurs in cavity receiver. Heat loss mechanisms of conduction, convection, and radiation can reduce the system efficiency. To obtain the high efficiency, the receiver is to absorb the maximum of solar energy and transfer to the working fluid with maximum of heat losses. The convection heat loss is an important factor to determine the system performance. Numerical analysis of the convection heat loss of receiver was carried out for varing inclinaton angle from 0$^{\cdot}$ to 70$^{\cdot}$ with temperature range from 400$^{\cdot}C$ to 600$^{\cdot}C$ using the commercial software package, Fluent 6.0. The result of numerical analysis was comparable with convection heat loss model of solar receiver.

In this paper, effect of air gap thickness between absorber plate and glass cover on top heat loss of a closed loop oscillating heat pipe (CLOHP) solar collector was investigated. The CLOHP, which is made of copper with outer diameter of 3.2mm and inner diameter of 2.0mm, comprises 8 turns with heating, adiabatic and cooling section. The heating section of the heat pipe was attached to absorber plate which heated by solar simulator simulated by halogen lamps. The cooling section of the heat pipe was inserted into collector's cooling section that made of transparent acrylic. Temperatures of absorber plate, glass cover, and ambient air measured by K-type thermocouple and were recorded by MV2000-Yokogawa recorder. Top heat loss coefficients and top heat loss of the collector corresponding to some cases of air gap thickness were determined. The result of experiment shows the optimal air gap thickness for minimum top heat loss of this solar collector.

Insulation of refrigerator with gasket material near door becomes the technical point at the aspect of heat loss and energy efficiency. Heat loss of refrigerator through the gasket is nearly 30%. In this paper, quantitative evaluation method of heat loss through gasket in established suggest the method for the improvement of heat loss. To analyze the heat transfer, we have used the common software Fluent that is used to CFD. Because of using the convection coefficient of heat transfer, we have solved only the equation of energy for heat transfer. As a result, we have known that heat loss flows through the heat flux vector and that the heat gathered out of the outside iron plate is transferred inner part through the gasket and ABS, etc. Through the result of the numerical simulation that use sub-gasket, we have known that we are able to reduce the heat loss about $20{\sim}40%$. when we applied that sub-gasket on a real refrigerator, the power consumption had reduced about 4.76%. In addition, when we applied a more improved sub-gasket on a real refrigerator and measured the power of the refrigerator the power consumption does reduce about 3% and we will try to apply the improved sub-gasket on a new models of refrigerator.

Down scaled combustor undergoes increased heat loss that results in incomplete combustion or quenching of the flame as a consequence. Therefore, effect of enhanced heat loss should be understood to design a MEMS scale combustion devices. Existing combustion models are inadequate for micro combustors because they were developed for analysis of regular scale combustor where heat loss can be ignored during the flame propagation. In this research a combustion model is proposed in order to estimate the heat loss and predict quenching limit of flame in a down scaled combustor. Heat loss in the burned region is expressed in a convective form as a product of wall surface area, heat transfer coefficient and temperature difference. Comparison to the measurements showed satisfactory agreement of the pressure and temperature drop. Quenching is accounted for by introducing a correlation of quenching parameter and heat loss. The present model predicted burnt fraction of gases with reasonable accuracy and proved to be applicable in thermal design of a micro combustor.

The dynamic behaviors of counterflow non-premixed flame have been investigated experimentally to study effects of heat losses and Lewis number on edge flame oscillation, which result from the advancing and retreating edge flame motion of outer flame edge at low strain rate flame. For low strain rate flame, lateral conduction heat loss in addition to radiation heat loss could be more remarkable than the others. Oscillatory instabilities appear at fuel Lewis number greater than unity. But excessive lateral conduction heat loss causes edge flame instability even at fuel Lewis number less than unity. The excessive heat loss caused by the smaller burner diameter in which the flame length is an indicator of lateral conduction heat loss extends the region of flame oscillation and accelerates oscillatory instability in comparison to the previous study with the burner diameter of 26mm. Extinction behaviors quite different from the previous study are also addressed.

A total loss of all heat sinks is considered a severe accident with a low probability of occurrence. Following a total loss of all heat sinks, the degasser/condenser relief valves (DCRV) become the sole means available for the depressurization of the primary heat transport system. If a nuclear power plant has a total loss of heat sinks accident, high-temperature steam and differential pressure between the primary heat transport system (PHTS) and the steam generator (SG) secondary side can cause a SG tube creep rupture. To protect the PHTS during a total loss of all heat sinks accident, a sufficient depressurization capability of the degasser/condenser relief valve and the SG tube integrity is very important. Therefore, an accurate estimation of the discharge through these valves is necessary to assess the impact of the PHTS overprotection and the SG tube integrity of the primary circuit. This paper describes the analysis of DCRV discharge capacity and the SG tube integrity under a total loss of all heat sink using the CATHENA code. It was found that the DCRV's discharge capacity is enough to protect the overpressure in the PHTS, and the SG tube integrity is maintained in a total loss of all heat accident.
