For the experimental measurement of instantaneous surface temperature of the piston of the DI mono cylinder diesel engine, the instantaneous temperature proves, data acquisition system, and grass-hopper type linkage system were developed. The instantaneous temperatures on the piston bowl, crown, lands and skirt were measured and analyzed, and the following conclusions were derived ; (i) The crank angle for the maximum instantaneous temperature during one cycle varies and moves back and forth by the measuring positions and engine speeds. (ii) The engine speeds, the positions of the measuring points and the cooling water temperature had an effect on the instantaneous temperature amplitude. (iii) The instantaneous temperature suing phenomena appeared on the temperature profiles of the piston crown, top and second land of ring, but on the temperature profiles of the parts of the third land of the fing and skirt, they didn't appear, (iv) The isothermal lines in the piston were acquired through the operation of the finite elements method using the measured temperatures as the boundary conditions.

A Beta-type Stirling engine is developed and tested on the operation stability and cycle performance. The flow rate for cooling water ranges from 300 to 1500 ml/min, while the temperature of heat source changes from 300 to $500^{\circ}C$. The internal pressure, working temperatures, and operation speed are measured and the engine performance is estimated from them. In the experiment, the rise in the temperature of heat source reduces internal pressure but increases operation speed, and overall, enhances the power output. The faster coolant flow rate contributes to the high temperature limit for stable operation, the cycle efficiency due to the alleviated thermal expansion of power piston, and the heat input to the engine, respectively. The experimental Stirling engine showed the maximum power output of 12.1 W and the cycle efficiency of 3.0 % when the cooling flow is 900 ml/min and the heat source temperature is $500^{\circ}C$.

Braking performance of a vehicle can be significantly affected by the temperature increment in the brake system. Therefore, the important problem in brake system is to reduce the thermal effect by friction heat. Recently, many studies have been performed and good results have been reported on the prediction of the brake disk temperature. However, the study on the pad, piston and brake fluid temperature is rarely found despite of its importance. In this study, the temperature distribution of the disc brake system is studied according to the material properties of brake piston. Vehicle deceleration, weight distribution by deceleration, disc-pad heat division and the cooling of brake components are considered in the analysis of heat transfer. Unsteady state temperature distributions are analyzed by using the finite element method and the numerical results are compared with the experimental data.

In gravity die casting, die cooling systems are frequently employed with water cooling to remove the heat of the solidifying metal. Thermal modeling is an important technique in mold design for improving the productivity of the process. Computer simulation system which consists of pre-processor, main solidification simulator and post-processor has been developed for three dimensional solidification analysis of cyclic gravity die casting. The pre-processor is used for mesh generation in a PC system. The modified finite difference method is adopted for the main solidification simulation algorithm during all the casting cycles. The post-processor graphically presents the simulation results. Several experiments in automotive cast piston were carried out. The temperature variations in casting and mold with time are measured experimentally, and the results are compared with calculation results. The effects of cycle number on solidification pattern are also studied. Several experimental results for the prediction of shrinkage defects are compared with calculated results.

The Stirling cryocooler with helium refrigerant has been widely used for the cooling of the infrared detector, and the alternatives of the helium in the Stirling cryocooler are nitrogen and hydrogen gas. In this study, the performance experiment of the small FPFD(Free Piston and Free Piston) type Stirling cooler and the moving coil type, dual acting linear compressor was performed when the nitrogen and helium is used for the working fluid The results show that the nitrogen refrigerant has small cooling capacity compared with the helium, but the performance characteristics of the linear compressor does not greatly changed.

A free piston and free displacer (FPFD) Stirling cryocooler has been widely used for the cooling infrared and cryo-sensor. The thermodynamic performance of the free piston and free displacer type (FPFD) Stirling cryocooler is highly dependent on the operating frequency of the linear compressor and the natural frequency of the displacer. In this study, to find optimal relation between operating and natural frequency of the displacer the dynamic characteristics of the displacer in the expansion space of the Stirling cooler was investigated by experiment. The experimental results show that the Stifling cryocooler has maximum cooling capacity at the operating frequency of about 0.8 times of the natural frequency of displacer. Therefore the operating frequency of the Stirring cryocooler should be determined by natural frequency of the linear compressor and displacer.

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.
