The behavior of surge induced in the discharge system of the thermal power plants by the sudden stop of cooling water pump is analyzed using the numerical model developed by Yoon and Lee (1997). Various effects, which are ignored earlier, such as discharge from internal system, air chamber and air inlet of seal well, monholes, open channel and sea are included. These effects of the surge behavior are systematically analyzed. Especially, the surge control effect and air pressure change in the air chamber associated with the area of air inlet are presented for easy application in practice.

The present study has been carried out to diagnose the temperature safety of a boiler desuperheater which decreases abnormally higher temperature of superheated steam in a reheater of a power plant. The liquid water in the desuperheater stays in a closed space. It becomes heated by the high temperature superheated steam and boiling could occur. Boiling might increase internal pressure and it could destroy the desuperheater if the internal pressure exceeds the allowable pressure of the desuperheater. The present study modeled reasonably the desuperheater and four cases of heat transfer analysis are executed with the consideration of insulator and natural convective fluid flow of the inside cooling water. For the case excluded the natural convective fluid flow, the temperature exceeds the allowable temperature and pressure. On the other hand, for the real case included natural convective fluid flow and insulator, the active heat transfer from higher temperature region to lower temperature region occurs and it makes the temperature in the cooling water below the allowable temperature and pressure. From this fact, it could be thought that the desuperheater in the reheater is safe from destroy or back flow.

Upper ocean response to typhoon Ewiniar (0603) and its impact on the following typhoon Bilis (0604) are investigated using observational data and numerical experiments. Data used in this study are obtained from the Ieodo Ocean Research Station (IORS), ARGO, and satellite. Numerical simulations are conducted using 3-dimensional Princeton Ocean Model. Results show that when Ewiniar passes over the western North Pacific, unique oceanic responses are found at two places, One is in East China Sea near Taiwan and another is in the vicinity of IORS. The latter are characterized by a strong sea surface cooling (SSC), $6^{\circ}C$ and $11^{\circ}C$ in simulation and observation, under the condition of typhoon with a fast translation speed (8m $s^{-1}$) and lowering intensity (970 hPa). The record-breaking strong SSC is caused by the Yellow Sea Bottom Cold Water, which produces a strong vertical temperature gradient within a shallow depth of Yellow Sea. The former are also characterized by a strong SSC, $7.5^{\circ}C$ in simulation, with a additional cooling of $4.5^{\circ}C$ after a storm's passage mainly due to enhanced and maintained upwelling process by the resonance coupling of storm translation speed and the gravest mode internal wave phase speed. The numerical simulation reveals that the Ewiniar produced a unfavorable upper-ocean thermal condition, which eventually inhibited the intensification of the following typhoon Bilis. Statistics show that 9% of the typhoons in western North Pacific are influenced by cold wakes produced by a proceeding typhoon. These overall results demonstrate that upper ocean response to a typhoon even after the passage is also important factor to be considered for an accurate intensity prediction of a following typhoon with similar track.

The heat generation of hydration of cement causes the internal temperature rise and volum& change at early age, particularly in massive concrete structures. As the results of the temperature rise and external restraint conditions, the thermal stress may induce cracks in concrete. Therefore, various techniques of the thermal stress control of the mass concrete have been wid'dy used. One of them is pipecooling which reduces the temperature of concrete with flowing water. The objective of this paper' is to develop a finite element program which is capable of simulating the temperature history considering pipe-cooling effect. The numerical results in this study are in good agreement with experimental data measured in the footing(l1 x22m). Therefore, this study may provide available method to predict the hydration temperature of concrete with pip:-cooling.

Porous concrete has large continuous voids of 20-30 % by volume, and this concrete is attractive as environmental material in Japan i.e. permeable road pavement, river bank protection with vegetation and green roof system which influence thermal environment. It is necessary to confirm the frost resistance when constructing porous concrete structure in cold region. However applicable test method and evaluation criterion of porous concrete has not defined yet. Therefore, the object of this study is to investigate the frost resistance of porous concrete and this investigation attempts to address this concern by comparing 4 kinds of specified freezing and thawing tests methods (JIS A1148 procedure A/B and RILEM CIF/CDF test) in consideration of actual environment. RILEM freeze-thaw tests are different from JIS A1148 freeze-thaw tests, which are widely adopted for evaluating the frost resistance of conventional concrete in Japan, in water absorption, cooling rate, length of freezing and thawing period, and number of freezing and thawing cycles. RILEM CIF test measures internal damage and is primarily applicable for pure frost attack. CDF test is appropriate for freeze-thaw and de-icing salt attack. JIS A1148 procedure A/B showed extremely low frost resistance of porous concrete if the large continuous voids were filled with water and the ice expansion in the large continuous voids set in during cooling. Frost resistance of porous concrete was improved by mixing coarse aggregate (G7) which particle size is smaller and fine aggregate in JIS freezing and thawing tests. RILEM CIF/CDF test showed that freeze-thaw and de-icing resistance of porous concrete was seems to be superior in that of conventional concrete.

Camshaft engines designed for constant engine loads have been applied to existing marine diesel engines. However, due to environmental regulations, electro-hydraulic servo mechanisms, which have a loaddependent cylinder liner jacket water cooling system (LDCL-JWCS), have been recently developed to individually control the temperature of the cylinders depending on the engine load. In this system, the 3-way valve, which prevents low temperature corrosion by reducing the temperature difference between the upper and lower parts of the cylinder, has been employed, but the outlet mass flow of the existing valve is low. In this study, the design of the internal shape of the 3-way valve was performed by analyzing the effects of the design parameters of the valve shape on the performance (i.e., the outlet mass flow rate and temperature). The proposed model was verified by comparing its performance to that of existing marine diesel engine valves.

Heat transfer characteristics of self oscillating heat pipe were experimentally investigated for the effect of fill charge ratios and heat loads. The heat pipe used for this study is made of copper capillary, has 0.002m internal diameter, a 0.34m length in one turn and consists of 19 turns. Heating and cooling section each have a length of 70mm. Water was used as working fluid inside heat pipe. As the experimental results, the self oscillating heat pipe was operated by self-exited oscillation and circulation of working fluid and the oscillation within the self oscillating heat pipe assumed chaotic behavior.

Development of modern internal combustion engine requires more precise indicator. In the case of strain gage-strain tube type indicator, thermal expansion of the indicator's fixed part makes zero-shift in spite of water cooling. Therefore, the authors analyzed the cause of zero-shift phenomenon on strain gage-strain tube type indicator and proposed a new device to compensate the zero-shift of indicator by electrical method without detoriorating the dynamic charcteristic. As the results, we found that the zero-shift is varied linearlly according to temperature variation of the indicator's fixed part and appling a new device, we can improve the zero-shift of indicator about 0.63% (0.63 kg/$cm^2$) of full scale, though we got 10% of it without the device at the cylinder head operating temperature (c.a. $200^{\circ}C$).

This study was carried out to evaluate the quality characteristics of white pan breads containing 0.5% of gums, including HPMC, MC and SA. Moisture content, water activity, cooling loss, bread volume, rheological, and sensory evaluations were performed to examine the bread quality characteristics. Moisture content and water activity were highest in the bread with added HPMC. HPMC showed the smallest cooling loss among the breads compared to the other added gums. The bread with added SA had the thelargest volume at $2,560{\pm}24$ mL. In terms of rheological properties, the hardness of the bread containing HPMC was lowest and the springness of the bread with added SA was the highest. In sensory evaluations, the bread containing HPMC was evaluated as the most preferred product by acquiring the highest scores in internal and external evaluations. Consequently, the bread containing 0.5% SA showed better volume and springiness values. However, the bread containing 0.5% HPMC showed greater moisture content, greater water activity, lower cooling loss, and better sensory evaluation scores. Based on the overall results, HPMC was considered to be the most effective hydrocolloid to increase bread quality.

The configurations of the evaporator and condenser of a water chiller can be determined from the trade-off between the heat transfer area, which is related to the capital cost and the pressure drop, which is associated with the operational cost. In this study, the design of the water chiller focused on minimizing the water pressure drop of both condenser and evaporator for given cooling capacity and requirements. Commercial enhanced tubes were employed to simulate real-life conditions. The results of the present analysis were compared with those obtained by HTRI software for verifying them. The results indicated that a reduction in the water pressure drop, which is associated with the short length of a tube, can be effected by decreasing the number of tube passes and increasing the number of tubes and the tube diameter. However, using a large number of tubes with smaller diameters can reduce the capital cost because the tubes are short. The reduction of the capital cost is due to the fact that a small-diameter tube has low internal thermal resistance and hence contributes to a decrease in the overall thermal resistance per unit length.
