The boundary layer of a two-dimensional forced convective flow along a persistent moving horizontal needle in an electrically conducting magnetohydrodynamic dissipative nanofluid was numerically investigated. The energy equation was constructed with Joule heating, viscous dissipation, uneven heat source/sink, and thermal radiation effects. We analyzed the boundary layer behavior of a continuously moving needle in Blasius (moving fluid) and Sakiadis (quiescent fluid) flows. We considered Cu nanoparticles embedded in methanol. The reduced system of governing Partial differential equations (PDEs) was solved by employing the Runge-Kutta-based shooting process. Computational outcomes of the rate of heat transfer and friction factors were tabulated and discussed. Velocity and temperature descriptions were examined with the assistance of graphical illustrations. Increasing the needle size did not have a significant influence on the Blasius flow. The heat transfer rate in the Sakiadis flow was high compared with that in the Blasius flow.

High frequency induction heating (HFIH) is used in many industries and has a number of advantages, including reliability and repeatability. It is a non-contact method of providing energy-efficient heat in the minimum amount of time without using a flame. Recently, HFIH has been actively studied using the finite element method (FEM), however, these studies only focused on the accuracy of the analysis. In this paper, we can measure joule heat distributions by the electromagnetic analysis for HFIH and the temperature distribution from the heat transfer analysis by applying joule heat for a sprocket. The sprocket is heated over $850^{\circ}C$ due to joule heat and then cooled to under $200^{\circ}C$ by using cooling $20^{\circ}C$ water. These processes were used to calculate the FEM and then compared to our experimental results. The calculated outcome may be used to predict hardening depth in HFIH.

Since the KSTAR magnet structure should be maintained at cryogenic temperature of about 4.5 K, even a small amount of heat might be a major cause of the temperature rising of the superconducting magnet structure. The Joule heating by eddy current induced on the magnet structure during the KSTAR operation was found to be a critical parameter for designing the cooling scheme of the magnet structure as well as defining the requirements of the refrigerator for the cryogenic system. Based on the Joule heating calculation, it was revealed that the bulk temperature rising of the magnet coil structure was less than 1 K. The local maximum temperature especially at the inboard leg of the TF coil structure increase as high as about 21 K for the plasma vertical disruption scenario. For the CS coil structure maximum temperature of 8.4 K was obtained from PF fast discharging scenario.

Large area crystallization of amorphous silicon thin-films on glass substrates is one of key technologies in manufacturing flat displays. Among various crystallization technologies, the Joule induced crystallization (JIC) is considered as the highly promising one in the OLED fabrication industries, since the amorphous silicon films on the glass can be crystallized within tens of microseconds, minimizing the thermally and structurally harmful influence on the glass. In the JIC process the metallic layers can be utilized to heat up the amorphous silicon thin films beyond the melting temperatures of silicon and can be fabricated as electrodes in OLED devices during the subsequent processes. This numerical study investigates the heating mechanisms during the JIC process and estimates the deformation of the glass substrate. Based on the thermal analysis, we can understand the temporal and spatial temperature fields of the backplane and its warping phenomena.

Since the KSTAR superconducting magnet structure should be maintained at a cryogenic temperature of about 4 K, even a small amount of heat might be a major cause of the temperature rise of the structure. The Joule heating by eddy currents induced in the magnet structure during the KSTAR operation was found to be a critical parameter for designing the cooling scheme of the magnet structure as well as defining the requirements of the refrigerator for the cryogenic system. Based on the Joule heating calculation, it was revealed that the bulk temperature rise of the magnet coil structure was less than 1 K. The local maximum temperature especially at the inboard leg of the TF coil structure increased as high as about 21 K for the plasma vertical disruption scenario. For the CS coil structure, the maximum temperature was obtained from the PF fast discharging scenario. This means that the vertical disruption and PF fast discharging scenarios are the major scenarios for the design of TF and CS coil structures, respectively. For the reference scenario, the location of maximum temperature spot changes according to the transient current variation of each PF coil.

The cryoprobe used in cryosurgery should be fabricated in milimeter-order size for its practical usage. In general a miniature J-T(Joule-Thomson) refrigerator is applied to a cryoprobe. In case of the miniature J-T refrigerator, the mass flow rate of working fluid is small due to considerable friction in a minute flow path. For that reason, the miniature J-T refrigerator has a limited cooling power. To obtain the large cooling power from the J-T refrigerator, the refrigerator should have large mass flow rate and effective J-T temperature drop. These quantities are closely related to the geometry of the heat exchanger and the expansion nozzle in a cryoprobe, and are contradictory. The large mass flow rate leads to the small J-T temperature drop and vice versa in the miniature J-T refrigerator. Therefore, the optimal design of a cryoprobe to achieve maximum cooling power at fixed tube size and fixed operating temperature is required. This paper presents the design procedure of such case.

Reliability of CMOS has been severed under aggressive device scaling. Conventional technologies such as lightly doped drain (LDD) and forming gas annealing (FGA) have been applied for better device reliability, but further advances are modest. Alternatively, electro-thermal annealing (ETA) which utilizes Joule heat produced by electrodes in a MOSFET, has been newly introduced for gate dielectric curing. However, concerns about mechanical stability during the electro-thermal annealing, have not been discussed, yet. In this context, this paper demonstrates the mechanical stability of nanosheet FET during the electro-thermal annealing. The effect of mechanical stresses during the electro-thermal annealing was investigated with respect to device design parameters.

The Peltier heat absorbed or evolved at the solidiliquid interface in the unidirectional solidification process could contribute to the increase of temperature gradient in liquid and growth velocity, and the enhancement of crystal orientation. In this study, in order to measure the Peltier heat generated at the solidiliquid interface as a way of application to crystal growth, the thermoelectric effects were investigated on the temperature changes at the solid- and liquid-phase of the same material and its interface. Through the theoretical consideration, it was possible to separate sole Peltier. Thomson or Joule heat from the temperature changes due to current density, polarity, and temperature gradient. Thomson coefficient of solid- and liquid-phase as well as Peltier coefficient at the solid/liquid interface could be obtained.

The unsteady Hartmann flow of an electrically conducting, viscous, incompressible fluid bounded by two parallel non-conducting porous plates is studied with heat transfer. An external uniform magnetic field and a uniform suction and injection are applied perpendicular to the plates while the fluid motion is subjected to a constant pressure gradient. The two plates are kept at different but constant temperatures while the Joule and viscous dissipations are included in the energy equation. The effect of the magnetic field and the uniform suction and injection on both the velocity and temperature distributions is examined.

The electrochemical reaction between lead borate glass frit doped with Sn metal filler and Ni-Cr wire of a J-type resistor during a term of Joule heating is investigated. The fusing behavior in which the Ni-Cr wire is melted is not observed for the control group but measured for the Sn-doped specimen under 30 V and 500 mA. The Sn-doped lead borate glass frit shows a fusing property compared with other metal-doped specimens. Meanwhile, the redox reaction significantly contributes to the fusing behavior due to the release of free electrons of the metal toward the glass. The electrons derived from the glass, which used Joule heat to reach the melting point of Ni-Cr wire, increase with increasing corrosion rate at interface of metal/glass. Finally, the confidence interval is 95 ± 1.95₉ %, and the adjusted regression coefficient, R in the optimal linear graph, is 0.93, reflecting 93% of the data and providing great potential for fusible resistor applications.
