A technique for measuring the thermal diffusivity of nanofluids is proposed in this study. In theory, it has been well known that the transient hot-wire method can be used to measure the thermal conductivity and diffusivity of fluids simultaneously. However, when traditional methods were employed, the accuracy of the calculated thermal conductivity was considerably higher than that of diffusivity. The proposed method has two advantages for practical use: it only needs a simple data-conversion process for calculating the diffusivity, and it can skip the tedious calibration process involved in the case of a wire sensor. A validation experiment for the new system has been performed with the basic fluids, and the comparison experiment to compare the change in diffusivity of the base oil and the change in diffusivity of the nano oil has been carried out. It is expected that the present system will provide numerous methods for investigating the variation in the thermal properties other than thermal conductivity.

This paper describes flying inspection apparatus for 22.9kV distribution line. This apparatus is composed of multi-copter(more than 4 propellers), camcorder and remote controller. The existing inspections, such as hot-line inspection job and optical inspection method and distribution Line Checking Robot, have many restrictions. A electric working vehicle and hot-line job license are essential in hot-line inspection job. Besides its high cost, it can't be applied to the electric pole over 18m and road-blocked area. Optical method can't inspect upper side of electric facilities mounted on the electric pole. Robot method can't be applied to the corroded overhead earth wire and nothing of overhead earth wire. To solve the problems, in Korea Electric Power Co., we have applied flying inspection apparatus to the 22.9kV distribution line. The results of trial application show that this paper is practical and effective for the inspection technical method in 22.9kV distribution line

A simultaneous measurement of the wall skin friction and near-wall streamwise velocity fluctuations is performed using hot film and hot wire anemometers to investigate the relation between them. Near-wall turbulence statistics measured with a hot-wire probe are in good agreement with previous results. Turbulence properties of the wall skin friction fluctuations measured with a hot film also show fairly good agreements with those measured by others except that rms level is lower in the present study. Long-time averaged space- time correlations show that the wall skin friction is highly correlated with a turbulence structure which is tilted from the wall in the streamwise direction. Tilting angles are obtained from the phase shifts between the wall skin-friction and streamwise velocity fluctuations. The convection velocity of the near-wall streamwise velocity obtained from the space-time correlation is in good agreement with that from the direct numerical simulation database.

Increasing the critical current density of superconducting wire is one of the difficult challenges in the field of superconductivity. It is well known that the higher volume fraction of uniformly dispersed α-Ti is able to enhance the critical current density of superconducting material NbTi because α-Ti serves as a flux pinning center. The volume fraction of α-Ti highly depends on the grain size of NbTi because α-Ti precipitates at the grain boundaries or triple points. For this purpose, we investigated the effect of initial microstructures of NbTi obtained from hot rolling in various temperature conditions on the critical current density. In addition, subsequent heat treatment was assigned to precipitate α-Ti and groove rolling/cold drawing was adopted to produce a wire with a diameter of about 1.0 mm. It was observed that the band structure was formed after hot rolling at 500~600℃. It was also found that the volume fraction of α-Ti after hot rolling at 500~600℃ was higher and it led to the highest critical current density.

Among the many ways to measure the flow of fluid the hot air wind speed sensor is a device for measuring the speed or temperature by heat transfer of a fluid. However, the hot wire wind speed sensor is sensitive to external environmental factors, and has a disadvantage of inaccuracy due to ambient temperature, humidity, and signal noise. In order to compensate for this disadvantage, advanced technology has been introduced by adding temperature compensation circuits, but it is expensive. In order to solve this problem, this paper studies the wind speed sensor that does not need temperature compensation. Heated wind speed sensors are very vulnerable to the ambient temperature, which is generated by electronic circuits, even among external environmental factors. in order to improve this, the auxiliary heating element is additionally installed in the heating element to control a constant temperature difference between the auxiliary heating element and the heating element.

In this paper, the thermal conductivities of ethylene glycol. based ZnO nanofluids manufactured using the pulsed wire evaporation method are experimentally measured using the transient hot wire method at temperatures in the range of $10^{\circ}C$ to $50^{\circ}C$. For this purpose, ethylene glycol.based ZnO nanofluids with 1%, 3%, and 5.5% volume fractions were manufactured using the pulsed wire evaporation method. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was performed to investigate the suspension stability of the ethylene glycol.based ZnO nanofluids. Based on the experimental results, the thermal conductivities of ethylene-glycol-based ZnO nanofluids increase with increasing volume fractions of ZnO nanofluids. The maximum enhancement of the thermal conductivity is 26.5% for a volume fraction of 5.5% at $22^{\circ}C$. Finally, the experimental results are compared with conventional models such as the Maxwell and Hasselman & Johnson models.

Fine metal (Au, Ag, Cu) wire was extruded with hydrostatic extrusion process in cold condition. A vertical type 900kN hydrostatic extruder has been developed. The extruder was facilitated with high pressure container which are available for hot and cold forming. The container endured 1400MPa internal pressure and extrusion ratio To was achieved in cold forming for Au fine wire which had $600{\mu}m$ diameter. In contrast to the conventional macroscopic-sized-billet fine-wire requires higher extrusion pressure and effect of friction is much more significant.

This paper presents deposition and characterization of hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon (${\mu}c$ -Si:H) films on low cost glass substrate by Hot Wire CVD(HWCVD). The HWCVD ${\mu}c$ -Si:H films had deposition rates ranging from 2${\AA}$/sec to 35${\AA}$/sec with the variations of preparation conditions, which was 10 times higher than that of the films obtained from the conventional PECVD method. From the Raman spectroscopy, the prepared silicon films were found to be composed of the mixture of crystalline and amorphous phases. The crystalline volume fraction and average crystallite size, obtained from the Raman To mode peak near 520cm$^{-1}$, were 37-63% and 6-10 nm, respectively. The conductivity activation energy($E_a$) of the ${\mu}c$ -Si:H films, representing the difference of conduction band and Fermi level in an intrinsic semiconductors, increased from 0.22eV to 0.68eV with increasing pressure from 30mTorr to 300mTorr. The increase of $E_a$ with pressure indicates that the deposited films have properties close to intrinsic semiconductors, which is also proved with low dark conductivity of the ${\mu}c$ -Si:H deposited at 300mTorr. The tungsten concentration incorporated into films was about $6{\times}10^{16}atoms/cm^3$ in the samples prepared at wire temperature of 1800$^{\circ}C$.
